the Royaliste Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Nah my ex-boyo raved about it and we had very diffrent tastes Since it really isn't a matter of 'taste', but the simple fact that the nation is on a wave of producing very credible motion pictures depicting 'period' Great Age of Sail, including our friends at Disney, besides Fox, then just wot the particular 'Bloody Bloomin' 'eck' are you doing on this website??...After all, it is primarily about pirates, sailors, and ships. ....Nice pic, you should watch it at least 30 times, judging by your level of experience.

Bloody Charity Kidd Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Perhaps the series of books would be more to yer liking, bloody mary. But please - never judge a ship by the star of the movie!

Duchess Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 The books top my list of all time favorites. Patrick O'Brian had a way with words unequaled by any modern writer. An amazing ability to portray a character, faults, glories, feelings, motivations, everything. And not just one character but shipfulls of characters. Not to mention the man has a prodigious vocabulary. There are words that I needed an unabridged dictionary to look up! The movie while not at all true to the story line, is very true to the feeling and characters of the books. The Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Steele Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I absolutely LOVED that movie. It's pretty gosh darn accurate when it comes to sailing. (Even down to the accurate portrayal of the ships bells, 2, pause, 2, pause, 2, pause, 2) And it's a good tale too, you'll learn about the lesser of two "weevels". (Although the movie portrayal of a weevel I think is incorrect, I dont think it's a worm or a larva, I think its a beetle.) Is that picure of the French ship the Acheron, or the HMS Surprise? Crow does a fine job as a "Master and Commander" it's well worth the time to watch if only for a learning experience if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Cutter Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Nice pic, you should watch it at least 30 times, judging by your level of experience. I don't get to the theatre much, too many unruly kids in there, and by the time a movie gets to video I have forgotten about it. I may go rent it tomorrow since I'm recovering from having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled this afternoon. ARRR should have had em out when I was younger.

the Royaliste Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 The DVD is magnificent.........It be one us pirates particularly enjoy in harbour aboard ship on a nice evening. The 'Royaliste' throws in Her own share 'o creaks and groans, makin' the surround sound even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toe Cutter Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Is that picure of the French ship the Acheron, or the HMS Surprise It's the Surprise, in reality the HMS Rose, playing the part of the Surprise, or atleast thats what it said on the website where I got the pic.

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 The picture is of the Acheron, from the scene where they're towing the Suprise into the fog bank... the Acheron fires one last broadside before the Suprise loses them in the fog. I know the 'Rose' website says it's the CGI Rose, but that looks exactly like the scene I mentioned. Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.

Silver Steele Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 The flag does look red. I'm not sure what the French Flag looked like at that time, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Royaliste Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 The triolor is the Napoleonic French flag. Prior it was the 'semy-de-lys' of Louis.......White with gold fluer-de-lys spread across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarborMaster Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Awesome !! Yea I loved it., Its here in me desk drawer., and whats wrong with Russell Crowe I thought he did an excellant job. By the way I Rather be gettin looped in an easy chair watchin it on the Royaliste than sittin here watchin it !!! That would be the life no doubt ! Yea It was good.., I been lookin fora good deal on Mel Gibson in the Bounty as well., but really.., really what I wanna see is a re-enacted story about Ol' Iron Sides., Blastin the Guirrere and then the Hammering of Tripoli and the Barbary Coast !!! thar is a Great movie untold., in that ship!!!

Rumba Rue Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 I don't like Russell Crowe, but that didn't stop me from going to see the movie. It was very good and it gave a pretty darn good look at life at the time at sea. POTC it's not, but the movie itself depicts the reality while POTC depicts the fantasy. Having toured the HMS Rose/Surprise, I still remember touching the cannons and walking the decks and feeling the great admiration for such things. Every once in a while our local weathermen like to go down there with the ship in the background while giving reports on TV. Very nice indeed!
