A wonderful film masterpiece whose spellbinding imagery long before CGI was so well made. The quality of the actors is incredible, and lots of amazing faces. Look closely at the faces of the women and families bidding farewell as the Pequod pulls away: these are rough-hewn New England sea-wracked people: look for the bearded old women. And wow, the sermon of Father Mapple [Orson Welles] is its own short masterpiece. How hilarious to see Mapple pulling up the rope ladder before the sermon, thus severing his ties with the temporal and earthbound. The greats: Dir: John Huston; writers included Ray Bradbury; and leads Orson Welles and Gregory Peck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-57436226379261900962011-05-26T10:10:40.860-04:002011-05-26T10:10:40.860-04:00Well, for crying out loud, Blogger still won't...Well, for crying out loud, Blogger still won't let comment on my OWN site, except as Anonymous.
