The Bounty [Region 2]

Love this film

Visually beautiful esp Mel Gibson. 😍 Acting is superb and a gripping narrative... true story!

A fabulous film with a haunting, mesmeric musical score by Vangelis. The characters are portrayed both sympathetically and with great understanding by the superb cast. Well worth watching.

This may not have quite the luscious and luxurious glamour of the famous Marlon Brando / Trevor Howard version but neither does it have Marlon Brando's farcical attempt at an English accent !!!Yes, the Brando/Hollywood version is undoubtedly very glamorous, sumptuous and "big budget." and very enjoyable. It is also a totally false version of events, one that was invented by the mutineers to justify their mutiny when all they really wanted to do was remain in the South Pacific.And Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson (in his youth) are not to be sniffed at. Trevor Howard was a fine actor on a good day but Anthony Hopkins is one of the greatest actors of all time ! My girlfriend at the time could not take her eyes off Mel Gibson in this film and I was totally ignored. Fortunately, his looks faded quite quickly and he became a bit strange. But he gives quite as good portrayal of a very weak Fletcher Christian.I think everybody should own this film as a passably true version of the Bounty legend. Nor do you have to do without visual splendour and they did build their own version of the ship. Indeed, there is hardly an Anthony Hopkins film that is not worth having. It is sadly true that the true version of events is nothing like as dramatic, romantic or cinematic as the Hollywood version but worth having all the same.

One problem! In 1787 English was little know except among the aristocracy!

Excellent true story of events on the ship

It's a well made movie but relates the story in a less serious fashion to the portrayal given by Howard and Brando.It's not unusual to find remakes of classics to fall short of the mark. In the original the acting displayed by Brando and Howard is fantastic and at a level not attainable by Mel Gibson.

I am happy with this DVD - it arrived very quickly and on the day stated on the order confirmation. This film is one of my favourites of all time. I have an old video tape copy but wanted a DVD to watch it again. Great cast and historically very accurate. Also music by Vangelis who died recently.

Para ser una edición especial en Blu-ray deberían ampliar la cantidad de idiomas por lo menos en los subtítulos.

Speelt niet op Europese blu-ray spelersEn dit staat nergens vermeld

Kanonfilm. Ett plus att den även va engelsk text vilket inte va infon på bluray.comBra ljud och bild på denna vackra mediabook.

Twilight Time nailed this blu ray release, and it was high time this superb film finally did get its due. Two separate commentary tracks, both of which are equally insightful, Vangelis' exquisite ethereal score is given an isolated track (in 5.1), and the picture resolution is about as close as you can get to 4K w/o actually being 4K. This film fires on all cylinders, breathtaking cinematography w/o the use of CGI, costume design, a cast to dream of, including a very young Daniel Day Lewis and Liam Neeson, and of course, Anthony Hopkins. This film couldn't have been made at the current asking prices these actors are getting today (Lewis has since retired). Then there's also Academy Award winning screenwriter, Robert Bolt (of Lawrence of Arabia fame). One of Hopkins' best performances.

Il Bounty e' stato girato tre volte da tre registi e attori diversi - nel tempo. Anthony Hopkins e' un attore con alle spalle anni e anni di teatro - e si vede - e' un ''animale da palcoscenico'' di grande spessore. e' AMATO DA TUTTI/REGISTI /ATTORI/PUBBLICO/CRITICA. gli attori lavorando con lui IMPARANO..E un GRANDE e chi ama il buon cinema cerca di avere dvd dai suoi esordi nel cinema ad oggi. Tra l'altro ''il Baunty'' e' per tutti
