Some interesting facts about the movie: 1. Russell Crowe learned to play violin for the film and referred to it as the hardest thing he'd ever done for a film. 2. This film was intended to be the first entry in a franchise. However, due to low box-office numbers, no sequels were ever made, despite critical acclaim and multiple Oscar nominations. 3. The movie combines two novels - "Master and Commander" and "The Far Side of the World". Both deal with chasing down a privateer and the movie combines the long chase of the latter with the furious climactic battle of the former 4. Paul Bettany was one of the few actors who did not get seasick during filming. He was a member of Sea Cadets as a kid. Any others you know?

5. In Patrick O'Brian's novel on which the film is based, the enemy ship was the Norfolk, an American ship; but in the Hollywood version, it has changed nationality: it is the Acheron, a French frigate. Perfect occasion to add french bashing after their refusal to support the intervention in Iraq
@@ouient It is possibly done to bash the French in that modern way too but I heard it was so it did not alienate American audiences with them being the "bad guys" in the movie. Very common thing to happen with movies when "America" is in this position in a film, the producers and marketers think Americans are dumb enough to hate a movie because of them being the villains and will refuse to see it or blacklist it. Luckily in this movie the French worked out perfectly well, and there are still comments about the ship being American made as a callback to the original books. Plus the American's were very pro French at this time period so they may build and sell them a ship (even though America needed every ship they could at the time).
It would of been probably the largest award winner that year except it had another movie it was competing against that well.... was also deserving of the awards.
Absolutely! I am sad Master and Commander did not get more acclaim from audiences at the time, and I would have loved to see Crowe and Bettany play off of each other some more. They had so much chemistry on screen without ever undermining each other!
I don't quite remember when I watched M & C for the 50th time, but I must have passed that milestone several years back... 😅 My favorite movie, plain and simple
This movie was acclaimed by the critics (rightfully so) but did not make a lot of money, whereas Scott's Napoleon is universally detested but is a box office success... sigh
If i remember correctly, the last lord of the rings movie came in theatres at the same time. That is most likely the reason why it didn't make a lot of money.
@@NameName-dx8lbAlso it came out shortly after Pirates of the Caribbean (which is good in its own right), so it was being compared unfairly to that. Just unfortunate timing. It's an unfortunate business.
I can't think of many bigger cinematic crimes, than this movie not getting a sequel. My god what a master class. It left the door wide open as well. I suppose we shall never know if they caught her back up!?
@@bachhongtran i come back to this gem regularly. Absolutely outstanding movie and seems like unique in its genre... shame. i ve hoped for a sequel/prequel since i first saw it
Unsurpassed: the movie and the soundtrack. Having watched it literally dozens of times and each time it provides me with the reward of a deeper appreciation for work. Ah yes, the Devil is at the wheel of this phantom ship. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2024, during which time I will undoubtedly be watching M&C again. Cheers.
It is indeed one of the most _rewatchable_ films ever! I get into loops with movies where I watch them over and over... last time this was on Max, I probably watched it 20 times lol
I love this film and it’s definitely one of my favourite movies. Also the soundtrack is just one of the best and fits so well with the film. Love Vaughn Williams.
The movie is exquisite (even down to the right arm of the figurehead being repaired after the Mid's loss) and I bored my son to death two weeks ago visiting USS Constitution in Boston, ranting on about the Acheron. The music is all the better for being a contemporary source. Thank you for this HD upload!
There's some special trips you can take your son on, especially in Florida. A week away from, " the modern world " and y'all will learn some seamanship. I highly recommend it👊
My absolute favorite movie in the last 25y I've been on that ship too. It used to be called the HMS Rose, and was docked in Bridgeport, CT. They even used to have haunted houses on the lower deck back in the 80's. Very cool to see her preserved
Greatest movie I’ve ever seen about that time period in the Royal Navy. Very brutal very little in medical care. “is them his brains?” “ No that’s dried blood, those are his brains “ …Back to work !!!!
Thanks so much for sharing. One of my favorite movies and soundtracks. Glad to see that so many others enjoyed this remarkable movie. Kudos to all who helped make it such a memorable cinematic experience.
Meiner Meinung nach ist das vielleicht der beste Marine-historische Film aller Zeiten, und trotzdem ist es Jammerschaden das seitdem nicht mehr aus diesem großartigen Werk von Patrick Obrain verfilmt wurde,es hat noch soviel mehr Potential
Although not a commercial success, received critical acclaim and numerous award nominations, including several Oscar wins in sound and cinematography. One source I read called the attention to production detail and proper depiction of British Naval life at sea “…near perfect…”.
I think the fact that it received 10 academy award nominations, director/picture/cinematography/score/adapted screenplay, etc. is a testament to the quality of this film. Remember this went up against one of the GOATs of all time, LORT Return of the King.
It is such a shame that another was not made. A wonderful film so well done. Instead we have this continuous crap of super hero films that people are sick of….
The Patrick O'Brian saga is the only book I ever read 7 times and counting... there is no other story that I ever need for my heart's content. Not even the Dune or Foundation series.
Siempre nombran en estas películas a mi gran puerto de Valparaíso en ese entonces Paso obligado luego del cabo de hornos antes del canal de panamá grande pancho gancho
La mejor película de Russell Crowe...lejos Una obra maestra desde todo punto de vista. Va a ser de culto. Creo ya lo es. (En un tiempo mas va a ser como Blade Runner😎☝️)
A wonderful way to experience the books is via Audible, read by Ric Jerrom. He reads them brilliantly, brings life to every character, and gives every sentence its due.
Yes I agree and prefer this firm about the Napoleon wars as it only has one snippet with the French naval fleet and tried to say that France did not hate this country as a lot of people seem to think now. Just my opinion.
For people still wandering why Master & Commander didn't do well and Napoleon did, it's very simple. Moviegoers are by and large ignorant of history. And there's not enough "epic" for the simple-minded..
Of all the terrible movies that get a second or third installment...how did this masterpiece not get a fleet (see what I did there) of additional movies. SMH.
It simply wasn't entertaining enough for the general public that goes to movie theatres. People who enjoy films like Master and Commander are not in the majority, sadly. This movie is too mature, slow and classy for our times, most of people, younger audiences especially, seek other things in cinema.
as someone who was born in 2009 knowing a huge amount of people who just love pop i must admit, this music is incredible and fits in well with the film!@@1337Skrjabinn
@Nordmann1377 I think you are absolutely right. Each moment is measured, precise and beautiful. There's brutality but it's not fantasy. There may be a few but generally young people and any 'twitching' adults are not interested in this archaic way of life which they don't see as relevant to any facet of British life. There is no entitlement...but continual duty, forbearance, honour and then more duty. Sadly all gone, never to return I think. The film is riveting...every nuance, every glance is pregnant with meaning. It's the same everytime I watch it and some parts are so very hard to keep watching. And then there's the divine uplifting music. We won't see films like this again I fear.
Master and commander is an extraordinarily good movie. Undoubtedly Russel Crowe's best. The sound track makes it. I'm surprised in today's worlds it even got made. It's too good for Hollywood. Possibly a modern better remake of Captain Hornblower with Gregory Peck. Not a criticism. Hornblower is a good movie too. I doubt there will be a sequel. Hollywood is too invested in crap.
À mon premier voyage en bateau St Martin . Tes yeux de chat Mon fait naviguer A travers un fauteuil de l'océan Qui brûle de l'intérieur J'écris et je tiens m'a clé d'Agadez Moi qui vient du désert à ma naissance Comme pour réunir les bras des océans Près de cette île Ou nous échouons Nous les diverses cultures Pour réunir un mythe Séparé de d'autre sagesse Qui rejoint la bibliothèque du monde Là-bas Et tout devient paisible Après cette averse D'une demeure d'un toit envolé Pour vivre d'une aube Qui se réjoui sur notre tête
My favorite movie, more like a documentary than your typical Hollywood blockbuster that lacks depth and detail. I only have two points of criticism, one minor and one major: Minor: the casting of Billy Boyd, a distraction due to his recent LotR fame and somewhat breaks the immersion for me Major: I understand that the story was altered to a conflict with a French frigate rather than an American. This is an unfortunate concession to the US market and should not have been done. Also, unlike other viewers, I am glad that a sequel was never made. The high quality of M & C would have been almost impossible to maintain. They would have risked and possibly watered down what they had already accomplished. Like Metropolis, Apocalypse Now, The Shawshank Redemption etc., this one works best as a standalone movie IMO.

