Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World: 2 lines unmapped ×2

  1. unmapped (weir-vignette-opening): Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World → Green Card. Green Card's opening drumming-in-the-subway sequence and this film's small 5-to-72-second vignettes both build a world with no plot function, which studios no longer allow.
    “that opening sequence with the kid drumming in the in the subway. Yeah. Has nothing to do with the plot.”
