The theme of this film by Vangelis realy sets the tone of the film as a mood piece, some of the acting could be considered over the top, who knows if Bligh really was that hot headed and I dont think much was shown in the way of his actual voyage in the long boat those 700 lonely miles apart from the island but the film is memorable
I agree with aaaa1970able...Hopkins should of won an Oscar for this. This is the first movie I saw with him in it. He is an amazing actor. I was hooked on him after seeing this...as well as Mel.
He navigated an open boat with 18 men over 3000 nautical miles from memory alone without the the aid of charts. Christian kept the charts. No loss of life occurred during the open boat voyage, with exception of one man killed on the island of Tofua where they stopped to rest and find water, the man murdered by natives and was most presumably feasted upon.
There isn't anything insane about the man. In 1700s navy the crews were pressed in to servive from jails, prison, whorehouse, barrooms, gambling houses, and men on the run would vsign up as well. It would be an weasy thing to lose control of a crew ina virtual "Paradise". Bligh was perhaps and it cannot be overstated, one of the finest seamen that ever lived. he sailed on 2 voyages withe Captain Cooke as his Cartographer > The primary reason Bligh was selected. he had local knowledge.
He has to maintain control of the men and the only way to do that is by being a strict disciplinarian. A lot of the crew would have been press ganged into joining that ship and were no more than a rabble of thieves and criminals. You cant fuck about when your outnumbered and alone at sea. Strict discipline was the only way to maintain authority.
It was Christian and the other officers who broke this rule and therefore fucked it all up.
@SnapperGrogan You restrict the limits of the word 'insane'. The whole thing is rather insane is it not? The bread fruit for slaves is the reason for the trip and the beautiful pacific local women are described as some kind of savage by Bligh... and this is not insanity incarnate?!!!
Have a quick read of the World news, watch the film again, and with respect, perhaps re-evaluate what you consider 'insane'.
This is a incredibly great film. The actors are top notch! Some of my favorite actors are in this one film. This video really just gives you a sample. Watch the movie in full. Mel and Anthony are brilliant! I have this in my collection. Waiting for it in blu- ray.
in places like Thailand today people lose themselves (men when seeing a chance for easy sex and relationships). Can you imagine what it must have been like for the men on these ships going to different countries and cultures?!? I cannot imagine.......
Read the true story of this film, appprox 3months ago,Fletcher Christians Brother/cousin was also involved in a mutiny, a short time before the bounty set sail. Christian also attended the same school as Wordsworth. The family came from the Isle of Man, in the UK.
I came across a blog that described this film as horrible and over the top.I couldnt disagree more .Perhaps im biased but i find it to be one of the best
@polksalad1234 Indeed it has become a cult classic of sorts... and I say IMHO is right up there with Master and Commander. Hopkins, Gibson, Neeson et al and music by Vangelis set to one of the finest most romantic and tragic (true) stories of English literature and history! Wonderful... I concur!
@polksalad1234 It is also very close to the truth by all accounts I have read including William Blighs own book on the incident. He was perhaps one of the finest seamen that has ever lived. His people skills may have neede work, however there is but commander ona ship and a ship is not a democracy it is a dictatorship. One has to have faith that the Captain knows what he is doing. You also must put yourself in 1700 navy, in which a good portion of the crews were impressed
@Rachulie Because he was faithful to his wife. That was one of the distinctions of Bligh's character in this story, to remain committed to his Christian principles and military discipline, no matter if he were faced with temptation, mutiny or death.
Bligh was harsh to the crew to be a good crew in his control. Fletcher Christian is feeling abused and childish fear of Bligh. Everyone dislike Bligh that he was been a brute who mistreated his crew themselves as a slaves in Egypt, and a oxen and donkeys been beat up at work.
@GooGooBear24 I'm reading the book atm. One of the more interesting things about the doctor is that he tells Bligh on numerous occasions that some men have scurvy or pnemonia... causing Bligh to freak out and overreact and do almost too much in trying to cure them. However, the men dont appear sick to him. So the doctor was pushing his buttons bc he disliked Bligh and knew he was obsessed with cleanliness and health.
However, the movie portrayal is largely accurate... he's drunk and incompetent
You wish someone would get Cancer and die? Only a person filled with genuine hatred would wish a death like Patrick Swayze towards anyone. God…. the evil, the never ending hatred. Sadly, man's inhumanity to man will never end. How pathetic.
@RichardElden I thought Mel Gibson did a good job. It's easy to think anybody did a bad acting job when you compare it to Anthony Hopkin's acting. But Mel and Daniel Day Lewis did a decent job.
@RichardElden ive always enjoyed both mel gibson and ant hopkins perfs in this film, both are tormented by events and both stick to their disciplined naval roles. Christian rebukes Bligh with defiant reticence, doing as hes told, not overstepping the mark and giving little emotion for Bligh to feed on. Such behaviour is common in someone who is being bullied by a superior rank, whilst having to uphold his position as second in command over the rest of the crew.
best film ever made....no CGI here.....real ship, real actors, real locations, passion, love, humour, history and spine tingling lines! yep i sure love this film, much over looked and all based on a true story
That's nothing compared to my wife.. lol! That's her on a good day! I love this movie, the scenery, the soundtrack and the acting makes it all come together brilliantly.
Compared with other captains of his time, Bligh seemed to have been a rather easy captain with a nice nature. Historians think it was the men's love for the native women rather than Bligh's nature what caused the mutiny. Bligh was a very good seaman. After the mutiny he even sealed with a small little sloop to Batavia, that is seamanship!
And say I am commander by law, the 1st, do you understand? God damn your hide! Is there another actor at the time who could have bettered this performance? De Niro? Pacino? Hackman? Duvall?Hopper?Nicholson?Sheene? I don't think so? I think he recieved an Oscar for this role, rather belatedly in an average film and performance, known as 'Silence of the lambs'? You may correct me if I'm wrong?
I don't know how much of this is true, but Bligh is NOT a good manager. He allows discipline to fall apart, then spends all his time browbeating his subordinates.
This is why the American fought the British for Independence, and then the same judicial rot and authoritarianism got transplanted over here with the Judicial Act of 1789, and now the United States government is more despotic than the British government ever was.
Commonly held myth of history. That America had ever gotten free of the colonial juggernaut known as England.
Our Constitution is also a a fiction, a myth designed to make the ordinary person believe that they have some semblance of liberty. Constitution is a commercial contract between the State and the Corporation. Not the average person.

