"Why Are So Many Guys Obsessed With Master and Commander?"

I'm not "obsessed" but Master and Commander easily makes the top ten movies I've seen in the last 20 or 30 years. It's beautifully acted, written, and photographed. The leads are two people you can really root for. And it ends--it's not too difficult to write a movie's protagonist into an interesting jam, but it's much harder to write an interesting, satisfying way for him or her to get out--really well.
