Review of The Fountainhead (1949) by Pierluigi P — 02 May 2012
A 'lever' to spring the giant ideology-machinery to life, again - A dose of nostalgia, at best. Which is why, perhaps the best description of this WB feature could be of a 'reminder' of what the novel had to say - well mostly.
While most adaptation suffer from the time constraint, the directors did a fine of job of capturing the crux of Ayn Rand's work. However, there were still some supplementary facts that complemented the author's somewhat extreme and contrasting opinions and made them a touch subtle that the movie missed.
Again, as stated before, the movie is a brilliant watch, as long as one is up for reliving the experience of reading the book - not a bad utilization of one's time, I confess!
