It would be great to get Mel Gibson to produce and direct a remake of the movie based on Ayn Rand's novel "The Fountainhead". There is a scene where the architect Howard Roark gives a speech in his own defense at his trial. There is so much in that speech that is a direct indictment of all the leftist PC mumbo jumbo that is accepted without question in the media and by people in general today. The speech is long but it is so beautiful in its reason and logic. I think that speech alone is so powerful that I want to see the movie made just so that people get the context of and then the blast of that speech. Mel has the values and instincts that would do justice to it on film.
Hmmmm, I don't remember that scene. Must not have been important.
Yeah, but no one alive today could play Roark as well as Gary Cooper did.
But yeah, that speech would shake up all the Ellsworth Tooheys on the left and in the MSM. (The Wynand media?)
Yeah he sure does, but Gibson also has the common sense and good taste not to produce a film based on one of the most horrid and turgid novels ever written. I think you really want that Pulp Fiction fellow doing the film.
