The story takes place on a warship named "Bondi". Captain William (Charles Laughton) is one of the best navigation experts in the industry, but this does not mean that he is a good man. Sailing on the vast ocean, a warship is a country. As the master of a country, William will not hesitate to use various cruel and violent methods to consolidate his status and authority as the "king".
For the tyranny carried out by the captain, the young sergeant Byme (Franchot Tone) and the first officer Chris (Clark Gable) were very dissatisfied. Under long-term repression, the uprising It broke out. Under the leadership of the two, the sailors subdued William and his men, but the kind people did not execute their tyrants, but banished them to the sea, and let the ocean choose their life and death. Freedom returned to the "Bondi", unfortunately, the story did not end there.

    Tyrant-like captain. Punishment all the time, and even the only doctor on the ship had to be whipped, because he could not be healed due to illness. Tahiti island residents, natural scenery is good. "I'm sorry I had to hit you." It's really pathetic for people to be abandoned on boats. Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

    A classic plot of oppression against the evolution of the system. But the experience of The Bounty in 1787 and the adventures of Shackleton's Endurance in 1915 were a different kind of legend. For example, what kind of person is William Bligh, who can survive two rebellions and return to England safely. The first time was the Bounty and the second time was when I was the Governor of New South Wales, Australia, because of the rum. Another example is that Christran brought a few people to Pitcairn, and soon Adams was the only one left, and he began to teach the Tahitian Bible. Magic. Then my autonomous VR went from a battlefield full of Gettysberg corpses to a eulogy of the Peloponnesian war to the bread tree on the Bounty and the descendants of the isle of Pitcairn. Sure enough, freedom is fought for by myself, esteeming courage to be freedom and freedom to be happy. Hundreds of years ago, humans could still find "new" land on Earth, but now they can only find it in space

Mutiny on the Bounty quotes

  • 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.

  • Lt. Fletcher Christian: [after looking at the book with the supplies] Mr. Bligh, I can't sign this book. No such amounts have been issued to the men.

    Captain William Bligh: You've signed with extra kegs the ship never carried.

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: I have, sir.

    Captain William Bligh: Then, why not? We all do it. We'd be fools if we didn't do it on a lieutenant's pay. I want to stow away enough to keep me out of the gutter when I'm too old for service.

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: I understand. A captain's prerogative. Ordinarily, I wouldn't mind.

    Captain William Bligh: Why is this case different?

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: Because the captains I've served with before didn't starve their men. They didn't save money by buying up the stinking meat that you put aboard in Tenerife. They didn't buy yams that would sicken a pig

    Captain William Bligh: [shouts] Silence!

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: They didn't call their men thieves and flog them in the bone because they've complained about it.

    Captain William Bligh: You impudent scoundrel! Sign that book!

    Lt. Fletcher Christian: I refuse! And you have no authority that can make me.

    Captain William Bligh: I haven't? I'll show you authority. Lay all hands aft! All hands aft!
