THE REEL DEAL:
by Ben Show
IN THE HEART OF THE SEA REVIEW
The trailers for this film looked promising and, while I have not
read ‘Moby Dick’, the trailer was enough to inspire me to read it
when I can. The movie looked well cast, well directed, and with
enough action to fill its two hour run time. ‘In the Heart of the
Sea’ looked to be an exciting historical piece about the men who
survived Moby Dick.
Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw) is looking to find out the truth
about the disaster of the Essex. He is able to track down Tom Nickerson
(Brendan Gleeson) and convinces him to tell the story. The
tale that Nickerson tells is one of how the final journey of Essex
bonded a group of men through storms, whaling, and an attack
from a monster unlike any they have ever seen.
‘In the Heart of the Sea’ has a very slow beginning and, once it
picks up (signaled by them boarding the whaling ship), it becomes
a very hard movie to sit through. Between stupid decisions made by
characters, visceral whale hunting, and disturbing acts committed
solely to survive, the rest of the two-hour runtime is intense. However,
that does not mean that it is not an important movie. This film
highlights a dark part of human history, one that is important to
observe so that we do not repeat our actions in the future. While ‘In
the Heart of the Sea’ may not be an entirely enjoyable experience, it
has many good moments and is worthy of being seen for the history
lesson alone.
