>we will never see another Master and Commander film
It hurts.
good
If it was made in todays time half the characters would be female and/or black, Jack would be played by Lena Dunham and the british would be in black naziesque uniforms

>not liking that movie
fag
it was trash
it's one of those movies like shawshank redemption that should have received awarded praise.
at least it can't be ruined in a remake
It's a blessing in disguise. The fact that it didn't have any sequels and won't have any remakes means that Hollywood won't ruin its legacy to squeeze a few more shekels out of it like it does with all its franchises

A sequel with the cast over 10 years older or a reboot . . . to be honest I don't know which would be the lesser of two weevils!
>>64135459
at least we'll always have the novels

Gave my little bro this on DVD for Crimbo, along with Conan the Barbarian, Collateral, This Is Spinal Tap and True Romance.
Is that a good prezzie?
>>64136009
True and they are pretty damn good books. I still would have loved to see another film.
The books are so fucking based
Russell Crowe was GOAT casting for Jack
The fact that there will never be a sequel is a genuine tragedy
>>64135459
It hurts to live.

More like a blessing. It's a hidden treasure only true patricians recognize.

Paul Bettany was also fantastic as Stephen Maturin. They shared some great chemistry.

Crowe and Bettany made the film.

How the hell can you manage to play the violin when you most assuredly have hearing loss and tinnitus from standing in a room where multiple cannons are going off?

I don't know if either of those two spent much time around the cannons during their lives.

Are they any good? Easy to read?
Just got a Kindle and need to find some books to read, I eyed up the 'books to read before you die' and the vast majority of them seem to be aimed at women, mostly about women socialites in the 18th/19th century, etc. (Portrait of a Lady, etc.)
Military, (Hard) Science Fiction, and Historical seem to be the only books that interest me, and this certainly falls into the prior and the latter categories.

Jack practically grew up on ships, he didn't show up and become a Captain on his first day. Officers instructed the gunners on how and when to fire, and to do so they'd necessarily have to be by the guns. Since ships not only fired the guns in battle but also to train the crew he'd have to have endured hundreds or thousands of guns going off in close proximity.
>>64137610
By being a child prodigy that knew the ins and outs of it before going deaf. Jack's not intelligent in non-naval matters, which is why he and Maturin complements each-other so well.
If you like this check out the Sharpe series as well as the books.
>>64135459
I guess it's for the best,
you can't top perfection.
are there other similar films or series about the British Navy/Napoleonic wars out there?
>>64137597
You really do. I've got an e-reader so I just download the suckers off of IRC. It's not like Patrick O'Brian is alive to get any royalties from me buying them.
>>64137757
>Are they any good? Easy to read?
They're good, but "easy to read" depends on how much you know about ships and/or how much you're willing to look up. He really didn't baby the reader, expecting you to know or look up how a ship works except in the few early instances where Jack explains to Aubrey how a ship works. Characters will mention parts of the ship and rigging, or how the ship is manoeuvring, without any attempt to explain it for landlubbers, and some of the things I've even had a hard time looking up because they were dialectal words for some piece in the rigging and things like that, so they didn't show up in my e-readers in-built dictionary. Maturin also speaks in latin occasionally when discussing medical matters or trying to talk in a covert way on a ship where everyone can hear you etc, with no explanations given as to its importance. The writing-style itself I've had absolutely no problems with, and I'm not even a native English-speaker.
All in all, definitely give them a go.
I don't understand this movie.
>>64138003
Sharpe series and the Hornblower series.
>>64137920
Don't forget Hornblower. That's the proper Sharpe-on-the-Sea as far as tone goes, I think.

With all the money siphoned to make a couple of capeshit and Transformer like movies a year, we will never get a quality, well made historical epics.
>>64139047
okay my original post was worth this response
but my point still stands-- the film adaptation is weak. It replaced Jack's original motivations (profit and duty) with the Hollywood kike motivation (patriotism mixed with regret for risking the lives of his men).

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't get lashed to hell and back if stuck on a ship with asshole officers. I'd follow an officer like Jack Aubrey, though. Beats the hell out of starving to death in a ditch back in England or dying in some field in France or Spain.
