Still, the article does not point out how STRANGE it was that Brando divorced one "Bounty native girl" and married another "Bounty Native" - how obsessed he must have been with the myth of Polynesia

I dedicated a whole chapter in TIKI POP to how Brando EMBODIED the mid-century American Polynesiac in doing that and, as one of the few who could afford to, bought himself and his new wife a Tahitian island!

Only to, in a supreme irony, see his earthly Eden fall under the curse of Pitcairn as his children self-destructed themselves…

Brando WAS Fletcher Christian, trying to grasp paradise but unable to shed his human faults.
