It mainly tells the story of Jack's "Surprise" chasing and defeating the French privateer "Hell". The main line is the same, and what stands out is the portrayal of the group portraits. Needless to say, Jack is the soul of the whole play. Wisdom and bravery both have a big picture, emphasizing grace and strength, and good luck in both civil and martial arts. What more can you ask for in this leader? Stephen is not bad. He is an alternative on the boat. He is well-informed, obsessed with science and medical skills, and he is not afraid of pain. He is definitely a master scientist. In addition, several young officers also left a deep impression on people: some threw themselves into the sea because of rumors, some who broke their arms at a young age but did not change their minds, and some who bravely killed the enemy and died for the country. There are a total of 197 people on board, and there are more than a dozen people who can be named in the film. Most of them are flesh and blood with distinct personalities, which is not easy.
Although it is a war movie, the lighthearted and humorous style runs through it, which suits my taste very well. The film won a total of 10 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director, but at an untimely opportunity, it encountered the most successful "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (all 11 nominations won the prize), the result I can only seek consolation in the two that were not nominated (Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing).
