when he argues with the ghost rachel

while starving on the remains of the rachel tree

that they’ll make it, not to worry

is one of many dualities in the film

after the fountain,

as conquistador, brain surgeon, a timeless monk

i stopped seeing hugh as wolverine

but as a very gifted actor

“while watching, you kept fumbling with the ring,”

rachel said to me,

the ring her mother gave to me

that i carry around my neck -

“keep her safe, this is the wedding band i wore when pregnant.”

The problem isn't people enjoying her works as novels, it's people taking her philosophy seriously - or at least not recognizing its apparently rather pathological basis.

Will you judge me a horrible person for considering The Fountainhead to be one of the best books i've ever read? Well, if we go purely by literary merits... I just really liked the writing and characters and story. I really couldn't put it down. I also don't have your normal mindset... so yea.... …
