Favorite Scenes From A Century Of Cinema - 8




Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was released in 2003. Although it was adapted from three historical novels by Patrick O'Brian, the film was a tour de force in its authentic and accurate depiction of naval warfare during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). Master and Commander won two Academy Awards out of its ten nominations, losing in the remaining categories - including Best Picture -  to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