It's complicated but without re-inventing the wheel I'll refer you over to the works of a gentleman that goes by the name of the Informer. His well researched material can be found @ atgpress.com. Look under James Montgomery and the Informers material there.
It all has to do with contract law, not really civil liberties, etc. Remember, these men were aristocrats of their day, they only begrudgingly added the Bill of Rights.

Why can't they make movies like this anymore? We're now subjected to countless romantic comedies and superhero movies. I can't remember the last time I got excited for a movie soon to be released.
What a remarkable film about leadership and maritime hierarchy. Hopkins is so good as William Bligh. This is one of those films I can watch many times because of the great lines.
Bligh was probably not such a bad captain, but he made the mistake to spent more than 5 months in Tahiti with his crew and was unable to restore naval discipline afterwards.
@ 1:30 Anthony Hopkins had a Robert De niro moment lmfaoo he's like "No?! That's what you said? NO!" LMFAOOO and the face he made ahahahah I loved this film
@joelang6126 "Ive seen a copy of the script" - well, thats all the evidence I need - an unverifiable claim. So you studied the script so well, that you specifically remembered that word (in a script containing thousands). Convienient. Or a lie. I just can't decide which
Yeah, Hopkins was an excellent Bligh. And this movie as a whole is decidedly pro-Bligh and anti-Christian. It makes the argument that the native girls were what turned the men against Bligh. All they wanted was to hook up with the native girls. True? Who can say?
he has admitted in past interviews that he is a bit obsessive with remembering his lines in movies, its almost as if he was making out like it is a bad thing or something to be asshamed of? I reckon its great and it seems to pay off for him!
Most British people minus the royal family have to be the best and most entertaining people on Earth
Mel Gibson was great in this movie and was the main reason it did well. Daniel Day Lewis was an unknown and Anthony Hopkins was an extra treat. Great movie!
Note, I said the 'beginning' of a perverted society. Prior to Fletcher Christian , Pitcairn Island was uninhabited. It has been inhabited by the descendents of mutineers Fletcher Christian, and island women who went there with him. It still is inhabited.
You heard of recent court trials; sexually abused girls there? That sort of behaviour is endemic among Islanders; they did not see it as wrong, even when convicted?
If you are not aware of these trials, where have you been hiding lately?
I first noticed Daniel Day Lewis when I watched "The Bounty" in 1984, with a cast that it was very hard to stand out in (including Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, and Liam Neeson). This was my choice for the film that should have won the Best Picture of 1984 Oscar (the year they gave it to, ulp, Gandhi!), along with acting nominations all around. Instead, it didnt even get one!
Well, you've gotta admit, that ship WAS filthy...history would've turned out completely different if only someone had thought to bring some Mr. Clean.
Bligh is homosexual. That is why he's angry at Fletcher. He can't handel the fact that he is gay and he takes it out on the crew. Remember the look of dismay in his face when he see's Fletcher getting close with one of the native women? It couldn't be more obvious.
maybe, but consider also that he is a man that is attached and loyal to the British Navy doctrine and philosophy , he does not tolerate insubordination and undiscipline on his ship.
This movie is a depiction of how a bunch of incompetent officers failed to enforce discipline aboard a ship. Despite the great actors some scenes are just too embarrassing to watch.
Not quite so. Revolt is in human nature, it's the officers' job to stand by their captain and help him exercise authority over the ship's crew. An officer may disagree with the captain in private, but NEVER in front of the men. Without discipline a ship is doomed, together with all the men aboard. Fletcher Christian is a disgrace, he has chosen a totally wrong career.
William Bligh- an amazing figure- he was hero and villain both. The Admiralty loved him, his subordinates hated him- and when they sent him to be Governor of the colony in New South Wales years later, he inspired another mutiny down here!
@SuperWestworld Lots of interesting people were in this. Don't forget Liam Nesson (spelling?) and Bernard Hill. He played the Captain of the Titanic in James Cameron's 1997 movie.
This video is so good to me, because i'm reading the book munity on the bounty (John Boyne) and it help's my imagination. I had never seen this movie.
@evemusico I have just also finished reading Mutiny on the Bounty by Norman and Hall. Check out the "Bounty Trilogy"
featuring the books Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea (about Bligh and the open boat voyage he and his men had to take after the mutiny), and Pitcairns Island (about Christian and his fellow mutineers after the mutiny.)
nobody will get the true picture of what happened,maybe if the admiralty had enlisted marines on board the bounty capt bligh would have had more order on his ship and maybe fletcher christen had to much pussy available to him
Still the myth continues that William Bligh was a cruel and inhumane commander The records show he punished his sailors no harsher than any other captains of the time. He was an exceptional navigator who proved his worth under Captain Cook`s 3rd voyage. This movie portrays him as despot and a madman - a terrible slur.
The theme of this film by Vangelis realy sets the tone of the film as a mood piece, some of the acting could be considered over the top, who knows if Bligh really was that hot headed and I dont think much was shown in the way of his actual voyage in the long boat those 700 lonely miles apart from the island but the film is memorable

