Sadly, it came arguably at the worst time possible. LOTR: Return of the King came out the same year which swallowed up most of the awards that year and Pirates of Caribbean :Curse of the Black Pearl came out filling the entertainment that people wanted in sailing films. It sucks cause this film is definitely a masterpiece
if they release it a year later they have a big chance of winning the best picture too bad they bumped into a legendary masterpiece named return of the king
Still one of my favourite films of all time. Perfect cast, perfect plot (they’re not saving the world it’s just a battle of wits with a crew just like theirs) and authentic drama. It’s sad they never made more but in some ways that makes it all the more perfect.
Imagine a Prequel/Reboot show on Disney+ with a gender/race swapped main lead, reimagined for a "modern audience" that bombs, and creator Anita Snarkeezian blames "Toxic,white fans of the original". You can see it too don't lie😂
Rocket Man A good film series to watch is Hornblower. Granted the quality tails off slightly in the 7th/8th with a plot twist (IMO a terrible one) but the first 4 at least are fantastic
The Duellists by Ridley Scott in his directoral debut in 1977 could be to your liking. Set in France during the Napoleonic Wars it’s plot, cinematography, costumes, sets, script and acting are superb imo.
Jack and Steven's friendship throughout the movie really helps drive the story. They're so different in their personal skills and interests, yet both have a such a great understanding of each other. It's brothers from different mothers...and what's great is Steven's pursuit of naturalist research on Galápagos eventually leads to Jack's inspiration on cracking the Acheron. Great plot turn, and a nice cheeky ending. What happened when Surprise caught up to Captain Pullings? ha ha ha, we'll never know.
I remember watching master & commander when I was quite young thinking this is the most long drawn out thing ever, about 10 years later I gave it another go and wondered what my teenage brain was thinking. It's the most beautiful movie ever. Soundtrack, acting and beautifully shot. Funny how the mind sees things differently with age
i watched this movie 3 times on a plane from Germany to America Texas bc it was so good. I was 12 at that time and that was an 13 hour flight i think :D
I saw this movie when it came out in 2003. My dad's friend came over and he wanted us to go to the movies. I picked this movie and it has been with me ever since, they loved it, and so did I. I was 15.
I've heard people say they never read a book twice. But I've found the same thing to be true. As I've grown older (and wiser, I hope) I get a different message from the same book. Thank you for sharing this.
What’s also impressive is that’s actually Russell Crowe playing the violin, not just someone else’s playing dubbed over top. When the film was made he insisted that he do the scenes for real, just like he does most of his own stunts. Truly a man of many talents.
I think not. Those 2 shots are from separate angles (hitting the stand and then cutting to the reaction) and appear to be taken at different times (notice the position of the instruments before and after the cut), rather than coverage with multiple cameras of the same moment in time (not usual for big-budget features, rather than multiple cameras on more inexpensive television films). This is done to make sure that each principle actor has the best lighting possible in both angles, rather than trying to light both men at the same time (which is typically only done for master shots).
The French captain was the first one who's been had by Jack 's surprise ambush anyway. So I think the captain disguising himself is meant as payback for Jack disguising his ship to trick him, so it kinda makes it even for both of them, and it may also give the French captain a chance to re- take his ship. I think this scene makes the rivalry between the two captains more epic. Since both persons have the same degree of ingeniousness when it comes to naval seamanship and slyness, Maturin even acknowledge this when he says " he fights like you Jack". The rivalry between the two is one of the best I've seen in any film so far.
@@napoleonthegreat6024 after the French captain lost the ship battle, he disguised himself as the french doctor, and dressed a corpse in captain's clothes to show Jack when he searched the infirmary for the enemy captain. It was only after Jack handed command of the captured French ship to his 1st mate and set sail, that he found out that the real doctor's been dead for months. And the French captain is alive and hiding among the crew, ready to spark a mutinee anytime.
