thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The bounty 1984.jpg

message: Regarding whether the mutiny was sparked by Bligh wanting to go past Cape Horn. 
From his own writings: "It was proposed that our route to the Society Islands should be round Cape Horn;" So the route was supposed to be from UK past Cape Horn to Tahiti. So going West all the way.
This makes perfectly sense, and will not impact any breadfruits as these would not be onboard at the time of passage.
However, the problem was that due to the seasonal weather it was impossible for Bligh to actually pass the Horn. And his repeated attempts certainly caused anguish amongst his crew, thereby fuelling what was later to become the mutiny. 
Through it would be fair to say that the attempts to pass the Horn did not directly cause the mutiny - I believe it is incorrect to state that it was a historical error that they did not have an effect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.59.206.86 (talk) 14:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article's plot summary violates WP:FILMPLOT in a number of ways: first, it is entirely too long, at more than 1,000 words, when the policy calls for a 400-700 word summary; second, it is filled with opinion and analysis of the events and motives of the characters, as well as comparison to other film versions; third, there are repeated references to the film-as-film, when it should be a straight, succinct, recitation of the events.  Put simply, it is a mess and needs to be completely rewritten. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 02:09, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
