The Mutiny on the Bounty (English: Mutiny on the Bounty), a mutiny on the HMS Bounty ship of the British Royal Navy, occurred on April 28, 1789. The crew of the Bounty ship elected Fletcher Christian (Fletcher Christian), together against the captain William Bligh (William Bligh). The crew successfully dismissed the captain. The rebellious crew drove the captain William Bly and the crew loyal to him to the boat, while the remaining crew left. The crew finally settled in Tahiti or the Pitcairn Islands, while the Bounty ship was burned in the sea near the Pitcairn Islands. Residents of the Pitcairn Islands, descendants of the mutiny crew of the Bounty ship. The movie "The Mutiny on Blood" is based on this story.

Different from the positive energy of advocating freedom and unity in the movie, one can find that among the rebel crew members and the Tahitian islanders who ran away with them, men 15 women 12, which means that the history of the Pitcairn Islands After the male hormones are out of control, the disaster has been buried. Sure enough, history records that they quickly had civil strife. After only ten years, only one of the nine crew members was still alive. After 14 years, they were pardoned by the British for their crimes of rebellion. Nowadays, the custom of having sex with underage girls is still prevailing on this island, and the government is facing accusations. It is not so much a custom, as it is simply to satisfy the needs of sexual desire and reproduction. The crew who defected in order to resist tyranny would never have thought that the lack of discipline and moral restraint made this almost isolated island turn them into another captain "William Bligh".

In the film, I gave this hastily a scene: In order to escape the British army, the mutinous crew sailed for a long time at sea. The beautiful Tahitian women danced on the boat, and suddenly they were hugged and kissed by the unbearable crew. , The woman’s Tahitian husband immediately rushed forward, seeing a riot, and Clark Gable (played as Fletcher, respected by the crew) easily resolved the crisis. In reality, we have reason to believe that anything horrible and bloody will happen, and this huge ship that must rely on everyone to sail will choose to sacrifice the weak to reach its destination. "Lord of the Flies" shows us the speed of moral decay after losing contact with the civilized world from a child's perspective. "Lord of the Flies" is a straightforward interpretation of the road to survival on an isolated island with more wolves and fewer flesh. The order and rules on the deserted island are completely formulated by a powerful person. This person can use belief, power, prestige, technology, etc., to become the islanders’ support, to comfort their weak souls, and more importantly, to obliterate their human rights. The cognition and the yearning for freedom finally achieved the purpose of private possession of residents as one of the island’s resources.

Anyone can become a cruel, selfish and abusive captain William Bly.

The film "The Mutiny on Blood" started the era of blockbuster films. It has been a key project in the film industry that has invested heavily in production until now: the heroic resistance of the crew when several ocean storms came was portrayed vividly, and the same, angry The contrast between the waves and the tiny ships is also impressive. As a black-and-white film in the 1930s, I had to give it 32 likes. In the performance of the character and the transition of the plot, it is straightforward, but it is still within the rules of the old movie. The three leading male actors of the film have all won the Oscar nominations for best actor, which is the only Oscar history. Here is a small interruption, the same shocking history on the Oscars is "The Spring Festival Night of Spiritual Desire", in which all the actors have been nominated for Oscars.

The three starring roles in the violent Captain Bligh, the courageous Fleck crew, and the upright student Byme have a distinct personality. In contrast, I prefer Captain Bligh’s interpretation: he certainly has the side of abusing the crew, but also As a captain, he has the courage to direct everyone out of the trap, and he has the wisdom and courage to face danger. The times and systems have limited his thinking, and he should have made more achievements with Captain Cook. And Clark's Flake has the courage and courage to think and dare to do. He has the gentleness of his sons and daughters and the blood of a heroic man. It feels that this role is completely paving the way for Bryder in "Gone with the Wind". As for the honest student Bym, such people are needed in every age, who not only support the existing system, but also mend it with loyalty.

A semi-themed film under the banner of rebellion, the era needs rebellion for civilization to progress.

Mutiny on the Bounty quotes

  • Captain William Bligh: [in the boat] Casting me adrift 3,500 miles from a port of call. You're sending me to my doom, eh? Well, you're wrong, Christian! I'll take this boat as she floats to England, if I must! I'll live to see you, all of you, hanging from the highest yardarm in the British Fleet!

  • Lt. Fletcher Christian: There's something I want you to do.

    Byam: Gladly. What is it?

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: One never knows what may happen on a voyage like this. If, for any reason, I don't return to England, I want you to see my parents.

    Byam: Well, why shouldn't you return to England.

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: Why? Because I can't stand this devil's work much longer. One day I'll forget this discipline and break his neck.

    Byam: Wait until we're back in England. The Admiralty will save you the trouble.

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: Well, in any case, I'd like you to see my parents.

    Byam: Of course. Where do they live?

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: In Cumberland at Maincordare. I've almost forgotten what the old place looks like. I haven't seen in ten years. But I do remember a tapestry in the hall with ships and islands on it. Perhaps that's what sent me off to sea. I don't know. In any case, I'd like you to see my home. If anything should happen, tell my father and mother that you knew me.

    Byam: You can count on me.
