Movies: Master and Commander
I went to this yesterday on our unusual day off here at BU and it was absolutely excellent. I have only read the first few books in the Patrick O'Brian series of books on the naval war in the Napoleonic area and honestly didn't love them but this movie seems like a pretty perfect job to me of transferring the books to film. Aubrey and Maturin both come off correctly and an excellent job is done of portraying life at sea, particularly for the officers. Crowe particularly does a great job as Aubrey with all the necessary charisma and confidence 'lucky Jack' has. Highly recommended ****1/2 and should definitely be seen on the big screen.
