During Napoleonic wars, a British frigate, the Surprise of HMS and a much bigger battleship of squadron French, Achéron, with the biggest firepower, dispels of the coast of South America. Russell Crowe brings big intensity in the role of captain Jack Aubrey. Lucky Jack, as it is to him that returns his crew, is considered well by his men, who trust in shone blindly, even after the first devastating battle and a personal visible blood feud against the French captain. While naval battle orders are wholly fantastic, the film is achieved because manager’s Dam wanted to construct history to make acquaintance with the men who are closed on board of quarters gripped by a small ship and how they react reciprocally dailies. The officers and the mates are famous while final battle comes. Paul Bettany gives a strong performance as the surgeon and the naturalist who balances the violence of its life chosen with the silent behaviour of the scientist. He is the friend of the captain and the intimate friend, both duoes of violoncello and violin often jouants together. The terror of the wounds of war is often involved, but represented by a bright light in the reactions of characters.

Pendant les guerres Napoléoniennes, une frégate britannique, la Surprise de HMS et un beaucoup plus grand cuirassé d’escadre français, l’Achéron, avec la plus grande puissance de feu, se chasse de la côte de l’Amérique du Sud. Russell Crowe apporte la grande intensité au rôle de Capitaine Jack Aubrey. Lucky Jack, comme c’est à lui que renvoie son équipage, est bien considéré par ses hommes, qui se fient à lui aveuglement, même après la première bataille ravageuse et une vendetta personnelle apparente contre le capitaine français. Pendant que les ordres de bataille navals sont tout à fait fantastiques, le film est réussi parce que le Barrage de directeur a voulu construire l’histoire pour faire connaissance avec les hommes qui sont fermés à bord de quarts serrés d’un petit navire et comment ils réagissent réciproquement quotidiens. Les officiers et les copains sont célèbres alors que la bataille finale vient. Paul Bettany offre une forte performance comme le chirurgien et le naturaliste qui équilibre la violence de sa vie choisie avec la conduite silencieuse du scientifique. Il est l’ami du capitaine et le confident, les deux duos de violoncelle et de violon souvent jouants ensemble. Les horreurs des blessures de la guerre sont souvent impliquées, mais représentées d’une lumière éclatante dans les réactions des caractères.
