The Caine Mutiny Comments

    The rhythm is a little weird, and the emotional drama is so tasteless. Curious what a stage version starring Henry Fonda would look...

    Reminds me of a perverted head teacher and her loyal head teacher, alas, I said that everyone should go to see if they are sick. The film is okay, the first half is narrative, and the second half does not focus on psychoanalysis, but on the moral...

    The movie is more like an objective record of all the military regulations, storms and actual combat and the human heart of the world in this mutiny. After watching it, I feel better about the dialogue drama, because it is indeed a difficult task to explain the whole story through only two court trials. And this is indeed an awkward and complicated incident, which cannot be assumed or repeated. It may be legally adjudicated, but it is difficult to make a moral...

    The court debate scene was really exciting, and the lawyer's remarks after the end were even more worthy of reflection, which made the film's theme more profound. Humphrey Bogart's performance is...

    Bogart maintains a perfect record, but there are problems, which is really worth thinking about. btw, Bogart did a great...

    The power of debate

    I watched a play adapted from this film, starring Feng Yuanzheng. The play mainly played the part of the court debate, which may not be the same as the content of the movie. But the courtroom debate is also the essence of the film version.

    During a voyage at sea, when encountering a storm, the...

    Same content, two stories

    I have never experienced such a movie-watching experience: I watched two versions of the same drama starring actors, and then I watched a movie with the same story as the theme, and the narrative style of the movie and the drama was completely different, making the same content to watch. Seems like...

The Caine Mutiny quotes

  • Lt. Keith: I made a mistake, but I don't see why I should be singled out for it. Everyone's goofed off around here. The Caine's a slack ship. The men act like a pack of cutthroats and the decks look like a Singapore junk.

    Captain DeVriess: I take it then you must also strongly disapprove of me.

    [Keith hesitates]

    Captain DeVriess: Go ahead, Keith, man to man.

    Lt. Keith: Sir, I'm in no position to approve or disapprove. I only know my conception of a captain seems different from your own.

    Captain DeVriess: I'll take it under advisement. Since you feel so bitter, perhaps what's in the dispatch will brighten your day. As you can see, Keith, I'm being relieved of command. Next week this time, you'll have yourself a new captain: Lt. Cmdr. Philip Francis Queeg. Feel better?

    Lt. Keith: Definitely, sir!

  • Doctor Dickson: If I may speak, sir, I would like to protest the counsel's twisting of words. There's a big difference between real mental illness and minor mental disturbances.

    Barney Greenwald: Let me put it this way, doctor: could Captain Queeg have been disabled by the severe stain of command?

    Doctor Dickson: That's absurdly hypothetical.

    Barney Greenwald: Is it? Have you ever had any sea duty, doctor?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: Have you ever been at sea?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: How long have you been in the Navy?

    Doctor Dickson: Five months.

    Barney Greenwald: Have you ever had any dealings with ship's captains before this case?

    Doctor Dickson: No.

    Barney Greenwald: Then I suggest that you cannot set yourself up as an authority on the strain of command, and thus you may be completely wrong about Captain Queeg.

    [to the prosecutor]

    Barney Greenwald: Your witness.
