Well done, mate. Hey,...have ya heard of "In the Heart of the Sea" ?? Nathaniel Philbrick, that's The Name you need to think of, when you hear about "this movie", later in 2015. 'Not often (now days) anything So Great is written by one with so much detail. I mean, not when it was a true Adventure story that took place in early 1819. THIS IS -- EASILY -- ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS ever READ! & I fear I will give it away, if I go on. Again: True. Survival. Happening. Book written by, ... one who was there. To hell what it inspired (Melville's "Moby Dick".) You may even remember (riiight) my going on about this book in 2009-10? when I read it and just started to post on Fb, how un-fn-beeleevable, this story is. "Is" because it is real, it happened..., and only time (& Melville's great book) blurred, burried this story, which was again, gut-wrenching, heart-filled, ...real-life American history (see: DJ Drama; whale hunting; Massachusetts sea faring; true beauty.) I am emphatically telling you: READ THIS BOOK. BEFORE You See the Movie. I am sure Ron Howard, directing, handles it with the respect it deserves. He is a Great Director. Just, trust me-- you need to read what, Philbrook, himself, "lived" and wrote years after, when incredibly, his account of this classic American-survival tale was found in a most un-conventional way. America became so big, so large that a tale of the sea, I guess, in a time without " media " (wink, wink) was...lost. It was so long-forgotten, and again, it is one-thing to say it inspired Melville to write a classic, fictitious American novel, when he did. It is another to rediscover the crazy, incomprehensible real-life story, itself. It was eal, not the prose of 'Moby Dick', and in my opinion because it was true, a story I can visualize a little more, clearer. the old 'fiction v. non-fiction' battle on this front, I spose. But, with this one-- yikes. We'll all agree, after a deep breath, "Jes', what would I have done?" Do yourself a favor. READ THE BOOK FIRST.
