Men must be governed

Master and Commander - the far side of the world Three cheers to Russell Crowe(Captain 'Lucky' Jack Aubrey) and Paul Bettany(Dr. Stephen Maturin). the movie is based on a novel by Patrick Obrian and directed by Paul Weir.

Hats off to the mucis composer for the Irish violin is mesmerising. Tip-tap-toe went my feet. Apart from the dialogues, direction and performance of the actors, the following are the scenes that impressed me so much that I would sit and write them: 1. first and foremost, the movie speaks volumes on leadership qualities. the movie can be prescribed right away as a CDC ( must watch) for all the management students in B-schools. 2. Dr. Stephen's self-surgery. 3. Dr. Stephen's passion for natural science. the keenness to detail and recoding observations is, indeed, a tribute to Darwin. 4
