"The worst thing you can do is pitch a topic, not a story. You start with a topic. I like to talk to a few people before I write a pitch, which can be difficult because people you're asking to talk to don't know where it's going. I just look for topics that interest me first, and I dig down to an expert, and then from the expert, I try and find individual stories within that," says Peter Ward, whose "Master and Commander" appeared in The Atavist Magazine.It's that Atavistian time of the month, so there might be some spoilers here.

Lätta ankar, kör i vind! Retrorösterna vänder både segel och blick mot ett av 2000-talets mest episka epos, och Russell Crowe vid rodret som den mästerlige Master and Commander (2003). Detta var ett av de verk som Coma Cop och Mike Foxtrot bevittnade tillsammans på bio under deras resa till New York i början av 2000-talet. Måhända att de inte fick se Gladiator till sjöss, men de fick nåt minst lika stort - ett oförglömligt äventyr och evig vänskap. Och i vanlig ordning blir det också berättelser från minnenas Vasa, besynnerligt mångsidigt om mopeders växellådor och minst sagt tveksamma matematiska förmågor. Igen. Högt och lågt hittas hos allehanda poddspelare och vill du oss nåt kanske vi hittas på internet. Du kan ju googla va fan. "England is under threat of invasion, and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship, is England." – Capt. Jack Aubrey

New month, new theme. We're kicking off "CROWvember" with yet another failed franchise starter from the surprisingly-regularly-featured-on-F2F Russell Crowe. But this time, it's a classy, prestige play Oscar contender from acclaimed filmmaker Peter Weir that was, nevertheless, meant to hopefully kick off a cinematic series. Adapted from the long-running "Aubrey/Maturin" period war-drama novel series by Patrick O'Brian, 2003's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a rousing 19th century naval battle action epic. But for all the excitement of ship vs. ship conflict, at the heart of the film is a story of loyalty, duty, and male friendship. In an era unfortunately dominated by displays of male toxicity, did we two dudes find something more admirable and aspirational in the friendship of the two dudes played by Crowe and Paul Bettany? And, do we think even a big Best Picture contender like this could really justify a blockbuster-like series of sequels? We discuss all this and more, as we set out to sail in the choppy waters of "CROWvember." Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd
En este episodio recordamos que hace 40 años fallecía uno de los directores y actores más personales y creativos que ha conocido el cine: Orson Welles. Os hemos preparado un reportaje sobre su carrera, su figura y la huella que ha dejado en la historia del cine. El otro gran protagonista del programa es Russell Crowe al que tenemos por partida doble. En primer lugar como la víctima del villano de nuestra sección “Esos tipos a los que nos encanta odiar” que no es otro que el Emperador Cómodo, al que Joaquin Phoenix dio vida en la película “Gladiator”. Y también le veremos como el capitán de un navío inglés del siglo XIX en la película “Master and C ommander: Al otro lado del mundo” de Peter Weir, que es el film que Jack Bourbon ha elegido esta semana en su serie de las mejores películas del cine de aventuras.
Russell Crowe as the Commander of a warship of a different era. It's a cinematic epic, which is the story of friendship and morals as much as it is about warfare. Watch it on your Hisense TV on your Fetch!

Master and Commander (Matthew 8:18-27) | Philip Van Steenburgh
On this episode of Remainders, we watch the 2003 war epic Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Based on the series of novels, Master and Commander is a chase movie that goes much deeper. Russell Crowe plays Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey, and Paul Bettany plays Dr. Stephen Maturin. The Captain represents leadership and duty, and the Dr. represents academia and revolution. As they chase the elusive French war ship The Acheron, the two men both test and help each other during the Napoleonic Wars. Old-school action filmmaking in a modern war epic – she's in her prime.Other topics include Peter Weir and Australian directors, more Russell Crowe buddy movies and L.A. Confidential, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Tom Cruise and Mission: Impossible, ai in movies and tv, and fast food we're eating and not eating lately.Song Picks of the WeekMuzzle by The Smashing PumpkinsHawaii by The StrokesRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Every movie in our current moment, regardless of quality, seems to have spawned sequels, prequels, and reboots; in this episode, we lament that the one film that we wish had been the beginning of a series didn't make enough money to do so. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Peter Weir's 2003 adaptation of Patrick O'Brien's novels, is rich, unironic, and inspiring; it's a study of leadership, the tension between technology and human skill, and the ways in which discipline and restraint yield more genuine emotion that what we see now, when people post about their “struggles” every thirty seconds. Join us for a conversation about a film that makes its viewers wonder how they would fare as sailors and that makes them think about the shortcomings of their bosses. The film is based on Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey / Maturin series; Master and Commander is the novel in which the captain and doctor meet.

