Not trying to establish a monopoly on the steel market and then collapsing due to your own black and white moral code. Never making it senpai.

OP I'm the same anon that suggested for you to not watch the movie version of Atlas Shrugged and I still strongly recommend in following that advice it's terrible and doesn't do the book justice.

The rest are fine suggestions though.

>>80078038
Breh. Just read the book it'll broaden your horizons.

This might be strange, but I'm literally an Objectivist.

So no, you don't have to tell me all that.

And I only watched the first movie, skipped th enext two. The Fountainhead was great, buit the best thing was a play of Anthem that I once attended.

die wille zur macht

>>80077352
None.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable world system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires.

So is stealing your own property form a theif wrong? So, in your view, justice is a non-concept.

>>80077352
Whiplash
There Will Be Blood
Black Swan
Five Easy Pieces (somewhat)
Camera Buff

>>80077539

atlas shrugged is a poor piece of writing desu senpai
fountainhead gets the same ideas across and is a much better read

>>80079241
>atlas shrugged is a poor piece of writing desu senpai
You just didn't get it.

>>80079241
>atlas shrugged is poor writing
stop this meme. it's unfounded bias by people who don't agree with the themes. the writing itself is not especially bad in comparison to american works of it's time.

>>80079241
>She sat listening to the music. It was a symphony of triumph. The notes flowed up, they spoke of rising and they were the rising itself, they were the essence and the form of upward motion, they seemed to embody every human act and thought that had ascent as its motive. It was a sunburst of sound, breaking out of hiding and spreading open. It had the freedom of release and the tension of purpose. It swept space clean, and left nothing but the joy of an unobstructed effort. Only a faint echo within the sounds spoke of that from which the music had escaped, but spoke in laughing astonishment at the discovery that there was no ugliness or pain, and there never had to be. It was the song of an immense deliverance.
I think that this is great writing. Why does everyone say that Ayn Rand is not a good writer?

>>80079257
bruh, i definitely got it. it's literally the exact same themes as the fountainhead.
it's a simple book anyway, don't act like its gravity's rainbow or something

>>80079294
i actually agree with most of the themes, i just think her writing is really cringe in atlas shrugged. parts of the book are brilliant - the monologues are great and your passage is good too. parts of the book are just a cringe fest, however. you can't honestly tell me that you think Ragnar Danneskjöld the pirate isn't a stupid fucking character.

>>80079752
not that anon but dude i fucking love ragnar

>>80079752
>it's literally the exact same themes as the fountainhead
lmao no

>>80079752
>Ragnar Danneskjöld the pirate isn't a stupid fucking character.
he's not, though.

This thread inspired me to reread Atlas Shrugged and apply for EBT

Can you imagine how fucking terrifying it must have been to work on the first skyscrapers? One slip and you're in for a loooong fall.

What I dont understand is why Ann Rand liked Victor Hugo when Victor Hugo was a Christian communist

>>80082006
It's Ayn Rand, and she only liked him as a writer and the fact that he did not show his characters as helpless, but heroic. She did disagree with him on everything else (and stated that explicitly) but said that he was her favorite writer purely for his skill and the sense of life of his characters/

>>80082103
Pretty sure it's Ann Rand but thank's for the explanation

>>80081260

not actually a real picture btw

>>80082120
>Pretty sure it's Ann Rand but thank's for the explanation
It's actually not.

>>80077636
Just play Bioshock.

>>80077352
This picture looks like his legs were crushed between those two rails and now he's just sitting there, patiently waiting for his death.

>>80082219
Bioshock isn't relevant and isn't about Objecitivsm.

>>80082407
Pretty sure it is but thank's for the recommendation.

>>80082174
No one cares that it's staged. They still have balls of steel.