I love how they switch their musical styles showing how much they’ve learned from each other. Expressing both the conventional and reverent style of music alongside a more “plucky” and creative one
This piece (Boccherini Op. 30 No. 6) is originally written for strumming the instruments. It's originally written for a quintet but they've adapted it for a duet for this scene. I think the strumming is an allusion to Spanish music, consciously attempting to mimic guitars which were an almost exclusively Spanish instrument at the time. I'm guessing they chose to close on this because (a) Aubrey often refers to Boccherini as his favourite composer and (b) it's fittingly jolly and upbeat somehow.
So funny thing, Crowe and Bettany actually learned the instruments and song for this movie, that is Crowe's personal violin he is playing in this scene. If you listen closely right before the cello comes in, you can hear Bettany softly plucking to find the correct note right before his cue. The only reason the strumming continues after Crowe stops is because they had to dub in another audio of the 2 playing before they cut to the external shot of the ship changing course to intercept. A shot which also funny enough, truly does show the Surprise turning to port to intercept the Acheron, which is still visible on the horizon.
@@tylerodonnell-paccione7523 I’m sure they did actually know how to play those instruments, if only to make the playing look more realistic, but I think that they also replaced the on-set audio because it didn’t sound good enough. If they really just needed to cut to the external shot, they still could’ve kept the on-set audio.
@@tylerodonnell-paccione7523 In an interview Bettany said he and Crowe learned their instruments just well enough to look convincing on film: "Our fingers are in the right place, and our bowing is good, but you wouldn’t want to hear the sound we were making. You could follow the tune, but it sounds a lot more like you’re trying to climb inside a squirrel than I think Mozart had intended."
0:360:440:49 There was not a bad performance in this movie, and every character no matter how small the part was perfectly cast, right down to how they looked. This 10-second exchange cracks me up.
They were hunting the Acheron and in the first 2 encounters, they were soundly beaten then chased by the Acheron until they managed to turn the table. One of the best movie I have ever watched.
@@bovellois I wouldn't say that. No doubt that _Das Boot_ is a fantastic film, but it's hardly a cliffhanger/open-ended ending. The ship sank and many of the officers, including the captain, are dead. It seemed pretty conclusive to me.
Honestly, I don’t think it really is a cliff hanger. Even if the crew of the Acheron did overthrow Pullings and retake the ship, Surprise would still catch up and finish them off. Especially since Acheron is still in sight in the final shot anyway, and undermanned. The real cliff hanger is, will Steven ever catch the bird?
@@harryrobinson2901 Agree. The Acheron's captain was still likely in hiding, and the men were not yet organized and probably locked up. Also the Surprise could signal their message once their pursuit was noticed.
They clearly played a recording for this piece, but Russell Crowe really did learn the violin for this movie. He worked with an instructor every day for three months. He even bought a 19th-century instrument when the film didn't have the budget.
One of the key ways I judge a movie by how many times I can watch it and still enjoy it. I have yet to get tired of watching this wonderful movie and wonderful performances by all. I can't find a flaw in it except that they didn't do the sequel. Yet.
Just for our discovery alone of Boccherini already makes this movie great. And, the fact that it's also a great film makes this a timeless masterpiece.
I understand the absurd love part, I don't share the same dreaming about being a sailor on that times, it was more than tough life... well, as you can watch wonderfully portraited in the movie
would be the open seas with the sun on your face that would engage these dreams... reality is starkly different, especially in those times, look up scurvy, also life in general in those times would be hard
@@hallerd that is one of the greatest risks we take as humans. Great leaps and bounds to expand and explore. If it wasn’t for my French ancestors exploring the mysterious New World and establishing my family here in the US. I wouldn’t be alive and sharing such a beautifully crafted movie with you. Those great risks are what drives humanity onward.
My big brother brought me to see this in the theater. So worth it! They didn’t show the very end of this scene where you see the ship sailing along from above while you hear the music still playing. Oh what could we do without internet and cellphones, without radios or CD players? We’d play finely crafted wooden instruments on finely crafted wooden boats.
This is one of the GREATEST movies ever made, make no mistake! The cast is superb - the acting is as solid as the oak timbers that make up the ship. The camerawork, sound design, historical accuracy and plot really make this movie. Such a terrible shame it released alongside LoTR, and that Disney splurged all of its money into the Pirates of the Caribbean series instead. This movie didn't get the return it absolutely deserves, I hope someday the wrong can be put right and a second movie be produced - though without the same dedicated team, it could pale in comparison.
