At 0:34 that's my Dad on the far left in the wool cap, he's a rigger and master shipwright that Director Peter Weir brought in for the construction of the tank ship, and the modifications to The Rose to turn her into The Surprise. Having been on sailing ships his whole life, Peter used my Dad and a bunch of his mates as extras throughout the film because they looked the part and could move aboard the ship authentically. Just another reason I adore this masterful film.
I watched this yesterday for the first time since I was much younger and was getting "The Right Stuff" vibes from it - it takes itself seriously to try and tell a good story and do it well, not have the biggest explosions, the biggest box office or the biggest star cast - it's proper "cinema"
@@Philmoscowitzthis didn’t make a lot of money sadly. Ron Howard made a movie in the theme of this in 2015 and that lost movie, badly, so they probably won’t make anything like this for awhile
It’s about bang for Buck with movies like this. The costs in making period sea movies is astronomical compared to the return on investment (ROI). It’s cheaper and more profitable to run ten average cgi super bs blockbusters and get above average ROI in a year than to break the bank and receive a low ROI. But I agree … a sequel would’ve been enjoyable to a niche audience.
As Dan Snow the historian said “Master and Commander is the best and only brilliant depiction of life and war at sea in Nelson’s century”. That says it all.
I did this speech for a school play in middle school. memorized and practiced for a whole month getting down the mannerisms, tone and passion of Captain Aubrey/Russell Crowe. Got me the lead role!
One of the greatest speeches EVER on film.....he had EVERYONE in there in the palm of his hand. Great dialogue, great message, great emotion....."This ship....is England".....man that is some serious GOOSEBUMPS.....
I completely agree and have the same reaction as I've tried to suggest in a comment. In this beautifully crafted film, by the time of the speech comes we have come to know ship, captain and crew with no cinematic bells, whistles or cliches. ' This ship is England ' it catches me in the throat. Nothing is over played but rather is naturalistic and true. Not a false note here !
I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear. Sorry. I meant, shame Scott gave up on a kind of film making such as we see in Master and Commander. Peter Weir is certainly the one to cheer for Master and Commander. I can see how my rushed remark is off. Thanks.
Now 'this' is a motivational speech and all the more so because it isn't 'trying' to be. Like everything else in this very fine film the captain's remarks are perfectly naturalistic and real, a very rare thing in motion pictures which constantly manipulate the audience with obvious effects. In Master and Commander the drama emerges from the reality of the ship and its crew and is able to build naturally. Crowe underplays his part allowing us to breath, think and react with his character. A story of good fellowship, challenge, trust and sacrifice - wonderfully told. A beautiful gem.
I truly believe Sir Thomas Cochrane would approve of this motion picture and Russel Crowe's portrayal of Captain Jack--upon which this character is based!!
Indeed he would, a mighty Scotsman and one of the greatest maritime warriors to ever live. His capture of the El Gamo, a 32 gun Frigate with the HMS Speedy a 14 gun brig, is clearly the inspiration for the taking of the Acheron in this great film. Cochrane boarded the El Gamo with 53 men (every member of the crew of the Speedy other than the doctor) and took her as a prize, as well as the 319 Spanish crew members (or at least the ones that weren't killed during the boarding) as prisoners. Absolute legend. This was just one of his many incredible feats done both on land and at sea. In addition to being the inspiration for Lucky Jack, he was also the inspiration for Horatio Hornblower.
Doing a bit of reading - this is a by-the-book, classical pre-battle speech, the sort a Roman general may give to his troops and the sort an educated commander in the period would have memorized. This movie really makes sure every aspect is period correct.
People ask for sequel but movies like this, of this quality, release all the time and nobody goes to the theatres to see it. Even Crowe's "the nice guys" was soo good but nobody saw it.
These are labors of love for the Director's and Producers. They rarely make superhero money off movies like this. They are for the people who made their millions and want to make art, something to remember them by. They don't always succeed and even lose money initially. Hollywood doesn't have the patience or the artistic skills to risk a movie making a slim to none profit, vs a formulaic superhero/comic movie that rakes in millions. This was a once-in-a-lifetime, historically accurate film that I probably won't see the likes of again. Only Netflix came close recently with their version of All Quiet on the Western Front - and that movie had it's flaws to be sure. The Jack Aubrey series, as well as the Hornblower series could be incredible, but for the fact you point out, people won't go see them. They'd rather see Ironman 12.
Just watching any of these clips is enough to get me to re-watch the entire movie. Definitely in my top-20 of all time. Peter Weir's magic touch, a stellar cast, and great storytelling with visceral realism.
