Is this the best film ever made?

I honestly can't think of a better film.

>that cinematography
>that sound design
>that realistic depiction of a Napoleonic era Royal Navy ship
>that general attention to historical detail
>that subtle character building
>that camaraderie
>that soundtrack
>that lack of unnecessary female characters/love plot
>those fight scenes
>that subtle CGI
>that subtle exploration of the British class system
>that all round cosy feel
>that ship hierarchy that you understand more each time you watch it
>that ending scene

And women can't understand it

I had trouble understanding it

My mom loved it though.

>>62629192
its my favorite movie of all time

>i hate it when you talk of the service in this way

i dont think its flawless but as an exploration of everything a man should be, its flawless in my mind

im just gonna assume you are a fucking troll

>>62629460
so the essence of manhood is submission?
>>
>>62629508
why weren't competing legal orders allowed to organise voluntary defenses? what does compelled service have to do with manhood?

arent you just promoting ancient memes designed to subdue males?
>>
>>62629525
the essence of manhood is doing your god damn duty with honour
>>
>>62629561
>bootlicking

>honourable
>>
>>62629558
there is always hierarchy, the most essential element and reason for the state is providing that hierarchy in order to ensure the cogs fall in the right places to ensure the collective defense against the other.

One of the most essential elements of manhood that separates us from woman is the ability to organize and select a leader from within our ranks, knowing when to take charge and when to follow. Memes or no, it is mans purview to fight and doing so effectively you must have order, and discipline.

A society like yours doesn't exist and will never exist because it will be crushed by those that recognize these realities.

My mom liked it too but it was more a 'look at how slick that Russel Crowe is I want him inside me' sort of thing.
It was pretty gross.

Peter Weir = faggot-loving liberal director of Dead Poets Society, Witness & Truman Show

It's decent, nothing great. Why it failed and no sequels were ever made.

/tv/'s obsession with it is baffling beyond the angst with their virginity.

What's wrong with an occasional epic sea battle?
I think if they kept the same director things would probably have stayed true to the original.

Mostly for the brotherhood and the pride of men not willing to admit such heinous acts.
