The Admiral

Synopsis

The Dutch Republic of Seven United Provinces is politically divided between supporters of the Estates-General (federal parliament)'s new pensioner (de facto chief minister) Cornelis de Witt and supporters of the juvenile Prince Willem III of Orange, but must pull together to to the war with maritime rival England. When legendary Admiral Maarten Tromp (Rutger Hauer) is killed in action, his haughty son Cornelis expects to succeed, but de Witt insists on Michiel de Ruyter, a low-born but brilliant Captain from Zeeland. He modernizes the Dutch fleet, signal system and tactics and defeats English King Charles II Stuart's squadrons every time, despite sabotage from Tromp and fanatical Orange supporters, even pulls off a surprise attack up the Thames. The Dutch neglected their land army, naively believing Willem, installed as Stadholder, got a true peace and third party guarantors, but Charles conspires with the French to divide The Netherlands. The mob believes Orange's propaganda and turns on de Witt, even de Ruyter's family isn't safe as alleged "cahoots".

Moreover, the mixing and mastering of the soundtrack seemed subpar, with some pieces sounding muffled and lacking clarity. This detracted from the overall cinematic experience and made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story being told on screen.

The use of repetitive and generic orchestral compositions throughout the movie felt monotonous and did not enhance the emotional impact of key scenes. The lack of diversity in the musical themes made the overall listening experience forgettable and unengaging.

The musical score of Admiral skillfully conveys the emotional journey of the characters, from the personal struggles of Michiel de Ruyter to the grandeur of naval battles against the English fleet. The music successfully immerses the audience in the world of 17th-century Netherlands.

The music in Admiral effectively underscores the historical context of the Dutch Republic during the time of the Anglo-Dutch Wars. The combination of period-appropriate instruments and modern orchestration creates a rich and authentic sound that enhances the viewing experience.
