Ayn Rand is the embodiment and the definition of a sociopath. Her paper thin characterizations in her novel make it impossible to recreate them as a legitimate movie. Gregory Peck had literally nothing to work with and the latest movie was a well-deserved flop.

She has nothing of value to offer society. Her polemical style of writing is not even
as prescient as Marx.

It's true she has her acolytes such as Paul Ryan and formerly Alan Greenspan ( you see how much good that did for the economy).
