Finally. In just two months will be released in the United States a film adaptation of 'Atlas Shrugged' , the magnificent novel by Ayn Rand. Much we had to wait at the time who shocked us both, influenced and enriched by reading such a colossal work, as objectivist and individualistic philosophy that warning about the dangers of collectivism and state intervention, was a major earthquake in the political and cultural landscape of the time. Perhaps the explanation for the delay in bringing the story to the movies is due precisely to its character defiantly opposed to the parameters of political correctness. Therefore, we can conjecture the very little that will promote the film in our beloved Spain.
meantime, enjoy the key scene of 'The Fountainhead', another great novel by Ayn Rand, it itself made into a film by King Vidor few years after its publication. The architect Howard Roak, typical Randian hero played by Gary Cooper, argues in defense of their potential as creative and against those who, in the name of 'social good', they want to appropriate the fruits of their work. To this end, it all a hymn to liberty and historic achievements, culture and science. And, quoting the author herself, 'the man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress. "
