This is absolutely one of my favorite books of all time. Is the book flawed, yes, but makes so many wonderful points and lets each reader imagine a life where they are Howard Roark and what it would mean to them. The movie however comes up short. It leaves out so so so so much that is in the book, but understandable considering the length of the book. The choices of actors to play the characters leave something desired. Nevertheless in two hours it gets its message across with conviction. The scene in the courtroom is extremely powerful and sends home what the Fountainhead is all about. You may agree or disagree with this philosophy but regardless it stirs emotion, imagination and thought in ones head. If you had never read the book this would be a delightful film, unusual, but delightful. Reading the book makes it a bit more difficult to watch as you realize that all the characters depths are truly not shown as in the book. Overall I truly enjoyed this film and would watch it again.
