    commercial film

    Captain Jack played by Russell Crowe is really superb, with a general momentum, no sense of disobedience, but unfortunately it was not nominated for the Oscar that year, and Battle for the Furious was a commercial giant that was favored by the Oscars. The best historical naval battle film I've ever...

    A great example of filler content

    It's just bad. I only like that sea station, which is the most pursued in the night, and it is also the best scene in the movie. In the whole movie, the sense of patchwork is obvious, and the content is a little empty. I feel that this clue of the sea station can't support the whole movie at all,...

    Intense battles, delicate emotions.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World quotes

  • Dr. Stephen Maturin: Jack, I fear you have burdened me with a debt I can never fully repay.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Tosh! Name a shrub after me. Something prickly and hard to eradicate.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: A shrub? Nonsense! I shall name a great tortoise after you: Testudo Aubreii!

  • Dr. Stephen Maturin: They're exhausted. These men are exhausted. You've pushed them too hard.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Stephen, I invite you to this cabin as my friend. Not to criticise nor to comment on my command.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Well, shall I leave you until you're in a more harmonious frame of mind.

    [he stands and is about to leave]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: What would you have me do, Stephen?

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: [turns back to him and knows what to say] Tip the ship's grog over the side.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Stop their grog?

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Nagle was drunk when he insulted Hollom. Did you know that?

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Stop 30 years of privilege and tradition. I'd rather have them three sheets to the wind than face a mutiny.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: You see I'm rather understanding of mutinies. Men pressed from their homes, confined for months aboard a wooden prison...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I respect your right to disagree with me, but I can only afford one rebel on this ship. I hate it when you talk of the service in this way. It makes me feel so very low. You think I want to flog Nagle? A man who hacked the ropes that sent his mate to his death? Under MY orders? Do you not see? The only things that keep this wooden world together are hard work...

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Jack, the man failed to salute. There's hierarchies even in nature. There is no disdain in nature. There is no...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Men must be governed! Often not wisely, but governed nonetheless.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: That's the excuse of every tyrant in history, from Nero to Bonaparte. I, for one, am opposed to authority. It is an egg of misery and opression.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: You've come to the wrong shop for anarchy, brother.
