I think the section starting at around 5:52 is one of the coolest classically influenced pieces of music in modern history. What a fabulous, fabulous movie! The score, as amazing as it is (esp Yo Yo Ma's playing of Bach's Cello Suite #1) is only complimented by the masterful visuals and story line, particularly the conflict/freinship between Russell Crow's Captain Aubrey and Paul Bettany's Dr. Maturin.
Do you guys know if there's a version of this song that just contains the parts from 6:00 and onward? I think it's the music that comes on when the doctor sees the Acheron in the Galapagos.
The movie was awesome, but I still don't like this soundtrack. I believe if they had chosen "Vangelis" or "James Newton Howard" or even "James Horner", the soundtrack would have been a way better than this unorganized set of musical notes.
@alexandriaskylines I agree Master and Commander is the probably the best film I have seen in years, also the best that Russell Crowe has starred in and I can and do watch it often, and it always seems fresh to me, as to your comment re the soundtrack I think even Vangellis would say that he could not have improved on the score, I am a fan of his but I have very varied musical tastes and always tell people who say they do not like classical music that they should listen to more
This might be the best action movie I've ever seen, right up there with Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Makes me want to take up sailing.....
@tehDevious Agreed...enough with the fictional characters. He more than qualifies for his own miniseries. I recommend checking out 'I Remember Nelson' from the 1980s
makes me sad that there is already a FINISHED script for a sequel and a highly interested russell crowe for that project but still... the studios dont give it green lights because they think 10 oscar nominations and over 200 million gross revenue arent enough....
they could make a movie for every one of Patrik O'Brien's Aubrey-Maturin books and if they were even half as good as the original ited be the greatest series of movies ever. id buy them all.
my beloved country really. you naughty boy.. take a history book and read how gay my ancestors were. by the way, homophobia often indicates strong homosexuell feelings and we all know how homophobic america is. Good luck and good night america.
@banmen0w This is a fine piece of cinematic film making as with all Weir films.
However there is plenty of room for someone to make a decent biopic of Nelson if they could get a decent script and be able to condense a man's life into three or so hours and his motivations.
is the movement which starts at 6mins a seperate piece? because that is played at one of the best moments of the film and i would like to know the name of it
Please, where can I find more naval movies of this level? Theyre so scarce. I dont mind if theyre fantasy, as long as its not some ridicule kiddy crap like Pirates of Caribbean which pains the eye.
@robinbanks999 , Really!¡¡!¡!¡, everyone knows this Brit Officer of the Royal Navy, there are many monument about him, here in Valparaiso. He was part of the Chilean Navy, Almirante Lord Cochrane. We admire him because he is one of our heroes.
Question: was Valparaiso a prison for French prisoners? because Lucky Jack sent those prisoners to my dear city Valparaiso.
@sispor1 totally agree ive watched it about 10 times and i rank it really really high and cant belive how people can say its a bad and boring movie, and the second great thing about the movie is the music it really open up my ears for classical music
history is written by the victors. und es wäre nicht hulk gewesen (strahlenunfall) und auch nicht spiderman (wissenschaftsunfall) sondern captain america :)
dont forget. in the original story the tommys hunted an american ship. i think the burgerlovers wouldnt like that. so the frogheads were in there place. Yeah america makes the best propaganda :). hollywood. sweet dreams.
Wenn die Amis im Film gewesen wären, wären im letzten Moment Spider Man und der Hulk gekommen und hätten das Gefecht zugunsten der Amerikaner entschieden..klare Sache..let's change history..who cares?
@ROTwein234 Actually the movie is based on three novels in the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian, in which Commander Jack Aubrey searches for *French* merchants. The timeline is during the Napoleonic Wars -- conflicts against the French. The novels themselves were based on Thomas Cochrane, senior British naval officer during the Napoleonic Wars. Next time you insult a country, get your facts right, first Dx
@ROTwein234 But a fair point to make is it is more logical that they are hunting a french ship attempting to bring the Napoleonic War into Pacific waters, which would ignite a whole nother massive, and expensive, conflict, amongst colonial holdings. And the American Navy back then? Not a very challenging adversary compared to the monstrous British Navy
The American Navy may not have been as large as the British Navy, but the American Navy Frigates like the USS Constitution or as she is commonly known as "Old Iron Sides" were the most advanced Frigates of the era. The British Navy actually ordered their Frigates to no longer engage American Frigates in one on one combat.
@MACLEA1987 The reason for this was that the U.S. frigates were really designed to be small ships of the line or super-frigates. While almost all British frigates of the time were 900 tons or less and armed with between 28 and 32 guns, the American frigates, such as the Constitution were 1,576 tons, and carried as many as 60 guns, many of them heavier.
my beloved country really. you naughty boy.. take a history book and read how gay my ancestors were. by the way, homophobia often indicates strong homosexuell feelings and we all know how homophobic america is. Good luck and good night america.

