The Fountainhead


The Fountainhead (1949)


“no man takes what’s mine”

It is a story of a complicated preachment on the rights of the individual in society and also upon the privilege of a lady to change her mind.
Starting out to tell the story of an architect (Howard Roark) who insists upon fashioning buildings as he wishes or not at all, the plot very soon involves him with an unusually idealistic girl, a power-mad newspaper publisher, a vicious critic and a weak, exhausted old friend.
It is a tale of an architect who believes in his own idea, principal, design and philosophy, who we may call a stubborn or arrogant.
He is unbelievably patient and tolerant, even his critics called him “an mature arrogant” because he is a type of professional who doesn’t believe in the past and only looks and think forward, also he believes that “a building got its integrity like a man” also “form of the building should follow its functionality”.
Others have rights, including the right to protect themselves against cheats and dishonest people. The man who puts his name to the designs for the building in this picture is a dishonest man. Furthermore our hero, in full awareness, is an accessory to his dishonesty. If all were excused such transgressions, then society would indeed be in danger!
