old movie rewatch

It was probably a movie I watched in junior high school, one of the Oscar-winning movies. I was obsessed with "Treasure Island" and the Age of Navigation. Naturally, I would not miss this movie. I was still young at the time, and it can be said that it was difficult to understand what the plot of the movie was about. What, just attracted by the atmosphere of the naval battle. From the current point of view, this is a very reliable naval battle film.
The captain is more or less the same as that of Captain Haya in Moby Dick who swears to chase after the beluga who broke his leg. I think it originated from being ambushed by a French ship in the fog at the beginning. The captain was very upset and vowed to defend his country to the death. The determination of interest was aroused, so desperately trying to get rid of the French privateer became the main line of development. There are several truths that are very good. The two powers are the lesser of harms. Even the navy must learn to disguise, and actively prepare for wars before fighting. Many exercises are the key to the final victory. When the command is improper and the morale is greatly reduced, it is easy to mutiny. The punishment of whipping is a common thing on the ships of the 18th century. The sea is always harsh. Sleeping in hammocks under the turbid deck, there are livestock stalls next to it, everyone is crowded in At the same time, there is no personal space at all (except for the captain and the doctor). The chances of being hit by flying wood chips during naval battles are very high, so there are many people who lack arms and legs.
What amazes me the most is the craftsmanship of the carpenters. The battered ship will look brand new in a few days, and the model of the enemy ship made by the sailor who has American relatives is really too detailed. It seems that there are still some at sea. A lot of free time, the ship in a bottle is the idle work of a certain German captain.
This film rekindled my interest in nautical subjects.

    The naval battle movie has already been shot by the Germans. No matter how you shoot it, it looks like the main theme. In fact, there are still a lot of fragmented highlights.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World quotes

  • [Stephen asks how long the Surprise will stay moored off the Galapagos]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Oh a week, perhaps.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: A week?

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: There's no great hurry.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Mustn't we make haste for...

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I'm not even sure it was the Acheron we sighted. And if it was, she'll be well away by now. Like looking for an honest man in parliament.

  • Blakeney: Sir, I think we should be getting back.

    Dr. Stephen Maturin: Naval discipline doesn't operate out here, Mr. Blakeney. I must find a cormorant. And should it indeed prove flightless, you can join me at the Royal Society dinner as codiscoverer.
