I both wish they had made this a series and simultaneously am glad they didn't
hopefully they never do a satirical reboot of it with niggers, lesbians, and trannies to critique masculinity and colonialism
Peter Weir was never the type of director to make a million sequels and I don't want to watch a sequel made by anyone else

>>212126025Horatio Hornblower from C S Forester's novels. 10 made for TV episodes that ran from mid 90s to around the release of M&C. Comfy viewing
>>212126183Just checked. It was eight films covering three of the ten novels. Ran from Oct 98 to Jan 2003. Master was released in Nov of that year. I 'member watching it as a kid and actually preferred it to Sharpe. Landlubbers can't compete.
there are so many patrick o'brian novels in that universe completely ripe for the picking. would be perfect for a television series. but deep down in my heart of hearts, i know that it would be completely butchered by netflix, hulu, prime, or apple. i secretly hope they just leave it alone
>>212125503 (OP)I really like this movie however I must say I really dislike they posit British nationalism as basically a reactionary anti French sentiment.
