As an antidote for this weeks events I watched the movie made from Ayn Rand's novel "The Fountainhead" (1949) on DVD. Gary Cooper is Howard Roark and Patricia Neal is Dominique.The movie is a good introduction to Ayn Rand's philosophy of Ojectivism which is a libertarian philosophy that values individual freedom over the collectivism. Most liberals hate this movie but I love it. It was only released on DVD this week and it is a very nice copy of the movie. In the past I had only seen it on VHS tape.Patricia Neal is beautiful in this movie and she and Cooper are electric in their scenes together. I understand that they had a love affair off screen while the movie was being made.
