- "Do you want to stand alone against the whole world?"
Architect Howard Roark has heard the voices of safety, convention, compromise. But Roark is a man as unyielding as the mighty structures he builds. And he will sacrifice everything--the woman he loves or the project he dynamites when others interfere with his design--to maintain his individuality in a world of lockstep conformity.

I think the fountainhead would make a great netflix series.
true
well yes, but actually no
We’ve got Mad Men. Same thing (almost)
left wing hollywood would never allow that
Great idea. It would be a lot different than Mad Men I think.
I can't imagine in this days any actor or actress with the inner power to represent Roark , Dominique or Toohey,
Benedict Cumberbatch has got the looks at least
I was thinking Tom Ellis...
@@flowhannesburg1912 that's exactly what I was thinking, he'd be great!
Mm, forget actors even with the most extraordinary men Roark can’t be found.
My friend :- James Bond, Tony Stark, Harvey specter
Me :- Hold my Howard Roark
Howard Roark on my mind looks nothing similar to the movie one.
Drew The Conqueror of Worlds Yeah, except for the eyes, which are grey. Howard's hair is curly, and almost never dressed well.
me too
Agreed.
First of all, Rourk was in his 20s. How old is Gary Cooper in this?
That looks like Michael Fassbender
Howard Roark would throw up if he would know which film studio did a movie about him......
Read this book twice. Always feels fresh. I could easily read a third, fourth and fifth time. Such a profound influence on me
"Peter Keating - selfish, weak." Hahahahaha :)
I read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand as a Marine on my way overseas on a ship heading to Okinawa and later Vietnam. Made my day.
yikes
I was in the Corps, also. In 1966 I boarded the ship _Simon B Buckner_ in San Diego bound for Okinawa. It took us 17 days because we had to go around a typhoon. I spent 13 months on Okinawa. You have all my respect for having been in Vietnam. I read _The Fountainhead_ when I was with the 2nd Tank Battalion at Camp Lejeune. I read all of Ayn Rand's books by the time I got out of the Corps in August of 1968. I'm 78 now and retired on 5 country acres near Louisville, Kentucky. Semper Fi.
I cant see the orange hair ?
Lmao
Almost always the book is better than the film.
It is also good to remember that the film was made at a time when people saw the world much differently that we do today. Where the film seems to make us feel embarrassed by such raw emotion, if we look carefully, we see that our embarrassment comes from being too shy to host those strong emotions in ourselves.
can you elaborate sir?
Not really , it's just bad acting as a result of bad direction. It's like a victorian melodrama.
@@christiancarruthers635 The film is a good film judged on its own terms a romantic realism rather than naturalism or journalistic-style realism. The characters are deliberately larger-than-life and they engage philosophical issues that wouldn't be appropriate in another type of film.
Whoa that sounded profound.
@@christiancarruthers635 More like a comic book
Dominique makes me laugh in this trailer. As well as Roark. i cant imagine anyone taking this movie seriously having read the book
Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay. A film is a different medium than a novel so things had to be altered.
Howard Roark looks kinda old to be in his 20's
This is when 18 year olds were adults. Those in their 20's today are children psychologically. Considering that ones physical anatomy reflects their state of being mentally, it's no surprise we don't see a man of this stature today.
Someone in Hollywood please listen - IT IS TIME FOR A REMAKE! We have to endure reboots of Spiderman twice in 10 years - why not look the classics and remake what the US is now having to face: the individual vs the collective.
A is A.
Cam Cameron your wish has been granted! Zack Snyder is remaking it!
@@manofmartin what?
@@MonotoniTV snyder is remaking justice league. He is fixing what Geoff Johns fucked.
@@manofmartin yeah I think he was talking about remaking the fountainhead 😂
@@MonotoniTV oooo. My bad.
This is not how we all want it to be. Howard Roark is not like that old man, and Dominique Francon, either. Their original charisma was ruined. Luckily that I've read the book. This is all wrong.
Im feeling same... Roark must be in the age of 20 to 30..
@@manirich5622 it started with him in his young twenties and progressed until he was like 38 or something
The time jumps were pretty big
Yeaaa
I don't know the details of the filming of this movie, but Roark's speech was the highlight, Roark's speech summed it all up, Roark's speech was basically the reason for everything that happens. Yeah, it was long, a little dry and difficult to pay attention to especially if you're hearing it and not reading it, but it was Rand's whole idea: Objectivism.
"The man who refuses to submit and to serve is a man who must be destroyed!" The trouble is, statists today (maybe then) would not state their evil agenda in such obvious, blunt terms. They would accuse Howard Roarke of wanting to hurt the poor and the environment and being funded by rich oil companies. The usual playbook. I thought this in terms of drama rather than politics and philosophy, seeing this movie when I was very young and unsophisticated.
