Haha, ok, so I actually thought this movie was about robots :D. Mistakes were made. But watching this was definitely not a mistake, what a great movie!

This week you can also expect the last episodes of The Last of Us and Breaking Bad! :)

Btw. Mary if you ever are in the mood and have the time for this kind of Setting i can recommend Black Sails. Its a TV Show (4 Seasons, 38 Episodes) about the Piratelife in the Caribbean. Very well done. Lord Nelson is, to this day, considered a brilliant Tactician and Strategist for Fleetbattles. Naval Academies around the World are still teaching his Lessons. and more thing about Blakeney, the young blond boy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Blakeney,_1st_Baron_Blakeney Its not the same Person but i think its still interesting that there was a William ´Bill´ Blakeney

"Do you not know that in the service…one must always choose the lesser of two weevils.” Good joke, Lucky Jack!

If your interested in Napoleonic era historical films then probably the definitive one is 'Waterloo' (1970). I can't guarantee it would be your cup of tea, but as a war film its pretty incredible. I don't think a war film like it has been made since or ever will be made again. Rod Steiger's appearance as Napoleon is also one of the best cinematic performances I've ever seen.

Love this movie! I have seen it so many times. So glad you took the request. The story of Mr. Hollom was so sad. He just wasn't cut out to be an officer. He didn't have the temperament. But because he was a gentleman, he wasn't allowed to take a different path. He couldn't just be a regular crewmember. I was worried the first time I watched that the men's superstition would be validated because the wind came back after his death, but I realized that it came back immediately after Jack asked forgiveness for himself and anyone else who had mistreated Hollom and who had "failed him in respect of fellowship." Paul Bettany actually is a musician so his cello playing was genuine. Russell Crowe had never played the violin before this film but he took lessons and practiced endlessly in order to get good enough to actually play the piece. Of course, he did not play as well as the music we heard but he got the finger & bow movements down pretty well. They just dubbed in professional music. "Three lumps" in the tea is lumps of sugar. Killick gave Stephen extra sugar because he was recovering from his wound. A little Marvel connection. We see two Jarvises in this movie. Paul Bettany played the voice of Tony's AI until he became Vision, and James D'Arcy played the original Jarvis in the Agent Carter TV series as well as the one scene in Endgame. Glad you enjoyed it! If you're looking for another Russell Crowe movie, I recommend Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling. It didn't do nearly as well as it deserved at the box office but it's really good.

One of the very best films of the 00's. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. The budget on this film was so massive, it required three separate film studios to finance it. This was director Peter Weir's follow up to THE TRUMAN SHOW.

That was great - I'm glad you finally watched it. It reminds me of your Dances With Wolves reaction. I didn't know you were so disinclined to recommendations but now I know.

I haven't seen this since it was in theaters. lol. Now I have a reason to rewatch

Jack mentioned that director Peter Weir also made The Truman Show, but on top of that, he made Dead Poets Society -- three movies you probably would not think to connect. He has since retired, but he has at least one more major movie you should probably check out, Witness. Harrison Ford is well-known as a movie star, but Witness is one of the few times where he was really recognized for his craft, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. I also think the seamanship and strategy are very similar to the submarine classic The Hunt For Red October, which should fall right in the center of the Venn diagram between this and Das Boot (although Hunt For Red October is definitely more "fun" than Das Boot).

I almost forgot how gRRReat this movie was. I think you nailed it with what pulls you in was all of the moments of feeling like you were living on board the ship and getting to know and connect with the crew. Then it hits you harder as the story progresses as you experience the losses. If you ever make it to San Diego, the HMS Surprise is a part of our Maritime Museum on the bay next to our downtown. It is pretty cool to walk aboard it, as well as The Star of India (the world's oldest active sailing ship).

Another fantastic film, another wonderful reaction Mari!! It cracked me up for tens of minutes to hear you say that you thought the movie was gonna be about robots..... All of the things that I would have comment on, someone else beat me to it, so I shall not bother repeating stuff you already heard EXCEPT to say that you have seen Mr Hollom's actor before, at least once, in the Prisoner of Azkaban, he played Stan Shunpike, the fellar who is on the night bus who talks to Harry about Sirius Black.

And "Witness" is a crime thriller. Don't forget that! With a great romance story too.
