Go be an adventurous navigator

Sailing is a man's eternal romantic feelings.

Some people say that this is one of the ten must-see movies for men. Yes, this is a pure male tough movie, without the slightest emotional line, but it contains too much love and sex.

The real master of storytelling is the master of describing "people".

Therefore, in this "people on the same boat", the characters are distinct and collide fiercely, and various images are dazzling.

The respected captain known as "Lucky Jack" is questioned over strategic issues. In order to stop Napoleon's "Hell" who was about to go to war in the South Pacific, despite everyone's opposition, he insisted on pursuing it despite the disparity in strength and heavy casualties.

In a naval battle, in the face of capsize, he cut off the broken mast rope and abandoned a crew member who fell into the sea.

The cowardly captain apprentice was a man who did not even dare to raise the alarm when he saw the enemy situation. Because of the whispers of the sailors, he was convinced that he was cursed, and finally could not bear it all and threw himself into the sea.

It can be seen that once people are addicted to their own weakness, they will become weak blindly, and will fall on the street, on the ground, and in a place lower than the dust in the eyes of everyone.

What's even more terrifying is that the three become tigers, people's words are terrifying, and they kill people.

Darkness will grow everywhere, and no matter how powerful people stand up to defend us, they are not as strong as our own. Only when you are strong can you dare to face all challenges, pursue stronger enemies, and have the credibility that everyone supports.

None of us are strong, but we must be brave. Because that is what we will eventually face, it is unavoidable, and it is what we will defend to the death. Possession and gain sometimes require more courage than loss.

There is still a lot of warmth and perseverance. The little boy with the broken arm was lying on the hospital bed quietly reading the book the captain gave him.

The kind and benevolent doctor who said "I'm fine" after being accidentally shot by a seagull hunter operated on himself and took out the magazine.

In addition, the film also contains a lot of management, employing people and nature.

Of course, the most touching thing is the great revolutionary friendship. The captain docked the ship for the injured doctor. The war was won, and the dead sailors were thrown into the sea with their flags on

If you meet a confidant, put your liver and gallbladder on. The friendship between gentlemen is wider than the ocean and eternal than the tide. Plain as water, not yet vain.

Ps: I accidentally discovered that the episode - a lingering and serene cello song - is the prelude to Xue Zhiqian's "Accident".

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World quotes

  • Joseph Nagle, Carpenter's Mate: Captain's not called Lucky Jack for no reason.

  • Calamy, Midshipman: Sir?

    [everyone looks to Calamy as he addresses Aubrey]

    Calamy, Midshipman: Excuse me, sir, but Mr. Blankeney said that you served under Lord Nelson at the Nile.

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Indeed. I was a young lieutenant, not much older than you are now. And Mr.Pullings... Mr.Pullings was a snivelling midshipman,

    [Pullings laughs and smiles]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: still yearning for hearth and home.

    Calamy, Midshipman: Did you meet him, sir? Can you tell me what he was like?

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I have had the honour of dining with him twice. He spoke to me on both occasions. A master tactician and a man of singular vision.

    1st Lt. Tom Pullings: Right. He always said in battle... "Never mind the manoeuvres, just go straight at 'em."

    Mr. Allen, Master: Some would say not a great seamen, but a great leader.

    Capt. Howard, Royal Marines: He's England's only hope if old Boney intends to invade.

    Mr. Allen, Master: Sir, might we press you for an anecdote?

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: The first time he spoke to me... I shall never forget his words. I remember it like it was yesterday. He leaned across the table, he looked me straight in the eye, and he said "Aubrey... may I trouble you for the salt?"

    [the other men roar in laughter, Aubrey tries to contain himself]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I've always tried to say it exactly as he did ever since.

    [his mood changes]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: The second time... The second time he told me a story... about how someone offered him a boat cloak on a cold night. And he said no, he didn't need it. That he was quite warm. His zeal for his king and country kept him warm.

    [Maturin sighs]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: I know it sounds absurb, and were it from another man, you'd cry out "Oh, what pitiful stuff" and dismiss it as mere enthusiasm. But with Nelson... you felt your heart glow.

    [him and Calamy share a smile]

    Capt. Jack Aubrey: Wouldn't you say, Mr.Pullings?

    1st Lt. Tom Pullings: [sincerely] You did indeed, sir.
