thewhyteboar Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hell yeah. This and Hunt for Red October are the two best dad movies out there. Whenever I'm at a playground with my daughter and climbing up the jungle gym I always mutter to myself "beat to quarters" to myself. Luckily my daughter is too little to know what a massive dork I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I need to watch this again. I think I was too young to appreciate it when it hit theaters. Same with Thin Red Line which I’ve gone back and watched and absolutely changed my mind about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Red Line is one of those films you almost have to be of a certain age to appreciate, as I too watched when it was first out & I was but in my early 20s, having seen it recently, it's a whole other experience & meticulous in its intention to discover quiet moments of peace & calm in life (at least that's what I got out of it.) As for Master & Commander, genuinely have loved this film since first seeing it in theaters all those years ago. I continue to be hopeful that perhaps Criterion will give this film its fair due & provide a sensational 4K alongside a slew of new supplemental materials & interviews & commentaries even. Nearly always throw this on whenever I'm channel surfing & see it on, I can jump in at any point in this film & be completely at peace.

It's the only thing I (maybe) know about it: No that is from Les Miserables. And I love Master and Commander, always have. I've shown my wife the movie at least twice, and my brothers even, and none of them understand why I love this movie so much, or why a lot of men do. What a moving, beautiful film. I used to watch the movie like every other year since it came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 My uncle used to sail on antique sailing ships like the Star of India ("The world's oldest active sailing ship") in addition to recording albums of sea shanties (he played the squeezebox). He took sailing and historical accuracy very seriously. Master and Commander was easily his favorite film. I care much less that it's accurate and just love it as a film, but it's kind of nice to know that it really is as real as it feels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is gonna inspire a rewatch. Watched it recently so good. I never cared for naval warfare until my boy got me into World of Warships. Only negative is no sequels and the conflicted of a Teaboo and a Napoleon lover at the same time. Can't figure out how to square that tbh.

Emblazon Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The lesser of two weevils. And the DVD was the long running standard for showing off any home theater sound system. One of the best 5.1 mixes ever created, especially the opening scene where you feel like you're on the deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a RN frigate I think vs a French frigate. It seems to be a reasonable accurate Age of Sail war movie basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Master and Commander is one of the best movies ever made. The only reason it didn't get Best Picture was because it came out the same year as Return of the King. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it in a while. I think I know what I'm watching tonight.
