a strange movie

The Mutiny of the Kane Ship is the weirdest movie I've ever seen.
I can't rate it, but think it's worth a look.

At the beginning of the movie, I thought it was a war movie, but there was no war.
Then I thought it was a love movie, but it turned out that love was just embellishment.
Bogart came in when I was fairly certain that this movie about how American heroes grew up was going to drop.
I admit that Bogart's acting completely deceived me, just as it deceived the officers in the movie.
Then as his paranoia gradually emerged, the film took on a bit of suspense again.
When I saw the courtroom scene I was pretty sure it was the climax of the whole show.
But the next scene is the heart of the story.

I think it's a moral anxiety war movie.
When I checked the imdb number, I found out that it was adapted from Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Walker, the guy who wrote about the war situation.
Looking at Walker's own experience, I think he is the intelligence officer who wrote the novel.

How should I put it, I just think that their moral standards are too high, and at that time, I can't even celebrate for clearing their own injustice - because Bogart, he played too successfully.

The Caine Mutiny quotes

  • Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: Aboard my ship, excellent performance is standard, standard performance is sub-standard, and sub-standard performance is not permitted to exist - that, I warn you.

  • Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: Anyone notice anything peculiar about Seaman First Class Urban? A shirt-tail hanging out of trousers is, I believe, regulation uniform for a bus boy, *not,* however, for a sailor in the United States Navy. These are some of the things we're going to start noticing again. Mr. Maryk, who is the morale officer?

    Lt. Steve Maryk: We don't have one, sir.

    Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: Who, then, is the junior ensign?

    Lt. Steve Maryk: Keith, sir.

    Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: Mr. Keith, you are now appointed the morale officer. In addition to your other duties, you are to see that shirttails are tucked inside trousers.

    Lt. Keith: Aye, aye, sir.

    Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: If I see one more shirttail flapping while I'm captain of this ship - woe betide the sailor; woe betide the OOD; and woe betide the morale officer, I kid you not!
