Title: Intelligent film
Review: What I loved most about this film is that it doesn't insult the intelligence of the audience but asks the viewer to make the connections. Peter Weir is a brilliant filmmaker who allows the camera to unfold the story. From the opening scene to the final battle, he doesn't allow a lot of exposition where the characters go into lengthy explanation to a dumbed down audience. Every scene is organic and the rich details tell the narrative. The acting is just first rate and Crowe is miraculous when depicting the character's inner conflict. I also love the fact that the dialogue had not been watered down. Sailors exchange with lightning fast speed authentic nautical jargon. By the end of the film one feels fully immmersed in the experience. Great stuff.
