Very majestic melody, the same as "Gladiator".

The film is very good, from the director to the screenwriter to the production to the actors, not much to say.

What made me sigh was that the two young officers on the warship, at the age of fourteen, five or sixteen, participated in real wars, stood in front of the soldiers, and took responsibility. The last one died in battle, and the other grew up.

It was in 1805, and 40 years later, it was the era of the Opium War. This young officer was in his fifties and was of a wise and mature age. He served in the British Navy as a captain or even a commander, commanding the British Navy Opium It is them who are at war.
With such a resume, he must be a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. It is not surprising that most of China's navy, army and court officials were backward, ignorant and incompetent.

The system determines the model of success, which is worth thinking and learning.

On the other hand, now, the national army does not fight all year round, and the US military is constantly fighting.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World quotes

  • Faster Doudle, Able Seaman: [as he examines the Galapagos through his telescope] I can't see any women. Just ducks and lizards.

    Nehemiah Slade, Able Seaman: [he snatches the telescope to see for himself] What, no women? It ain't natural.

  • Dr. Stephen Maturin: Jack, have you forgotten your promise?

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Subject to the requirements of the service. I cannot in all conscience delay for the sake of an iguana or giant peccary. Fascinating, no doubt, but of no immediate application.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: There is, I think, an opportunity here to serve both our purposes. As I understand it, this is a long, thin island. You need to sail around it to continue your voyage. I could walk across it. I'd be on the other side...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I have known you to spend hours staring into a deserted bird's nest.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: I could walk briskly, pausing only to take the most important measurements. Making valuable discoveries that could help advance our knowledge of natural history.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: If wind and tide had been against us, I should have said yes. They're not. I'm obliged to say no.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Oh, I see. I see. So, after all this time in your service, I must simply content myself to form part of this belligerent expedition. Hurry past inestimable wonders, bent solely on destruction. I shall say nothing of the corruption of power or its abuse...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: You forget yourself, Doctor.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: No, Jack. No. You've forgotten yourself. You see, for my part, I look upon a promise as binding.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: The promise was conditional.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: It never occurred to me...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I command a king's ship, not a private yacht! WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR DAMNED HOBBIES, SIR!
