[leo7mt]

movie sucks books is like the best novel every written not only for the dark romanticism but theres a lesson for everyone

[dltanner99]

Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

[stepheng1483]

Our movies were far more innocent before our media (Hollywood, tv, newspapers, etc.) were monopolized by Jews, now they are filled with filth.

[alexp9999]

the similiarities between this movie and "Jaws" are manifold and delightful ;)

except in this movie, Quint's first monologue is more like, "I'll fight him for free!  But I'll catch him...and kill him......FOR FREE!!! BWAHAHAHAAA!!!'

[alexp9999]

dude...i never knew Abe Lincoln had such a passionate vendetta against whales!! O.o

[Balthic]

This depiction of Ahab is a lot less angry than how I imagined him when I read the book.

[reecemuir]

ahahh picture this

Moby Dick VS JAWS

[evelsteev]

I didn't know Abraham Lincoln chased whales...

[SSArcher11]

@evelsteev If you think the Lincoln similarity is weird, look at the scene in which Starbuck stands behind Ahab with a pistol.

[evelsteev]

@SSArcher11 Ahab is John Wilkes Booth??? I see he didn't free the slave....

[alexp9999]

@evelsteev  if you don't know.....now ya know!!! o.0

[evelsteev]

@alexp9999 nukka! LOL!

[loveyewnot]

motherfucker!!!

[southsydney]

captain pip...motherfucker

[teilhaus]

Long and strong men, shake ya bones!

[Clay3613]

Believe it or not. Gregory Peck doesn't like this film very much.

[lathandien]

@Clay3613 didn't*

[Yapostadodat]

Jaws before Jaws. So many different memorable characters on the boat, the boat itself, the ocean and finally the Whale. I lived by the ocean as a kid and I could relate to the mystery and compulsion of the open sea.

[georgejonez]

Split your lungs with blood and thunder when you see the white whale!

Just read Moby Dick.

listening to Mastodons ablum, Leviathan.

want to see this movie.

then sometime aquire a real, seaworthy, wooden, whaling ship, and start sailing. but since i have no need to actually kill any whales, i wouldnt kill any, they'd be my buds.

but i have to kill something... ah sea urchins, no one likes sea urchins. they shall perish!

[yossarianbooms]

@theoneguywiththeface, Killianbeason etc,

I'm delighted to have stumbled upon this enlightened corner of YouTube. Sometimes the trolling etc gets me down but this has cheered me up no end.

Great to Melville still stirring the mind and soul after 150 years.

[mrgetsoff83]

So sorry ahab, u should of gave up on her

[killianbeason]

yeah i think thats what Herman Melville is trying to say. the whale represents a monster who is all powerful. A monster who acts through instinct, and in the "eat or be eaten" stage of life he happens to take off ahabs leg. Ahab got butthurt and tries to take on a task of fighting the divine.

[tre103]

he's a pretty intelligent whale

[joeyyy777]

there she blows

[brewchugger]

one of the best thing bout the book is all the info on ceteology...

[MyCaprice1]

gee kids, I've always thought Moby was a metaphor for Ahab's big old ego. Moby is after all, a whale, a wee beastie and in his own way sinless. Sperm whales are pretty harmless, if you're not a fish or a whaler trying to harpoon them or their babies.

[theoneguywiththeface]

I'm almost done reading the book and I feel that Moby-Dick has numerous interpretations.

I see Moby-Dick as the Ultimate Truth, or maybe even God. Ishmael always tells what he knows of whales, but then says there are some mysteries to be found out. Ahab tries to find out the ultimate truth to find his purpose in life. As he puts this above himself and his own crew, we see how trying to find truth becomes and obsession and even self destructive.

[timages13]

I think it's obvious by the numerous references from various characters in the film that Moby Dick is the living God, ("old he was like Jerusalem's hills""If God wanted to be a fish he would be a whale"), even his scared description as that of Christ baring the sins of the world.

Ahab is pure evil, ("for hate's sake I spent my last breath at thee"). His name and his story in the bible. All the names in this film/story for that matter and how they pertain to the Bible.

...call me Ishmeal.

[bunnylinguist]

Ishmael...

Moby-dick is too complex a written work for its characters, especially the eponymous Whale, to be reduced to 'one meaning', even one as big as 'God' or 'evil'. The same ought to be true of the fims, and it might be worth your whale to read the book.

[moonshinerman]

I think the whale represents the adversaries of men, be they human or animal and the urge to strike back at them even if it costs your life and the lives of others doing so. I know this because I see Ahab as a kindred spirit. I have sought vengeance over time and distance myself and could never rest until I had satisfied my lust for retribution. I still carry my share of unfulfilled acts of vengeance and can never be at peace until I carry them out.

[xxXRoseCherryXxx]

I like this story very much. Moby Dick story is EPIC!

[TheNiceMeanMan]

The birds----The birds---!! HE RISES!!!!

[JamesBong0]

so does the whale represent the ghost in everyones lifes or am i thinking to much =o?

[Panadawn]

The whale represents fate, and Ahab's obsession is man's struggle against his fate.

[TheNiceMeanMan]

Ahab's hatred for that which he cannot control is a lesson to those who shake a fist at God. Ahabs story is rife with challenges to the Almighty. Like shaking his fist towards Heaven and saying "Without a wind, we'll lose him". And "Ahab's red flag challenges the Heavens". And "he spat into the holy cup of [the church]". Another more damning statement was "All creatures are as paste-board masks" Some intangible thing puts forth their features. But it is thing behind the mask that I chiefly hate"

[bodypowr]

id like to see daniel day lewis as captian ahab

[pennylaneproductions]

Reading the book now for the first time and loving it! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Charlton Heston's reading of it. (actually it's three readers but Heston reads the 'Ahab' part. It is some of the finest voice acting you'll hear.

[Postie1]

In the book, Ahab spotted the whale first, and Pip was never left in charge, he was a coward. Still, great movie, awsome book.

[Ekulssorc]

Lol, i was looking for John Bonhams solo and i found this! lol. I did'nt really like this movie but the book was amazing.

[hultonclint]

The whale was very well made in this movie....before the days of crappy CGI

[maynardrhodeskeenan]

The novel is mans finest description of life itself. I'll seek my end through whatever perils

[zuzupetals1999]

Moby Dick is one of the most miserable books I've ever read. I'm convinced it's noted as a "classic" because no one would read it otherwise. I'd rather sit home and read stereo instructions. At least the sentences don't run on for an entire paragraph. If I hear the word "leviathan" one more time, I'm going to puke.

[otrebor16]

great version of the book

[Tubetime44]

The end was creepy. Loved the book.

[ENGLANDERNo1]

Just finished this book and it was absolute DROSS- hope the film is better. I'd sooner chew my own hands off than read that again!!

[FriiscoNica]

uh can somebody upload like the whole movie, i am not tryin to read that boring long ass book

[betmarrufo]

Classic... Poor Pip. Being Captian comes at a great cost.

[Taadee]

The best movie version of Melville's novel. My favourite.

[Forguneif]

Greg Peck kind of looks like Hugh Jackman except more refined

[kondurperu2]

It would be great a remake of this movie

[TristanMurcia]

Why doesnt anyone have the entire ending scenes?! LIke from the start of this scene till the crews death! LOVE this MOVIE!!!

[ncarolinatim]

The death of Pip the cabin boy has to be one of the most hillarious in moviedom! The expression on that kid's face kills me! But, a great film and the best version yet!

[drdaibel]

fuckin great movie
