Directed by: Peter Weir
Starring: Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, James D'Arcy
During the Napoleonic Wars, the British naval frigate, HMS Surprise pursues the Acheron, a large and powerful French war vessel sailing in South American waters. The Surprise, commanded by Captain Jack Aubrey, is attacked by the Acheron. The ship is badly damaged and many of the crew wounded. Even though the Surprise is outnumbered, outgunned, and their cannons are unable penetrate the French vessel's hull, the captain decides to capture the Acheron at all costs.
Revealing mistake: The Acheron fires many devastating blows on the Surprise and the effect is visible in close-ups and a wide shot. However, after Mr. Mowett yells, "Relieving-tackles on the tiller! You men collect the wounded!" there is another wide shot of the Acheron in the foreground and Surprise in the distance. In this shot Surprise has NO damage whatsoever! (00:11:00)
Capt. Jack Aubrey: To wives and sweethearts - may they never meet.
Trivia: Paul Bettany describes the scenes in which he collects insects: "I don't like insects. They tend to scamper and scuttle, so it was difficult." He also practiced for his self-operating scene by sitting "at home and [trying] it with a butter knife in front of the mirror."
Question: Will someone explain to me navigation. I have never heard of "Sou Sou West" or "Sou East by East."
