The Bounty Mutiny and others

The title of Mutiny on Blood was wrongly named. In fact, this is a bloodless mutiny. It is better to literally translate as the Bounty Mutiny.

There are several details worthy of our attention.

One is that after the rebellion, the first officer did not announce the execution of all those who disobeyed him, like all the successful victors of the revolution, but gave them a small boat. Although the hope of survival in this way is very slim, it is still a way of life. At this point, it fully reflects the West's respect for human rights.

The second point is the captain, who is also an amazing person. He was drifting 7000 kilometers on the sea in that small boat. For 49 days, there was a serious shortage of water and food. There was no sextant, and there was not even a map. Successfully reached the land, none of the 19 people who accompanied the ship died, creating a miracle in the history of navigation. Of course, there is a certain element of luck in it, but the captain’s own navigation experience and skills have also helped them a lot. This is also a god. people.

Regarding the true cause of the mutiny, I have checked some historical data. There are many statements about the captain. One is that he was not harsh in fact. On the contrary, it was precisely because of his laxity that the mutiny occurred. The cause of the mutiny is that after a few months of life on the island of Tahiti, some soldiers do not want to return to the UK, while the rest want to go back, which led to the mutiny, which is why they give those who are willing The reason for the people going back in a boat. The captain continued to be his captain after this incident, commanded some battles, and died in another mutiny. This is also a mystery. If he is not harsh, how could he die in a mutiny again? Can't tell.

Finally, it's about Gable. I remembered Gable as the person with a mustache in Gone with the Wind, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome when he was young. But watching a handsome guy perform, I always feel that his acting skills are supported by his appearance, which is not enjoyable enough. But look at the captain, fat, ugly, but really vivid. So when Gable becomes ugly in Gone with the Wind, it becomes even more attractive.

    There is sunshine, sandy beaches, sailing, beautiful women, and life miserable.

    A still slightly mild revolutionary story. The three actors have their own strengths, but the most impressive is Charles Laughton.

Mutiny on the Bounty quotes
