The Fountainhead - The Courtroom Speech

Unread post

While the speech is signifigantly altered in the movie version, I like this speech, especially paired with the music. A great book, and movie.

I'm interested if anyone has ever read the book, or at least, have seen the movie before.

I did read the book many years ago, it was great, and I went on to read Atlas Shrugged and Anthem by Ayn Rand also. I have to admit that Anthem was by far my favorite, although I liked them all very much.

I also read it years ago. I enjoyed it to a certain extent but did get a bit tired of the self focus. Being true to oneself is good, but Rand didn't show any altruism in her characters and that started to bother me a bit.
