A long, long time ago I watched the movie in the cinema under open night sky with stars above, in a small Adriatic coastal town in Croatia. Warm summer night, excellent movie & soundtrack accompanied by dear persons... a lifetime experience ❤This music brings back memories...😌😃
First of all: I am not a composer. But I like good music, so I post my opinion here: Composing was in that time was different, then it is now. Nowadays we got a lot of "cheap" music to please the publishers an make money. None of this will prevail over time. Instead, all good composers will always be remembered in future times. The generations to come will still be listening to Vangelis and Enricio Moricone and a few others. Just like Beethoven, Mozart and others are still valued today. I'm thankful that I was alive when Morrricione, Vangelis, and a few others released their music for the first time. It was mind blowing,,,, Thank you, Legends!
It's a way under-evaluated.....Mel Gibson, Sir Antony Hopkins, The master Dany Day Lewys, Vangelis..this must be a cult, but not many people discovered this gem. We are the few lucky ones!
@@michaelf3582 Bligh : Well, I shall have to try and navigate from memory, Mr. Fryer. It will take us close to the most savage islands in these waters, the Fiji Islands, where cannibalism is perfected almost to a science, and from there, my friends, God willing, we shall proceed on to the Great Barrier Reef itself, then to New Holland, and from there across the Timor Sea to Kupang. And now it will take us at least two months, and we have provisions and water enough to last us one week. So that is the situation, gentlemen, plain and simple.
I loved the way they humanized Lt. William Bligh, and Anthony Hopkins was absolutely perfect in the role. While Bligh had his unhinged moments, there were also scenes of his kindness. When I saw this movie in the theater I did not know who Anthony Hopkins was (pre-Silence of the Lambs). This was the movie that made me want to know "who is that actor?"!
@@johndeagle4389 they all played fantastic parts for there time, not forgetting mayne lynton as Bligh and Errol Flynn as Christian in the wake of the bounty.
An astonishingly effective and stirring score. A really beautiful work. The drama of that closing scene, titles and MUSIC. Just amazingly haunting and perfectly done throughout.
This Score by Vangelis is his second masterwork, composed around the same time as Blade Runner and has that characteristic hallmark Nemo sound and production value. An accoustically lush and descriptive soundscape that captures the tropical visuals and atmosphere, perfectly. Unsurpassed.
Chariots of Fire is also masterwork as is Opera Sauvage , as is Apocalypse des Animaux. As is Entends tu les Chiens Aboyer. And they are soundtracks, some are documentary soundtracks, some are non-Holywood.
The end credits piece sounds pretty similar to 'Horizon' by Jon & Vangelis too (from the album, "Private Collection"). Recorded just before 'The Bounty'.
I've got a strong emotional attachment to this film and its gorgeous music. I was married and living in the Arctic when I first saw it. Beginning here at 19:35, my wife and I couldn't get enough of that theme. Living so far north, we used to dream of one day visiting Tahiti. It never happened, but I'm still in awe of The Bounty as an exquisite entertainment experience. "Never see England again." What a powerful scene!
When I listen to the original soundtrack of The Bounty you here a much lamer version of this song. This version by Vangelis is so much better. Compare for yourself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uOhhfy7DU20.html . I think Dominik Hauser just rearranged the compositions of Vangelis. I just don't get why though cause Vangelis' compositions are miles better.
I listened to that portion, the end credits, as I took off on an Air New Zealand flight from Los Angeles to Fiji in 2003. Though a seasoned traveler I was a bit anxious as it was 23:30 and I’d never flown over the Pacific before, it was pitch black the whole way across and I knew there was nowhere to land for the next six hours at least. I was a little scared. But listening to this as we left lax, knowing I was heading to the South Pacific for the first time as cook and Bligh did made me feel better, like it was an exciting adventure ❤️
Cette musique est pour beaucoup dans l'attrait que peut avoir ce film sur moi, film que j'ai vu au cinéma en 1984 et que je possède en blu-ray. Mystère, mélancolie, impression de liberté... superbe.
Au revoir Vangelis, Merci de m'avoir laissé ton influence musicale. Je continuerai d'écouter ta musique car elle, elle est éternelle, et de mon côté je vais continuer de composer de la musique avec une touche de ton essence !!! Salut Maestro Vangelis 😢😢
How the fuck did Vangelis come up with the kind of music he came up with, having been born here in Greece, in a totally different music environment, is astonishing even more so than the fact that he was mostly self taught.And if you check just how many iconic,unforgettable tunes he's produced and at what age (he wasnt even 40 when he made Charriots of Fire), and thats not even taking Aphrodite's Child into account.The very definition of a divine gift
This was such a classic great music 🎶 great cast ! Anthony Hopkins really played William so well he really made a good job of it and mel Gibson played fletcher christian well great film great cast and great legend 👏
I have always luved this film without ever giving any thought to what others felt about it. If we are moved by or care about something what does it matter what it matters to anyone else? Will we feel differently by comparing to other’s opinions?
A brilliant score for a true masterpiece of a movie. So many favorite moments, like 10:27... Compare that with all the rubbish that passes as a soundtrack in more modern productions. I know I sound real old but so be it. Sorry for the kids who never had a chance to connect with movies of their time through a quality original score. Many thanks for the upload.
This represents a very high point in Vangelis’s film work. Not that any of his film work was bad, but I think The Bounty stands out above others in the repertoire. There is a wonderful passion in everything he writes, and it is a very stark reminder of what music is about in the first place.
Just think: what a period of movie sountrack for Vangelis... one jewel after another. " Chariots of Fire " (1981), "Blade Runner" (1982), "Antarctica" (1983), "The Bounty" (1984) !
