I agree in part with both of you...but I see the analogy of following the vision within you and I can believe in that, as long as you are in your right mind and within Godly guidelines,as the creation of this movie was. I think it's an interesting analogy to think about and discuss so far as one's craft is concerned, and the sources of the drive within you.
Clearly Mel's and Howard's source were not the same...especially given atheist Ann R as the author of Howard/Fountainhead. I won't get into what I thought of Howard and Dominique...that's the sick part!
You think Mel Gibson is self-effacing and inferior?
Are we talking about the same Mel Gibson? I'm sure his wife doesn't think that.
