>change American ship to a French one even though it doesn't make any sense, so burger audiences can sit through the movie without standing up and saluting the screen all the time
any other examples of this? why are americans so sensible?
Change American ship to a French one even though it doesn't make any sense...
Lucas Hernandez
Jace Cook
So is it meant to be an American ship?
Asher Peterson
yes, apparently it was in the book. which suddenly has things make a lot more sense, the ship being constructed in Boston, the ship strolling around south america, and so on.
Btw, who the fuck robbed us off a great franchise? They even perfectly set up at least parts of a second movie, but nothing ever came
Jason Walker
It wasn't a massive distraction and at least we got good lines like Aubrey's battle speech about the French and and Napoleon.
Evan Jones
Yes, but having Americans be the bad guys once would have been nice. Just like a few good lines about them would have been
Jeremiah Jenkins
Its probaby so all the actors dont need to sounds like they have a cold and cocks in their mouth the whole film, like normal frogs
Robert Adams
Yeah they could have had an anthology of movies similar to Hornblower. That's decent and on youtube if you need a fix.
Jackson Campbell
For those that want to see other movies like Master and Commander, check this one out:
Eli Sanders
But it was an American ship. It was only crewed by French.
Parker Murphy
Also known as:
Christian Thomas
I think it would have been cool, up until the point where they board the ship and are slaughtering the crew. I think people wouldn't have liked that.
I'm british so I've had many years of being the bad guy in films and it is decent.
Joshua Lopez
Well is it attacking British whalers for America or France?
Aiden Hughes
which makes it a French ship, if it's sailing under a French flag. And why would Napoleon send such a great and modern ship to the Galapagos islands while he's in the middle of a war with the rest of Europe
Andrew Baker
Apart from the French ship you don't see any enemy persons until right at the end, and even then I can't remember them talking anyway.
Wyatt Moore
I think it was planned, that's why the movie has such an open ending. No idea why they never went through with it, I think there's at least three books
Jackson Hernandez
>expecting people to give a shit
most americans are ignorant nom-noms, they don't give a shit, only if the nazis are around.
Isaac Morris
It's literally the reason they changed it.
Easton Morales
there's like 20 books but they are not very big, novels basically.
Josiah Sullivan
Pirates of the Caribbean movies took over that. There's no appetite for serious naval movies.
Kevin Price
It's not a good boat movie if I have any fucking idea what the fuck they are talking about all the time. I've seen Master and Commander a trillion times and still don't know most of their nautical jibberjabber
Jaxon Sullivan
>There's no appetite for serious naval movies
Speak for yourself
Connor Gomez
They probably dropped the "HMS" and added "Damn the" for it's US theatrical release.. I don't know.
The movie starts off with a press gang out catching new recruits. Orders from the admiralty, provide escort to merchantmen out of Corsica, report post haste.. second in command; Lewr-tenant Scott Pagent.
The acting on the guns are kind of stiff but it's a badass naval movie.
Samuel Jenkins
Jacob Turner
nice
Ayden Cruz
Pirates of the Caribbean did
Seriously, even Weir suggested this. Both were about naval culture but stylistically different that they could not have competed side by side. The audience chose
Brandon Howard
Americans are fat and smell
With Americans on board, ship would sink
Lol
Julian Powell
For whatever reason it costs a ton to film naval stuff properly. And supposedly it’s a pain in the ass. That’s why they never did any sequels.
Dylan Jenkins
>it's too expensive and too much work
but you get something for it. they made one of the best movies of all time. imagine how much fame and money a franchise would have gotten them
Zachary Lee
kek
based
Gavin Martinez
Well they did Black Sails on a TV budget and it looked amazing, but i guess CGI has become more cheaper and faster from the Master n Commander days.
Levi Butler
Hah!
Elijah Mitchell
I just remember that’s what peter weir said in some interview when asked about it. As for how much $ it would have gotten, it was risky given the cost of production and its limited appeal (i.e. a certain half of the population will never understand it)
Daniel Sanders
>black sails
is this any good? i was thinking about watching it
Ayden Ramirez
Shackleton was freakin' epic! Dude lost his ship in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean and still managed to save everyone.
Julian Fisher
Jack Phillips
You got a problem with standing and saluting ya commie? I salute everyone. EVERYONE. And I salute everything. EVERYTHING. This world demands respect! And I provide it! With a well timed and curt salute.
Dominic Myers
It gets progressively better each season, so dont drop it if it seems a bit slow in s1.
Alexander Hughes
It starts out decent but then drops the ball when the gayfaggot shit comes out.
