Master and Commander is not unprejudiced for Patrick O’Brian fans. Anyone who enjoys action and drama will appreciate this film. It ranges from gargantuan battle scenes with the tang of salt spray to human drama. The principal position involves a cat and mouse game, residence in 1805 during the Napoleonic wars, between Captain Aubrey’s (Russell Crowe’s) ship Surprise and his enemy a French ship Acheron. The Acheron is by far the friendly ship in hurry, size, and firepower. Captain Aubrey has orders to acquire the Acheron, while the French seem all too aware of his orders. The promenade passes around the tip of South America leaving the Atlantic and entering the Pacific Ocean where Acheron will raise money for Emperor Napoleon by raiding English whalers. The sailing is marvelously recreated.
Along for the race we experience sailing, sea tactics, and life on board a ship of this era. The apprenticeship arrive to schooling officers during the Napoleonic era placed children on board fighting vessels. We even peep a brief see of a lesson in navigation Captain Aubrey is giving the young midshipmen. Life in harm’s diagram as the sea becomes a battlefield spares neither young nor mature. The crowding, obsolete food, and mental toll that are a fact of life on vessels that are at sea for long periods of time are graphically portrayed. The mood is lightened by the exhilaration of the hunt and moments of courage, kindness, and Aubrey’s penchant for poor puns, which fans of O’Brian’s books will scrutinize.
Dr. Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany), the side kick of this celebrated duo, provides a counterpoint to Aubrey’s sense of duty. Through him we contemplate medicine of the period grope its intention toward the future. As an amateur naturalist, Dr. Maturin visits the Galapagos Islands mighty as Darwin would have during his renowned hobble on HMS Beagle 30 years after the 1805 date of the movie. In fact, Dr. Maturin’s desire to visit the Islands becomes a source of conflict between himself and the single minded Aubrey. The resolution to the conflict is a measure of the friendship between Dr. Maturin and “Lucky Jack” Aubrey.
“Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” directed by Peter Weir, tells the rousing yarn of HMS Surprise, an English warship sailing around South America during the Napoleonic era. The ship’s captain (played by Russell Crowe) engages in a battle of wits, wills, and firepower with a rival captain during the hazardous sea mosey.

This is a radiant, racy yarn of naval warfare, but it’s also a satisfying and exciting portrayal of a unusual community: the company of a warship. The film is beefy of stirring action scenes, but it is equally rich in the details of the men’s everyday life: their food, shipboard entertainment, naval tradition, etc. It’s a sweaty, muscular portrait that really puts you in the midst of this tantalizing world.
Weir gets ample performances from the tremendous ensemble cast. Crowe won my heart as the captain: he portrays a man who is tough and witty, but also humane and reasonable. Paul Bettany plays the ship’s surgeon, both a trusty friend and verbal sparring partner for the captain; it’s a marvelously realized relationship. The rest of the cast rises to the high heed situation by these edifying performers; Max Pirkis in particular shines as a brave young midshipman.
There are some intense scenes of violence and combat surgery. But this material is not gratuitous, and is handled with care by Weir, who never loses peek of his characters’ humanity. And the film is also about great more than war; it’s also about exploring a distant land and seeing wondrous sights. There are nice moments of humor to balance out the film’s serious themes of military discipline, ethics and tactics. Overall, M&C is a rousing adventure myth, told with heart. As a Navy ragged myself, I’d like to thank and commend all fervent with this film.
