	Old Man and The Sea
		In the novel The Old Man and the Sea, Ernest Hemingway uses the literary device of metaphors.
		The old man knew he was going far out...1(page 22) Hemingway feels that in life there are people who participate in life and people who observe life as it passes just like on the ocean where there are boats that do not test their boundaries.
		The old man is testing his limits, he is challenging the ocean, and rowing where he wants to go, not where the ocean wants to take him.

	The Old Man and the Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway, is a relatively simply written story about an old man, a boy whom he loves, and the path and journey that he follows and fights in order to try and catch the biggest fish that he has ever encountered, let alone hooked.
		The old man manages to wear down the fish and eventually kill it, however on his return trip home to his poor village and shanty, a myriad of sharks rise up to strip the man away of the prize that he worked so hard to bring home for himself.
		For instance, the intermittent cramping of the old man’s hand can be translated into a metaphorical sense to represent a slight aberration of a person’s physical ability, or the temporary malfunctioning of their mind or other vital ability that enables them to live at their utmost potential.

	Old Man and the Sea Book Notes Summary by Ernest Hemingway: Section 1 (pg. 9-28)
		During the first 40 days of his unlucky streak, he fished with a young boy named Manolin, who had been with the old man ever since he was five years old.
		Due to Santiago's bad luck, however, Manolin's parents told their son not to fish with the old man. They forced him to join up with a more lucrative boat, which ended up catching three good-sized fish in its first week.
		Santiago is a well-worn man. His face and body show the signs of aging, but inside he is young and alive: "Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated." Page 10

	DVD review of Old Man And The Sea, The - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Spencer Tracy was a tremendous actor, but he was as badly miscast as Hemingway's Cuban fisherman in the 1958 version of "The Old Man and the Sea" as John Wayne was as Genghis Khan ("The Conquerer," 1956).
		When the first version of "The Old Man and the Sea" was filmed in Cojimar, Hemingway even had a hand in arranging some of the boats and trying to hook big fish for the crew to film.
		But the size of the battle between the man and this great fish is greatly diminished by Taylor's insistence upon showing the writer waiting, like the wife of a sea captain, for the fisherman's return.

	NovelGuide: Old Man and the Sea: Theme Analysis
		The old man exemplifies Hemingway's ideal of exhibiting "grace under pressure," as he refuses to submit to the overwhelming obstacles presented by the sea.
		Yet, throughout the test of endurance between man and fish the old man begins to recognize a bond between he and the marlin, repeatedly referring to it as his brother; he elaborates, "Now we are joined together and have been since noon.
		The old man and the fish are both mere inhabitants among the diverse tropical life residing in the Gulf Stream, bonded by the fact that they are at the mercy of the sea.

		In fact The Old Man and the Sea revived Ernest Hemingway's career, which was foundering under the weight of such postwar stinkers as Across the River and into the Trees.
		Yet Santiago is too old and infirm to partake of the gun-toting machismo that disfigured much of the author's later work: "The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.
		Despite having hooked the Marlin, the old man remains in his boat trying to hold on to the fishing line and his mortality, while the Marlin perseveres in its attempt to escape death.

		In fact The Old Man and the Sea revived Ernest Hemingway's career, which was foundering under the weight of such post-war stinkers as Across the River and into the Trees.
		The story is elemental and primeval; it concerns man’s use of his ingenuity and grit to overcome animals and the elements.
		Santiago is a man toughened by the sea – his skin gnarled, his stomach empty and his nerves dulled to pain – and he is forced to draw on all his experience and endurance not to lose his fish.

		Of course, I am familiar with his persona, and the idea of the "Hemmingway man," and was well aware as his stature as one of the greatest writers of modern times.
		With "The Old Man and the Sea," it is so easy to see why Hemmingway was awarded the Nobel Prize, and why he deserves all of his accolades.
		Old Santiago goes out to fish, hoping to catch the "big one" (drawing on the innate male desire to always catch the best, biggest thing.."that must mean I'm macho, a real man!"), blah blah blah, can't catch anything, blah blah blah, and when he finally catches the big one, it is eaten by sharks.

	THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA: Style Assignments
		Hemingway might have written The Old Man and the Sea as a much longer novel, taking Santiago from his early childhood to his final dreams of the lions.
		Hemingway might also have written The Old Man and the Sea as a short story, concentrating on the struggle with the fish, with the sea, and with the sharks--and probably telescoping or omitting the scenes before and after the struggle.
		The old man is sometimes taken as a symbol of Christ on the Cross.

	The Old Man and The Sea: Hands Above The Rest?
		In 1997, 40 year old Alexander Petrov of Prechistoe, Russia struggled against a strange environment (Canada), a new and intimidating technology (IMAX), and with the use of his finger tips, transformed Hemingway's ode to masculinity from splashes of oil paint into a vibrant, coherent, fresco in motion.
		Petrov's daunting task of filling 70mm of celluloid and projecting those chemically composed sight and sounds onto a seven story screen was as much a challenge as the fictional old man's four day battle with the marlin.
		Of course unlike the old man, Petrov was not fighting for his humility and existence.

		The younger fishermen laugh at him, often openly mocking him, and only a young boy, Manolo (Alexis Cruz), still seems to respect the Old Man. On the 85th day, Santiago sets out for what he is sure will be his finest catch ever.
		The Old Man and the Sea is a 15-year-old film, shot for broadcast on television, probably not using top-of-the-line materials when it was made, so it definitely looks and sounds its age.
		The scenes at sea tend to be washed out, and backgrounds tend to smear when the focus is in the foreground.

		The next day, with Santiago nowhere to be found, Tom Pruitt starts asking questions about the old man and his life, Angela wonders if she'll ever see her father again, and Manolo wonders what his friend is doing out there in the vast ocean.
		Though not the thin and gaunt Santiago of the novella, Quinn projects not only the weariness of the old man after years of accomplishment and adventure, but also the pride of the same, and the strength of a man who's walked the walk.
		The struggle against the sea and the zen-like nature of his efforts as a fisherman define the man, and give him a mythic quality that's sorely damaged by mention of retirement and hanging out in a nice room in Havana reading papers and drinking brewskies.

		As his last novel written before his death, The Old Man and the Sea requires a proper understanding of the values and experiences of Hemingway in order to unlock the wealth of meaning a simple story of a Cuban fisherman, the open sea, and a gigantic fish.
		This theme is clearly established in The Old Man and the Sea.
		The Old Man and the Sea would be the last novel published in his lifetime.