Bligh was probably not such a bad captain, but he made the mistake to spent more than 5 months in Tahiti with his crew and was unable to restore naval discipline afterwards.

DanielTheWalrus 1 year ago
Yeah, Hopkins was an excellent Bligh. And this movie as a whole is decidedly pro-Bligh and anti-Christian. It makes the argument that the native girls were what turned the men against Bligh. All they wanted was to hook up with the native girls. True? Who can say?

Hopkins has to be one of the greatest ever actors
he has admitted in past interviews that he is a bit obsessive with remembering his lines in movies, its almost as if he was making out like it is a bad thing or something to be asshamed of? I reckon its great and it seems to pay off for him!
Most British people minus the royal family have to be the best and most entertaining people on Earth

Mel Gibson was great in this movie and was the main reason it did well. Daniel Day Lewis was an unknown and Anthony Hopkins was an extra treat. Great movie!

Everybody was good except Gibson, the most wooden and bland Fletcher Christian ever.
JuanMacready 1 year ago
Note, I said the 'beginning' of a perverted society. Prior to Fletcher Christian , Pitcairn Island was uninhabited. It has been inhabited by the descendents of mutineers Fletcher Christian, and island women who went there with him. It still is inhabited.
You heard of recent court trials; sexually abused girls there? That sort of behaviour is endemic among Islanders; they did not see it as wrong, even when convicted?
If you are not aware of these trials, where have you been hiding lately?

I first noticed Daniel Day Lewis when I watched "The Bounty" in 1984, with a cast that it was very hard to stand out in (including Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, and Liam Neeson). This was my choice for the film that should have won the Best Picture of 1984 Oscar (the year they gave it to, ulp, Gandhi!), along with acting nominations all around. Instead, it didnt even get one!

Bligh is homosexual. That is why he's angry at Fletcher. He can't handel the fact that he is gay and he takes it out on the crew. Remember the look of dismay in his face when he see's Fletcher getting close with one of the native women? It couldn't be more obvious.
tedfixed 1 year ago
maybe, but consider also that he is a man that is attached and loyal to the British Navy doctrine and philosophy , he does not tolerate insubordination and undiscipline on his ship.

what do you mean gay??? the man had a wife and kids! i think if anything he was racist! he just couldn't stand being around the natives!

This movie is a depiction of how a bunch of incompetent officers failed to enforce discipline aboard a ship. Despite the great actors some scenes are just too embarrassing to watch.

Bligh was a good captain, he only wanted a good ship, his men were degenerates.
stevensw 1 year ago
@stevensw
Not quite so. Revolt is in human nature, it's the officers' job to stand by their captain and help him exercise authority over the ship's crew. An officer may disagree with the captain in private, but NEVER in front of the men. Without discipline a ship is doomed, together with all the men aboard. Fletcher Christian is a disgrace, he has chosen a totally wrong career.

William Bligh- an amazing figure- he was hero and villain both. The Admiralty loved him, his subordinates hated him- and when they sent him to be Governor of the colony in New South Wales years later, he inspired another mutiny down here!

@evemusico I have just also finished reading Mutiny on the Bounty by Norman and Hall. Check out the "Bounty Trilogy"
featuring the books Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea (about Bligh and the open boat voyage he and his men had to take after the mutiny), and Pitcairns Island (about Christian and his fellow mutineers after the mutiny.)

nobody will get the true picture of what happened,maybe if the admiralty had enlisted marines on board the bounty capt bligh would have had more order on his ship and maybe fletcher christen had to much pussy available to him

Still the myth continues that William Bligh was a cruel and inhumane commander The records show he punished his sailors no harsher than any other captains of the time. He was an exceptional navigator who proved his worth under Captain Cook`s 3rd voyage. This movie portrays him as despot and a madman - a terrible slur.
