Is either writer a fan of Ayn Rand?

In addition to all the other (many!) interesting and brilliant things about this movie, is it just me, or does anyone else see curious parallels to "The Fountainhead"? Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that Primo is Roark, Pascal Wynand, and Secundo Keating? Sure would be interesting to know whether that was in the writers' minds or not....

No one except gullible idiots are fans of Rand, so no they're not.

Exactly what I was going to say. LOL TFF

She wrote great books. The fountainhead is a great book! You do not have to be right wing to understand that.

You just sound dumb but thankfully an even more stupid post comparing Rand to Hitler came after yours so congrats yours is the 2nd dumbest response.

Not tough enough. Ayn Rand is the lamest writer since Adolf Hitler.

Her political philosophy is the opposite of Adolph Hitler. Perhaps you are confusing her with Margaret Sanger.

Very intuitive. I never saw that until now.

Pascal Wynand? It's Gail Wynand.

You'll likely never read this, but I had to post it. I see no connection to The Fountainhead, which I thought was a great movie and an even greater novel.