Both novel and film were written in what Rand called "romantic realism." You don't take it literally.
Yes, Ayn Rand makes it more naked to push her point
This was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen it made me a endless fan of Gary Cooper
Best work must be done, whoever gets the credit.
Just read the book today and wow.....that wasn't how I picture it LOL but I feel like it'll be impossible to make a movie just like the book. It's too..powerful
My exact feeling too..the book is too intricate to be condensed into 3 hr movie.
I just love how Screen perfect all these actors are 🔥🔥
This movie includes what the newer Atlas Shrugged films are missing, that Rand was a modern romantic, and her books are romance novels as much as philosophy testimonies.
Huh?
The Fountainhead kicks off the first of our free movie nights in the Grainstore. Come along on Wednesday 16th April at 7.30pm to watch this fantastic classic!
If you don't understand the movie, read the book. Its a 500+ paged book turned into a less than 2 hour movie. However amazing movie it is, it doesn't do justice to the book. My advice to anyone who liked the movie is to read the book.
I'm 71 years old and currently on my 2nd read of The Fountainhead. I t's a truly GREAT read and the movie ain't bad either ( Cooper and Neal shine!!!) 🥰🇺🇲🥰🇺🇲🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I so badly want to make a remake out of this... I've spent a year looking for the perfect people to play Howard and Dominique!
Howard Roark should be played by a young actor w/straight red hair who actually understand Ayn Rand's philosophy and has read "The Fountainhead" multiple times.
Damien Lewis and Eva Green would've been perfect.
You realize that Neal and Cooper had a pretty hot affair as a result of this film.
Couldn't blame him!
Peter Keating is a man who defines himself through his relationship and dominance of others.
Love this rendition of Mrs. Rand's book. Hollywood wouldn't dare remake this: too much pro-Capitalism for them!
Eu Sei zack snyder is giving it a shot!
its hard to know how to respond to idiotic comments like that. You think Hollywood isnt a capitalistic enterprise do you? really?? Then let me just say two words: Blockbuster, and the second is Franchise.
It's too much pro-capitalism for almost anybody. If "The Communist Manifesto" was to be made into a movie, chances are, it wouldn't be a huge success.
@@regmunday8354 and they're all cookie cutter renditions geared towards the Chinese market. Only the "right" kinds of films get made. They're all bland and unoriginal. Fast food for the eyes and ears.
I take it back. Watching movie now and Grant does a fine job. Still, could really see Eastwood nailing it, too. Man, hard to get this movie right with a 700 plus page book. What happened to Peter Keating's fiance Catherine? Cutting room floor on that one, not exactlly a minor cut....oh well.
Save us Zach Snyder.
Anyone but Snyder.
Snyder is the perfect visual candy, absence of story director to take on this absurd so-called philosophical piece of crap!
Really looking forward to his take on this classic!!!
@@bigulf6712: Some people love Ayn Rand while others hate. Why would you say it's crap?
Imagining Marlon Brando from streetcar named desire as Hoard Roark....
I think Rand had wanted Clint Eastwood as Roark, and I agree. No one exudes a more could-give-a-damn-attitude than Eastwood, as well as being the ultimate man's man and one who stands alone and in need of nothing, which are the roles Clint has always so effortlessly played. In the few scenes here with Gary Cooper, he looks puzzled, perplexed, and stumped. That IS NOT Howard Roark. Howard Roark is a man of stone, not emotion.
Garry Cooper has too much James Stewart in him for the Roark role. Clint had the Height, and if that is who she envisioned it should have been made to happen. I guess Getting Gary was to make it a box office hit by star power.
When they have a big cursive "Denied!" on the bottom of the screen and Dominique on the top of it, I nearly died laughing - and I'm only halfway through the book!
Zack Snyder Remake Comeing.
Came here mostly because I heard Zack Snyder said that this would be his next big movie. I've never heard of the book or this adaptation until I saw the announcement. I am very curious to check out the book and this movie.
Ayn Rand demanded that Roark's speech be unchanged from her original plan. The director then condensed the speech because he thought it was too long for a motion picture. It's funny because the situation is parallel to what the court case was actually about: Roark's design for Cortlandt being changed unnecessarily.
NOW THAT'S A FUCKING MOVIE!
The advert says that Peter Keating is selfish?!?! That is funny!!!! He is so absolutely the exact opposite of selfish. Ayn Rand would skin the ad makers alive.
I didn't think she was horrible at writing dialogue... I actually laughed out loud at some of the things the characters said! Besides, she didn't write her books for the purpose of a "story" but rather for her narrative to hang onto something... her philosophical ideas was the point. However, I still thought the story was excellent.
