Why does everyone assume Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World was directed by Ridley Scott? It's Peter Weir. One of the most criminally underrated directors in cinema history (he also gave us Picnic at Hanging Rock, Gallipoli, Witness, Dead Poets Society, Fearless, and The Truman Show, among others).

Per recent discussion with Mark Kermode, I want "We think we're so great because we have boats" emblazoned on my UK passport.
