The ship has been stuck in the doldrums for some time, but as soon as they break free into more promising water, the wind blows up suddenly, damaging the foremast and sending the ship right back into the still water. Mr Prettiman takes a hard fall and is laid up in his cabin, Miss Granham tends to him and the two announce their engagement. A ship is sighted in the distance. As everyone prepares for the encounter with the enemy Edmund hits his head. He is badly hurt, but struggles on. The ships draw close, but instead of bringing an encounter with the enemy, it is The Alcyone, a British ship captained by Sir Henry Somerset, they announce that the war is over. The two boats are tied together for a ball. Edmund meets Sir Henry's ward, Marion, and immediately falls in love. But his head injury takes its toll and he falls unconcious just as he was going to beg for her hand. After some days he finally recovers, but the two ships have parted and Marion is gone. Edmund's servant Wheeler was on board the Alcyone. He had spent four days in the water after going overboard and had finally been spotted, rescued by the crew and eventually returned to the original ship. As they sail on, there is yet more damage as part of the keel falls from the ship. The passengers start to panic, convinced it will sink. Edmund finds Wheeler in his cabin with a gun, after his last scrape with death he is terrified of drowning, and he shoots himself. 一个有点可笑的年轻人在探索世界的同时自己也得到了成长。
放眼望去都是cp阿。。。神父绝对是个基好吧。Deverel勾搭妹纸是间接想上缺吧！还有忠犬酱油大叔，您要是长得萌点就是花生前世好吗。BC为什么那时一点都不觉得你脸长阿，也没刘海阿。你是想残成什么样阿四十不到。看人家ewan快五十了照样卖媚卖萌卖骚。同为英伦玫瑰你努把力好吗。
一条破烂无比的船载着一个不断呕吐的缺踏上了一段无比苦逼的旅程，大场面画面精美，航海神马的最萌了~不过缺有福利，和美女演了一段SO HOT戏~
女主角太丑了！！二表哥你认为她是lighting thunder是因为觉得她太丑了所以被雷劈了吧！Edmund这个loveless，boyish，sentimental的角色还是很可爱的，经常卖卖肉什么的也大丈夫么。最后船烧了应该很震撼么，但是还没比上家庭教师那句series of advents来得洗脑。
英国人真的不擅长把故事情节交待得清楚、周密。总的来说他们都指望所有人都来学习他们那些贵族时代隐秘不宣的社会风俗、人物细微不可知的表情，但关键是像高斯福德庄园那样虽看似什么都没交代其实都细微地给予了交代才可使用这个理由，本片则是全无能力关照到观众，简单来说就是没有故事叙述的能力
这就是把历史细节碾碎编织入故事情节做得比较好的典型，每个角色的思维、观念、言行举止都带有时代特征。背景是1812年。其实是个群像戏，借由主角Talbot的视角来观察和讲述一艘航向澳洲的皇家海军军舰兼客船上的众生态。舰长、军官、普通水手和最底层的水手、形形色色的乘客（有长辈荫蔽要去澳洲入职的特权阶级子弟、牧师、艺术家、教育家、女教师、律师助理etc）。我比较关注的是舰上军官，总体来讲没有特别喜欢的角...
