Thank you for this. It was a great film.

stupid hashemite. in the end they are being swindled by the west . the sykes picot agreement.

I'll need to bite my tongue on the Wernher von Braun slander lest I get branded the A word, but otherwise great video.

This might be a mandela effect but this is the first time i have ever heard of this movies exitence. I watched so many analysees of Kubriks work, and this pievce was never mentioned once.

The hotel's maze is a computer chip that has taken over our lives. We are doomed!

on choosing the lesser of 2 evils. early in the film, captain "lucky" jack has to choose between getting a new mast, and having an intact ship. Or holding the current mast together and waiting till they return home or finish their mission. he chooses to prolong the repair and instead to chase the french ship. We see the direct consequence in the passage/storm scene. it took me 3 watches to catch the fact that scenes that were so small, whose purposes are initially thought to worldbuild are called back on. initially we dont even pay mind to the young officer at the front of the ship who spotted the french ship. we dont pay attention to the prepubescent officers in training who run around and command their gun crews. we dont pay attention to the small intricacies of the film because we are so captivated by the action that it completely slips our mind that there could be something deeper. i think thats the best part about this film. each rewatch you can watch a different charachter. watch their actions and interactions. you can see how even on the most minute level they impact the plot.

Brilliant. Thanks.

You can't compare them without bringing in the other two LOTR movies as those feed and lead into the thirds story and writing.

I saw this in the theater when I was a little kid and loved it. Visually mesmerizing.

This is a masterpiece through & through, I saw it in the military @ the theatre. It had dethroned my favorite period piece Barry Lyndon. 11 outta 10

if you actually read lolita then you will realize how badly kubrick adapted the book into his film. in regards to lolita being somehow the evil of the film, this very idea highlights the issue with kubrick’s film. nabokov wrote humbert as an unreliable narrator that depicts delores as a seductress. he intended for humbert’s pov to be likely untrue or manipulated and for lolita to be an obvious victim that never seduced the narcissistic and depraved humbert. on top of this nabokov vocally expressed his disdain for kubrick’s film which just completely fetishized the relationship between humbert and delores.

One of the most pretentious movies ever made, and comprising the most wooden acting by actors who should have known better, because they believed they were creating 'art'. No windows Nicole and Tom broke up after this. They bored each other to death.

So let's just look at Wednesday 14:02...Very subliminal

mac > lodr? blasphemy, its a great movie sure, but come on, no.

This movie was made at the perfect time. It was modern enough to not be cosidered "old" (especially after changing the way actors talked in movies after 1986) But the cinematography is still aged enough to have that 80s-90s grit look

Jack was an English Professor who drank to suppress his own shining (Dr Sleep confirms this). He lost his job because he had been drinking and he beat up a student for messing with his car.

Thanks for showcasing this particular Caravaggio painting, which I’ve never seen before. I’ve been drawn to his work because of its visceral immediacy. Your analysis has made me see Caravaggio in a new light (no pun intended), as a believer as well as a brawler. He couldn’t have painted religious figures like John with such insight and intensity otherwise.

No movie with a setting in the Napoleonic era would ever be able to best Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, as it was also the case. Master and Commander is an AMAZING film -- the best film with a navy theme since Gregory Peck and the Film Hornblower.

And NO artificial light

Without a doubt, one of the best movies of the 2000s and it has stood the test of time. I wish there were more movies like this.

I know I'm very late I will say this about both movies LOTR hasn't held up to well to age but master and commander is still a gorgeous watch till this day

Seems more like just a portrait of British and western imperialism and colonialism in southwestern Asia

The idea of being on a submarine scares the hell out of me, but I couldnt imagine the absolute terror of being on a sub during WWII

Great work. Thank you for this. 🎉🔥💯

Whether it was a bias or not Kubriks portrayal of the Upper Classes shows how ridiculous they were.At least a peasants life on the edge of starvation,is excusable.

The movie battle scenes make you feel like you're there with them. It's by far one of the greatest films I've ever witnessed.

Dangerous person he had been. All of his aspirations had been the gay inclinations. And arabic world had been the very right place for all his ambitions including his sexual preferences. Don't make of him an icon.

