One of the most underrated movies of the 80's. Just look at the sheer talent in this movie. It's a virtual who's who of great actors. And the soundtrack by Vangelis is utterly amazing in building tension throughout the film. This is amongst my all time favorite films.
Ya he was a great actor long before silence of the lambs and this scene proves it I honestly think he’s the greatest living British actor and one of if not, the greatest living actor period
He's awful in comparison to Laughton and Trevor Howard - watch the 1936 and 1962 versions. He plays Bligh with the exact same voice and mannerisms as he played Hitler, which is not the wise route to go or prudent choice. He simply recycled his performance from The Bunker.
@@HolgerRuneFan He’s not awful at all.... His is a different interpretation and why wouldn’t Hopkins mannerisms be similar to another of his characters.... it’s the same actor!
My favorite moment of his in the Bounty was the first on deck scene when he's dressed as a freaking straight up cliched Pilgrim; even has that stupid top hat on lmao.
+seewaage He also has the English dialect that Bligh had, as he was from the southwestern part of England (believed to have been born in Plymouth). If he sort of sounds like a so-called "Pirate"... it's probably because some of England's best sailors (some of which became privateers and then pirates) came from that part of England.
This is one of my favourite scenes in The Bounty. Anthony Hopkins was awesome here. I love Bligh's line "Your years at sea? Good Lord man, if I'd known your nature I would not have accepted you as boatswain of a river barge!" 😆
I saw this scene before I watched the film. I didn't realise that what Bligh objected to about Fryer's 'nature' was that he had been proven right that going round Cape Horn was the wrong route and Bligh couldn't accept it! Although in reality Bligh demoted Fryer a month before they approached Cape Horn.
It was a calculated attack on the first officer. The men turned their anger at the struggle of the previous month away from the Captain and towards Mr. Fryer.
A thespian genius at work. After raging like a demon at Friar, he turns to the rest of the ship's company and fixes them with that icy stare to assert his complete authority. The next time he speaks, it is chillingly calm and composed, leaving them all on very thin ice.
yes but Bligh , as portrayed by Hopkins, seems to be mentally unstable and very insecure. He was obsessed with circumnavigating the globe to satisfy his ego and ambition oblivious or not caring for the tremendous risk for his ship and danger to his crew.
@@DonQwantsyou In reality he was instructed by the navy to circumnavigate the globe on his voyage, he tried it then decided to give up. It wasn't like in the movie where they made out he was trying to fulfil his own ambitions by doing so, in reality he didn't hold the idea all that high.
Maybe the best "shouting scenes" ever, the way Hopkins goes from calm to stern to apeshit is amazing. Liam Neeson must have been going, "DAAAAMN! THIS is acting!".
The casting alone is worth the price of admission. Mel Gibson... Anthony Hopkins... Edward Fox... Daniel Day-Lewis... Liam Neeson... and Sir Laurence Olivier!! Bravo!!
Anthony Hopkins Daniel day Lewis and Laurence Olivier are all in this the fact this movie literally has 3 generations of the greatest British film actors that’s ever graced the screen is absolutely mind blowing!
The scene has always stuck in my mind for the greatness of Anthony Hopkins and the up and coming Daniel Day Lewis. How Hopkins turns that anger on in an instant is remarkable!
It's nuanced. He was a brilliant sailor, but probably too much of a bully and martinet to win and keep his men's hearts over such a long haul voyage. A great leader can do that. That said, the British Navy was brutal affair and a sailor's lot was miserable. Most probably felt they had little to lose.
@@philipford6183 true, but there were at least a couple of people from the Bounty that could've done it. Some escaped Australian convict boat also did it from about the same distance and Bligh's character was a bit more despicable on the boat than shown. Like he would hide food, and when they made it to the reef of Australia he wanted to fight one of the dudes who caught his own birds for his food saying it was everyone's, instead of finding his own
The crucial difference between the portrayal of Bligh by Hopkins and the portrayal by Howard, was that Howard played Bligh as a petty martinet with middle-class pretensions; Hopkins played him as common man struggling to rise above his 'station'. Hopkins' affectation of a West-Country accent is particularly powerful because it infuses his character with a considerable sense of social anxiety, especially in relation to Christian. I suspect that Bligh was actually somewhere between Howard and Hopkins regarding his social consciousness; but it's particularly important to understanding the character because it's a viable alternate explanation for the collapse of discipline aboard the Bounty. Navy discipline, even at its most lenient, was brutal beyond the comprehension of the modern civilian mind. That the Howard/Brando film chose to present the cause of the mutiny on the most simplistic and sensationalist terms does a disservice to a man who was, despite his failings, undoubtedly one of the finest navigators this Island has produced - albeit possibly not one of its most able leaders.
I always assumed Hopkins adopted that accent because it was more period-accurate - I never saw it as a reflection of class. This was before Received Pronunciation, after all, and the posh Queens English we know today didn't yet exist.
I'm under zero illusions that Anthony Hopkins'portrayal of Captain Bligh is his finest hour of acting in his long and distinguished career. An absolute masterpiece of utter brilliance., which blows Silence of the Lambs into obscurity.
I just love this movie and this sceene in preticular. So well written and genious acting! You can feel the tension/fear in room after the shakedown of the first officer... (for years i used to think ti myself after a preticulary long and hard workday :" AND NOW YOU MAY DISSMISS , SIR!!" and then light my smoke)
Tremendous scene by two giants of cinema. This movie did not get the credits it deserved. I would put it on a par with Master and Commander, in my humble opinion.
I’m not sure you all get what I’m saying. DDL is the great actor that’s won three . But in my opinion Hopkins is the better actor. To be honest I and other fellow film buffs have the opinion that DDL performance in this particular movie is quite weak for his standards . He probably didn’t like working with such a notorious scene stealer.
That might have been because he either didn't trust his fate on board bounty with the mutineers of he didn't want to get tarred with the same brush as them....and although going in an open boat could have been suicide he rightly chose the option that afforded the least risk....
Fryer was a professional naval officer, Christian was a gifted amateur. Although his relationship with Bligh deteriorated during the voyage, someone like Fryer would never entertain taking part in a mutiny
Yeah, he didn't want to be hunted like the others, and at first they thought they'd get provisions at Tofua. However, Bligh had pissed off the natives by kidnapping their king who was visiting Tahiti earlier (because the Tahitians refused to give some instruments they stole). So when they realized Bligh was alone on a boat they pounced. Then when the Pandora, which hunted the mutineers, landed there, they pretended to have never seen them, even though there were traces or other islanders told on them I forget (maybe they attacked the Cpt's crew). They even figured out who were the dudes that killed one of Bligh's crew but the natives pretended they condemned the action. Later on killed a French ship's crew that was also stranded
In this version, don't know how accurate, but Bligh was actually a very nice guy for a Captain back in those days. Lmfao you cant talk to the captain like that. Christian late for dinner and disobeying direct orders, even verbally. Bligh was over zealous and perhaps wreckless, but a "gentleman" back in those days, often did not contemplate or consider peril when it came to monumental type things. To plan and consider, just because of mortality, was considered ungentlemanly. But heres the thing, Bligh in this movie, appeared over zealous about being a captain, rather than just being the captain, but when the chips were down, he was a gentleman and honorable to which there can be no doubt. So, his big head, really could back up the talk and the walk. Excellent character and great acting. Well done Hopkins.
It's such a good film - with a truly epic cast. Hopkins absolutely steals the show with his (for me) career-best performance as Bligh, but frankly, they're all good and working with a great script, too. Fantastic locations and photography seal the deal. When will this forgotten classic get a proper remastered BluRay release (full cinema ratio, please) in the UK complete with Director's commentary?
In real history Bligh was a brilliant Captain and kept all alive during what is to this day the longest open boat voyage.. On the Island of Pitcairn many of the men killed and no one is sure what happened to Fletcher Christian.
one guy died when they made it to Batavia. Another on the way back because Bligh didn't want to give him his spot on a Dutch ship so he had to wait with malaria, and dropped. brilliant seamanship, totally. His maps of the South Seas have not been needed to be updated till today
Most sailors at that time in England started at 15 years old like Bligh and Fryer. Fletcher Christian had very little, experience, and started at 22, but Bligh took him on because they were friends.
"Your years at sea? Good Lord, man, if I'd known your nature I would not have accepted you as bos'n of a river barge!" I'd say that does not translate to a 4.0 eval.
"We'll SAIL! Round the Cape of Good Hope! In this leaky two man VESSEL!! All eight of us. Mile after mile with me adding unnecessary EMPHASIS to random words for every hour of that endless journey. Mr Friar SAR COME BACK HAR. MR FRIAR SAR GET BACK IN THE BOAT..."
+Kevtb87 Also Bernard Hill (Mr. Cole) who was Captain E.G. Smith in "Titanic", Liam Neeson who played Able Seaman Churchill, and Dexter Fletcher who played Sgt. Martin in Band of Brothers about 17 years later when he was an adult.
Also the great Laurence Olivier. AND fun fact - this was to be that british pretty boy Hugh Grants first film however he had to bow out at last moment. Shame because it's such a who's who of young British actors.

