1.0 out of 5 stars
Just not my cup of tea,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mutiny (C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower--The Adventure Continues) (VHS Tape)
I think many people will love this. It shows men exploring a frontier. Those who love period pieces will love seeing men in the hats and clothes that Napoleon used to wear. This flick could have a very receptive audience.
Still, this film was about a European crew travelling to the West Indies in the early 1800s. When I think of all the indigenous people who died and my ancestors, Africans, who were enslaved, I can't get excited about the "adventurers" who played a role in causing these two tragedies. There is a universal theme in this work, knickers aside. This work deals with being forced to obey a superior who is wrong, and potentially insane. My sense of fairness was horribly grated in watching the captain of this ship. Sometimes a villain is not one you "love to hate;" it's just one who gets on yo' nerves bad. Again, I didn't enjoy this film, but I am sure that many others would. |
