#2011 moby dick

still losing my mind over the 2011 MobyDick shows decision to make Stubb, second mate Mr. "makes fun of the disabled captain and bullies the older Black cook and treats Fedallah with violence repeatedly and threatened a child with slavery and then abandoned him to drown" Stubb an anti racist like gbskfjekfk. i never thought I'd be mad about an adaptation making a character less racist but the decision to make all the officers #Good White People who correct the racist lower sailors is SO OFF THE POINT OF SYSTEMIC CAPITALISM THAT MELVILLE WAS TRYING TO MAKE. AND it takes away the agency of the characters of color defending themselves and each other WHICH THEY DO IN NOVEL, in favor of making Mr Racism now suddenly in favor of diversity i just

[ID: A screenshot of text reading: "he would not fucking say that." End ID.]

the POINT is inherently unfair systems and power dynamics and the violence of capitalism. the point is finding community and rallying against the awful oppressors who are in charge. finding community even within that. sanitizing the oppressors feels very very weird to me

happy pride to these two whalers i guess

Has anyone ever made a gifset of Charlie's heartrending cryface throughout his filmography??

...Because the man has a gift that deserves to be appreciated.

Case in point:

There are very, very few actors/actresses capable of making me genuinely tear up like this man right here.☝️☝️☝️

It's a true gift, born straight from the natural sensitivity of his soul. The ability to break and heal your heart again and again in the best way possible. 🥺💔❤️

(And he's just getting more and more accomplished at it with age!! 🙏)

I figured the last time I watched Moby Dick (2011) and gut sobbed at the end it was due to that year being hard...nope! I am sitting here at 2am, eyes swollen because I did it again. 😭😭😭😭😭

"You will live!"

They sure made this Ahab a dark protagonist haunted by himself and bringing the doom of everyone with him. Knowing he is getting crazy but deciding it is but a biblical hero, what will happens is but what was written. Saving the only boy believed in him, because he was too innocent to understand the doom he was bringing.

What did Ahab mean by this.

Moby Dick (2011) Pt XVI ~

“Drink and pass!” [Ahab] cried, handing the heavily charged flagon to the nearest seaman. “The crew alone now drink. Round with it, round! ....Drink, ye harpooners! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat’s bow -- Death to Moby Dick! God hunt us all, if we do not hunt Moby Dick to his death!” (MD, Ch 36)

“I, Ishmael, was one of that crew; my shouts had gone up with the rest; my oath had been welded with theirs; and stronger I shouted, and more did I hammer and clinch my oath, because of the dread in my soul. A wild, mystical, sympathetical feeling was in me; Ahab’s quenchless feud seemed mine.” (MD, Ch 41)
