Quick's the word and sharp's the action!
We bring you a discussion on Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, one of the most brilliant historical films ever made (in our humble opinion). Russell Crowe plays the Kirkian Jack Aubrey, commander (and master) of the HMS Surprise up against the most powerful ship in the French navy, the Acheron, depicted with the artistic grace of making it one of cinema's most formidable antagonists.
This is one of our favorite films of all time. And with us to talk about is the color Eliot Greene, a teach of English and History who brings with him an insightful and thorough look into the world setting of Master & Commander, based on the famous book series by Patrick O'Brian. A swashbuckling epic, a brilliant screenplay and one of the most historically accurate films ever made. This is one you definitely want to give more than 5 to (we'd suggest giving it 138).
