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.

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.

[@andrewwaldock]

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.

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.

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.

2:58 - what type of flag was that?

[@anguswilson1619]

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.

[@thelonetacoj6487]

[@anguswilson1619]

@@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.

I'm glad there's a legit reasoning for it, and makes me love the movie even more.

[@dylanwight5764]

At sea? Not at all. It's accepted that disguising one's vessel is a valid tactic of sea warfare. The core principle being that during war, any vessel can serve any purpose at any time. Auxiliary or Armed Merchant Cruisers, for example, carried out two duties as both merchants and raiders while affording themselves and their fellows a credible defense against opposing raiders. After all, it is accepted that the vastness of the world's oceans makes it impossible to provide an escort for every single vessel at sea over all the world's sea routes. Thus obscuring one's lethality is itself a valid means to defend oneself. A whaler named Syren could conceivably be refitted as an auxiliary cruiser during times of war and so it is impossible to distinguish her from a warship named Surprise disguised as a whaler. This is why maritime intelligence gathering is so crucial to any nation's seaborne war effort. If your information is wrong, you might lose your ship or your crew. And every captain is ultimately responsible for the wellbeing of his ship and his crew. So he is permitted to do whatever is necessary, within the rules of war, for him to carry out his orders and return safely to port.
