@hamkinnes Admittedly, I don't think Herman Melville did any real research on Maoris when he originally wrote the book, but at least in this version they used an actual Maori actor. Have you seen the latest mini-series remake? Sorry, Raoul Trujillo, you're a nice guy but you're no Maori!
@QueenMegaera After reading up on it, you're right. Huh. I wonder where I got it in my head that the character was supposed to be Maori? Oh well, guess I owe Raoul a letter of apology and a box of steaks.
@QueenMegaera I think Melville is being a bit facetious in calling him a cannibal, in that at that time in history that was the perception of people but Queequeg in fact is noble (and is called that in Moby Dick too).
I love when they wake up but I would ask of our Maori Brothers and Sisters a question: What does " Ti'he MODIO' RA!" mean? Whatever it is, it seems frikkin Hilarious XD!!
i think its "the counterpane" - ish wakes up and cant tell the difference between qq's arm and the sheet and it reminds him of when he got in trouble climbing into a chimney and later in his room he fell asleep and felt like a hand was on him
@OzWatcher "I had been cutting up some caper or other I think it was trying to crawl up the chimney, as I had seen a little sweep do a few days previous; and my stepmother who, somehow or other, was all the time whipping me, or sending me to bed supperless, my mother dragged me by the legs out of the chimney and packed me off to be, though it was only two o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st June, the longest day in the year in our hemisphere. I felt dreadfully..."
My literary imagination is surprisingly similar to that of this production. It's always reassuring when me, the book, and the movie are congruent. Melville was an absolute genius.
I agree with you about the more tattoos, but in response to both you and "homelessathome" below, I'm prepared to sacrifice literary accuracy for the sake of Maori longhaired hotness.
I don't know of any one specific place, or website, where you can get it. Best option is to use file sharing software (eMule for example) and find it via the built-in search function of that software.
I thought Queequeg was gonna rape him

@OzWatcher In the book he's not even Maori, but some unstated "cannibal" (Moby Dick was forward for its time but seems rather rasist now).

His pipe is surprisingly more elongated than I had pictured in the novel... Did he hollow out a tree for that thing?
