Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

SnoopyStyle It's 1787. The HMS Bounty is departing from Portsmouth for Tahiti. Captain William Bligh (Charles Laughton) is a brutal tyrant but his lieutenant Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) is much more humane to the crew. The ship is small, the quarters are tight, the journey is long and the food is bad.Clark Gable is a great movie star. I wish he isn't quite so jovial and so clean cut. His smile undercuts some of the tension and the needed grittiness. He is a very modern movie hero which sticks out a bit. Laughton is terrific as the arrogant Bligh. He is the real star of the show. Filming on water always adds a certain amount of difficulties which one must account for. It's an old school Hollywood fare with some good work done.

michaelhirakida Mutiny On The Bounty is something of a timeless tale. Fletcher Christian leads a bunch of mutineers to take over Captain William Bligh's ship which makes for one of the most exciting classics. From the beginning where people are lashed 2 dozen times, to the stunning court trial to lots of other things, the movie can be exciting.I will be comparing this with the 1962 version which was released 30 years after the novel. But for now lets take a look at the basics briefly.Clark Gable is great as Fletcher Christian. The movie portrays him as a man who questions Captain Bligh's punishments and finally has had enough of him and takes over the ship. Clark Gable looked good for the role as he did look like 23 year old. Charles Laughton as Captain William Bligh I'm mixed on. On one hand, he is a big threat, on the other hand, his overacting is nearly funny. So I can't really say that its a bad performance, but it nearly goes to a 'Camp' value.Tahiti looks wonderful and looking at it is a marvel. Some scenes can be slow like the romance scenes between the officers and natives but it plays a part in the story for later on.So this version is very well done even if Charles Laughton's performance as Bligh is mixed. But its considered to be the definitive version of the story and it is well done with the technical aspects and other stuff. 90/100 A-
