Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
elvircorhodzic Mutiny on the Bounty is one sumptuous, serious and very realistic movie. The story is based on a novel, which is based on the true story. The historical accuracy is questionable. I'm not one of those people who believe that film story should blindly follow the facts offense which is inspired. This is one of the reasons why this movie I think one great sea adventure.Set design, atmosphere, authenticity and acting are top notch. One of the few high-budget films that did not take studio in ruin. In the thirties of the last century it was an amazing success.I felt American tone in the British environment. It sounds intimidating, but I am of the opinion that the director did it for a reason. In one interesting story covered various topics. I think this is a movie in which everyone can find a segment that he'll like that. The heart of the story is a constant complication that gets climax as sailor rebellion. In the center of the plot are the two main characters so that the excellent acting contributed to a better effect.Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh is described as a brutal sadist. In several scenes we witness the brutality: when sailors put in chains or when ordering the flogging a dead man. The man who wants to destroy the human spirit, and at the same time calling for certain disciplinary view. But in one part of the film he shows the qualities great sailor, a spiritual leader, a motivator, a wise and capable captain. The desire for revenge and extreme conditions to change human personality. Laughton had to impose in addition to Gable. I enjoyed a brilliant performance by one of the major villains in the history of cinema. This is worthy of an Oscar.Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian without his famous mustache is the complete opposite of Captain Bligh. Exemplary and intelligent master's mate becomes the leader of the rebellion. Just a man who appreciates true values. Gable is perfect in the role.Franchot Tone (Byam) is a character with which everything begins and ends. I am convinced that the director wanted to induce the audience to perceive the essence of the story from the Byam perspective. I think that at the end of Byam maybe a little exaggerated his role. All in all not bad.Small roles are also spice up the story. Sam (Herbert Mundin) and Bacchus Dudley Diggins) are my favorite.A brutal, horrible, bold, exciting, dramatic and romantic story.This movie, I could not call epic, but certainly excellent.
grantss 1787. HMS Bounty sets sail from England for Tahiti in the South Pacific. Her First Lieutenant is Fletcher Christian, an officer who cares about the welfare of his men. Her captain, Captain Bligh, on the other hand, drives his men mercilessly and punishes them for the most insignificant thing, to the point of manufacturing infractions. Bligh becomes universally hated by the crew and a confrontation with Christian appears inevitable...Decent telling of the (true) story of the Bounty. The sailing scenes are quite authentic and you get a good feel for what life at sea must have been like in the late-1700s. Good work by Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh - he captured the menace and maliciousness of Bligh very well. Clark Gable is fine as Christian, though at times maybe a bit too cavalier and cocky to be naval officer.Not great though. The story does feel a bit dry at times and is fairly conventionally told. I much preferred the 1984 version starring Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson. (I haven't yet seen the 1962 version starring Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard).Won the 1936 Best Picture Oscar.
tahmeedkc Mutiny on the bounty is one of the finest films I have ever seen, and a rare beast of a film at that. It succeeds in everything a film should, with an interesting story, idyllic and realistic acting, and a wonderful feeling. The leading performances of Charles Laughton, Clarke Gable and Franchot Tone are the ones of legend. The fact that the 3 of them canceled each other both in the film and in the Oscar for Best Actor is a common fact. Laughton's scenes as the ruthless Captain Bligh succeed not only in making me believe he was a British Naval Officer of the late 18th century, but also made me loather him. Rarely do we see actors throwing themselves into their roles like this. Gable's Fletcher Christian is perhaps some of the more daring characters I have seen on the screen, with Gable wisely not trying his hand at a British accent and shaving that iconic mustache. Gable's performance is among his career's best, and he seemed to fit naturally within the plot and his talented co-stars. The scenes when he finally loses his temper and lets go of his bottled emotions are awe-striking. Franchot Tone, in one of his first film roles, steals the show with his earnest, wise and passionate turn as Roger Byam. His speech in the final moments of the film is the greatest monologue I have heard in a film, especially due to his criticism of brutality at the seas, and that of Captain Bligh. If the Academy even saw that scene, they should have given the thing to him. One of the best movies Ever.
AaronCapenBanner Frank Lloyd directed this Academy Award winning(best picture) adaptation of the famous novel based on the true historical account of how Fletcher Christian(played by Clark Gable) set sail with Captain Bligh(played by Charles Laughton) to Tahiti on a trading mission. The place seems like paradise, and Christian leads a group of men who do not want to leave it, and also in rebellion of Bligh's tyranny and cruelty, as he abuses his position of power in brutally punishing his men. Bligh and his few supporters are cast adrift at sea, vowing revenge, which he will indeed get... Fine adventure film with solid acting and direction. While viewer sympathizes with Fletcher's plight, his mutinous actions are doomed, as they and their women are forced to flee to a new land, with their fate unresolved.
