Download Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
(action, adventure, drama, history, war)
During the Napoleonic Wars, a British frigate, HMS Surprise, and a much larger French warship, the Acheron, with greater fire power, stalk each other off of the coast of South America. Russell Crowe brings great intensity to the role of Captain Jack Aubrey. Lucky Jack, as he is referred to by his crew, is well regarded by his men, who trust him implicitly, even after the first devastating battle and an apparent personal vendetta against the French captain. While the naval battle sequences are quite fantastic, the film is successful because director Weir chose to build the story to get to know the men who are locked aboard the tight quarters of a small ship and how they interact everyday. The officers and the mates are well-known by the time the final battle comes. Paul Bettany offers a strong performance as the surgeon and naturalist who balances the violence of his chosen life with the quiet demeanor of the scientist. He is the captain's friend and confidant, the two frequently playing violin and cello duets together. The horrors of the injuries from the war are frequently implied, but vividly depicted in the reactions of the characters.

My summary is quoting a scene where the captain (Crowe) makes a joke to
expense of his good friend and doctor (Bettany). It is indicative of the fine
humor sprinkled in a film otherwise serious.
Many commentors said this movie is dull or boring. It must have wanted
event-driven, action-oriented film, that this is not. There are really only two
rather brief scenes of battle. On the contrary, this is a
character-driven movie. The approach that the captain has to his mission,
that extends beyond their orders, to try to do its part to thwart the French
power play in the waters near Brazil in 1805. His good friend, the doctor,
wishing to study insects, birds, reptiles and other creatures on the coast
strange land, including the Galapagos, but is disappointed by demand
of the mission. The boys who grow up to the letter on the ship
to become effective military leaders. The claustrophobic conditions aboard the vessel,
enduring rough seas that almost destroyed their temporary home, or the lack of rain
that makes them wonder whether they will die of thirst.
generally a fine film. The critic Ebert has a good and thorough review. The
DVD is good, with a very good image and both DTS and Dolby sound, but not
extras related to the film.
Master and Commander success not so much on the fact that there is an exceptional
plot, but in the fact that the viewer brings along his journey
exceptional. It follows the journey of Captain "Lucky Jack Aubrey
sailing by the English rule, while being chased by a French
ship during the Napoleonic wars. There is a completely innovative or
original plot, but the experience rather than the plot that drives
this movie. The chemistry between the characters and strong performances by all
is what makes it an exceptional film. Instead of casting
handsome Hollywood types as crew members, was Peter Weir
after that people seem credible seamen who are also great players
in their own right. The cast even had a sort of boot camp for training
that everyone knows how to make the function of the vessel. Is this
attention to detail that makes the film so enjoyable and credible. Rather than engage
himself and the Hollywood moral melodrama based on cliches, this movie does not strip
blows on how they perceive the operation of a
British naval vessel to operate in the first Century 19. Simply
bleeds authenticity to every corner. Excellent performance
Crowe and your doctor right-man played by Paul Bettany
only add to the excitement.
The film also has a great original and it does not originals Result
is perfectly aware. The interaction between members of ships
is what makes it a success. Despite 2 hours may seem a long time to spend with a
-male cast inside a ship once they were never bored. Instead,
you really feel like you are in the boat with them and end
you feel as if they wanted to follow Russell Crowe "Captain Jack"
virtually anywhere that would result.
