Period Piece movies: Master and Commander

This is one of my favorite Russell Crowe films, Directed by Peter Weir, based on the works of Patrick O'Brien. Set in the later part of my historical era, of 1805, it shows how naval warfare in the Age of Sail must have been. It also shows how national navies also fought against privateering.

This film another by Stanley Kubrick, while not about a specifically historical personality, does show how mid 18th century society operated at the middle class, then upper class levels.
Major themes in this film show the Anglo-Irish establishment, the role the Seven Years War played in Ireland, and Britain, as well as central Europe.

Spartacus, Blood and Sand
Spartacus, Gods of the Arena
Spartacus, War of the dammed.

After six months, I was finally able to watch all of these. And I can sum up for me what they consist of

Romans and Gladiators like to say f..k, c...k, and hump or eat alot. And I mean A LOT.
