The guy operating himself is a bit over the top. The brain surgery is ok.
Just because a movie is nominated and wins few Oscars doesnt make it the good. This one, IMo, is good, but not Oscar good.Specially not the photography!
Meaning that it was unrealistic or that it was gross? 'Cause the brain surgery thing... There's no way that guy could've lived through having major brain surgery like that in the early 1800's, on a ship, outside... The guy operating on himself, I've actually heard about people who've had to do that.
Over the top him operating himself. Specially looking at a mirrow. Reversed image and all.
The guy didnt have major brain surgery. All he did was open a whole, remove the excess blood and put a coin there, pretty much the same is done today. Except the couin is now a metal plate (not sure the word is correct). I've read about that being done back in those days.

this film is ace, abosultley brilliant, they've been advertising it on TV its way better than Pirates of the Caribean coul'd ever be, its way realiststic and the special effects are amazing, I reckon Crow is an ace actor by the way, if you remember Gladiator you'll know what I mean, and if you have got bored of him after watching the movie 20 times well then, you watched it 20 times for a reason, Russell crow is ace, makes brad pitt look like a pussy, I have not got a best part to the movie its so good
this is the best film i have seen in a long time. From the characters, to story to execution, the whole movie was a completely well rounded film. The characters had depth when you wouldnt expect them to, the acting was superb, and the build up of suspense was just fun i'd give master and commander an 8.5/10

I loved this movie. That little guys perormance was great. I'm a Russell Crowe fan but this movie didn't desrve oscars. It was not that great. It did have a great story and the actors were fantastic. What i loved that the actors really learned hoe to play those music instruments especially for the movie. THe guy operating on himself was done a few times before in movie. I think Robert DeNiro did it in "Ronin" Pretty average mviue but still one of the good ones.
This movie sucked! i hated it. all it was was russel crowe and his crew on the boat for 3/4 of the movie! and i could not understand one word that they were saying! i ****ing hate Russel Crowe cause of the movie!!!

This movie is ace, the effects are amazing and I beleive it does show something that we have lost as a nation, its one of those films where their is a real moral element and shows how intresteing war can get.
Capt Aubury Russelle Crow was ace in this movie Its ace and is better than Pirates of the Caribean its just an amazing film, you've really got to watch it.
My favourite part is when everyone makes the ship look like a whaler in discuise. and Capt aubery acts like a millionare whale hunter,
they pull up next to a huge france/american vessel and they jack em with the cannons. the element of suprise, pretty ace
i LUUVED this movie!!! it was done soo well and it was REALLY REALLY good. like the battle scenes were much more real looking than in pirates of the caribbean, the acting was excellent, the storyline was very good...very deep...i just loved it...but i've only seen it once so i don't remember it that well...but i'm definately gonna see it again!!
