I randomly showed this movie in my World History class a few years ago after my students did two full days of state testing. They were exhausted and we were wrapping up our Napoleonic Wars unit. I put it on thinking none of them would watch it, but it would at least be some background noise while they worked on missing assignments and it was relevent to our unit. ALL of my students were glued to the screen, not a phone in sight, just fully invested in the story of Jack Aubrey and the HMS Surprise. I was happy to learn that one of my students picked up the first two books while out shopping at Barnes & Noble with his mom and by the time he graduated last year he read the entire series.

@@ozzyphil74 This series and the earlier "Hornblower" series by C.S. Forrester got me hooked into naval history. I first read "Captain Horatio Hornblower" some 60 years ago and then started the "Master and Commander" series right after I started my own Navy career. This movie deserves a well written and performed sequel.

I completely agree with you but for the opening scene I have just one major gripe - the camera angle of the view of the Acheron during the close fight. The vignetting suggests it's through the telescopes on the Surprise, but we see the Acheron almost bow-on while firing. Should've either done away with the vignette, so it looks like a normal movie audience's view, or taken from a realistic angle (like when observing Surprise's shot bounce off Acheron and Acheron returns fire at the quarterdeck)

Sadly this film flopped at the box office. It was released at the same time as Return of the King and every award it was nominated for and lost went to RotK. Also, it was released just a few months after Curse of the Black Pearl. Crowe has said he’d return for a sequel. But sadly, the film only has a small fan base and I don’t think a studio would risk $150-200M on building practical ships or even CGI chips, especially after the strikes last year.

​​​​@@brutusbarnabus8098 that was not grapeshot, it is regular round shot, it's too far away for grape. If you pause the video at the right place you can see the round balls flying just above deck. The crew lays down because round shot is deadly as fuck too and the Acheron fires along the length of the Surprise, which has a potential of causing many causalities. Fortunately, Surprise takes the salvo straight to the bow which is a very sturdy part of the ship. That's why this salvo does do comparatively little damage compared to the broadsides delivered later in this scene which go right into the starboard side of the Surprise and takes out Tom and several gun crews.
@andywhysall6744
@andywhysall6744 Жыл бұрын
Bearing in mind that Acheron's view of Surprise is as good as the view the other way that we see, it's a miracle that any of Acheron's first broadside hit Surprise at all. But even two or three good hits from her main battery could have dome epic damage to Surprise. I enjoy looking out for shredded anachronistic plywood that appears as battle damage... But it's such a good movie I can forgive it anything. You might be disappointed learn that the real Acheron was a British bomb ship (big mortar and a few light guns) converted from a merchantman. Was burned after she and HMS Arrow put up a bit of an epic fight to prevent two French heavy frigates capturing their convoy.

In the end to defeat the Acheron, Captain Aubrey must bend and adapt his own rules and ideas of naval warfare. Aiming high as opposed to aiming low in the first fight, disguising themselves as a whaler to draw the enemy closer and symbolically, he tells the crew no saluting after flogging a seamen for not saluting earlier. Not standing on tradition in this case appeared to be the lesser of two "weevils"

Oh god yes! I mean the carnage of that kind of warfare was horrific, from the injuries to the infections that followed, if you were lucky, or unlucky enough to survive. But there is undeniably a certain majesty and awe-inspiring sight, to see too immovable tall titans, pummel away at each other, belching smoke and fire, as if each gunport was a gateway to hell itself. The ships themselves, finely crafted labors of love, some even adorned with ornamentation and sculptures by some of the most skilled artists of their time, though this was more true for vessels built in the 17th and 18th centuries.

A lighter, smaller ship would have to work towards a stern or bow rake, if possible. it's lighter armament could be reloaded faster and put more rounds into the enemy. Later in the Napoleonic era, smaller vessels would have a pair of carronades, which would have lethal firepower in close engagements. Skill in sail-handling and manning the ship would often be the decisive factor in a running fight.

Just the bell? They beat drums to quarters a minute or two before the bell..you don't think the French heard that?

Something about the tiller, then he orders someone to "collect these wounded".

Mowett is ordering relieving tackles to be placed on the tiller. When the pair of tackles is hooked to the tiller they helped in steering when the wheel or tiller rope was shot away.

What I would give to have a 4K release of this movie. It was shot on film so it's technically possible, it would just need enough demand for the studio to think it's worthwhile...I can dream.

The Acheron was a computer generated model of 'the Constitution.' 44 guns, 24 pounder frigate. Truly "out of our class."

1:05 Old salty sailor Mr Joe Plaice. He's kind of important 1:40 Cannon shot wiped out the gun crew. Gun deck commander Lieutenant Pulling knocked out. 1:45 Midshipman Hollum was unhurt though. It became a cause of tension in the plot. 1:52 Midshipman (leter Ensign) Calamy asked Midshipman Blakeney to get the captain to take over the gun deck 2:19 Shots from Surprise bounced off Acheron's hull 2:28 Mizzenmast top sail collapsed and broke Midshipman Blakeney's arm. Stray pulley broke Joe Plaice's skull (the guy who had HOLD FAST tattooed on his fingers. He survived this and the surgery after) 2:32 Sub-Lieutenant Mowatt maintaining order on deck 2:40 Captain knew something was off. Passed command to Midshipman Calamy, before getting a concussion.

What makes you think they'd repair battle damage? As long as she floated and was able to return home, the damage was for the shipyard to deal with.

I would recommend the Patrick O'Brian novels on which this film is based. They're a fascinating portrayal of life in the Royal Navy in the 19th century and based largely on fact. Whilst this film is a compilation of 'snatches' from O'Brian's series of novels (there are eighteen Aubrey/Maturin novels and they'll keep you reading for months) the film and this sequence does them justice.
