Plot:
The Bounty leaves Portsmouth in 1787. Its destination: to sail to Tahiti and load bread-fruit. Captain Bligh will do anything to get there as fast as possible, using any means to keep up a strict disc...( read more

"Midshipman Edward 'Ned' Young: Fletcher, I'm proud to be with you.
Fletcher Christian: Well you've done rather well, Ned. Promoted to the rank of criminal. Not even 20 and a death sentence on your head."
Many have criticized Brando's portrayal of Christian, and I simply do not understand this.
Did we see the same film?
This is one of his best performance.
But also Trevor Howard is terrific playing the role of the Capt. William Bligh.
The story is beautiful.
After the hardship of a horrendous voyage to the island, the romance and humor of the Tahitian sequence was a welcome relief.
It's a long movie but you'll never have the sensation of being sit on your couch.
Watching this is pure pleasure. Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard are fantastic. It's very nicely shot and done. A classic that isn't likely to sink in the grades.
Awesome.
I've never seen such colours and such beautyshots of a ship before! This is pure pleasure and it does not feel like it lasts three whole hours. Marlon Brando is superb!
And how I miss those technicolor days..
"The Bounty leaves Portsmouth in 1787. Its destination: to sail to Tahiti and load bread-fruit. "
What would be the point of fruit that tastes like bread?
A masterpiece of cinematic presentation. Not only well shot but extremely well acted with the all-time icon Brando and legendary actor Richard Harris. Worth multiple viewings.
Idk, I thought it was just a little long winded. I thought Brando played his character too softly and Howard wasn't tryannical enough. Sorry, go watch the original.
The actors and casting makes Mutiny on the Bounty a bench mark with Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard and Richard Harris
Captain Bligh: Now don't mistake me. I'm not advising cruelty or brutality with no purpose. My point is that cruelty with purpose is not cruelty - it's efficiency. Then a man will never disobey once he's watched his mate's backbone laid bare. He'll see the flesh jump, hear the whistle of the whip for the rest of his life.
One of the most ruthless villains in History: Captain Bligh.
Sometime you stay with Friendz-ships for as long as you can. Then you abaddon, or in other cases you take over for those you care about. Risking scorn, clicks, and other sad tales...you create the Mutiny. Because you know, none of them are as bad as Bligh, they are mostly those you are better off without, regardless of what period you use to end it.
First of all, you need to work really, really hard to overlook Brando's atrocious attempt at an English accent - obviously something not covered by the school of method acting. Secondly, the representation of the natives on the island of Tahiti comes across as a little comic book to me. And thirdly, the film is a little bit overlong (just shy of three hours). However, that's all that is wrong with this movie and there's a heck of a lot that's right. It's well-made, with great special effects and location shots. The cast all turn in fantastic performances - including the plum-mouthed Marlon. You genuinely hate Captain Bligh (played by the brilliant Trevor Howard), although deep down you understand the pressures and the pride that are forcing him to act the way he does. Brando's character is presented as a complex man, wrestling with what he knows is right and the life he doesn't want to give up. The ending of the film is genuinely moving (won't give it away) - largely because of Brando's fantastic skill as an actor. All in all not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon - and one to watch for Brando fans.
I've looked at it before and it looks long and drawn out. I really like the Charles Laughton version.