I struggle to grasp how men actually did this... Left home, got into wooden vessels, set off into the vast oceans with nothing more than relatively prinative navigation tech, no modern luxury whatsoever, and it appears these men were true soldiers.. Many actually wanted to fight, knowing the inherit risk, they did their duty. It's just.. I'm in awe sometimes at European men and that Faustian spirit which has driven us to explore and discover.
There were people who wanted to go to sea, but there were many for whom it was not voluntary. There were times in history when member of the public would be forced into it by press gangs: a group of sailors or soldiers that would round up people from port and make them serve on a ship. They were supposed to recruit sailors but having tar under your nails could be enough evidence. Only a caulker would have tared fingers of course, now get in the ship.
It completely captures the spirit of the books, even using chunks of dialog. A masterpiece. Paul Bettany is great as Maturin. Russel Crowe seems like an odd choice for Aubrey, as he is always so cool, and Aubrey is a bit oafish. But he pulls it off so well, that now I can only picture him in that role. This scene perfectly shows Aubrey's noble side, and the awkward jokes perfectly capture the rest of the personality.
I remember seeing the HMS Rose decades ago when it was berthed in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was primarily mustard yellow before they painted it black and white for this movie. What a vessel!
Awesome movie! It's shame they couldn't make a sequel. A sequel is worthy of this original, even if it's decades later. Russel Crow is still around. Just do it, Hollywood!
Great movie. Hats off to Peter Weir for insisting on accuracy in costumes, dialogue, setting, and adherence to the Patrick O'Brian novels. What a shame that it wasn't judged best movie of that year because it was, without question.
@@Holdit66 Saw it. It's standard Exorcist stuff but with a good sense of humour. Especially with Crowe's funny jokes. Very watchable and entertaining, but no masterpiece,
Great movie... and if you look at the Cast, its even obvious as many of the actors ,starred in many great movies and TV-shows: Russel Crowe: ''Maximus Decimus Meridius'(Gladiator) Paul Bettany: Vision(Avengers) Billy Boyd: LOTR Joseph Morgan: Klaus Michaelson(Originals, and TVD) Robert Pugh: Craster(GoT) Mark Lewis Jones: Col. Pikalov(HBO's Chernobyl)/Shagga, son of Dolf(GoT), Captain Canady(SW-TLJ) And thats just a handful of them...
Col. Pikalov was an absolute boss. Fought and survived in the Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow, Battle of Kursk and then after all that Chernobyl blows up while he's head of the Chemical Troops of the USSR Ministry of Defense. He gets there, discovers they don't know the true radiation being emitted and when told it could be bad he himself drives a truck around the power plant with measuring devices rather than order one of his troops to possible death. He then took charge and organised the troops necessary to eliminate the accident and "clean up", heading all Ministry of Defence work to eliminate the disaster until relieved by General Ivan Gerasymov. After that, the fucking CHAD lives to 2003, aged 78. His massive balls obv protected him from radiation.
oh, nice catch, mate -- I never noticed it. I thought he did well considering Aussie is just removed Cockney. English chap -- "oy, mate! you come here to die?" Aussie chap -- "Nah, mate! I come 'ere yeste - die!!"
"England is under Threat of Invasion; though we may be on the farthest Side of the World, this Ship is our Home. This Ship is England (or Britain as a whole)."
That’s a good thing. Sugar was a luxury at sea, and since the doctor was still recovering from the gunshot, he was showing kindness through generosity.
Killick has been with Jack through a number of different boats and commissions so is allowed to get away with stuff like he does despite him and Jack having a grumble at the other. HOWEVER... If you look at the singing after the Lesser of Two Weevels gag, Jack gives him a full glass of wine and they nod in respect of each other
The hardest part would be finding a cast and producing something that a woke Hollywood would back and not butcher to make it palatable to modern audiences. Jack would be a black lesbian lady of dubious gender and Stephen a hijab wearing scold.
I think Aubrey saw a lot of himself in the French captain-a worthy opponent that surprised even him. It bordered on Captain Ahab's obsession except Aubrey pulled it off. In the books it's actually an American ship during the war of 1812 right? (The US didn't do too good in that one...lol...it's how we got 'The White House' because we painted it white to cover up the soot from your lot burning it.)
@@Revkorthat's true. Our navy actually acquitted itself well in that conflict. Our army, not so much, although Jackson won a completely militarily meaningless, but overwhelming victory at the Battle of New Orleans.
