ACF Middlebrow #38 Master And Commander by American Cinema Foundation published on 2021-08-25T20:07:34Z Titus & Peter Robinson & John Yoo talk about Master & Commander, the Peter Weir seafaring adventure movie, about the Aubrey-Maturin novels on which it was based, about the charm of military adventures & the series we've been reading. Also, we talk about the detective & lawyer novel series & TV shows--Bosch, Lincoln Lawyer--that fascinate us & which will be our next podcast. Genre Entertainment Comment by Richard Bailey Breathtaking tangents aside, here a a couple more 'minute flaws' in Master & Commander. When the midshipmen are assembled to shoot the sun, they are not holding sextants but actually octants (which preceded the invention of the sextant). And in Brazil When Jack says, "That's all very well Mr. Lamb but we can go marching around the rainforest...." Rainforest is a 1903 coinage. Mere trivia, a great film; it was a pleasure to sail the ship for it (and for decades before).--Capt. Richard Bailey. 2021-08-28T01:30:33Z
