This review is from: Great Books: Moby Dick (DVD)
This film like the series is more than just a visual picture of the book. It is really a Melville biography using "Moby Dick" (1850) as the hinge point. With the combination of many old films and illustrations from various versions of Melville books they pate a picture so intricate that you have to repeat the viewing several times to digest it all. This is narrated quite well by Donald Sutherland. The executive editor is Walter Cronkite. The only thing I find frustrating about this is the sound byte format they used. Instead of reviewing with a single actor or author they jump from one to the next.This is more of a lively Cliff's Notes with insight as to many things as the character of the characters. The meaning of white is different for each character. And the interaction of the characters has meaning in it's self. There are just too many layers to go through in this review. One statement I found fascination is "To Produce a mighty book, you must write a mighty theme" (Ishmael).
