Ghost and the Sea Wolf
 
A good flick. 3 stars

http://www.stairstars.com/dyn/detail.php?listingid=36

Was on the tube last night, I'm guessing this is the ship Rob named
his rock basher Ghost after.

Cool story, but like Rob lacking in everything realistic about
sailing. All fluff and fake when it came to seamanship and nautical
knowledge.

LOL! Joe thinks London's The Sea Wolf had a "cool story." It's no
wonder that Joe sees the world in such two dimensional fashion.
Great weather here...I'm off for a sail at 1:00. Then sailing again
Friday eve, Saturday and Sunday. I'm all set to post videos again so
stand by for some actual sailing!

No dumbass the movie was cool. Yet it lacked a good director with any
nautical knowledge. Did you direct it?

Do you see yourself as the Captain Wolf Larson type when you call
yourself Captain?

You wrote "cool story" NOT "cool movie." You're so stupid and lacking
in a fundamental education, you practically scream it with every post.
As for the director of The Sea Wolf, a movie not at all about sailing,
it was directed by Michael Curtiz who also made such little films as
Casablanca, We're No Angels, and Yankee Doodle Dandy. It was written
by Robert Rossen who also worked on The Hustler and A Walk in the Sun.
Now if you want more nautical texture then try reading the book, or
have someone read it to you. In the meantime you'd do well to avoid
talking about subjects you know little about...such as film and
sailing.
The Sea Wolf by Curtiz remains the finest adaptation of the story,
though there are quite a few changes from the original.
On the other hand Joe's idiocy remains unchanged.

I guess for you lubber types it's easy to get past the fact one
person is sailing and manning watches on a 100+ ft clipper ship, and
that the entire flik is lacking any actual working the ship underway
(yet the whole story is underway). That and the cheap stage prop of a
ship destroys the story for anyone with any nautical knowledge.

Yes Rob "Nautical Texture" was key to this story. Unlike you some
people who watch stories of a ships Captain and crew like a bit of
"Nautical Texture" in that type of story. I know for a director and
Captain of your quality it's a small detail that you would easily
overlook.

The Sea Wolf "prop" was a huge undertaking, built both for realism,
mood and functional interplay for specific camera work. I recall
reading that it took 70 or 80 people to build her. Curtiz chose to
make the Ghost into a "Ghost ship" by making an unrealistic choice in
keeping crew off the decks and shots. For many scenes he wanted the
Ghost to appear this way. This is discussed in his bio, The Casablanca
man. Of course it was well noted at the time for it's unique moody
approach to the tale. Curtiz knew what he was doing and understood the
focus on the story. He was an artist first and foremost and didn't
worry about how many folks might be on watch when it might compromise
his vision. The Sea Wolf remains one of Curtiz most beloved films and
only a simp would be watching for nautical errors in what is
essentiall a filmed play. You probably saw the colorized version since
B&W is not how we see the world and that's also very unrealistic!
Again, have someone read the book to you.

It was the black and white version, first time I've seen it. Again
the story, and acting skills of Edward G. Robinson made it a 3 star
movie and worth the watch.

However had Curtiz not been a total lubber like you he could have told
the same story and made it much more to the liking of a true mariner
like Jack London.

Take Victor Fleming's Captains Courageous. Now there is a 4 star film
thats portrays mariners in a realistic way. Also a good lesson to
spoiled rotton brats like you and BB. You both could learn plenty from
studying Harvey Cheyne.

Yeah, I'm sure Curtiz was truly interested in making The Sea Wolf
nautically correct for London, who'd been dead for 25 years. I'm also
sure that other directors like Curtiz never take artistic licence for
the film medium. I also suppose that movies/Star Trek like Star Wars,
Alien and most Sci fi classics are also poor since they are innacurate
in their depiction of space travel.

Face it Rob, the movie, just like "through dead eyes" would have been
much better had the producer hired a decent director.

Oh and I'm so proud of you, you got to sail..Was it your first or
second time this year? You better race along on your long commute and
get all the sailing in while you can...3 mo and you will have to pull
Suzy's boat so it can hogg on the stands for 9 mo. of the year.

Glad you took the time to view the pictures..to bad the dead kids are
not as good as your kid and not worty of American help since Saddam

He could have done a much better job with the Sea Wolf.
But for the average lubber like you, I guess it will be seen as a

What you call artistic view is about the same thing they did with the
Perfect Storm. In trying to create an artistic mood they made the crew
and Skipper of the Andrea Dora look like a boat load of retards....but
the lubbers ate it up.

Curtiz pushed it further, but even in the book, "Unlike other ships,

Good bubbles...name one 100+ft 3 masted clipper ship that can sail
with just one man at the wheel.. If I need my imigination to streach
that far then I might as well be watching a movie about a Captain
sailing a ship through the desert with sawsquach at the wheel.

The point you seem to miss is that Curtiz screwed the pooch with the
prop and all aspects of seamanship. Again I understand just how easy

Ghost.
BTW, the shark shown attacking Cooky was too small to take his leg
off. And quite soon afterwards he's shown just fine with the leg tied
off at the stump. Such a traumatic amputation would not be so simple
to treat. He'd likely have died or at least required a long time to
recover.

That depends, if you judge the size by the fake dorsal fin breaking
the surface then it looks big enough, if you take the two second shot
of a real shark then you are correct

And quite soon afterwards he's shown just fine with the leg tied
off at the stump. Such a traumatic amputation would not be so simple

Yeah, and the Doc's blood tranfusion started by cookie's knife wound
was kinda funny, unless she was going to drink the blood.

But you're worried about who's at the wheel!!!


No... I'm wondering who's tending the sails...no-one.....ever.

Any scenes in Captain's Coragious with one guy at the wheel/tiller?

Yes and two at times, and a working crew, since they used real ships
Curtiz's Artsey fartsey version would not work.

reviewed at the time and remains the best adaptation of the book to

one as ever commented in any review on the lack of reality for sailing

Please...Rob..no wonder "through Dead Eyes" flopped. You need to
have a critical eye and look for glaring errors, not just the good
acting. Again I liked the film....but it could have been much
better..EG Robinson carried and made the film IMO.

Did you not feel cheated that we did not get to see the battle
between Wolf's and his brothers ship? And Larson's headaches..WTF? I
guess since no one could take out Wolf god had to do it.. I would have
rather seen him fighting to the end with Garfield or his brother, but
it's clear they did not have any prop builders worth their salt....
making a scene like that impossable.

That said..still beats 99% of the crap you see on TV and the movies..
If you haven't seen it then it is indeed a must see.

To bad they did not get John Wayne to play Larson and Rear Admiral
John Ford to direct. Then it would have been and Epic film.

but sail Tomahawk..ie T/T RedCloud almost every day.

Sure you do. And we don't blame you. Nobody wants to sail a slow and
heavy steel houseboat.

If I had a boat with
big lambrogini type gull wing windows I'd be embarrased too.

You mean like a Swan?


No.... like a 35s5

Death Trap? Since my commute is 40ft, and I drive less in a week than
you do driving one way to your boat,


Your car is not safe. Period. Drive it around the corner and you're
no less likely to get in a crash. In fact close to home is where most
accidents happen.
Sorry, Joe. No one's buying that your happy with your miserable old
boat and car. I'm looking out my window and looking at three of my
cars, all less than 15 months old...the practical Sedona van with it's
7 channel theatre system, the ultra comfy AWD Tribeca and the brand
new LGT which is capable of 0-60 in under 5.3 seconds. Enjoy your
rusting heap! And the car too!!!


BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
