@RoundularMan Monsterquest, I think. They had a historian guy talking about the novel and author, and he told about the original ending at the end of the episode. They were trying to find out if white sperm whales could really be as aggressive as in Moby Dick.It turns out Sperm Whales are kinda aggressive, and since a white sperm whale doesn't blend in with it's surroundings as much as regular sperm whales, it makes it more vulnerable to predators and would have to be more aggressive to survive.
@PyroGothNerd Thanks. I'll look into this. I know the book is based on the true life story of the sinking of the Essex whale ship. It was hit twice by a big bull sperm whale. But it was a regular one. Making it white was all Melville's idea. I've seen only one documentary that showed a white sperm whale and it was a baby. It had never been filmed and they wondered if it would stay white into adulthood. I never saw a follow up on it though and so wish I had recorded it.
Wow. Hilarious. Herman Melville could never have imagined that someone in the twenty-first century would so drastically change the ending of his book.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to read Moby Dick at all, what with all the re-edits of it. Someone else on Youtube very cleverly edited the Gregory Peck version of Moby Dick and Das Boot together into a storyline that made sense.
@AvatarYoda Heh, yeah. I'm a big fan of the book and it's an awesome story. I love the two movies too despite them changing stuff around and leaving so much out. I've always imagined Ahab turning into a nice guy if he just got his whale in the end. But this was something fun to do. I saw the one with Das Boot. It was incredible.
You've inspired me to make a drum and bass remix to this video like, including sounds of david attenborough, whale song, and myself fucking around on a microphone.... i'll holla when im done ;)
As a viewer, your editing was fine. I'm impressed with your obsession with Ahab. I was actually introduced to Moby Dick from that old Tom & Jerry cartoon "Dicky Moe", and I grew up and read Moby Dick twice, I love that book.
Thanks. Looking back I could have made this shorter. That's cool. It's so interesting how people learn about this not necessarily through the original. Yeah I love Ahab, he's my favorite character in the story. I always like bad guys.
Hehe, thanks. I guess it's like those RPGs with the crazy summons where the bad buys are killed but not the person summoning. Yeah not logical I know.
Hey there. I hope you realize I made this as a joke. It's a combination of several movies. Check out the info in the side bar. Yes I have seen the original with Gregory Peck. He makes a cameo in this one as Father Maple. I love both movies. They are the best for their own time periods. Ahab was my favorite character and I wanted him to win so I did this. That's what my site is about. Making new endings out of many movies.
the true moby dick was a chilean albine giant sperm whale, very ferocius and with the dimensions of a blue whale, many ships where sinking for this whale during more than 40 years in the beginning of the 18 century, on the coast of mocha island in the south of chile she lived
I like how he looked up when Ahab was talking about the gods. He looked up twice as if to check if they are really there hehe. He played a great Starbuck.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for the fave. I too like marine animals, monsters and paleontology. You have some cool vids in your faves.
Interesting... the scenes flow rather well, well done mate. I love Moby Dick, watched the 1956 version, haven't watched Patrick Stewart's version yet :P
Thank you. I'm new at this editing thing but it's a lot of fun. I've watched the original 1956 movie too and it's a very good movie as well. In the Patrick Stewart film Gregory Peck makes a cameo as the preacher and gives a rousing sermon. It as a nice little nod they gave to the original film.
Yes he was an awesom Father Maple. I've been looking on EBay and some of the DVDs are very cheap so I shall be getting it soon. BTW look in my faves. This one guy made an amazing edit of the 56 vs the German movie Das Boot.
Yep I always remember this film and felt Patrick should have came out on top in the end..curse that damned whale. But with this video my dream came true Lmao...
dude needs to learn to let the fuck go
