Title: Brilliant Historical Accuracy
Review: This has to be the single most historically accurate film made about any high seas adventure that I have ever seen. Now, that is not to say the PLOT is historically accurate, b/c it is completely fictional. However, the representation of life at sea is absolute perfection. The battle scenes are extraordinarily realistic, fast and furious. Many boats contained young men or children, as this movie portrays. Battles on the high seas were either excessively protracted, or brutally short, depending entirely on the range of the fighting. Everything this movie shows is historical perfection. Some may find it a little slow, but for anyone with even an iota of patience, Master and Commander is very much worth the price of admission.
