Play elegant

A ship is an independent kingdom, and the captain is the king. He wants to care for his people and encourage them to fight. The most important thing is the captain's decision, which represents the life and glory of a boatman.

The naval battles of the 19th century had not given up on the docking station. That era belonged to the heroes of the sea, which belonged to courage and cunning.

This film is full of energy. Two battleships are chasing and fighting on the vast ocean. It requires courage, wisdom, and trust between people.

What deserves praise is the soundtrack of this film. The film makes good use of classical music, which not only conforms to the background of that era, but also reflects people's hearts on the battlefield filled with gunpowder. The captain and the doctor are close friends, and they are expressed in the form of "confidantes", as if they are also playing this game abroad. Now there is an ensemble for "Red Cliff", but I don't think the ensemble of this film is harmonious and warm. Also, when the doctor went to the island to collect specimens, the soundtrack was Baja's cello. Although there was no ensemble of the two, it made people understand the friendship between the two of them with very different personalities.

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.
