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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
