In war inaction is worse than bad decisions.

Hello, Sarah!
>>551919
I wasn't too happy when I heard that they cast Crowe as Aubrey, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well he pulled it off. Bettany was too handsome to be Maturin though, but he did alright too.
The only part in the whole movie that got me rolling my eyes was when during the final battle they assault the gun deck, and a 12-year old one-armed boy leads the charge, followed by Maturin who was barely out of bed after being shot and nearly killed (even if he is a master duellist). Still, 9/10 movie overall.
>also sequels never
>>551990
>White Goddess
>historical fiction
Also I do consider O'Brian a better author than Graves.
>>552006
How would you describe Graves' methodology of getting high on mushrooms and wanking to his waifu as a way to interpret 4000 years of archaeological and literary remains across thousands of miles into a syncretic invented religion?
>>552003
>a 12-year old one-armed boy leads the charge
That was actually not that implausible given that all other officers had already boarded the enemy ship. Historically, midshipmen did indeed command guns and boarding parties.
If anything, the shit part is Maturin joining the fray at all. He did it once through the whole series and it was for the specifical purpose of catching a spy, he would never have boarded just to fight, both because his place as surgeon was in the cockpit to take care of the wounded, and because he was (most incredibly hypocritically of him but w/e) a pacifist.
>>552027
I love the books descriptions of him cutting men up high as fuck.
>>552025
I describe it as an essay on mythology and myth-making. I don't see why would you even choose that book to compare him to O'Brian when he actually wrote fucking novels.
>>552036
>cutting men up high as fuck
Kek, I don't know if chewing a coca leaf counts as high as fuck, but indeed the guy had a fucking addiction issue, he went from a habit to the next as soon as he lost it.
>>552027
>That was actually not that implausible given that all other officers had already boarded the enemy ship
Yeah no, I know that history is full of incredible-sounding shit like that, it's just the fact that he was an amputee on top of being a scrawny little guy that kind of pushes it for me.
>>552037
Well if you're suggesting that Graves specious fiction was underwritten compared to O'Brian's masterful if Augustine prose, then I have to agree.
But they're both fiction. And poorly contrived fiction at that. One projects post-Empire bohemian petit-bourgeois sexuality onto the past, causing sexual assignations that were impossible in real life. The other, of course, is about the Greeks.
>>552052
And yet amputee officers (at least arm amputees) were a relatively common occurence (even fucking Nelson). You might say that he recuperated ridiculously fast (how long could it have taken to go from Brazil to the Galapagos, 1-2 months?), but being an amputee wouldn't have held him back in the Royal Navy. Actually if anything the opposite (honorable wound).
>>552003
>even if he is a master duellist
Speaking of which, I remember Ridley Scott's The Duellists as being a fairly decent historical drama, though it's been a while since I saw it.
>>551909
So was the "doctor" in the end the French ship's captain? Why did he give that sword to Aubrey?
>>552067
>One projects post-Empire bohemian petit-bourgeois sexuality onto the past, causing sexual assignations that were impossible in real life.
I'm not sure what you're referring to tbqh.
>>552078
Yes, and he gave the sword to Aubrey to fool him into thinking the dead body was the captain, and that before he died he wanted to surrender his sword.
>>552078
the captain introduced himself as the doctor to avoid capture, and he gave aubrey his sword because it was required of defeated officers to resign their weapon to their captor.
>>552081
Go read White Goddess. It is basically Graves masturbating.
Go read Aubrey/Maturin. It is basically Yaoi fangirls 1805- "We won Malaya / Winston was an Okay Chap / Home rule was a mistake".
>>552094
You should read the White Goddes yourself.
>>552078
Yes, he gave him the sword to convince Aubrey that the captain of the ship was indeed dead, as surrendering one's sword was the way to convey the surrendering of your force. However since he wasn't actually dead, he may or may not have been planning on capturing his ship back at an opportune time, like the dastardly Frenchman that he was.
>>552099
I have. It is singularly unconvincing eisegesis.
>>552104
>Frenchmen
There are no /his/ approved movies. There's always something odious little turd who thinks he's showing how clever they are by pointing out that the buttons are from the wrong decade or that the uniforms are too green.
>>552151
Moby Dick is a pretty good whale encyclopædia, ruined by a gay romance.
>>551991
but why did they still chase each other? like they wanted to fight you know
>>552168
When you capture another ship, you get the money when your government auctions it off.
>>552168
Well the frenchman was just trying to ambush his pursuer (plus the glory of defeating a military ship as a privateer), whereas Jack was just overproud and ill-accustomed to defeat, and chose to exceed his orders rather than go back in failure.

The French ship is a stand-in for the novel(s)'s American counterpart.
Either way, it's a privateer preying on British shipping. Jack has to stop them or let the Bonapartists rule the seas.
>>551909
I was disappointed how they never mention Trafalgar and Nelson's death. They namedropped him several times I thought it would be a fitting symbolic end.
>>554433
It's not based on just one of the novels, it is a mish mash of chunks from several.
>>554440
The film starts in April/May 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar was fought in October of the same year.
>>554451
Depends how much time they spent chasing the French.
>>554459
True, but they would have still been out of the loop. The only time they encounter outsiders that aren't trying to sink them is when they stop for supplies on the coast of South America (Brazil probably), and when they rescue the whalers at Galapagos, and I doubt those folks got much news from Europe either. You have to remember it took weeks or even months for news to cross the ocean back in those days.

