I feel like the only person in the world who loves this movie. Everyone in my English class hates it, but I think it's bucketloads of awesome. :D

NOTHING (including this) comes anywhere close to the original Gregory Peck version of the early 50's...............

In context the original is far far superior

jager....

@silvertamagachi You have my support. Best production, to date.

@silvertamagachi Hahahah,

Trust me, you're not the only one..

I like this movie too!

I feel Stewart's portrayl of Ahab was more true to Melville's vision for him. You hate him but you can't help but feel sorry for him.

@silvertamagachi I like it. When I first watched this movie I never read Moby Dick or heard much about it (sometimes I would hear about it in TV shows, but it wouldn't interest me). Then one day I was bored and it was the only thing on TV that I could find, so I decided to give it a go. I watched it and it was great! I wish I could read the book now :P

I think that Peck offered a balanced, complicated Ahab, even in his madness, but Stewart's interpretation of madness was so genuinely complete and irrevocable, that it's almost hard to believe that he's only playing a role. So, when I think of Ahab's madness, I think of Stewart's portrayal.
