Mutiny on the Bounty and Apocalypse Now
If you've seen the 1962 movie, "Mutiny on the Bounty", also starring Marlon Brando, you may have noticed certain similarities. For example, in "Mutiny", when the Bounty made its way to shore in Tahiti, the scene looks very reminiscent of when Captain Willard's boat, PBR Street Gang, enters Colonel Kurtz's Cambodian camp. In each instance both ship and boat are slowly and quietly surrounded by the native inhabitants in their own canoe-like boats. In both scenes there is an eerie calm, a kind of clash of cultures, if you will, fraught with both fear and a fascination of the "other".
