Was für ein großartiger Film! Laughton macht seine Sache als getriebener Tyrann großartig & am Ende blitzt ganz kurz durch, dass Bligh vielschichtiger aber auch empfindlicher ist als alle denken (was Historiker freuen wird).

Versöhnlich ist das Happy End für Byam & die Betonung der positiven Folgen, die diese Meuterei für die #RoyalNavy hatte. #MeerfilmMittwoch

The boys want toys. But the toys should be sold or scrapped.

These attack subs exist only to defend the Trident nuclear missile subs, which can blow up the world. That's not defence. It's a suicide pact.

The Empire is over. When will the UK get an adult govt to stop this folly?
