The Bounty Reviews
-
Although it's been recounted in books and films many times, I've never heard the story of the famous Mutiny on the Bounty. Don't know how this fares next to the classic films, but I loved this telling. Lush, fascinating, and moody, it features terrific performances by Anthony Hopkins as Lt. Bligh, and a young, fiery Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian. Although only 2 hours, I could have easily watched another hour - most of all, I wanted to see what happened to the mutineers and Tahitians who settled on Pitcairn Island. Lucky for me, the history books are full of accounts. I've been a huge fan of Vangelis' score for years (the main theme/ending credits are gorgeous, ethereal and haunting), and the movie did not disappoint.
Roger Donaldson' s masterpiece !
Sixty one years elapsed from the first release of the famous Opera prima with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. But his long waiting was successful, because this superb cast headed by Anthony Hopkins, accompanied by, Edward Fox, Laurence Olivier, Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis and Mel Gibson and the solid script which recreates with admirable accuracy the real events that took place around this sinister story, make a must-see.
To my mind, this film signed and even determined the turning point as actor and future filmmaker to Mel Gibson
