The And then Oh, Hey everybody welcome to another Commission podcast this is for

2003 nautical adventure War film, Master and Commander of the Fire Side of the World.

I thought it was 1805.

It was the year I was told.

Well, right.

And you know, it's great for an 1805 film well that's the thing Peter we're cheated he

actually teleported back to the 1805 and with high definition cameras and

filmed everything you can't get more historical accurate than that.

As I alluded to, Peter Weir directed this.

It was adapted from the novelizations.

There's 20 books by Patrick O'Brien called the Aubrey Matcheron series.

How thick of those books?

They're anywhere from like 3 to 500 pages.

I think the thickest book is the second one oddly and it was adapted by Peter Weir and

John Kali I also want to shout out the cinematographer which I actually didn't really forgot to write down his name.

He is Russell Boyd because one of the things I found in the research is that Peter Weir and Boyd and a couple of other producers went on a

Like a partial circumnavigation on a replica of the HMS endeavor, which was one of the first ships that

that the famous Captain Cook sailed around the world they actually did

a rounding of the horn as they showed and those this storm footage is actually

footage that they shot on that thing and then they digitally composited with

their mock-up of the surprise that they had in this huge water gallon tank.

It's the one they built for the Titanic in like Baja Mexico, I think. But it's awesome.