One of my favourite films of all times. Beautifully filmed and directed. Why they never issued the soundtrack is something that I'll NEVER understand. This is perhaps Vangelis' best soundtrack, so intense, so beautifully adapted to the Bounty situations from Bligh's meeting with Christian until the very end credits. Vangelis is a genius!!! Thanks for uploading this soundtrack after 31 years!!
Was 2 years old in 1984 rest in peace Mr Vagelis I love your music it started out in the beginning of my life with blade runner in 1982 and you died this month 40 years after my birth my respects thank you for giving us such beautiful music Memories in this life you were and will always be a musician godsend SIr
Absolutely exquisite music... one of his best. these parts in particular. from 6:03 - 7:35, and 13:21 - 14:27, another15:00 - 15:30, and another 17:56 - 18:40.
The previous Bounty movies were good but I absolutely love how this movie tells this story. The falling out of friendship between Bligh and Christian in this version was heartbreaking. Bligh was not unkind and he was reasonable, he invested his fortune in this expedition and Christian behaved like a spoiled brat on the island but in the end his eyes show he regretted everything and chose "the wrong boat".
Bligh has never really been given his due as the incredible navigator and master mariner that he really was nor has the true story of Bligh and Christian ever been properly told. Bligh saved him from numerous mistakes early in his career including a near mutiny on another ship for which he was almost hanged. William Bligh was a strict captain to be sure but he wasn't the monster that many books and movies make him out to be. Bligh was actually a civilian ship owner and captain who held a commission in the Naval Reserve and and he was forced by the Admiralty into taking HMS Bounty on her ill-starred voyage. Needless to say he was not happy about it.
@@TiredOldDude Yes I think that as well. I read an adapted version of Bligh's own published account of the expedition and I didn't really get the idea that he behaved in an unbecoming manner, especially for what was the norm at the time. In fact it seemed that the crew he was able to afford was not the best material in terms of discipline and commitement for such a long dangerous circumnavigation voyage.
For some unfathomable reason this version of the bombed at the box office excellent acting good script if it had been a box office hit vangelis would have an oscar but millions know it's a perfect beautiful soundtrack an oscar isnt important after all
It's a way under-evaluated.....Mel Gibson, Sir Antony Hopkins, The master Dany Day Lewys, Vangelis..this must be a cult, but not many people discovered this gem. We are the few lucky ones!
Bunu ilk dinlediğimde müthiş bir duyguya kapıldım.derin bir dram içten içe insanı yanlızlaştıran derin bir hisse kapılmamak elde değil...bu müziği doğada ve yanlızken dinleyin...sizi mutlaka etkisine alacağından hiç şüpheniz olmasın...özellikle kuzeyAnadolu alplerindeyseniz....bir anda kendinizi ıssız bir ada dablabilirsiniz...müziğin etkisinden öyle kolay kurtulmasının...
Ici la France 👋salut les adorateurs de vangelis !!!! J'ai découvert ce génie et toute ma vie je l'écoute telle un drogue , ça transperce les sens , ça donne des ailes . Un pacificateur pour l'éternité, j'aime ce grand monsieur.
By far, the greatest movie/Documentary of it’s time! This movie is the closest to being accurate for the events that actually accord ar the time! The main stars fit the plot actually, according to the known facts in this matter! I’ve watched this movie over and over for several years! The Vangelis sounds are out of this world! Once you’ve start to watch this video of the bounty, you are hooked until the end! It’s worse than trying to eat just a few peanuts but, you have to keep munching!
About 20 years ago I became hooked on the Bounty story and did so much research ,, then I found this Gem and quite literally lost my my mind,, I would watch the movie every night and,,, seriously the Movie and soundtrack is one of the best things that ever happened to me,, I would recommend this to anyone.
Actually Blight was on a trial to find out the reason of mutiny.In the view of Admirality that was a real reason for such desperate deed of half of crew.He was cleared but got bad fame and his career was over.The music really correspond to the clime of the situation surrounding the ship'd voyage and boost the emotion very well.
This is the best soundtrack of any film out there u wud like to swing on the ropes of the ship with this music in background it catches the essence of time and ure captivated in the film it has stood the test of time and his music is soul searching His music rides the waves With the sun Glittering in the evenings Hopkins out done Gibson on this one as capt bligh as he barks out to a officer on board I am the first by law god damn ure hide and now u may be dismissed sir u cud hear a pin drop in that scene with vangelis music backing his words wat a peach of a soundtrack
This movie has David Lean’s fingerprints all over it. In fact he was supposed to direct it and it would have been his last film but he ended up directing A Passage To India instead
En mi humilde opinión, el maestro no ha muerto, es verdad que su presencia física ha dejado de acompañarnos , pero el legado compuesto, las emociones entregadas y las vidas que ha tocado son viviente manifestación de una vida que estará presente en nuestros corazones por mucho tiempo , hasta que nosotros también partamos. A este punto es importante ir mostrando este gran legado a nuestros hijos, a nuestros nietos y a todos los amantes de las duces melodías, así nosotros mantendremos viva su memoria por mucho tiempo mas. Vangelis ha sido mi conexión con el infinito y el alma desde que tengo uso de razón, cada nota , cada melodía es un milagroso regalo a la humanidad y viene desde un corazón limpio y desinteresado, solo por el placer de entregar. Viva Vangelis...!
Pour moi Reste l' une des plus belle musique de Cinéma Créer , et joué par Vangélis .Avec 1492 Christophe Colomb . Vangélis , mon musicien , mon maitre depuis 40 ans . Fabuleux .
Music was excellent in this movie, beautifully done. I listen often to the music from "The Bounty". I also like looking at Mel Gibson then, so gorgeous, just had to say that,lol.
was searching for this from 1987,tnk god and tnk u the uploader,this music has stayed in my heart all the way for all these years....its haunting chilling and intense......
