Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015) by Smiyamot — 05 Apr 2016

How did Melville come up with the idea for "Moby Dick"? This movie tells the tale of an actual whaling ship that was attacked by a giant white whale. The survivor of the sinking tells Melville how it happened; the basis for his book.

Factual, made up, who cares? It's a great story of how men battled the ocean to earn their living, the risks they took. Also, a parable of our times where the rich elite get richer off the labors of the 99%.
