It's not a surprise Hopkins or Mel keep a distance from it; even Vangelis REFUSED to release the OST to the market for his being "non commercial"/ schtick that drove his dance with the record industry the whole run. Begging for the soundtrack to be re released now seems redundant; but someone may choose to do it. I'd buy it, but not for silly-money. Vangelis was really the greatest part in the film, as well as the cinematographer/ & Director Roger/ and the ocean/ skys. Other directors had problems really acknowledging the achievements of Vangelis; the Academy did... almost refusing Chariots; Preferring proper scoring etc. Hopkin's role was probably a harder ask than Mel's, add to that what was demanded of them. Hopkins was probably looking at the prior performances on tape already. Someone can dive for the interviews... or maybe scour this one again.
@globehb76454 ай бұрын
The best and more realistic of The Bounty movies. Fletcher was no hero and Blight was no villain. Hollywood did a great disservice to history and Captain Blight’s family Gable’s & Brando’s versions. It’s silly to think that the critics were expecting more of the same. It was dismissed and both Gibson and Hopkins have also shown some discontent on their interpretations but I think they are totally wrong. The director was right.

Both events are insane. You must remember that Bligh voyage was in XVIII century, he traveld 3000miles without any modern technologies like GPS. On the other hand we have Apollo 13, obviously it was almost 200 years after Bligh, so astronauts were trapped in Apollo with communication with earth, with navigation tools, but the size of the Apollo voyage is also spectacular. Both events shows primal instinct - fighting for survive. Apollo astronauts and Bligh peoples can gave up - but they fought even if they situation was dramatic
