Oh wow I've never seen anyone react to this brilliant movie! I'm sensing a trend for what you like. Epic period drama/action movies. Which is why I can't wait for you to get to RRR as soon as possible, which pretty much shits on every movie in the genre (if it's still on your list). Anyway, Peter Weir is a very underrated director, his filmography is full of classics!

Haven't seen this movie yet but hear it's very good! Can't wait to see it. Also, I hope we get to see Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions!) soon :D! Seeing Billy Boyd as Bonden (He plays Pippen/Peregrin Took in LotR) was an absolute treat. Thanks MRLBoyd as always :).

If you see where's the young midshipman is wounded. Not only was the arm broken but there were massive wooden splinters in the forearm. And with sanitation being what it was at the time he developed an infection. You can see that the forearm was gangrenous when they took him in for the surgery. It was the only way to save the young midshipmans life. Also it is the French ship that is based off the USS Constitution not the HMS Victory.

At the time, especially concerning military medicine out in the field, if you had a broken limb that was broken in more than one place, a compound fracture of any kind, there was nothing for it but amputation. It's nothing like modern medicine where your arm could be basically shattered and they could still set all the bits of bone to where they can knit naturally.

It's at night, with no moon, The Acheron's not close enough to distinguish that raft from the HMS Surprise. Captain Jack is betting they'll be well enough gone to have lost the Acheron by the time they get close to the raft to realize their mistake. As for why they fled, they mentioned multiple times that the Acheron had 'the Weather Gauge', and even explained what that meant during the dinner scene. (Whoever has 'The Weather Gauge' in an engagement has the more favorable winds, and the Surprise is so far behind the 8-ball compared to the Acheron in so many other aspects that trying to fight with the winds against them would literally be self-deletion)

So excited to watch this one along with you dude! This is one of my favorite movies. As a history buff myself, I’d have to say that this film depicts life at sea for these sailors in the early 19th Century as accurately as possible. While the story line itself is loosely based off of a real historical figure in the British Navy, and not historically accurate, the rest of the details in this film are impeccable when it comes to historical representation.
