«برای انگلستان، برای خانه و برای جایزه!» «استاد و فرمانده: سوی دیگر جهان» به کارگردانی پیتر ویر و با بازی راسل کراو در نقش کاپیتان جک آوبری و پل بتانی در نقش استیفن ماتورین ساخته شده است. این فیلم از رمان‌های مختلف مجموعه «آوبری-ماتورین» اثر پاتریک اوبرایان اقتباس شده است. داستان در سال ۱۸۰۵ و در دوران جنگ‌های ناپلئونی اتفاق می‌افتد و ماجراهای کاپیتان جک آوبری و خدمه ناو بریتانیایی «اچ‌ام‌اس سورپرایز» را دنبال می‌کند که دستور دارند تا کشتی خصوصی فرانسوی «آچرون» را متوقف کنند، نابود کنند یا به عنوان غنیمت بگیرند. اما آچرون (که خدمه سورپرایز به آن «شبح» می‌گویند) یک کشتی معمولی نیست و کاپیتان آن نیز فردی هوشمند است. بنابراین جک خوش شانس کار زیادی در پیش دارد؛ نه تنها در تعقیب آچرون، بلکه در ایجاد هماهنگی میان خدمه تحت فرمانش، به ویژه دوست وفادار و مورد اعتمادش، استیفن. در دقایق ابتدایی «استاد و فرمانده» به وضوح مشخص می‌شود که این یک فیلم جنگی دریایی معمولی نیست. اگر به دنبال صحنه‌های اکشن شلوغ و پرهیاهو هستید، بهتر است دور این فیلم را خط بکشید. زیرا این یک اثر از پیتر ویر است، به معنای واقعی کلمه یک فیلم تاریخی که در آن توجه به جزئیات و دینامیک شخصیت‌ها در اولویت است. در این فیلم قطعاً صحنه‌های نبرد وجود دارد که بسیار هیجان‌انگیز و فوق‌العاده هستند، اما بیشتر بر تنش‌های قابل احساس، چه در عرشه و چه در امواج دریا تمرکز دارد. تهدید هرگز دور نیست و این موضوع در مواجهه با آچرون و تعقیب/فرار تاکتیکی آوبری گنجانده شده است. با پیشرفت داستان، خدمه مجموعه‌ای از درام‌های شخصیتی را به تصویر می‌کشند که ما را با شخصیت‌های یک ناو جنگی آشنا می‌کند. نحوه همکاری مردان از طبقات مختلف و در سنین گوناگون به عنوان یک واحد کارآمد برای بقا و پیروزی. به جز یک وقفه در جزایر گالاپاگوس که به زیبایی فیلمبرداری شده است، ۹۹ درصد فیلم در دریا و بر روی یک کشتی باریک می‌گذرد که نشان می‌دهد ویر به روایت داستانی با محوریت شخصیت‌ها و با واقع‌گرایی فوق‌العاده علاقه‌مند است. همکاری ویر با آثار اوبرایان بسیار امیدوارکننده به نظر می‌رسید و برای کسی مثل من که هرگز کتابی از اوبرایان نخوانده‌ام، همین‌طور است. به طور غیرمنتظره‌ای، بسیاری از طرفداران اوبرایان از برخی از موارد حذف‌شده در فیلم، یا چیزهایی که برای شکل‌دهی به دیدگاه ویر درباره شخصیت‌ها به آن افزوده شده، ناراضی بودند. این شکایت‌ها اجتناب‌ناپذیر بود، زیرا تقریباً در هر اقتباس ادبی امروزی مطرح می‌شود. باید توجه داشت که ویر بسیار به اوبرایان علاقه‌مند بود و همیشه تحت تأثیر جزئیات دقیق نوشته‌های او قرار داشت. چه درباره خود نویسنده؟ او سه سال قبل از اکران فیلم درگذشت، اما همیشه تصور می‌کرد که چارلتون هستون باید نقش آوبری را بازی کند. بنابراین، در عصر مدرن، نزدیک‌ترین فرد به حضور فیزیکی هستون در صفحه نمایش، چه کسی می‌تواند باشد؟ بی‌تردید راسل کراو. او نه تنها این ویژگی را به شخصیت می‌آورد، بلکه عمق شخصیت را نیز به تصویر می‌کشد. آوبری ویژگی‌های بسیاری دارد: قدرت، شرافت، سرسختی، رهبری و وفاداری از ویژگی‌های یک کاپیتان در دریا است. اما آوبری همچنین آسیب‌پذیر، خودآگاه، بازیگوش و آگاه به محدودیت‌های خود است و می‌تواند به خود بخندد. کراو به تدریج شخصیت را لایه‌لایه کرده و عملکردی با کیفیت بالا ارائه می‌دهد - از اولین برخورد ما با کراو در نقش آوبری، واقع‌گرایی مورد علاقه ویر به تصویر کشیده می‌شود و این

throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout throughout این فیلم به شدت تحت تأثیر واقع‌گرایی است و بر آمیختگی شخصیت‌ها و روابط انسانی تأکید می‌کند. فیلم بدون نقص نیست. از نظر ریتم، گاهی دچار افت می‌شود و بخش میانی که پر از دیالوگ است ممکن است صبر برخی را آزمایش کند، و فیلم به اندازه کافی طولانی نیست تا بتواند داستان پس‌زمینه‌ای برای شخصیت‌های اصلی فراهم کند. با این حال، هنوز هم فیلمی فوق‌العاده است، پر از هوش و شخصیت‌پردازی‌های جالب، و به اندازه کافی آدرنالین، طنز و تنش برای ساخت یک حماسه تاریخی بزرگ با بودجه بالا در دهه ۱۹۵۰. بنابراین به این سفر بپیوندید، زیرا این یک فیلم با کیفیت است و باید با بهترین فرمت موجود دیده شود. ۹ از ۱۰ این یک داستان دریایی هیجان‌انگیز با کارگردانی عالی است، اما همچنین دوستی‌ها و روابط را به طرز واقع‌گرایانه‌ای در یک کشتی جنگی بریتانیایی به تصویر می‌کشد. گاهی اوقات، من از این فیلم بیشتر از کتابی که بر اساس آن ساخته شده است لذت بردم. اوبرایان داستان‌های دریایی شگفت‌انگیزی نوشته است، اما این یکی برای من گیج‌کننده بود. احساس کردم که باید بررسی کنم که آیا صفحات در ترتیب درست هستند یا نه. داستان در این اقتباس به نظر ساده شده است. (برخی ممکن است بگویند که این چیز خوبی نیست!) دقایق اولیه فیلم بیننده را در سرتاسر کشتی می‌چرخاند و به نظر من این یک نمایش واقعی از آنچه در حال حرکت بر روی آن کشتی بود، بود. صدای جیرجیر کشتی و دیگر صداهای همیشگی، فضاهای تنگ اختصاص داده شده به خدمه، همگی به من کمک کرد که احساس کنم بیشتر از فقط خواندن درباره آن، از آن تجربه کرده‌ام. در کشتی شخصیت‌های زیادی وجود دارد، بنابراین به ناچار برخی از آن‌ها هرگز کاملاً توسعه پیدا نمی‌کنند، اما حتی نگاهی که گهگاه به آن‌ها می‌اندازیم نشان می‌دهد که آن‌ها انسان هستند، نه کلیشه. چندی از چرخش‌های غیرمنتظره در داستان نیز در ادامه فیلم وجود داشت، اما در آن زمان من به داستان جذب شده بودم و با خدمه همراه بودم و بنابراین آن‌ها را بخشیدم. من تا کنون «استاد و فرمانده» را دو بار تماشا کرده‌ام و از دیدن دوباره آن بیزار نیستم. من از «استاد و فرمانده: سوی دیگر جهان» لذت بردم. صحنه‌های اولیه به طرز شگفت‌انگیزی (با توجه به زمان‌های نزدیک انتشار) مشابه فیلم «دزدان دریایی