Cire Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hmm... lets see.. the word pirate (or rather pirates) crops up in it twice.... but the Acheron is a privateer... however, since it be more about the Suprise and her crew, its not really a pirate movie, is it? However, since you brought it up... its a bloody good movie based on a bloody good series of books. O' course, the blood thirsty part of me prefers Hollom's demise in the books..... Because the world does revolve around me, and the universe is geocentric.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_MacNamara Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 How DID he go in the books? Out of curiosity... I've only seen the movie. Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Maria Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 ....the movie "Master and Commander" in here?I thought it was pretty good, even though I despise Russel Crowe. There was a whole thread on here some months ago. It was even revived when the DVD came out. It just went away is all. It was a great movie! Russell Crowe is a fine actor but a lousy human being.

Cire Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Okies, if anyone doesn't want spoilers into the Far Side of the World (the book) stop reading now. Well you see... Hollom was having an affair with the gunner's wife, who was aboard ship. The Suprise stops off at a small island to careen the ship and the like, and just as they are about to leave, they find that the gunner, his wife, and Hollom are not aboard. So they call out fer em, and only the gunner returns. Claims Hollom and his wife have decided to stay on the island together... but he came back bloody. It is only inferred, but he had killed em both on the island. Because the world does revolve around me, and the universe is geocentric.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_MacNamara Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Nice.... Although, if'n you think about it... If they'd 'ave added the part into the movie about Hollum and the Gunner's wife, and their affair... It would have made sense that "god was punishing" the ship jonah-like for Hollum & the lady's sin. Just a thought... Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cire Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well, Jack thought that Hollom had a Jonah look about him before he let him come aboard as midshipmen. It be interesting.. but i think there were considered two Jonahs aboard. One was Hollom, the other was Higgins, the surgeon's mate. the gunner did away with him too, cos he "used an instrument" on his wife, because she had been pregnant with Hollom's child. Of course, being as it was in those days, she took ill from it. After killing the couple and Higgins, he hung himself. Because the world does revolve around me, and the universe is geocentric....