Very useful to train people that "you can't blow up a social relationship," and that militarising the party results in military coups not revolutions.
Unlike the United States' attempt to express the utter evil of the professional soldier engaged in an evil mission, Apocalypse Now, the French Paratroop Officer expresses something entirely different. To the French a man may be erudite, mannerly, civil, respect his enemy intellectually, and water board them for 72 hours in order to effect a minor arrest on a regional cell. Like the Front National, the State is run by intelligent men who maintain their humanity through their brutality.

>>569146
I'm pretty sure the war ended the Great Depression and there is nothing miraculous about war. It was just a bunch of government spending.
>>552857
A few gripes I had with this film. First, that the cast is way too old. Most of the real participants at the battle were in their 20s and some were in their 30s. The worst offenders of this were color-sergeant Bourne, guy with mutton-chops, who was only 24 in real life and Ferdinand Schiess, the bald one, who was only 22. The list goes on, but both of these characters were portrayed by men well in their 40s.
Second is how the film basically takes a massive shit on religion. This is completely unforgivable. Rev. Witt, also too old by at least 20 years, was not a coward. He did not urge anyone to flee. He went back to his farm to be with his family. The film also completely erases the character of chaplain George Smith, who played a prominent role in the battle.
Any other complaints are autism, but these are pretty big. Not a bad film, but could have been better.

I Claudius:
Complete coverage of the Julio Claudians from Augustus(played by BRIAN BLESSED) onward scrupulously researched and based around the writings of Tacitus, Plutarch, and Suetonius as contemporary historians.
While the conceit of the story of a heroic cripple emperor telling all may take liberties with the personalities in the history, (we cannot say given the sources) the events and chronology are rigorously accurate and the story is coherent.
Rome struggles to keep its identity as a king hating republic of the brave, but even in victory over MarcAntony the foundations are shaking; Agrippa the ambitious lieutenant, Livia the scheming queen in fact if not in name, her over-mothered son Tiberius who resents her, and the defeated and timid senate show in their secret ways the cracks in the Roman edifice even in the moment of its greatest triumph. Each in their full flower of evil are but a prelude as Rome becomes a truly despicable cauldron of poison under the mad Caligula and even more ambitious Sejanus (Patrick Stewart).
It's most powerful and unlikely leaders' cowardice, debauchery, naivite, and fear of disunity born of the very successes that empowered them ultimately produce a gripping and human tragedy that sadly ends with Claudius' reign before the year of the four emperors. Though it is clear that if Rome didn't die when Julius Caesar pronounced "alea iacta est", the death of Claudius before Nero's short reign was the end of the Julio Claudian emperors. All the rest were made by the praetorian guard as Claudius before them.
Follow up with reading Gibbon's History of the Rise and Fall of Rome if you are still interested.

Marketa Lazarova Is always at the top of my list. Dealing with transition of Europe from paganism to Christianity, it explores the middle ages as well as the overall religious and social background in great detail through a gritty sometimes dreamlike lens, and on top of being one of the most beautifully shot films of all time. It's also challenging and high art, broken into sequences giving it an overall modernist structure, so watch it in the right mind set.

Doesn't change the fact that the movie is still about as accurate as braveheart.
>>580527
I never denied that the movie is historically inaccurate though comparing it to Braveheart is ridiculous and you know it. I'm not defending the movie. I think it's just an average action flick. But it's not the first time someone brought up the movie's prevalence of armors being "inaccurate" when Osprey's or whatever movie/drama/game you guys think is supposedly historically accurate are worse. If you look at actual paintings made by Koreans/Japanese within a hundred or so years of the war then there is much greater proof of normal Korean soldiers being armored than not.
So if you're gonna bring up the armors thing again you should at least have some sources ready to back up your statement.
Tldr version: tons of things to criticize about the movie but prevalence of armor is the least of them

Actually, if they had glossed over the war bit, and concentrated on the home front PTSD, it would have been a pretty good depiction of war from a woman's point of view, and the fallout they have to deal with. (Which, yes, pales in comparison to what the men have to deal with, but has an entirely different impact on the world.)
And it wasn't a terrible movie - just more emotional exposition than history, as one would expect from a woman.

I was so sad when that ended. Possibly my favourite war related media.

Clever, you implied that being a mariner these days means you have accurate knowledge of how it was done in the past, when actually it's entirely different.

Bravo Two Zero is a better soldier movie.

I really love Shakespeare, and Branagh is incredibly based, but I don't think you could ever call it historically accurate.

Is that a young BRIAN BLESSÉD?
I watched Zulu yesterday but i had to turn it off after two thirds of the film. I was getting too triggered by the inaccuracies of the portrayal of the battle at Rorke's drift.
>Zulus standing in the open, letting themselves get shot to "test" the firepower of the british.
>Zulus jumping over the perimeter wall at the first charge
>Witt staying at the station, being used for comic relief
>Jawdroppingly awful depictions of melee combat. People dying from having a bayonet stabbed into the air 3 feet next to them.
>Officers standing around and chilling outside the hospital while the perimeter is overrun by zulus in the background

this/10, Zulu is a meme movie. I am convinced thats the only reason its shilled so.

Fucking amazing. So much detail crammed into every scene. Even stuff on screen for a few seconds. Most films/shows would just have a printed page slotted into some old book standing in as an illuminated manuscript. They had a real, what looked hand written and gilded page.
Fantastic.

I've never heard of any :'(
