she's in her prime
this movie understands four things, 1. the importance of intense male friendship in getting you through extreme adversity 2. the power of being really obsessed with examining turtles and flightless birds on the Galápagos Islands 3. how beautiful it is to witness Russell Crowe in his natural element examining maps and plotting courses across the sea and 4. that the French are absolute pussies and always have been. all of these things combine together alongside Peter Weir’s insanely gifted craftsmanship to create an all time banger, one of the best oceanic movies there’s ever been. friendship, connection to the natural world and honouring the fallen are always more important than the violence or glory sought in warfare, and that’s a beautiful approach to take in your cool ship movie Peter. what a flick.