کارائیب: نفرین مروارید سیاه» در سال ۲۰۰۳ هستند، با یک کشتی دشمن پنهان که در شرایط مه‌آلود دیده می‌شود و سپس یک نفر آتش غیرمنتظره‌ای از توپ‌ها را می‌بیند و به دیگران می‌گوید که خم شوند... حتی شخصیت‌های اصلی هم نام جک (سرپرست!) و ویل دارند! با این ارتباطات جالب (برای من، با توجه به اینکه «دزدان دریایی کارائیب» فیلم محبوب من است) ذکر شده، فیلم به راه خود ادامه می‌دهد و به نظرم نتیجه خوبی می‌گیرد. اکشن مداوم (به طرز فوق‌العاده‌ای فیلمبرداری شده) یک مزیت بزرگ است، همان‌طور که اجرای راسل کراو و پل بتانی. من می‌توانستم برای شخصیت‌پردازی بیشتر برای کسانی که در کنار کراو و بتانی بودند، بیشتر بخواهم، زیرا زیاد به آن‌ها اهمیت نمی‌دادم، اگرچه بازیگران پشتیبان همگی به طور منصفانه خوب بودند. آنچه شما در اینجا دارید، کراو را در حال فکر کردن به این که بزرگ‌ترین بازیگر تاریخ است، نشان می‌دهد. این همه از لذت فیلمی که می‌توانست یک حماسه دریایی باشد، می‌کاهد، مثل، به عنوان مثال، «کاپیتان بلاد». پیتر ویر به کراو اجازه می‌دهد که دیوانه شود و شما تقریباً می‌توانید طعم خودخواهی را در هر صحنه حس کنید، به قدری که او به پل بتانی اجازه نمی‌دهد که درخشش خود را نشان دهد و او خود یک بازیگر خوب است، و همین‌طور جیمز دآرسی و دوباره، به نظر می‌رسد کراو می‌خواهد تمام افتخارات بازیگری را برای خود نگه دارد. صادقانه بگویم، نشستن و تماشای مردی که سعی می‌کند در هر صحنه همه را تحت‌الشعاع قرار دهد، به خصوص زمانی که آن‌ها بازیگرانی هستند که می‌توانند در برابر کراو ایستادگی کنند... اگر کراو اجازه دهد که این اتفاق بیفتد، سخت است. بنابراین، شما می‌توانید نشسته و خودخواهی را تماشا کنید و این خسته‌کننده می‌شود. متأسفانه، فیلمنامه و کارگردانی وجود داشت، می‌توانست فیلمی عالی باشد اگر فقط خودخواهی را نمی‌دیدیم. این فیلم سایه‌هایی از «هوراشیو هورن بلور» دارد، اما بسیار خشن‌تر است. راسل کراو یک تصویر قوی و متقاعدکننده از کاپیتان شجاع «آوبری» ارائه می‌دهد که فرمانده «اچ‌ام‌اس سورپرایز» است و مأمور به تعقیب یک کشتی خصوصی فرانسوی است که در حال غارت ناوگان حیاتی نهنگ‌گیری بریتانیا در دوران جنگ‌های ناپلئونی است. او باید با کاپیتان فرانسوی شجاع و ماهر مقابله کند و در یک بازی مرگبار از گربه و موش شرکت کند و قبل از اینکه او و خدمه‌اش به دوی جونز بیفتند، از این دشمن زیرک پیشی بگیرد. این فیلم به مسائل اجتماعی و خرافات زندگی در یک ناو جنگی قرن نوزدهمی و شجاعت (و ترس) به طرز ظریفی اشاره می‌کند. مهم‌تر از همه، این یک فیلم ماجراجویی است و در طول فیلم اکشن زیادی وجود دارد. یک گروه بازیگری قوی در نقش‌های پشتیبان (اگرچه پل بتانی در نقش پزشک و بهترین دوست «آوبری» در این سفر با من چندان سازگار نبود) همراه با برخی از فیلمبرداری‌های دریایی عالی؛ یک موسیقی خوب و کارگردانی توانمند و هیجان‌انگیز پیتر ویر.
