The Bounty - 1984
Such an amazing story. I knew it was a famous story about a mutiny. I didn't know the ****ing descendants of the mutineers are alive today on Pitcairn Island, or that the dudes they kicked off the boat ate one bite of bread a day for weeks until they reached civilization almost dead.
Command performances by Sir Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson and native tits.
The Butler - 2015
Interesting "true" story about a black butler in the white house, who used to pick cotton in the 1920s and saw his daddy shot dead by slavers in the fields.
A lot of it was made up garbage, but it was interesting seeing the different perspectives on race wars between older generations of blacks and newer ones.
Also everyone who played a President was fun to watch. Alan Rickman as Reagan was cast against type and wonderful to watch.
