Tell The Democrat Governors That “Mutiny On The Bounty” Was One Of My All Time Favorite Movies

Tell the Democrat Governors that “Mutiny On The Bounty” was one of my all time favorite movies. A good old fashioned mutiny every now and then is an exciting and invigorating thing to watch, especially when the mutineers need so much from the Captain. Too easy!

The one with Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson in 1984, IMO.

Hopkins played a most convincing Captain Bligh... Absolutely authoritarian, and so what? He's in charge of a ship sailing to the other side of the world and back and now he's dealing with a bunch of young sailors enamored with the local attractions...

And young Mel Gibson as Mr. Christian, going native right from the get-go.

4000 miles, in an open boat, with some fresh water and whatever sea rations were available in those days.

IMHO he is setting them up. If he released everyone and anyone got sick or died it would have been his fault. Now, they are insisting THEY are the ones who will decide. 😂

Don’t forget the 1962 movie with Marlon Brando & Trevor Howard, who played an especially evil Capt. Bligh.

Also featured the sailing ship that survived more than fifty years until some idiot sailed it into a hurricane and it was sunk.

Then there were all those beautiful Tahitian girls.

I’d like to see Henry McMaster get in gear. Even 1st in low range.

Just something positive to open things up again.

The Governors are at his mercy, they are all begging for budget money. When the Great middle America opens up leaving the liberal New England closed, the people will rebel and the governors will panic - it’s all so predictable.

William Bligh was anything but a brutal captain. He was a brilliant navigator — learned his trade under Captain Cook himself.

When you look at the historical record objectively, Bligh was no villain, indeed, quite the contrary. Compared with other captains of his era, he didn’t often resort to harsh punishment. He generally looked after the welfare of his crews.

He managed to sail hundreds of miles in an open boat to reach safety in the Dutch East Indies and lost only one of his loyal crew members. This would be an amazing feat of seamanship in any era.

The worst that can be said about Bligh is that he had, at times, a short fuse and a sharp tongue. He didn’t suffer fools gladly, and that got him into trouble on occasion.

Bligh was a hero, in the real Bounty drama. Fletcher Christian was a misguided fool who went soft over the prospect of an easy life in Polynesia. It didn’t turn out well for him or most of the other mutineers.

Yeah, but they lived an isolated life after that and their descendants are pedophiles.

The Captain of the Bounty was Lieutenant Captain William Bligh(Blythe).

Solitude is not necessarily a bad thing.

...and their descendants are pedophiles.

Your evidence for that is...?

Exactly.

Takes the heat off him.

Either way it's now the Governors show. Open a state and the plague "returns"-see the governor.

Keep the economy in mothball until June and everybody loses their house-see the governor.

All DJT has to do is say that the feds are pulling the national emergency designation, do what your governors think best, and Trump can walk away and get back to destroying the left.

Good old Marlon Brando, he lived the dream and bought himself an island in Tahiti. Married a girl...

‘4000 miles, in an open boat, with some fresh water and whatever sea rations were available in those days.’

and what people forget is that the Navy ship that captured the mutineers in Tahiti foundered off the Great Barrier Reef, and 89 surviving crew and seven of eleven mutineers were crowded into four open boats and made reprised Bligh’s feat...

Were they successful?
