CLIP DESCRIPTION:
With the day won, Captain Aubrey (Russell Crowe) gives his 2nd Lieutenant orders and then proceeds to play a musical duet with Stephen (Paul Bettany).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Peter Weir's first turn behind the camera since 1998's critically acclaimed The Truman Show, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is based on two Napoleonic War-era adventure novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, Master and Commander and The Far Side of the World. Russell Crowe stars as Captain Jack Aubrey, a high-seas adventurer who maintains a strong bond with ship-surgeon Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany). After conquering much of Europe already, Napoleon's forces have set their sights on taking Britain, so Aubrey and the crew of his ship, the HMS Surprise, take to the Pacific to intercept any attacking ships from the French fleet. When Aubrey eyes a renegade French super-frigate, the Surprise pursues, leading to an adrenaline-charged chase through the distant reaches of the sea. Edward Woodall, James D'Arcy, and Lee Ingleby also star as members of the Surprise's crew.

This was supposed to be a series but it underperformed at the box office.

It's a masterpiece.

[LexMewthor]

12/10 movie. Not a single flaw. I'll watch this 100 times again over any Marvel movie.

[Stokie]

Still one of my favourite films of all time. Perfect cast, perfect plot (they’re not saving the world it’s just a battle of wits with a crew just like theirs) and authentic drama.

It’s sad they never made more but in some ways that makes it all the more perfect.

[andysmyth]

I remember watching master & commander when I was quite young thinking this is the most long drawn out thing ever, about 10 years later I gave it another go and wondered what my teenage brain was thinking. It's the most beautiful movie ever. Soundtrack, acting and beautifully shot. Funny how the mind sees things differently with age

[califinn]

Jack and Steven's friendship throughout the movie really helps drive the story. They're so different in their personal skills and interests, yet both have a such a great understanding of each other. It's brothers from different mothers...and what's great is Steven's pursuit of naturalist research on Galápagos eventually leads to Jack's inspiration on cracking the Acheron. Great plot turn, and a nice cheeky ending. What happened when Surprise caught up to Captain Pullings? ha ha ha, we'll never know.

[MexicanBagpiper]

Now THIS is historical fiction done correctly.

[vars]

The worst part of this movie is that it ends

[marwaneakef]

i wish they made more movies like this one it's a masterpiece

[jb]

There was almost a blooper at 1:56. He hits the music stand with his cello and then almost bursts out laughing. Nice that they left it in lol

[SeanA]

I love how they switch their musical styles showing how much they’ve learned from each other. Expressing both the conventional and reverent style of music alongside a more “plucky” and creative one

[jessesands]

"The Bird Is Flightless It's Not Going Anywhere"! Brilliant Line from Russell Crowe!🐧⚓⛵

[ergaomnes]

this movie is a masterpiece . u can watch it 200 times and still discover new things, music Bach Vivaldi Boccherini unbeatable!

[donbrynelsen]

The juxtaposition of the two men playing with images of the crew scrambling to battle stations is perfection, the calm before the storm.

[georgeofhamilton]

I love that the violin plucking continues even after Jack stops.

[rosstedfordkendall]

0:17 Love the eye twitch when he realizes he'd been had.

[jacke]

And the fact that these two actually practiced and learned the instruments irl just adds to this movie being amazing!

[Startrooper]

This is by far the best and most realistic movie ever made, the cast is played to perfection.
Well done Peter Weir.

[sanghoonlee]

There was not a bad performance in this movie, and every character no matter how small the part was perfectly cast, right down to how they looked. This 10-second exchange cracks me up.

[penguinboy]

They clearly played a recording for this piece, but Russell Crowe really did learn the violin for this movie. He worked with an instructor every day for three months. He even bought a 19th-century instrument when the film didn't have the budget.

[colinubeh]

They were hunting the Acheron and in the first 2 encounters, they were soundly beaten then chased by the Acheron until they managed to turn the table. One of the best movie I have ever watched.
