* NightmareFuel: Vangelis's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLgUOiZUbTk opening theme]], which, taken out of context, could very well be the most beautiful slasher theme ever composed.

That sounds more like a case of Deliberate Values Dissonance.


* ValuesDissonance: Bligh's discipline can seem very harsh to modern eyes, but he was fairly lenient by the standards of the time. Indeed, Bligh's biggest problem was that he was ''too nice a guy'' to be the captain of a ship in those days. He let discipline go to hell during the months on Tahiti, and when he finally did try to crack down, it was too little, too late.

* HarsherInHindsight: A meta example - during production, Creator/AnthonyHopkins, himself a reformed alcoholic, expressed worry about Creator/MelGibson's heavy drinking, stating that he was "in danger of blowing it unless he [took] hold of himself." Considering how Gibson's life later deteriorated, culminating in his infamous anti-Semitic tirade and arrest for DomesticAbuse, it would seem Hopkins' warnings went unheeded.

Added DiffLines:

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Unlike previous films that potrayed Bligh as a cruel, sadistic monster, this film more accurately shows him to be an overbearing man with an unlikable personality who simply does things by the book. In spite of this and the fact that Bligh was legally in the right, audience sympathies are often on the side of Fletcher Christian and his fellow mutineers.