Totally agree.
I wasn't going to watch it bc I already know the history and what happens in the end, but now I'm going to watch just for the acting.
Fortunately, I had not yet taken my stomach cleanse.
Only Anthony could shut Daniel Day down like that
SUCH A POWERFUL DOMINANT ORDER😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anthony Hopkins even changes his face colour in this scene. Superb!
The best ever portrayal of Bligh - fantastic acting by Hopkins.
And extraordinary how like Bligh he looked
@trha2222 Imagine him being captain kirk instead of Shatner lol
gonna tell me you didnt like Charles Laughton? (1935 Mutiny on the Bounty)

Terrific acting in this whole movie from everyone especially Dr. Hugan.
My favorite moment of his in the Bounty was the first on deck scene when he's dressed as a freaking straight up cliched Pilgrim; even has that stupid top hat on lmao.
LOL.........Correct!! :D
Mr Fryer and his collection of hats should have had their own spin off...
Anthony Hopkins is such an amazing actor. He actually has the red face and everything just like a man would get in that situation.

He actually changes colour. That's 2,000 years of stored up Welsh/Cornish anger.
For real he got red lol

Man, that is flawless by Hopkins. His sense of authority and steadfast control… Hopkins is majestic.

Miraculous how Friar was still loyal to the Captain during the mutiny even though he replaced him from command.
That might have been because he either didn't trust his fate on board bounty with the mutineers of he didn't want to get tarred with the same brush as them....and although going in an open boat could have been suicide he rightly chose the option that afforded the least risk....
And also he went with the Captain Crazy because he was a truly professional sailor and a captain too.
Fryer was a professional naval officer, Christian was a gifted amateur. Although his relationship with Bligh deteriorated during the voyage, someone like Fryer would never entertain taking part in a mutiny
Yeah, he didn't want to be hunted like the others, and at first they thought they'd get provisions at Tofua. However, Bligh had pissed off the natives by kidnapping their king who was visiting Tahiti earlier (because the Tahitians refused to give some instruments they stole).
