Sociopath, Narcissist, Hypocrite!


This movie is one of the worst things EVER! Creepy sociopath narcissist not only defends his own personal right to be creepy sociopath narcissist but takes it up a couple of notches. Everyone who isn't like him and does anything to benefit anyone beyond their own personal gain is a doormat loser and those who NEED help ought to be ground into mincemeat. WORSE than Ebenezer Scrooge, before he was set straight! WORSE than Donald Trump! Although close to both these despicable characters, totally out for themselves and to hell with any pedestrians mowed down by their juggernauts! As bad as Emperor Nero, who would burn Rome for not fitting his concept of Rome. And, yes, some "star-chitects" really are this egotistical, but this film glorifies this wretched attitude! It was terrible to see a fine actor such as Gary Cooper spouting such nonsense garbage and Patricia Neal getting all brainwashed and starry-eyed over it. At least in "A Face in the Crowd" she put Andy Griffith in his place!

As far as being a hypocrite, Ayn Rand took every advantage of systems created to help people while decrying the need of anyone to be helped. Such people are the true parasites of society. They should be run over repeatedly until every bone in their body is broken and then just left bleeding as they would do to others! The only thing this movie is good for is an example of why society is the rotten mess it is.
