Have you ever sailed abroad on a wooden sailboat?

I personally think it is the best naval battle movie, because it is realistic and the props are in place. Friends, have you ever boarded a wooden sailboat and gone out to sea? Have you ever sailed a wooden sailboat? Do you know how difficult it is to sail a wooden sailboat across the ocean? 171 years ago, a 28-gunboat of the same level as the Surprise passed through the many reefs and rapids outside Zhushanmen, and the British marines landed at Zhushanmen. From Xiamen north to Zhushanmen, let alone wooden sailboats at that time, if there is no accurate chart to the meter, even the most modern warships will run aground on the rocks. At that time, it was 1841. The flow rate of the tide here was 7 knots. The difficulty can be imagined. So I don't think the film can exaggerate or overemphasize the captain's sailing skills and combat skills, because in fact they can do it.
A film like this should be watched by men, and it should be cruel. I salute the director and the actors, and salute the battleship.

    Galapagos Islands, "Discover two new species in two minutes!"...Human and nature have always been Will's themes, even in this work that focuses on naval battles and action. Ybert praised it as reminding people of David Lean, magnificent without losing human insight. Personally, I think of the other two: Old Ford's chivalrous tenderness and Scott's alien. The powerful enemy who is also the main driving force is currently degenerating into a big story background. The narrative mainly revolves around the character conflicts of various people inside the British ship, especially between the captain and the doctor. However, Will generally respects intellectuality. Even in this story of the raging sea killing that is obviously conducive to publicizing the captain’s character, he still does not want the doctor to be at a disadvantage. Abandoning pursuit and human nature, doctors are strong because of self-help, but the former is not as rich as the latter's shock, so the two sides are almost equal. But he has reservations about Will's use of another signature mysticism. Mystery should create an atmosphere like its Australian movie like picnic on a cliff, and it is not suitable for frequent use as a mere narrative drive in a film with distinctive features like the Angry Sea.
