Trivia
Paintings from the 17th century served as an inspiration for the design. In the beginning of the movie, when Klaartje the family maid pours milk, it is almost an exact replica of the famous painting 'The Milkmaid' by Johannes Vermeer. See more »Goofs

I've always fantasized about this naval period. This movie gave me the chance to experience this strange deceptive era in theatrical form.
The young republic, striving to establish and maintain strong trading routes, are flawed by who they thought were their allies all along. Physically and mentally provoked and by three nations at once, it goes to show that a country can indeed establish itself through courage, determination and wit.
Long as the film was, I found it a wonderful experience to watch from start to finish. I didn't expect to see scenes in England, let alone ones containing the mad monarchist King James II. What a mentalist.
Many scenes featuring the Dutch King Willem II and admiral Tromp were simply captivating to the point that I felt I was actually living the moment in that era.
Michiel de Ruyter, has definitely won a place in my heart and I will definitely be watching this one again someday.