One of the things I like about this scene are the expressions on the face of the oficer, Mr. Mowett. Is arrives at the cabin with a big smile and in happy, relaxed spirits, probably already antecipating the good time he«'s going to have at the Galapagos... and then the Captain orders "Change of course! We'll intercept and escort the Acheronto Valparaiso!" The change of expression to one of surprise and disapointed, as he swallows the news, and then to aneutral face fo "well, orders are orders", is excelent. Great acting!
My favourite thing about this ending, besides the music and the humour between the two friends, is that they use the footage of the crew beating to quarters from the beginning of the film, which makes sense because they are a well disciplined and drilled crew so would likely perform pretty much every action in the same way each time. At 1:45 they cut just as Robert Pugh i.e. Mr Allen is about to come on deck so as not to show his face since he died in the battle.
Despite this "open" ending, it's still enough of a closure to ensure the end of the story. A continuation is not much needed. With that said, I still very much wish they had done a continuation.
Oh, shut up. Movies have been used to portray themes since at least Birth of a Nation, and literature to portray theme since at least the time of the ancient Greeks. The difference is that now there has begun to be a diversity in themes, demonstrating that maybe the white male isn't always the one whose opinion matters. This is a good thing, not a bad thing.
@@roguishpaladin Yeah, the white male as exemplified by Russell Crowe vs. the French Captain: "He's done that twice to me. There won't be a third time".......
Did a tour of Nelsons HMS Victory. The most majestic thing I've ever seen. You can feel what life must have been like aboard a ship of the line in the Royal Navy.
Fantástica pieza del maestro Boccherini!!! Se titula “Musica nocturna de las calles de Madrid” y dejo por escrito que era una pieza imposible de interpretar ni de entender fuera de España por representar la particular alegria nocturna de las calles de Madrid! Yo sin embargo creo que, muy al contrario, nos regalo el reflejo de esa alegria para la inmortalidad! Aunque sea tocada en la cubierta de un barco inglés! 😄😉
His rousing speech ,...how he bigs up the Marines effortlessly when he asks their sharpshooters to scan the decks......Praise with a clear instruction!......Brilliant!!!!
For those who are interested in what it was like to sail such a vessel, while the "HMS" Rose (that was the Surprise in this movie) is no longer a Sailing School Vessel (SSV), there is the Oliver Hazard Perry and other tall ships that you can sail on.
After this movie, Paul Bettany believed his career was over and was only saved because he got a phone call to be the voice of Jarvis in Ironman. This movie is wonderful
This is inaccurate. He had his first lead performance in Wimbledon, where he met Jon Favreau, after this film. Later, Favreau asked him to play the voice of JARVIS. While he was voicing JARVIS a big time Hollywood producer told him to his face that his career was over, and he went outside and sat on the curb. Then Joss Whedon called and asked him if he wanted to play Vision.
@@TomVCunningham What producer?.....for what film?......even without Vision he would have work. I think the issue was him thinking he was a leading man. Supporting roles are better for him Margin Call, Journey's End........
I love the little eye twitch that Jack does when he realizes that they'd been had and they move on for Valparaiso and then he and Stephen resume their duet. "Well, Stephen, the bird's flightless? It's not going anywhere." Classic Aubrey line there. In my head canon, they reach Valparaiso as the Acheron is undergoing refit and Pullings is sitting in the sun, issuing orders and he sees the Captain and the Doctor arrive and he splutters with surprise and then he's able to speak coherently and asks what's going on and Stephen and the Captain initially talk over each other, but they stop themselves and the Captain takes over and talks about how the Captain of the French ship tricked them and Pullings is very surprised.
I like how Aubrey is more considerate towards Stephens feelings about not going back to the Galapagos. Whereas before he argued with him and put him down, now he gives him an unspoken promise to return there after they’ve dealt with the Acheron.
This was supposed to be a series but it underperformed at the box office.
It's a masterpiece.
