passion of ayn rand

no. 56 The Passion of Ayn Rand

Yes, I am embarrassed to say that I've never read Ayn Rand. It's not that she's not on the list, it's not that I don't own The Fountainhead. I've just never gotten there.

With that being said, I'm so sure that everything went over my head in watching this film. It was well made, Helen Mirren is beautiful in all she does, Eric Stoltz is, well, Eric Stoltz. Peter Fonda is elegant, in his own sad way.

Moral of the story, pick up the god damned book (the real Rand, not the book the movie's based on.)

I read all Rand’s fiction, some of her non-fiction, and The Passion of Ayn Rand. The Passion of Ayn Rand led me to conclude she was not a egoist but a maligant narcisist. I recently swas the movie The Passion of Ayn Rand. The actress playing Rand was excellent.
