Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

WOW! This was an awesome movie! I can't say much aside from that it was a great movie! It was very realistic, and to a landlubber such as myself, it was also very technically accurate. Wow!

I highly recommend it. If you didn't like The Patriot because of the violence, then you may not like this one either. A number of people die, you get to see medical procedures as they would have done them on the open sea, with only a gag and a tourniquet as anesthesia. Yes, I was cringing during most of the medical scenes -- very much so. There was even one where I went completely tense, and even cold. {shudders again}
