Review of The Fountainhead (1949) by Sindhu S — 06 Nov 2012
King Vidor's spacious black and white interior shots conveyed the grand modernistic ideal of the period that we still find impressive. The main characters while espousing their grand philosophical ideals were grounded only by their brutal sexuality.
This of course corresponded well with Ayn Rand's perspective and is a testament to her close supervision of the dialogue based on her screenplay. There is nothing to sympathize with in her story since the uberbeings are as unrealistic as is her philosophy.
Nonetheless, it's a film worth watching if you don't want to spend your time reading the novel.