An interesting question! The black diamond on a white field doesn't seem to be anything historically, including signal flags from the 1799 handbook; it's flown here as part of Surprise's disguise. Trade and military ships of this period would both fly two flags: an ensign and a pennant. They would both fly an ensign on the gaff - where this flag is shown - to show nationality; a military vessel would fly a commission pennant in addition, while trade ships would fly something called a "house pennant" to show what trading house they were working for. Surprise seems to have made this flag from fabric they had aboard (they would carry extra canvas for emergency sails). The movie makes the mistake of having them fly it in place of the ensign, which both trade and military ships had, when they should fly it in place of the Surprise's commission pennant if they wanted to seem like a trade ship.
@@CAL1MBO There is no such signal in the 1790 signal book for Ships of War, which is what was used here! The red diamond on a white field is indeed a signal asking for assistance/disabled, but was only adopted by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization in 1995. So it would be entirely anachronistic here - quite besides the fact that the diamond on this flag doesn't look red at all. I think my original explanation still stands as the most likely option.
For most of the world, Private & Company Merchant ships would often carry some guns to protect against piracy, and many ships would have painted false Gun ports to give the appearance of being more heavily armed than they actually were.. For most of the world’s history, Armed Private ships were far more common and numerous than the official Navies of their respective nations, and would often be given limited authority in protecting the merchant interests of their nations. in fact the allowance of arming of Private/Merchant ships was still commonplace even up into the 1940s, until post war treaties saw the disarmament of civilian vessels in favour of ‘official” protection of National Navies.. A decision which is still rather contentious today; given the rise of modern Piracy around certain continents.
Because Aubrey has disguised the shop as one. He knows that the French are looking for easy prizes , like the whaler they previously sank. Hence the billowing smoke , from theoretically boiling off and rendering the whale blubber.
@@tom-vf1xv In what way is it propaganda? The exploits of Cochrane and Sir Sidney Smith were more daring and dangerous. Give their biographies a read the risk taking and physical courage are off the scale..
@@freebornjohn2687 These days, anything that shows the bravery and sacrifice of white Brits or Americans is "propaganda", "patriarchy" & "white privilege". And for the record before anyone else wibbles in, I'm not white!
I think you misunderstood. The removed the rear wheels to get a higher aim so that they can destroy the topsails. The lack of recoil means they will struggle to reload the cannons. They get one shot and then have to board the ship. That’s how I understood it at least.

What do expect from a country that when war breaks out immediately goes into full production of white flags?

Wouldn’t the gun ports have made the French suspicious? Or were they hidden?
Merchant ships were armed if I remeber correctly just not as armed as a naval first rate
For most of the world, Private & Company Merchant ships would often carry some guns to protect against piracy, and many ships would have painted false Gun ports to give the appearance of being more heavily armed than they actually were.. For most of the world’s history, Armed Private ships were far more common and numerous than the official Navies of their respective nations, and would often be given limited authority in protecting the merchant interests of their nations.
in fact the allowance of arming of Private/Merchant ships was still commonplace even up into the 1940s, until post war treaties saw the disarmament of civilian vessels in favour of ‘official” protection of National Navies.. A decision which is still rather contentious today; given the rise of modern Piracy around certain continents.
so this is what happened in Sea of Thieves
What does the French guy call their ship? English "whaler"? I don't understand very well because of the accent.
Because Aubrey has disguised the shop as one. He knows that the French are looking for easy prizes , like the whaler they previously sank. Hence the billowing smoke , from theoretically boiling off and rendering the whale blubber.
Englizzz zwelleeer diss iz ur lastzz warning!
This ship is England
This entire film makes me so proud to be British, and of our glorious history. Don't believe the woke. Rule Britannia 🇬🇧
Well it is a piece of propaganda, even if its excellently made.
@@tom-vf1xv In what way is it propaganda? The exploits of Cochrane and Sir Sidney Smith were more daring and dangerous. Give their biographies a read the risk taking and physical courage are off the scale..
yes, indeed! Brittania rules!
@@freebornjohn2687 These days, anything that shows the bravery and sacrifice of white Brits or Americans is "propaganda", "patriarchy" & "white privilege". And for the record before anyone else wibbles in, I'm not white!
@@ajmarr5671 people don't realise Rule Britannia was an anti slavery song. Because we ended slavery, before every other empire/nation.
Oh..they take the rear wheels off to reduce recoil and save reload time..but then they had to fire with the rise of the ship on any swell .
Sure sounded good thought didn’t it.
I think you misunderstood. The removed the rear wheels to get a higher aim so that they can destroy the topsails. The lack of recoil means they will struggle to reload the cannons. They get one shot and then have to board the ship. That’s how I understood it at least.
this movie is better than LoTR and all the marvel nonsense. that this is not succesfull indicate the level of intelligence of audience
@@metal_fusion historical movie are impossible to film
I love LOTR and the fact that it was even made at all. But this film is better than ROTK.
