Master and Commander

I LOVE Master and Commander! I loved the movie so much I ended up buying the DVD!

I really enjoyed the music. The movie featured "The Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G" by J.S. Bach which is one of my favorites to play on the cello.

I also love to play Concerto Grosso Op. 6 by Corelli on the violin; another work featured in the movie.

The film is well acted and the scenery is spectacular.

I love any movie about those large wooden sailing ships of the past. If you enjoyed "Master and Commander" you might also like "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson.  :D

Wow, David, I am so out of it I didn't even know you played cello and violin!

Yeah Katherine, I've played the cello since I was 10 and the violin and piano since I was 8.  :D

I guess I'm one of those "music geeks"!  ;)

Yeah, my dirty little slashy mind came up with all kinds of scenarios for their 'friendship'.  :-* :-*

Another little tidbit I liked.  When Aubrey is helping with the operation - you guys know what part I'm talking about - if you have DVD, slow mo through the scene and watch Russell Crowe's face.  The myriad of tiny expressions on his face flow by, a very convincing scene of a man trying to keep his yuck reaction to himself.  The man is a very physical actor.  He acts with his entire body.  Wonderful.

Gee, if it's that good, I guess it's about time I unwrapped the DVD and actually watched it!  :laugh:

There's this other movie starring another Aussie kinda keeps getting in the way. ...  ;D
