DISH ch.345
I remember seeing this movie at the theatre as a kid. One of the great "old" movies around. |
|
Quoted: Did you ever see the version where Picard (Patrick Stewart) plays Ahab? Yes, very good. I love how Ahab panders to the crew using emotional rhetoric, and then how he calmly argues in trying to persuade the rational Starbuck. He's the same crazy, but uses different approaches to get what he wants. |
|
Starbuck: To be enraged by a dumb beast is blasphemy.
Ahab: Speak not to me of blasphemy; I would strike the very sun from the sky if it offended me. Awesome book. Ahab is a great villian. Hard to call him a villian really. He's quite compelling in his own way, more of a dark hero. |
