A "Master and Commander" question:

63.176.25.16

did you think the long, pivotal dinner scene (it established the relationship of captain to officers and crew) was well written?
Specifically, did you find the telling of the joke funny, or the stories about Nelson particularly well written or delivered?
Also, after reading so much about the care given to authentic cannon and musket sounds, to sea water individualities of appearance, and to ship construction, I was disappointed with the results.
For realism, it's hard to beat the real thing: rent "Mutiny on the Bounty" if you wish to see what a real ship was like--- and what men on a real island look like.
And I gotta mention the damn color, or lack of it. For most of the movie, I thought I was watching a soggy version of Matrix.
All in all, however, a good time--I wasn't bored one moment, and that's a lot to say these days. They'll get my money for the inevitable sequel.
