The Daily Stormer Digest on Nostr: Meyer was up front about the aesthetic and themes being inspired by Hornblower, ...
Meyer was up front about the aesthetic and themes being inspired by Hornblower, although I did not realize the plot points were such a direct "inspiration".
I do appreciate that Meyer looked at the uniforms from the first movie, accurately noted that they looked like pajamas, and made a new look that lasted for the rest of the Original Series films.
It's obvious that Captain Horatio Hornblower with Gregory Peck was the primary cinematic influence on Nicholas Meyer when he was writing Wrath of Khan. Several subplots are lifted directly from it, including the eager young cadet / cabin boy who worships the captain and comes to a noble end.