@ROTwein234 In response you are correct, it was to be an American vessel they were pursuing. In Naval History only two American ships were ever captured. The most recent the USS Pueblo by N. Korea in Viet Nam. I think this was to be a depiction of the very first one? I could be wrong. But One thing you fail to realize, Canada (for instance) has taken Shows like Airwolf, Star Trek, X-files, House, 24, etc.. They make the US look bad. They changed it from American to French due to 9/11.

id kinda be up for a sequal, but most sequals as we all know, suck, and this movie is good enough as it is as a stand-alone classic and brilliant movie. pirates of the carribean, though fun and has the great johnny depp, doesnt hold a candle to this wonderful film!!!! oh, and i love this music; this track is by far the best on the soundtrack.
@Gawaine687 They already raided at least three of the books to come up with the storyline for M & C. It's hard to see what book they could use for a basis for a sequel, ,so it would end up being pure invention. The chances are they wouldn't half as well.
I personally love the Boccherini "Madrid Night Watch" piece that Stephen and Jack play at the end of the film... pure magic.
@motoryachtkarilla well since they raided from 3 random ones already, i imagine they could cobble something else together. trouble is that it's near impossible for lightning to strike twice. but i agree with the boccherini. the 9 minute track is cumbersome, but the lively part they play is wonderful!!!
@updagrove yeah, i know. ive read a little bit of each series and like them both. but part of making a good sequal to this, i think, is pulling together concepts from different books to make a good sequal. then again, by doing that the potential sequal would probably be more original and not merely tied to the familiar conventions of this movie as most sequals are, if you see what i mean.
A sequel would work, as the movie is based on a book series. There are twenty books in the series to choose from (this movie is based on the tenth, if memory serves).
@multibottler0cket the first and the tenth, apparently. yes there is a lot of material, so a potential sequal is not necessarily dependant upon the first, but the trick is to reinvent and top the first, or at least rival it.
7:00 ~ WOW!!!!!

id kinda be up for a sequal, but most sequals as we all know, suck, and this movie is good enough as it is as a stand-alone classic and brilliant movie. pirates of the carribean, though fun and has the great johnny depp, doesnt hold a candle to this wonderful film!!!! oh, and i love this music; this track is by far the best on the soundtrack.

@Gawaine687 They already raided at least three of the books to come up with the storyline for M & C. It's hard to see what book they could use for a basis for a sequel, ,so it would end up being pure invention. The chances are they wouldn't half as well.
I personally love the Boccherini "Madrid Night Watch" piece that Stephen and Jack play at the end of the film... pure magic.

@motoryachtkarilla well since they raided from 3 random ones already, i imagine they could cobble something else together. trouble is that it's near impossible for lightning to strike twice. but i agree with the boccherini. the 9 minute track is cumbersome, but the lively part they play is wonderful!!!

@Gawaine687 this movie was based off of a pair of books that were apart of a series
the series was similar to the hornblower book series
there are certainly available follow ups to this

@updagrove yeah, i know. ive read a little bit of each series and like them both. but part of making a good sequal to this, i think, is pulling together concepts from different books to make a good sequal. then again, by doing that the potential sequal would probably be more original and not merely tied to the familiar conventions of this movie as most sequals are, if you see what i mean.

@Gawaine687
A sequel would work, as the movie is based on a book series. There are twenty books in the series to choose from (this movie is based on the tenth, if memory serves).

@multibottler0cket the first and the tenth, apparently. yes there is a lot of material, so a potential sequal is not necessarily dependant upon the first, but the trick is to reinvent and top the first, or at least rival it.

at the end of the film, why Jack says to Surprise change his course and back to escort Acheron, just because the french doctor had died?

@LeozinhoPlaybass Becasuse the french doctor, who they saw in the Acheron, really was the Acheron´s captain

No, the "doctor" was actually the captain of the Acheron.