@@Swarm509 yeah, the "french" ship is actually based on a United States-class frigate, specifically USS Constitution.
I feel this film is severely underrated. Its a cinematic masterpiece!
what do you mean by underrated though because everyone who's seen it knows it couldn't be possibly better.
@@Finwaell It was overshadowed by Return of the King when it was released
Exactly my opinion
@@trenta.958 Was a good year for movies.
One of the damn few movies that takes fantastic source material and MAKES IT BETTER.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time; a rare 10/10 masterpiece.
Absolutely agree, my favorite live action motion picture of all time.
Absolutely! I am sad Master and Commander did not get more acclaim from audiences at the time, and I would have loved to see Crowe and Bettany play off of each other some more. They had so much chemistry on screen without ever undermining each other!
I’ve seen this movie probably 50 times!!
It’s just perfect from every perspective!
Me too! It's my favorite movie still to this day. : D
The soundtrack is the most memorable part, the plot is fairly simple

Yes and there were a sh*tload of books left in the series for them to turn into film...
How did that blunder of a movie become a box office success? I haven't even seen it. I don't have to I knew it was dumb from the trailer
One of the best movies ever made and one of the best soundtracks.
I can't think of many bigger cinematic crimes, than this movie not getting a sequel. My god what a master class. It left the door wide open as well. I suppose we shall never know if they caught her back up!?

