Review of The Bounty (1984) by Zahran Z — 20 Feb 2011
The Bounty tells the incredibly true story of Captain Bligh and the mutiny on his ship. Sir Anthony Hopkins gives a memorable performance as Bligh, hard-nosed and strict, displaying chilling intensity at all of the right moments.
Gibson provides one of his finest performances as the mutineer, Fletcher Christian, whose heartbreak for Tahitian Tevaite Vernette drives him to make a hasty decision. Superstars Neeson and Day-Lewis are under-used in this script and could've really added to the realism provided by Hopkins and Gibson.
Be prepared for a lot of tribal nudity, though the nudity is never distasteful or dirty. This film will create an appreciation toward the vastness of the ocean as the beautiful scenery engulfs you into this oceanic world.
