cinemajesty "Mutiny on the Bounty" has been watched several times in the past five years by me. I watched the film in scenic pieces or as a whole experience, which strikes me every time how closely the movie still represents a nowadays labor society.The workers as the ship's crew treated by their fore-workers represented by the ship's officers. The fore-workers commanded by their superiors personified through Captain Bligh. The bystanders or above-the-law individuals represented by the ship's doctor, who drinks himself to death and a scientist represented by the character of a biologist, who loses all his research and scientific probes though the ship's mutiny.Nevertheless, in 2017 it feels like an idealized version on fate, when the from-privileged family coming character of Byam comes out clean from all charges and loses his guilt to start another adventure of life in the end, which gives me another proof of how Hollywood's dream factory keeps on manipulating audiences around the world to obey their daily treats, keeping busy at work and earning the right to party to avoid questioning essential topics on a way of life in the 21st century.On the other side, "Mutiny on the Bounty" also lets me surf in a sea of nostalgia of being able to identify with three leading characters. Director Frank Lloyd kept the screen-timing between the characters of Bligh, Christian and Byam in such a near-perfect equilibrium that the film is able to serve as a screen-writing role model for a triangle relationship in character-driven cinema. Scenes are not always as well connected as in a David Lean movie but the sequential grid keeps the suspense high enough to feel the entertainment factor in two-hour-plus movie, where minimal-invasive cinematography leaves no missing camera angle to wish for.The film's secret, which has already been revealed previously, subsides in a still-remaining universal question of what kind of man I want to be in life before death will end it all in an instant. The answer can not be given in full. The main characters' ethics are fluent. A flux of judgment must be felt in full-extension of all senses at any given situation. So that I am forced to conclude with a notion on life that I will be given everything and nothing in each moment in time. The trick may be to avoid lingering in any emotional state for too long and keep on moving to the next.

The_Film_Cricket If you live long enough you will eventually fall under the employment of someone who reminds you of Captain Bligh. It seems odd to say, but he could stand for all the stiff, unflinching, immobile employers whose duty is to a strict regimen of routine while any consideration of the human element is basically superfluous. What's worse is the moment when you can sense of perverse joy in their sadism and the uncomfortable feeling that they are smarter than you are.In life this is a problem, but at the movie it is the stuff of great drama. Great villains have no filter, no rules. The space of their actions is unpredictable and worse, they can reveal levels of themselves that are deeper and cleverer than we might imagine. That is to the key to the most memorable of movie villains, Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader, Harry Lime, Nurse Ratched, Hans Beckert, The Terminator, Dr, Szell, HAL 9000, and The Wicked Witch of the West. There is always something up their sleeve.This also key to Captain Bligh. All through Mutiny on the Bounty we follow the machinations of a man for whom duty to the crown is more important than the attentiveness to his crew, a man who is a sadist, ordering punishments and cutting rations simply because he has the authority to do so.Mutiny on the Bounty is loosely based on the real-life 1789 takeover the HMS Bounty after the ship's company and crew endured months of cruel tyranny and punishments and severe cutbacks of the basic necessities of food and water. Bligh commands The Bounty with an iron will, and we get a sense of his diseased mind even before the ship leaves port. He orders the flogging of a man charged with striking an officer even after the ship's doctor informs him that the accused is dead. He demands strict adherence to the rules even in death.Our point of view is led by Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable), the ship's first mate, an officer who is tough but very fair – he is the kind of tough but tolerable officer who can command the seas as well as his crew with a balance of humanity and efficiency. The movie that surrounds him is somewhat simple-minded. It seems loosely constructed as a model on which to portray his cruelty that leads to the inevitable mutiny.Laughton's performance is proof that even the most mundane material can be livened by one performance. And what a performance it is. It is all in his eyes. When Christian confronts him there is a buried insecurity, a paranoia that runs down into his bones. He knows that if he is too lenient on his crew that they will take advantage but if he rules with an iron fist they will keep their place.Eventually, Christian rouses the men to rise against their tyrannical master and take command of the ship. In the most famous moment, as Bligh and his loyal followers are about to be set out to sea in a small boat he makes a famous proclamation to the revolting crew: "Casting me adrift thirty-five hundred 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!" Fletcher Christian tells him "I'll take my chances against the law - You'll take yours against the sea". We are conditioned, like Christian, to believe that no man and his crew could survive against the open seas in a small boat. But we are startled to find that the most frightening aspect of Bligh is that he is really smarter than we think. Left for dead on the rough seas in a small boat with little to eat and little to drink, it is assumed that he and the crew will perish but Christian has overlooked his skills as a seaman. An expert navigator, Bligh guides the small boat on a 3600 mile journey to safety, to the coast of Timor in the East Dutch Indies while The Bounty turns toward the isolated safety of Tahiti.What stays with me in Captain Bligh is the immobile manner. There's something that we can all identify with, working for someone who is hardbound to the letter of the rules but is ignorant of the human condition. What we miss is that there's a reason that Bligh is in command and the movie reveals that when he and his crew are set adrift. Bligh, ever the master seaman, makes a 3600 mile journey in a tiny boat to Timor in the West Indies. Bearded, exhausted, he proclaims that "We've beaten the sea itself".The performance would become Laughton's legacy but for Laughton himself he felt that he gave better performances elsewhere. He didn't disown the role but he felt that it didn't fill the capacity of what he could do. Yet, I couldn't deny him the performance, it is a brilliant, tricky performance, one at which a seemingly one-dimensional character outsmarts even those of us who think we have him figured out.

