max_86 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 You dutch argue about people dead 300 years ago? Most people here in Italy consider their "historic memory" knowing who won the last football championships.
Ventidius Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Was this a subtitle translation issue? Unlikely, as far as I am aware, Spinnaker in English is the same thing as a Spinaker in Dutch. In Dutch we just leave out one "n".
maturin Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Oh. Here's hoping that spinnaker is a repurposed word that used to refer to a very different sail. Just like yacht used to mean a light, fast warship.
Destraex Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I have not seen admiral 2015 - michel de ruyter... is there any way to see it in english yet? Is this any good?http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1911607/?ref_=tt_rec_tti
Blackjack Symons Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I downloaded it (dubiously, I might add) then downloaded separate English subtitles just yesterday.
Wicked Mouse Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I've just watched it, and I generally do not like movies of my own country all that much, because often I see so much the forced acting, but this movie is pretty well done, I might say. It's a movie of 2,5 hours long and it gives a rough outline of the kind of man he was (I think) and the political situation at that time. The most noticible thing that kinda bothered me was the thing that the raid on the medway was presented as a singular tactical attack, out of the blue. While the raid on Chatham was a retaliation attack after the Holme's Bonfire the year before. Apart from that of course there was more to mr De Ruyter than you could possibly put in a 2,5 hours feature film All-in-all a pretty good watch. I enjoyed it! For those in the States or UK that wanna purchase it: Amazon in the USA and Amazon in the UK offer it for sale. The DVD is called "Admiral: Command and Conquer" for some odd reason. Have fun watching, chaps! Edited August 23, 2015 by Wicked Mouse
Destraex Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks wicked mouse... I only buy blu rays though. I wonder why a modern film would not come on blu ray?

The original release is on Blue-Ray: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/michiel-de-ruyter/9200000041288638/ Maybe the international releases will come on blue-ray later.
Destraex Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks Wicked. I tried to order it from bol.com but they do not deliver to Australia even though blu ray region is the same They don't make it easy.
