one of the funniest things in all of the aubrey-maturin books (to me) is when jack has to babyproof his day cabin so stephen doesn’t fall out the stern window again.

It's a bit frustrating to look at the Aubrey-Maturin tag and be deluged with gifs from the movie. Now I like the movie, it was my introduction the series as giddily presented to me by my grandmother when it hit theatres (her copies of the series are over on my left), and if half of it hadn't been filmed on now-awful-looking 2K digital film, I'd love it even more: the cinematography is excellent. Russel's Crowe's Jack Aubrey is about as good as we are likely to get from Hollywood: he's nowhere near fat enough, he's nowhere near scarred enough, he's not nearly taut enough with his officers and men (because somebody probably complained it made him sound 'mean' if it even reached the script stage—several times in the film he lets his officers give their opinions, which goes against Jack's character), and he honestly not nearly goofy enough (the famous weevil crack is about the most we get), but all in all it's a good performance for a Hollywood flicker and it acquits itself well. It's the Jack in Heroic mode we essentially get throughout, and I get the motivations behind it even if it lacks the complexity of the character I love. But Paul Bettany's performance as Maturin is frustrating. First, its offensive in and of itself to cast as an Irishman an Englishman who is so English his father is godfather to the wife of Prince Edward. You wouldn't know Bettany's Maturin was Irish (much less half-Spanish) if he didn't expressly say so in the picture. For a character so inextricably Irish to just be an Englishman is very vexing. He looks like Stephen Maturin even less than Russel Crowe looks like Jack should: he's much too handsome, much too well-dressed, and far too pleasant. None of Stephen's peevish waspishness makes it into the movie: at best FilmStephen mopes, and none of his cutting wit, far less his erudition, really makes it to the screen. Part of the problem, of course, is the same issue that inflicts every Jane Austen adaptation too: a distinct refusal by the part of filmmakers to depict an era with such a different understanding of intimacy among the upper classes. Even O'Brian struggled with this, as I once heard an interview where a historian complained that in the early books it was downright promiscuous how often O'Brian's characters shook hands. So of course both characters come off as less-formal on screen than they do in the books. But the movie flattens all of Stephen's wrinkles out, leaving him a caricature of his dynamic, prickly, funny, often dangerously drug-hazed, Butcher of Boston, sometimes stuffy, sometimes radical, always sui generis self. It's not a bad performance, Bettany does what he can with the material he's given, but the character on screen is decidedly not Señor Esteban Maturin y Domanova, MD.

rewatching “Master and Commander” through the lens of Jack and Stephen’s playing music as their version of passionately making out is definitely the funniest way to watch the film. no music equals mom and dad are fighting, meanwhile when they do play the steward is rolling his eyes on the other side of the wall like “christ, they’re at it again” 😆

#one day the steward hands jack his violin case and says #best to be using protection sir 🤨 #and jack just dies inside while mumbling thank you #master and commander #the far side of the world #jack aubrey #stephen maturin #aubreyad

I love one pharmacological mess. Stephen is hovering on the verge of death for days, only to wake up as soon as snuff gets spilled on him.

Top 10 Standalone Films

Number 1:

Master and Commander: Far side of the World

This is it. The best one. Historically, thematically, emotionally... this movie tells a story about a captain, a doctor, and the crew of a ship very far from home. Adventure and glory, sorrow and heartache, the beautiful scenery is perfectly juxtaposed with the intensity of naval warfare happening on the other side of the world. The characters are compelling and the drama feels real. I have not found a better film to watch yet. This movie has more than one surprise for you.

Master & Commander remains an excellent movie (still slaps after all these years) but I checked out the book and y'all-- it was *WILD*

This reminds me of a line from The Far Side of the World by Patrick O’Brian, where the character Stephen Maturin throws a batch of portable soup overboard, describing it as “common glue”.

How it started: “I just need to look at a single screenshot from Master and Commander to find out what Jack’s handwriting looks like”

How it’s going: “Oops I spent 2.5 hours making 300+ new screenshots of Jack Aubrey”

How it will end: “I shall post them all on Tumblr, some of them getting a Photoshop makeover”

Good Morning, World.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #'Good Morning World' because to wwx the jiang household is what grounds him. It is his burrow and blanket. #The familiar soup and banter is his home. The familiar arguments and tension are also his home. #Notice how quickly he throws LWJ to the side once he has JC back in reach! 'He was so boring; I wish *you* were there!' #WWX is very quick to constantly remind himself that he fits within a very specific power structure and role. #He pushes boundaries but almost always only the boundaries that he knows he can push against. #Sitting here now and realizing that if WWX did take life more seriously and act more diligent he would totally usurp JC. #Because the contrast with Them (tm) is wwx is the one that gets in trouble and JC is the one that sticks to the rules. #That responsible appearance especially in contrast is the thin line that holds JC's self-esteem together. #And lets be fully honest. From JC's perspective the last week was also extremely intense and stressful. #It truly was a feat to travel so far so fast despite also being exhausted. Never knowing if it is all in vain. #JC said with his actions 'I would move mountains for you and dig through stone with my bare hands if it meant reaching you.' #and WWX said '[read]' #It's about wwx chronically asking 'why would someone care for me? I'm always tool to be used' than accepting that people love him.