This week we reach back into the archive for our first visit from Dr. Mary Hicks to talk about the brilliance of Master and Commander and to talk with Mary about her research into African Mariners in the South Atlantic. About our guest:Mary Hicks is a historian of the Black Atlantic, with a focus on transnational histories of race, slavery, capitalism, migration and the making of the early modern world. Her first book, Captive Cosmopolitans: Black Mariners and the World of South Atlantic Slavery, 1721-1835, reimagines the history of Portuguese exploration, colonization and oceanic commerce from the perspective of enslaved and freed black seamen laboring in the transatlantic slave trade. As the Atlantic world's first subaltern cosmopolitans, black mariners, she argues, were integral in forging a unique commercial culture that linked the politics, economies and people of Salvador da Bahia with those of the Bight of Benin.

Send us a textWelcome aboard, hoist the mainsail, and batten down the hatches for this week's film, “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany (and a bunch of other dudes.).

So come join us for some light discussion on super-volcanoes and amputations! And of course, try to answer the thematic question; could I survive?

All July is movies at war, a theme we're calling “GLORY & PROPAGANDA”. War films are movie genre that draws another specific sub-class of film that can also cross over with westerns. We're talking about what we like to call “DAD BONER MOVIES”. I guess you could say “Dad Flicks” if you don't want to be crude but what's the fun in that? Think about your dad for a moment. Think about the movies he likes. The books and shows he like. Now picture your dad with a boner. It's a lot easier than you think, isn't it? Peter Weir's adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's Napoleonic War era nautical stories seemed to come and go rather quietly. With Russell Crowe at the lead it made a few bucks but didn't inspire any sequels. “MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD” nevertheless found critical acclaim and a particular appreciation for the movie developing in hindsight from all the dads and their boners. They love this shit. Perhaps one of the all timer, underrated, more modern Dad Boner films and also kinda gay with Crowe and Paul Bettany looking absolutely wifed. That's just that high seas shit. Peace and love to all the gay dad boners out there. Oh, shit!

Russell Crowe returning to the historical epic genre at the peak of his post-Gladiator fame would seem a sure bet in 2003, and yet Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World met with a tepid box office response upon its maiden voyage. Despite being an exquisitely crafted adaptation of the beloved Patrick O'Brian novels and garnering several Oscars, the film failed to launch the hoped for franchise — though appreciation has grown for it over the years, particularly with millennials. Join Sebastian and Andrew as they hoist up the top sails and celebrate this high water mark of seafaring historical cinema.
NAVAL WEEK concludes with a highly acclaimed period seafaring adventure which just turned 20!Adapted from a series of beloved historical fiction novels from Patrick O'Brian, this film chronicles the journey of the HMS Surprise, a British seafaring vessel sailing across the Southern Hemisphere and in a continuous cat-and-mouse with the French Navy, this being during the height of the Napoleonic Wars in the 1800's. This ship and crew are lead by Captain Jack Aubrey played by Russell Crowe and the physician on board (and Aubrey's best friend) is Dr. Stephen Maturin played by Paul Bettany. We watch them embark on a series of adventures through choppy waters, blistering heat, conflict amongst the crew, and a continuous cat-and-mouse with a more intimidating French vessel known as the Acheron. Along the way, we get to know Jack, Stephen, and the rest of their spirited crew very well with every aspect of this story and setting being portrayed with an impressive level of historical authenticity thanks to director Peter Weir. This film received ten Oscar nominations including Best Picture, though it ended up losing most of them to the Lord of the Rings; Return of the King awards juggernaut that same year. So let's set sail and see if the weather gage....and Surprise....are on our side! ;) Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
3/3. After a meteoric rise to fame, Cochrane finds himself in front of a court and stripped of his titles for fraud on the London Stock Exchange. Known for his ingenuity and schemes, Cochrane breaks out of prison before embarking on the adventure of a lifetime in South America. He's put in charge of the Chilean and then Brazilian navies, helping these mighty countries break free from Spain and establish their independence. But Cochrane wasn't just doing it out of a sense of justice, he charged a high fee for his services and ensured to pillage what he could along the way. In the final episode of the series, Dan recounts the later years of Cochrane's extraordinary life and how, even in his 70s, he was regarded as a liability by the Admiralty. Written by Dan Snow, produced by Mariana Des Forges, edited by Joseph Knight and sound designed & mixed by Dougal Patmore.

Dan tells a story as dramatic, unlikely and exciting as any ever penned by an author about one of Britain's greatest sailors. Thomas Lord Cochrane was a naval commander with an illustrious career in the Napoleonic Wars who once strapped himself to a floating bomb, in a rising storm, in the dead of a moonless night to take out a French fleet. Another time, he convinced an enemy force to surrender to a navy that didn't exist.

Flog the jib and shiver me timbers, it's time to set sail with the first of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels Master and Commander. It's equal parts ship jargon, ship action, and shipmen (aka sailors) pondering themes of isolation and authority. Plus, we get to the bottom of who exactly is the master and who is the commander.