Love the books, love the film , love the music.........over and over and over
I just watched the movie again after 20 years. What a great movie!
From an old Proud Navy Man , one of the best movies ever made , period

The simple truth is, not all of us become the men we once hoped we might be.
no joke, no exaggeration, no bullshit - this is the best movie of all time
I believe it's the closest you can get to being in the 19th century navy without actually being there , a Master piece of a film and acting
Don't forget about the Hornblower miniseries! 😁
Some would say, not a great financial success, but a great work of art.
The film is amazing, but the soundtrack is absolutely timeless and underrated
The music for this was outstanding!
Indeed
"Well Stephen, the bird is flightless?"
"Yes...."
"Its not going anywhere"

I love this film and it’s definitely one of my favourite movies. Also the soundtrack is just one of the best and fits so well with the film. Love Vaughn Williams.
a masterpiece, it will always one be in my top 3 films!
And the othere two?
Happy 20th Anniversary to this film released on this day in 2003.
The movie enlightened me to the great classic works of luigi boccherni !
Pity that they never done a sequel, i would love to see. This one is a masterpiece in my humble opinion.
The movie is exquisite (even down to the right arm of the figurehead being repaired after the Mid's loss) and I bored my son to death two weeks ago visiting USS Constitution in Boston, ranting on about the Acheron. The music is all the better for being a contemporary source. Thank you for this HD upload!

One of my favorite actor Russel Crowe❤
Wonderful film in every aspect, music, plot, photography, as well as the spectacular setting
One of Russell Crowe's best movies, perfect soundtrack.
Favorite part 1:09.
Those strings. Oof. Fantastic
Thanks so much for sharing. One of my favorite movies and soundtracks. Glad to see that so many others enjoyed this remarkable movie. Kudos to all who helped make it such a memorable cinematic experience.
Love this film and soundtrack especially Fantasia ..

It’s amazing how perfect this soundtrack ended up being despite being created by three virtually unknown composers.
I see what you did there,😂😂😂 Shalom!
A masterpiece in every way!
awesome; I imagine that people had to continue life after battles and loss.
Hence the funeral scene after the battle where it is shown that every man on board had lost at least one friend.
@@johnries5593great notice, thank you
Hola!!! Dulce y evocadora Música, magistralmente Interpretada, y fielmente Trasmitida, Enhorabuena,
My good Sirs and Ladies this is a quite an Excellent vintage 👌👏🎬🍷🍾🥂🍻
First heard this soundtrack in Darthmods Empire Total War. Had no idea this is where it was from.
Is a crime to interrupt such musical masterpiece with adds!!!!!
It is such a shame that another was not made.
A wonderful film so well done.
Instead we have this continuous crap of super hero films that people are sick of….
The Patrick O'Brian saga is the only book I ever read 7 times and counting... there is no other story that I ever need for my heart's content. Not even the Dune or Foundation series.
My favorite movie hands down. I am also on my second reading of O'Brian's books. Too bad no sequels were made.
Excellent soundtrack cut!
Superb variation.
Soundtrack by Iva Davies of Icehouse (Electric Blue, Hey Little Girl, Crazy, Great Southern Land).
Realmente? No lo sabía. Gracias 😎☝️

My second favourite film after The Thin Red Line, also massively underrated. And I've read all 21 books at least five times, some of them more.
Obra maestra con mayúsculas!!!
This was and is a masterpiece
Value the film far more if you’ve read the books!
Couldn't agree more. You feel alive and THERE
What are the books called please?
@@mattbryant96 The books are the Patrick OBrien books , the Aubrey / Maturin series.
A wonderful way to experience the books is via Audible, read by Ric Jerrom. He reads them brilliantly, brings life to every character, and gives every sentence its due.
Yes I agree and prefer this firm about the Napoleon wars as it only has one snippet with the French naval fleet and tried to say that France did not hate this country as a lot of people seem to think now. Just my opinion.
Always screetch screetch scratch scratch... never anything you can danse to
A masterpiece!
I love it!
Patrick O'Brien would have been very proud of this movie! 5 stars.
I only remember one line “it’s the lesser of two weevils”
En español: es el menor de los gudaños...
For people still wandering why Master & Commander didn't do well and Napoleon did, it's very simple. Moviegoers are by and large ignorant of history. And there's not enough "epic" for the simple-minded..

À mon premier voyage en bateau
St Martin
.
Tes yeux de chat
Mon fait naviguer
A travers un fauteuil de l'océan
Qui brûle de l'intérieur
J'écris et je tiens m'a clé d'Agadez
Moi qui vient du désert à ma naissance
Comme pour réunir les bras des océans
Près de cette île
Ou nous échouons
Nous les diverses cultures
Pour réunir un mythe
Séparé de d'autre sagesse
Qui rejoint la bibliothèque du monde
Là-bas
Et tout devient paisible
Après cette averse
D'une demeure d'un toit envolé
Pour vivre d'une aube
Qui se réjoui sur notre tête
And then I fell in love with the Captain….
You have chosen the lesser of two weevils!
Fantasia on a Theme looks like The 13th warrior
Algunas cosas se hacen bien UNA sola vez. Y antes de arruinarlas con algo mal hecho, mejor que quede así. Y ésta película es un claro ejemplo de ello.

Found it on Spotify recently, should be there
