So, why exactly can't women understand these kind of films?
Because they've never been out to sea in the 19th century.

Camaraderie, bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, gratuitous amounts of violence and gore, national pride, sense of duty, dead children, children using guns, actual science, lack of women in the actual film, no homoeroticism or romantic relationships to fanfic about, hairy old men, men not giving a fuck, etc.
Because men who say that are the kind of men that women close themselves off to out of self preservation. Then they use this as evidence that women are vapid.
This was my favorite movie for many years. I even read all the books. Maturin is a true bro.

Because to become a man you have to serve on a ship of the line on your 18th birthday, but its a secret no one talks about so you can't prepare for it. So OP confirmed for female or underageb&

My mom took me to see this in theaters. She loves this and war movies

>national pride
I like how you tried to insert this as though something like "national pride" isn't inherently emotional, illogical, absurd, cowardly, anti-scientific, etc.

Nothing irrational about it. You share the same core values, history, culture, faith, government, and economy with your fellow countrymen. You also share a common ancestor, so there is the familial connection with your countrymen.
Just because modern pop culture and multiculturalism has essentially supplanted actual culture doesn't mean it has lost it's value, it just means we're missing out on something important and binding our ancestors knew and enjoyed.

Flicks are for women, kino is for men
What's also funny are those feminists on okcupid and so on who claim to be sooo liberated from the ebul straight white male cis patriarchy and then they go on to randomly quote these very same straight white male directors in their favorite movies profile section LOL
>tfw you will never play music with jack aubrey in the dead of night as you feel the boat swaying gently in the water beneath you
>you will never call him goldilocks
>you will never dress him up as a bear to sneak him over the spanish border
>you will never watch him feast and demand dinner at 3pm
>you will never spook him with talk of teratomas
>you will never get annoyed at him when he goes to concerts and taps his fingers against his thigh off rhythm to the actual music
>you will never be stranded on an island with him
>you will never watch him fall off a horse, get his ankle caught in the stirrup and get dragged through a muddy field while whores watch from a distance
