Round 7: Tossup 6

In this film, the adagio from Arcangelo Corelli’s Christmas Concerto plays over a shot of a man remarking “I just needed to stretch my legs.” This film includes several diegetic renditions of Boccherini’s Night Music of the Streets of Madrid by two characters who have an argument climaxing with the line (15[1])“we do not have time for your damn hobbies, sir!” Many iris shots in this film depict fauna like iguanas, fur seals, and flightless cormorants. In this film, a man who looks at a mirror to pull a bullet from his own abdomen during (*) self-surgery is told a joke with the punchline “you must always choose the lesser of two weevils.” This (10[1])first feature film to shoot in the Galápagos Islands forgoes mention of women like Diana Villiers from its literary source. In this 2002 film, a man nicknamed “Lucky Jack” pursues the Acheron during the Napoleonic Wars. For 10 points, (10[1])Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey–Maturin novels about the Royal Navy inspired what Peter Weir film starring Russell Crowe? ■END■