You should have compared it to the book he wrote, Seven Pillars of Wisdom. What you say here is David Lean and Co's imaginative psychology: the book is completely different. I'm reading it now!!

Completely agree. It is an utterly marvellous film.

GREAT CALL!! This is just batsh*t insane... there's a sexual psychology that unfolds like a BF Skinner/Hellraiser puzzle box, and you're ALWAYS missing pieces....

An excellent piece & I humbly, nay *strongly*, recommend our hero locate (devour?) a copy of Kathleen Norris's "Acedia & Me" (Penguin Press; 2008), a brilliant study, by a poet, no less, of the origins of the word itself, it's various uses throughout history, and it's affect on Western culture now. Not even remotely as dry as it sounds.

This is not based on a script it is based on a series of books. What makes them great is their realism. The officers on the ship would almost definitely all be nobility. Baywood for the most part look on the enlisted the way they look on farm animal s. And a good portion of that crew would have literally been kidnapped and enslaved. The reason the captain blogged the man for not saluting is that is that level of discipline is required to keep the slaves in line. This is not the philosophical debate do you think it is. The scientist on board by the way is directly meant to represent Darwin. The most unrealistic part of this movie is how friendly and caring the captain is towards his crew. Able discipline especially was extreme the officers would be aristocrats and generally treated the enlisted like you would farm animals. There is a book about a shipwreck where two officers and three sailors were stranded on an island. During the entire ordeal at no point in the officers before any labor or do anything to 8 in their survival. Instead they play demand built this better quarters and bring them food and water while doing nothing. Do you have listed especially one sound food and water build better shelters and even created cement to build an oven. When they return the captain wrote a book taking credit for their survival while doing absolutely nothing.

What do you think of human? Are we more similar to Satan or more similar to Angel? I have only been around here for almost 50 years. The longer I live the more I feel human is closer to Satan than to Angel, character-wise. We make fun of Satan cowardice, a lot of us are cowards.

It is not a very interesting story.

Jack uses the phrase "white man's burden" to express his frustrations and grievances, particularly about his family responsibilities and perceived societal pressures. His casual and somewhat mocking use of the phrase contrasts sharply with its historical connotations, underscoring his deteriorating mental state and his growing disconnection from reality and social norms.

Although I loath both leads I respect Kubrick as a bonafide cinematic genius so coz of this I’ll watch it. Hope it’s worth it!?!

when man makes plans, God laughs at them.

As US Navy Chief I love this movie, and own it, well worth the buy, I hope there is a sequel someday!

The film that never stops giving.

My son’s first name is Jack and his middle name Aubrey. When i suggested that combination to my then wife she had no idea where I got the idea from but she liked it. Then the movie came out…

I have given a DVD copy every Christmas to someone I like or whom I thought would appreciate it. Epic good film and story and authentic characters. My other favorite - I have a movie poster from this film -- 1949 - Twelve O'Clock High. My father was in the Army Air Force - my Uncle Glen was a pilot on a B-25 and stayed in the reserves for three decades. The film is one of the best portrayals of exactly how much even a strong man can take before they crack. My favorite Gregory Peck movie ever - Dean Jagger - Gary Merrill superb.

I first saw it 20 years ago on a shitty DivX. I rewatched it last year and it automatically entered my list of best 20 movies I've seen. Beautiful movie, where the ship is the real protagonist. I'd love to be able to see it in a cinema

Greatest film I’ve ever seen!

There is a figure in the masked ball that had an personalized looking mask on that had a familiar nose shape. It was supposedly Bob Hope. Interesting hmmmm?

This film is what goes on in the Illuminati parties.. and it’s only barely touching the depth!

Man is this been a very good breakdown

There's all kinds of symbolism in this movie, and you have to wonder what was in the 30 minutes that was cutout.

They are both great films, I don't see the need to say one is better than the other. Especially since they are not really comparable.

The author of the book the movie was made from was Patrick O’Brian. He wrote a whole series following Lucky Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin. Great series and a fine author.
