このメイキング本を開いてまず驚いたのは、映画を観ただけでは分からなかった、船の細部の再現性でした。
特にロープの張られ方結ばれ方、索や滑車などの位地、砲台の固定のし方など、
特別な書物で探さなければならないようなことが、スティルに耐えうる考証がなされ、じっくり見られるわけなのです。
そして撮影の合間のスナップでは、俳優たちの素顔を見ることが出来ますし、
映画の中のシーンを別な角度から撮った写真は、写真集としてまとめられるほどに質が高く、
本文を読まずにパラパラとページを繰るだけでも、楽しむことが出来ます。
また、ジャックがプレックニーに貸したネルソン提督の本や、
ドクター・スティーブンの手術道具が、美しくレイアウトされたページで解説されているのも、コアなファンには堪りません。
もちろん撮影のテクニックなども載っているのですが、これは単なるメイキング本の枠に納まらない、
映画のファンばかりではなく、大航海時代からの帆船に魅力を感じている方たちにもお勧め出来る一冊だと思います。

The Making of "Master and Commander": The "Far Side of the World" ハードカバー – 2003/10/6
英語版
Tom McGregor
(著)
A hardback, collector's edition of the Fox-approved tie-in to the Peter Weir feature film of O'Brian's novel, starring Russell Crowe as Jack Aubrey and Paul Bettany ("A Beautiful Mind") as Stephen Maturin. Based on the early novels in the Aubrey-Maturin series, this film brings the high seas to the silver screen with all the excitement and vivacity of an O'Brian book, and the illustrated companion to the film showcases the high production standards and imagination of the film itself. With access to the film set, Tom McGregor weaves together the story of how the world of O'Brian's books - with its seafaring, swashbuckling adventures, highly drawn characterization and elements of romance and intrigue - was brought vividly to life by Peter Weir (director of "Dead Poets' Society", "Greencard" and "The Truman Show").

映画のメイキング本ですが、写真は良いものが多くてそそられます。
英語ですが見るだけでも楽しい!
映画のプログラムも良いのですが、この映画「マスターアンドコマンダー」に関してはつとに有名な「公開前情報と実際の映画の乖離」という問題がありますので、プログラムも写真はともかく構成に「?」なところがあるのが難点でした。
この本では撮影風景、帆船の船内や外観、映画のシーンなど多くの良い写真が掲載されていますので、映画を観てファンになった方にお勧めです。
わたしはこの本でプログラムの欲求不満が解消できました。

映画DVDの特典映像のメイキングでも網羅しきれなかった
帆船製造や運航、そして乗組員一人一人の役目なども詳細に載せられています
もちろん写真を眺めるだけでも楽しいですが、辞書を片手にじっくり読んでみるのがオススメ!

The making of a classic movie

One of the really classic recent movies featuring O’Briens fantastic books. The fact that O’Brien made these British naval personnel seem human brought history alive for me.

I have read Patrick O'Briens 21 books twice. I have also watched the DVD many times. This book is a really excellent account of the making of the film. A real eye opener. Thoroughly recommend it to any fans of the books and film.

Der Film ist einer meiner Lieblingsfilme, den ich mir gerne aufgrund seiner Stimmung und Bilder immer wieder ansehe.
Daher gefällt mir dieses Buch zum Making of sehr gut. Rauf aufs Sofa und Stöbern. Schon irre welcher Aufwand und welche Liebe zum Detail betrieben wurden.

I loved the movie Master and Commander and recently bought this this book as a companion to the DVD I also purchased. The book exceeded my expectations and reading it greatly enhanced my experience of watching the movie a second time. The sailing ships of the 18th century were one of the most complex "technologies" of the age and the author artfully explains the "hows and whys" Peter Weir went to such painstaking lengths to manufacture an authentic recreation of this historical period, the ship and its crew. The book has an excellent visual layout with awesome color graphics and photos scattered throughout the informative text.
The author truly "painted a wonderful and insightful picture" of everything it takes to make, IMO, a true classic sea movie.
Chapter one discusses how the film "finally" came into being and describes the herculean efforts taken to create, build and sail a full size replica ship. Included is a funny story about Sam Goldwyn, who admired Peter Weir and pitched him with no initial success, then "stalked" him for several years before Weir finally relented after receiving a timely gift of a replica "Captain Jack Aubrey sword" . . . a good Hollywood behind the scenes story.
Chapter two describes the many technical innovations used filming in Baja, Mexico. Lots of photos showing how they utilized a 20 million gallon, 360,000 square foot tank originally used for filming the movie "Titanic". I also learned what a gimbal is. The HMS Surprise sets on a huge gimbal that dictates her movements, assisted by a 162 foot tower crane, and all used to maximize the authenticity of the visual effects. How do you put wind in her sails? How do you make virtual rigging act like real rigging would? I now know there was some CGI used in the movie, but I learned not as much as I expected.
Chapter three describes life "below the decks". Weir said he wanted the audience to "feel that this is as close as you can get to the impossible but exciting idea of travelling back to the past". I was convinced! Weir was constantly driven by authenticity and insisted that consultants become part of the fabric of the movie set. Described in detail are the consulting roles of the Historical Consultant, Armament Advisor, Sword master, Sailing Master and Master Shipwright and their unbelieveable commitment to historical accuracy.
Chapter four describes life in Jack Aubrey's navy. Naval hierarchy seemed to be a microcosm of British social structure as everyone "knew their place" on board ship. In general there were four major hierarchies aboard ship; officers, ratings, marines and servants. Ever wonder why there were so many "teenage boys" aboard ship? Immediately prior to filming, all actors and extras attend a two week boot camp training aboard an exact replica of the HMS Surprise. Good anecdotes about the cast and crew bonding together.
Chapter five has candid stories and interviews with most members of the cast.
One of the many unusual aspects of this movie was the sheer number of actors and extras required, on a permanent basis, on set. " The extras came from all over the world, echoing the reality of a British crew of two centuries ago". Great insight about the casting process.
The last chapter talks about Patrick O'Brian, best known for his Aubrey/Martin tales which the movie is based on, including how he came to eventually write his 20 volume set about the sea. O"brian said " After writing several novels, one of them quite good but filled with anguish and written with even more, it occurred to me to write something FUN".
Buy this book, it's fascinating, informative and fun!