We are fallible in our reason. Objectivism fails in its irrationality as Rand’s personal life collapsed into petty retribution visited on those closest to her.
I came here to say the exact same thing... I am so glad I read that book
I tried reading a bit last year, but didn't get into it so much. But then I read "Anthem" and loved it, and then just now I read !! "Atlas Shrugged" !! in all its awesomeness...try that one out! The first chapters were a little dry, but once you get into the story it is BEYOND AMAZING! I have to go give "The Fountainhead" a try now...and then I'm going to read everything else Ayn Rand ever wrote :)
With Rand's defintion, to be "selfish" is to live your life based on the expectations of others, whereas to be "selfless", you live by your own ideals and expectations, without needing anyone else's approval or validation.
Not sure how you could get your terms as reversed as you did.
Selflessness can include altruism, which demands that your standard standard of morality be set by anyone other than your self, that your mind and body be sacrificed to such ends. Selflessness can also include anyone who choses not to have any rational non-contradictory interests at all, and void the self, that is to say the mind and body, for instance a rapist, a druggy, a drunk, a serial killer, a yogic Francis of Assisi, Bernie Madoff, etc. To be self-ish, is to honour your mind and your body by carefully choosing and then taking care of your interests. To be selfish, you live by your own expectations, without needing anyone else's validatioin.
If you want to get into Ayn Rand, read Anthem, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. In that order.
Why in that order? just wondering
We the living too*
Love that old style Hays Office horniness. Yowza! Got any clips from Bright Leaf?
i remember when howard roark built the wyand enterprises for wyand
Too late for Architecture, I am am in the the not-so-cut-throat world of accountancy. Thank you for the heroic note bit, I was concerned that Roark will end up losing everything and would be a lesson in 'don't f*ck with capitalism because it has no humanity'.
I read this book 'cause I got hooked by the great dialogue between Roark and Cameron during the job interview. The rest of the story could of been told in one hundred pages. I wish it was too. I have always failed to understand the great hubbub caused by this story. Yes, I get it, brilliant individuals are often praised or persecuted etc, whether they achieve the credit they rightly deserve is political. So what else is new? We're all lucky to be on this side of the ground, everything is a gift.
Not everything is a gift. Achievements are earned. Achievers do not consider life a gift, but a challenge.
Roark shows us the entire range of challenges to expect, and shows us what it means to a creator.
"Peter Keating: Selfish, weak."
Selfish?
I caught that, too. The whole point of Howard Roark as a "moral ideal" was that he was 'selfish" in the way that Rand believed virtuous.
First, Rand was entirely OPPOSED to altruism. Second, there really is no such thing as altruism.
Rand felt that to be altruistic was to be, to quote Andrew Ryan, a parasite. She essentially invented an unstable philosophical system. Regardless, she felt it was every person's job to take care of their own needs first and foremost.
Altruism does not truly exist because we all doing things for ourselves. A good deed is never only for the benefit of the other person. It is always to help you.
Except that everyone almost is constantly self-sacrificing for this or that, where he believes to serve his interest in the service of a spook (Check Stirner's philosophy) because has confused his self-interest with something else. Stirner's spook is Rand's altruism, not acting rationally but ideologically, sentimentally, for a grandiose idea which is nothing but a virtual totem in man's mind.
The novel technically described that Keating and Roark was just in their 20s. how come they look way older?!
I know how did we go to this beautiful piece of cinema to something like high school musical, i feel so let down....
If they read the book they wouldn't call Peter "selfish", but "selfless".
Matt Smith can play Howard Roark, and Gary Oldman as Henry Cameron , they'll look amazing 💥
0:35 almost fell over laughing
Politics, education, publication, media, internet…Ellsworth Toohey are everywhere today.
"[T]railer for King Vidors screen version of The Fountainhead with a script by Rand herself. Can you imagine how difficult it was for the actors to get their lines out and try to sound convincing saying them?!?! (Its one or the other!)"
-- Richard Metzger
Well, Rand wasn't much of a fiction writer. Her novels existed primarily to advance her philosophy. They're filled with "speeches" that are really essays on Objectivism. The plots gave her a narrative to hang them on.
So by your standard fiction is poor if it contains intellectual dialogue.
Thanks sir 🙏💖......
@cashmeresox You are right about the connection between the book & script. I saw the movie, first, then started but couldn't finish the book because of disappointment. Rand did approve the casting for her book. In real life, Cooper & Neal were romanically involved, and, for some reason, Cooper didn't want her cast in Dominique's role. Their chemistry was great, and they weren't acting.......K
The least surprising thing I have ever learned is that Keith Raniere is a huge Objectivist.
and they missed the important fact that roark had orange hair. they could have waited a couple years for color to be available, unless it already was, i'm not sure.