Judging by current rumours it still may be

Se titula “Musica nocturna de las calles de Madrid” y dejo por escrito que era una pieza imposible de interpretar ni de entender fuera de España por representar la particular alegria nocturna de las calles de Madrid! Yo sin embargo creo que, muy al contrario, nos regalo el reflejo de esa alegria para la inmortalidad! Aunque sea tocada en la cubierta de un barco inglés! 😄😉
His rousing speech ,...how he bigs up the Marines effortlessly when he asks their sharpshooters to scan the decks......Praise with a clear instruction!......Brilliant!!!!
One of my favourite historical movies. Makes me proud of my ancestors and country men.
An absolute masterpiece of a movie.
For those who are interested in what it was like to sail such a vessel, while the "HMS" Rose (that was the Surprise in this movie) is no longer a Sailing School Vessel (SSV), there is the Oliver Hazard Perry and other tall ships that you can sail on.
God this movie is amazing. Just watched it again a couple nights ago for what must’ve been the twentieth time at least
Russell Crowe & Paul Bentany. I love them both.
my favorite movie of all time
There are very few movies like this one. It's almost perfect.
Such a good movie and kick tunes🙌
After this movie, Paul Bettany believed his career was over and was only saved because he got a phone call to be the voice of Jarvis in Ironman. This movie is wonderful
Yeh but he was still married to Jennifer Connelly so I wouldn't be that downtrodden
This is inaccurate. He had his first lead performance in Wimbledon, where he met Jon Favreau, after this film. Later, Favreau asked him to play the voice of JARVIS. While he was voicing JARVIS a big time Hollywood producer told him to his face that his career was over, and he went outside and sat on the curb. Then Joss Whedon called and asked him if he wanted to play Vision.
@Derp Derp what?
@@TomVCunningham What producer?.....for what film?......even without Vision he would have work. I think the issue was him thinking he was a leading man. Supporting roles are better for him Margin Call, Journey's End........
@@TomVCunninghamand thank god he did. He is Vision, no one else can play him now. I would be so angry if he was replaced down the line
You’ve got to love Mowett, he’s the dutiful loyal officer on a ship. He would probably make captain someday.
I'm already nostalgic about this film
Great movie. One of the best period dramas I've seen.
I love the little eye twitch that Jack does when he realizes that they'd been had and they move on for Valparaiso and then he and Stephen resume their duet. "Well, Stephen, the bird's flightless? It's not going anywhere." Classic Aubrey line there. In my head canon, they reach Valparaiso as the Acheron is undergoing refit and Pullings is sitting in the sun, issuing orders and he sees the Captain and the Doctor arrive and he splutters with surprise and then he's able to speak coherently and asks what's going on and Stephen and the Captain initially talk over each other, but they stop themselves and the Captain takes over and talks about how the Captain of the French ship tricked them and Pullings is very surprised.
One of the best movies of the last few decades…
Aubrey's little eye twitch!🤣
"and william", "sir" "beat to quarters"....
What a beautiful ending. What a beautiful film.
This piece always makes me happy whenever I hear it. I have the soundtrack CD also.
In many ways the best part of this film is their friendship
I love that last musical piece!!
A wonderful end to a practically flawless movie.
Great moment! I love it.
"Si vis pacem, para bellum" - "If you wish for peace, prepare for war." Motto of the Royal Navy, I believe.
Further prood that the cello is, objectively, the true Patrician's instrument.
one of the best movies of all time
My favourite ending to a film.
Let’s hear it for Lucky Jack
The birds flightless, not going anywhere 😂
I like how Aubrey is more considerate towards Stephens feelings about not going back to the Galapagos. Whereas before he argued with him and put him down, now he gives him an unspoken promise to return there after they’ve dealt with the Acheron.
Man what a mountain of a movie. Introduced my kids to it last weekend. They were highly entertained.
exellent acting, you just got to love that aussie crowe
Such a underated Film.
This movie really catches the nepoleonic-era/early 1800s perfectly
Ahhh yes, brings back fond memories...
You really had to be there.
simple love this, the movie and the music..
What a splendid clip this is!
It always make me smile that Russel spent time to learn how to play that perfectly
The finishing playing La Musica noturna delle strade de Madrid, from Bocherini. I love the way they play it or simulate to do it
