They are bloody fantastic books, well worth a read through. Really excelllent as audiobooks read by Patrick Tull as well
Also want to add if you have never seen this movie make sure you watch it with a good audio setup, it'll blow you away. We need a 4K release with Dolby Atmos ASAP.
He definitely caresses the ship. I don't remember him looking at it lovingly.
Its a fantastic movie. Everyone is totally committed to their parts.
I needed the built in Kindle dictionary A LOT during the two books I read.
I do agree they are amazing books though and work the effort.
17 years is pretty modern, brah. Not even 2 decades. 21st century is just a reference.
Master and Commander is a great film.
And its an even better test for any kind of home theater/ surround sound setup. That first scene with the cannonballs blowing through the ship with a nice surround sound system is fantastic.

I was literally watching this a few days ago. Wonderful film. I enjoy Naval/High Sea Stories so maybe I was just pre-disposed but I sincerely enjoy the film.
same. I could have written that tweet. I literally used it as a sleeping aid for a not insignificant amount of time. shits boring as hell.

sound design is one of the most underrated aspects of moviemaking. really elevates a film
i read the blu-ray review many years ago gushing over this, and yet i never got around to watching it
hopefully soon

serious question. are their female or non-binary members of reset who like this movie or who praise it in the same way as guys?it's always felt like a bro movie especially since there's like no female characters.
I don't mean offend but literally everybody who i've heard praise this movie is a guy. would be down to hear a feminist take on the movie! would really be interesting

"Incredible camera work, but I will say that it was hard to feel empathy for someone without his backstory."
Master and Commander is a more entertaining film. And strangely moving. You would think a movie about a man who's family was murdered and his attempts to find his humanity again through revenge would be more emotional than iguanas and violins, but there it is.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I have seen bits and pieces of it and I found his death fairly moving, but I was more moved by the death of the poor ship boy.
I should also point out I'm a very emotional person who cries watching videos of dogs with only two or three legs, so I'm not a robot.
To this day I always forget that the dog wasn't named "Hell". When he said "on my word, unleash Hell" they literally unleash the dogs a few seconds later.
It wasn't until the memes got overwhelming that I realized he was talking about warfare and not the dogs.
I'd love to see Peter Weir do another film. He was on a film podcast in 2019 saying (in the last few minutes) he gets offered mostly TV projects but he'd prefer to do films.
As for Master and Commander, the film is brilliant, but the novels are even better. If the universe is taking requests: give me a HBO/Netflix series ASAP.

How the hell does anybody give up on a movie only 10 minutes in? That just comes off lazy. Not to mention, M&C is a masterpiece.
People directly tagging actors and artists to say they hate their work will never not be really weird to me.

so the guy who posted the original tweet just posted an unironic tribute to noted murderer phil spector

blu ray will have the best sound which this film relies a lot on and my preferred method. amazon is the easiest to get tho
It's really nice to see so many fans of M&C these days. Feels like its reputation just keeps on growing through the years.
This thread made me rewatch the movie, because of course! Magnificent from top to bottom as usual. There's such an understated beauty to its cinematography.

The Way Back was good too, but not on par with his previous two. Shame
Edit: Dammit, it's not on Prime in the UK, I need to re-watch it now after this thread.
If I didn't know it was a Weir film, I never would've guessed. A complete downgrade from his earlier output. Not that it was bad. Just meh-worthy lol
Brilliant movie, love everything about it. I worked on a DVD store, where we use to put some movies on as background, i saw this one so many times ahah.