For some reason, when reading the book, I always pictured Elseworth Toohey to look like Stephen Fry.
@lilliesNbees idk, I've never seen him act in a way that I would like to see Roark portrayed. Not anywhere close. He's been solemn, strong, reflective, and uncompromising but that doesn't mean he displays those values from the same perspective.
(and by innocent I mean he has the strength of value and apathy towards others' opinions that he views the world with a childlike innocence- it's in his relating everything to himself instead of himself to everything)
I know! Significant quality of his and it's all gone in the black and white version, plus Gary Cooper totally does not look like Roark.
I'm surprised they hav'nt done a remake of this movie. Like they did of everything else.
It’s not the romance but the meaning of it! To love another is not to like their reaction. Their feelings are irrelevant you deal with them as you judge. You don’t love because you like to see them happy. You love through your own judgement not theirs. Don’t live second hand. Peter is selfless literally he lives only in the onions and wishes of others. Roark lives first hand. He loves first hand.
Can any please share movie link
where can I watch the movie?
How I watch full the movie ? Can you give me the link for full ?
I haven’t seen this yet, but their description of Peter Keating as “selfish” says a lot about their understanding of the book, at least whoever put this trailer together.
I mean, he's what most people would call selfish. But more people are stupid and don't understand that his actions are selfless and greedy.
In the book he calls himself selfish too
Breathe ya'll... engagement is better than apathy... but vast diminishing Values of goose pecking or partial agonisim of ego shell building.... imperfection and still really strong and better
I would vote for Jared Harris as Toohey and the rest is fantastic @Vonoth
I couldn't agree more, on both counts
Is it ironic that Ayn Rand, whose whole shtick was refusing to compromise, had to compromise on several points to get this movie made? In the novel, Dominique Francon marries Peter Keating, then divorces him to marry Gail Wynand, then divorces him to marry Howard Roark. I guess the Hays Code wouldn't go for this, so in the film she's only engaged to Keating (and breaks off this engagement to marry Wynand), and then Wynand ends their marriage by committing suicide, which he does not do in the novel.
hey im reading this book now...dont spoil it...thanks
strattus99 they die in the end
The greatest movie ever made! She lives on in our hearts and minds.
isn't there a "south park" marathon you should be watching at your mom's house.
Not a two part no no! But I totally agree with you! I've actually spent a year looking for the perfect Howard and Dominique, but I'm sure that though they look the part, and might even have the appropriate attitude, they probably can't act.
Alguien más viendo el trailer en 2024
@redc338able Actually 2112 is more based on Rands Novel Anthem.
They should remake the movie. I hate old school movies like that. I'm not trying to be a noob (because I am also not much of a fan of today's popular movies.)
The book is amazing.
I'm going to school for Architecture and found that this book got me back into the love of buildings.
@Mwaterfall Yea, thats because they have to make movies today, that can keep the average individual's attention.
Wrong! He was perfectly cast! A great film! A classic book!
Grim Fandango brought me here for some reason because some developer was talking about how a skeleton with a powertool drilling a wall at the bottom of the ocean and a skeleton that was a travel agent who now is a revolutionary prisoner held an erotic brotherly connection that was alike a scene in this film... can someone link me that scene plz
Where I can Watch Full Movie..
Amazon prime
Is the movie any good? The trailer seems to be all over the place...
Why the hate? I just finished reading the book and I agree it was great but film is a different medium produced under different circumstances - expecting the exact same experience is pretty silly on reflection.
However, as an adaptation of ideals, I think BioShock might be a better reading of Ayn Rand. But again, different mediums, different requirements.
@tkloppel LOL. haha. i didnt notice that. thanks for pointing out =)
...sie warfen ein Papier auf den Boden - ich nahm es und sah in der Dunkelheit: N 50.5.ABC (-5) O 008.39.DCE (-3) war das die finale Lösung?
You either don't know that Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay to this film, or that she didn't care what people like you thought about how it would "blashpheme" the book.
What if they made a Pynchon book into a movie? That'd be crazy!
I wish they would remake this movie. It would surely be one of the greatest one. But I doubt that it is possible. The novel is too great to be transformed into a movie. Howark Roark the greatest! :)
I'm really looking forward to the Atlas Shrugged movie which should be coming out in.... oh the next five years, I hope.
Fountainhead should be an 8 part HBO miniseries.
it was in the 70s rich man poor man lol
I think ayn rand wrote this movie herself, or at least did the screen write for it
What if he is
*I am here becuz of zack snyder*
looks amazing! when is it coming out?
2077
1949
... what have they DONE to it?!
