annoyingthemesong:SUBLIME CINEMA #137 - MASTER AND COMMANDER: FAR SIDE OF THE WORLDWith such a florid title and teenage-fantasy marketing, it’s no wonder this film did not too terribly well, but it is a true masterpiece, directed by the great chameleon Peter Weir, who puts all of his skill into the service of this story. It’s a perfect film, with well drawn characters; a magnificient adventure really - and smart as hell. There is no forced emotion here, nothing incongruous. It’s one mesmerizing scene after another. Totally underrated, deserved a sequel. -- source link
