Captain Jack Aubrey and his crew of able men sail the seas in defense of the name of the British Empire during the Napoleonic Wars. A French captain is on their tail with his advantageous new ship but Captain Jack Aubrey is a real sea wolf...
Notable director Peter Weir presents a really fascinating film about seamanship and comradeship. Picturesquely set in the Napoleonic Wars (after all it is taken from Patrick O'Brian's books), Master and Commander combines the qualities of an epic film and the thrilling adventure that all sea films include. Neat work on the costumes and historical representation make the art of seamanship and the qualities of manhood appear more vivid than ever. A must for any sea lover and naval battle enthusiast.
Russel Crow is the brave and fearless Captain Jack Aubrey and I must add that this part suits him the most. Crowe seems to fit right in this part and convince fully as the sea battle master that just won't back down. Amazing Paul Bettany is his best friend and co-fighter doctor from whom Aubrey gets reminded of his humanity. James D'Arcy, Edward Woodall, Max Pirkis and Billy Boyd as well as many others fill the sets for the rest of the crew!
Must watch this : if you are a sailor, watch this on your yacht with a glass of Scotch whiskey. If you are a simple man, go fishing in the morning, cook what you catch (or what you bought to lie about what you caught) and enjoy this film with your fish dish and ouzo.
