Strange Morals The main question of the "hero's" morals starts in the beginning of the film. The main Russian who starts the mutiny, Vakulinchuk, is about to get shot in a firing squad for disobeying the captain. Then he says "Brothers! Who are you firing on?" as in, the Russian would kill another Russian. The firing squad disobey the captains firing orders and even stands in front of the firing squad while yelling "Fire!" (Genius, am I right?).
Then Vakulinchuk gets the sailors to attack their "brothers" then proceeds to yell from on top of a turret, "Kill the monsters! Kill them!""Kill them all!"
Maybe it's my western way of thinking, but he seems very hypocritical in his ways as he is killing his "brothers".
Anyways, if you think about his reasoning, he is the stupid mutinist.
