Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

All July is movies at war, a theme we’re calling “GLORY & PROPAGANDA”. War films are movie genre that draws another specific sub-class of film that can also cross over with westerns. We’re talking about what we like to call “DAD BONER MOVIES”. I guess you could say “Dad Flicks” if you don’t want to be crude but what’s the fun in that? Think about your dad for a moment. Think about the movies he likes. The books and shows he like. Now picture your dad with a boner. It’s a lot easier than you think, isn’t it? Peter Weir’s adaptation of Patrick O’Brian’s Napoleonic War era nautical stories seemed to come and go rather quietly. With Russell Crowe at the lead it made a few bucks but didn’t inspire any sequels. “MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD” nevertheless found critical acclaim and a particular appreciation for the movie developing in hindsight from all the dads and their boners. They love this shit. Perhaps one of the all timer, underrated, more modern Dad Boner films and also kinda gay with Crowe and Paul Bettany looking absolutely wifed. That’s just that high seas shit. Peace and love to all the gay dad boners out there. Oh, shit! We found a link to the movie but I bet it gets taken down quick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5syct99MvVw
