I saw this film by accident one Christmas Day, whilst vegging it on the couch! Ever since then, this has been one of my all time favourite films. Who cares about the historical truths or otherwise! Anthony Hopkins was fantastic as Bligh, Mel Gibson a very believable Christian, and the supporting cast magnificent. Th locations were perfect, the photography stunning and the music by Vangelis, wow, so in tune with the moods of the film.
I,ve watched this film about 5 times now, and could easily see it another 50!
