😿😿😿
Edition screened: MGM DVD, released 2001. English language. Runtime approximately 115 minutes.
Summary: Whale hunting, killing, and butchering.
Details:
1) The first whaling sequence begins in earnest at 34:30 when the whalers ‘strike’ a whale, that is, drive spears into her back with ropes attached that will tow small boats along. The blood flows 45:08-45:35, followed by the shipboard butchering, 45:54-46:40.
2) The second whaling sequence has a strike and tow starting at 56:10, with real gore 56:30-57:58, then the whale is hauled back to the Pequod at 58:10.
3) The final hunt, Moby Dick himself is struck at 1:46:20. Captain Ahab becomes literally bound to the whale and stabs repeatedly and violently into him with a long harpoon, 1:48:35-1:49:00.
Hahahahah! They all die at sea except for stupid Ishmael, who appears to be rescued but probably dies from some injury. Heeheehooha! Captain Ahab got dragged to Mickey Dolenz’s locker without knowing if he actually killed the Great White Whale or not. Hardy har har, hoohoo! Stupid Pequod rammed, smashed, and sank. Heeheeheeheeheeeeee!
