I love that movie! I was a big fan of the “people stuck on a ship together and forced to deal with things” genre (ie naval fiction) as a young adult. There are a lot of lessons one can apply to life on shore haha. I don’t read much fiction nowadays but maybe I should try some of O’Brian’s novels again.

One of my absolute favorites, everything done beautifully....thought that there would be sequels as it seemed perfectly suited for it...

That's an excellent idea - not sure Weir would be up for another though, but have been a difficult movie to make, having to purchase a ship for the Surprise!.

Happy you enjoyed the review!

I have one of O'Brians books ordered, found the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey%E2%80%93Maturin_series

Master and Commander is first on the list from 1969. Glad you enjoyed the review!
