It may favor spectacle in place of the deeper themes in Herman Melville's novel...
Hi
Could you please help me with the underlined part? What does the phrase "favor spectacle" mean? Thanks.
The film has an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus that "It may favor spectacle in place of the deeper themes in Herman Melville's novel, but John Huston's Moby Dick still makes for a grand movie adventure."
