WHITE-JACKET – A Man at War – A Filmscript 6. The Secret Melville

   (1 review)

1845. In the spring Redburn leaves Peru for New York on a warship. He has nothing, and feels like a failure. Worst of all is the loss he leaves behind him in the Pacific – his husband is dead, and Toby is lost and presumably long buried. What awaits him in the fall when he arrives back 'home,' to a place he has not been for four years? There he must consider what his brother wants for him, against how Redburn might honor the noblest sacrifices of the men who love him have made.

This story is worth every moment one spends in reading. I found it a wonderful lens turned on a world many of us have forgotten existed.
