| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Good Bounty |
| I think most people will find this movie very good. Nice scenery and a real "at sea" feel. Captain Bligh had some character inconsistencies to me. I'll leave those for the viewer. In the end, Bligh comes off very well in this depiction, exonerated by the naval court of inquiry in London without reservation. The movie flashes back and forth from the testimony and story. No problem there. The plot lingers too long in the "paradisio" south sea island scenes. They had to get the characters in "love" [sex] affairs with the native women - and one in particular [Christian] takes up much too much time. Chief's daughter strikes out with Christian when Bligh finally rains on the parade. Bligh has his woman provided by the chief as well but he's a prude and lives the incompleted life [the Hollywood weltanschauung].
It's back to sea now fellows and Brit naval discipline sort of thing. Then the mutiny and back to the island for some more love [sex]. That doesn't go this time for the chief sees retribution from the Brits. Hollywood already had milked that one for all it was worth. On to Pitcairne Island, burn the ship, and settle. Good movie and a high recommendation, irrespective of the Hollywood craze for the hedonistic life, as the typical life. Excellent shipboard scenes and a good feel of being at sea in the late 18th century before the mast. |
