Aubrey-Maturin series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The novel provided much of the overall plot structure for the 2003 Peter Weir film, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, though the USS Norfolk was changed to the French privateer Acheron, and episodes were also taken from other books in the series, including Master and Commander and HMS Surprise. The 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is based on books in this series, notably Master and Commander, HMS Surprise, The Letter of Marque and particularly The Far Side of the World. Master and Commander begins on April 18, 1800 in Port Mahon, Minorca, at that time a base of the Royal Navy. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Master_and_Commander   (4087 words)

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) Like a cannon blast across the bows, Peter Weir& Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a thunderous, almost defiant declaration heralding the arrival of a force to be reckoned with.

Review: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is based on the exploits of characters created by 20th Century author Patrick O'Brian, who wrote 20 novels centered around the adventures of Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and Doctor Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany). Although Master and Commander uses the general plot thrust of O'Brian's The Far Side of the World, it changes and deletes key elements and borrows select details from many of the other books in the series. For the entirety of Master and Commander, they are simply the enemy. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/m/master_commander.html   (1169 words)

“Master and Commander”; Is It Naval History? “Master and Commander," based on British author Patrick O’Brian’s set of 19th-century naval novels, follows Royal Navy Capt. Jack Aubrey (Crowe) and the crew of his ship HMS Surprize as they sail out to see the richness and strangeness of life on the far side of the world, against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. “Master and Commander also did a fine job of illustrating how disguise and deception could be employed with effect in the age of sail," said Brodine. “The Niagara is a brig, so she is smaller and designed differently than the ship used in 'Master and Commander', but all of the commands that I heard in the film with regard to her sailing and handling were the same that I heard, repeatedly,” Hill said. www.news.navy.mil /search/display.asp?story_id=10557   (1068 words)

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003): Reviews Few actors can be as convincing as leaders of men, and to see Crowe as Capt. Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is to see a consummate performer doing what he does best. Oak solid and unsinkable, Master And Commander is old-fashioned entertainment crafted with considerable care; but compared to "Pirates Of The Caribbean's" pleasure cruise, this voyage is choppy and difficult without ever troubling deeper waters. What makes Master and Commander so bracing and transporting -- what makes the movie feel unlike any adventure film you've seen before -- is the precise detail and care with which Weir places us aboard the HMS Surprise. www.metacritic.com /film/titles/masterandcommander   (1659 words)

"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" reviewed by Steve Sailer in The American Conservative "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" tries to lure literate middle-aged men back to the movie theatre by delivering an action blockbuster of rare intelligence and authenticity. After World War I, Churchill wrote, "War, which used to be cruel and magnificent, has now become cruel and squalid." "Master and Commander" depicts war at its most fascinating and least repellent, as a few hundred experts duel in gorgeous machines, with innocent civilians safely away over the blue horizon. Three years after the 1966 death of C.S. Forester, author of the rollicking Horatio Hornblower sea tales, O'Brian published "Master and Commander," raising the Age of Nelson genre to a new plane of literary quality and technical accuracy. www.isteve.com /Film_Master_and_Commander.htm   (755 words)

Movie Photos: Master and Commander In MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD, by director Peter Weir (THE TRUMAN SHOW), it's time to get all dressed up. MASTER AND COMMANDER has plenty of humor in it, as in its weevil race, but it is fundamentally a realistic depiction of what it was like to sail aboard a warship off the coast of Brazil during a time of war. MASTER AND COMMANDER again reminds us of what a brilliant actor he is. www.allmoviephoto.com /photo/2003_Master_and_Commander_photo.html   (673 words)

Master and Commander (Main Page) Master and Commander is available in two editions: the regular edition featuring the classic cover art of Geoff Hunt, and a movie tie-in edition with a cover photo featuring Russell Crowe, star of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Details of a life aboard a man-of-war are faultless rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the roar of broadsides as the great ships close in battle. Even for a reader not especially interested in matters nautical, the author's easy command of the philosophical, political, sensual and social temper of the times flavors a rich entertainment."—Martin Levin, New York Times Book Review www.wwnorton.com /catalog/backlist/master.htm   (349 words)

SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Aubrey's decision to stay the course and repair the ship while at sea rather than returning to port doesn't sit well with the crew, including the ship's surgeon, science officer and friend to the captain, Dr. Stephen Maturin (PAUL BETTANY). While tracking the course of the Acheron, Aubrey pushes the crew - that includes coxswain Barrett Bonden (BILLY BOYD), Lt. Tom Pullings (JAMES D'ARCY), uncertain midshipman Hollom (LEE INGLEBY) who doesn't have the respect of those under him, sailing master Mr. MAX PIRKIS plays the young midshipman who has his arm amputated but nevertheless assists the doctor in his scientific collections and the captain in his battle. www.screenit.com /movies/2003/master_and_commander_the_far_side_of_the_world.html   (1883 words)

MASTER AND COMMANDER The first in a wonderfully entertaining series, Master and Commander introduces us to Captain Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, a friendship that I can only characterize as a swashbuckling Odd Couple set in the Royal Navy of the Napoleanic era. But for a phalanx of fans of British author Patrick O'Brian's high-seas stories -- which "The New York Times" has called "the best historical novels ever written" -- no movie is more eagerly anticipated than "Master and Commander", opening next Friday. As I hear it, the movie will not actually use the plot of this novel, but instead the plot of a later book in the series:The Far Side of the World. www.the-crowes-perch.com /Fmandc.htm   (211 words)