pruthvishrathod Based on a famous incident in the history of British Navy, Mutiny on the Bounty is the cinematic representation of the famous mutiny against Captain Bligh led by Fletcher Christian. It has brilliant production values. Without any special effects, it nicely develops the feeling of the extremely exhausting and troublesome journey. From the beginning, it develops the sparks of the revolt. It nicely shows how all the small incidents and different thinking led to such a big revolt.The most and possibly only notable flaw with the film is its historical accuracy. Being a mainstream film, the characterization is binary. Captain Bligh is painted as antagonist and every action of Fletcher Christian is glorified in the film. The film has been made from the perspective of mutineers, considering this there isn't any big flaw in this film. However, I felt the role of Charles Laughton is not utilized properly.Apart from that I liked editing and entire production. The film stands tall when it comes to performances. The heat between Bligh and Christian is quite amusing to see. Charles Laughton is fantastic once again with his brilliant ascent. He brilliantly portrayed ruthless and inhuman actions of Bligh at the same time his character is a great seaman. On the other hand, it was quite an experience to see Clark Gable at his peak. His character is a good combination of a wise gentleman and an angry young man. Franchot Tone was also good. Movie has good dialogues and some fine monologues.Apart from being little partial towards a few things, It is a great adventure film.

Koundinya Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios' Best Picture till date.HMS Bounty is all set to sail from Portsmouth to Tahiti lead by Captain Bligh. The ship is need for a few workers and everyone is intimidated when they get to know the ship will sail under the command of Captain William Bligh. Captain Bligh, played by Charles Laughton, is a ruthless man who doesn't share a camaraderie with the crew as Captain Fletcher, played by Clark Gable, does. The conflict starts when Captain Bligh punishes a man to get on top of the ship despite the inclement weather in the sea. The captain-crew relation further strains when the workers are ill-treated by the Captain and those loyal to him. The mutineers, lead by Captain Fletcher, jettison Captain Bligh and those loyal to him and they carry on their voyage to Tahiti. Captain Bligh and his acolytes venture the sea, and after more than a month of starvation with nothing but water in the vicinity, the emaciated men reach shore. Captain Fletcher and his men reach Tahiti, trade with the local people, make settlements and even marry the women of the country. In the meanwhile, Captain Bligh and his men get aboard another ship and are on a pursuit to incarcerate Captain Fletcher and the mutineers and bring them to the book in England. Captain Fletcher and his men spot the ship when it's a more than a day's sail away and flee from Tahiti. Captain Byam and a few men who are neutral on the mutiny wish to stay back only to be taken to England for prosecution. The men are sentenced to Capital punishment. Captain Byam is proved not guilty and is promoted in rank. Fletcher and his men inhabit a deserted island.Charles Laughton portrays Captain Bligh as a tyrant, care-for-nothing, petulant captain who expects to be revered and feared by his crew. Never does he grin nor smile and carries a straight-face throughout the movie. Charles Laughton has made Captain Bligh one of the greatest on-screen villains with ease. Clark Gable and Franchot Tone have performed really well.A true epic that is far ahead of its times by several "nautical miles".
