Moby Dick - Is anyone else struggling with this?
This is a late posting, but I want to share an experience I had in November of this year. Ray Bradbury, the screenwriter for the movie, spoke at a local library. He basically voiced the same observations that a few of the above posts state. But, he had a revelation. That was, Herman Melville was Shakespeare! Moby Dick is much like Richard III. It was then that he was able to finish the book, and continue to the end of the screenplay.
I'm no further than 10 dailies, but I'm eager to experience the same revelation as Mr. Bradbury.
