Master and Commander
David In Indy:
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
