No
Polanskis “Pirates” and a bunch of treasure island adaptations
Wait hold on they’re not historical films nevermind
that's the thing
of all the tv shows and films done on pirates, the vast majority of them are fantasy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pirate_films_and_television_series
I just want a biopic of blackbeard's life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbeard
yes there are many pirate movies you underage homosexual
im writing a screenplay that is blood meridian with a pirate crew, so hopefully 10 years from now when it gets made youll have pirate kino
Black Sails is the only one I can think of.
fiction or nonfiction?
Black Sails is fiction most of the time but there are non-fictional characters and events similar to the real events.
I don't think that's what you're looking for though.
Black sails is moronic
Yes, but it's fun.
Our Flag Means Death is based on real pirates but it's a comedy-romance so it's nonfiction
What's the genre, 'Historical fiction'? It's all based on real events but fictional characters and so on.
Uh not events as such, but insofar as there were pirates in the pacific that the British Empire fought against **
It's a mixture of history and treasure island but gets increasingly non-historical after season 1.
If you want modern pirate stuff it's pretty hard to beat.
Black Sails that is.
A real Blackbeard movie would take place in North Carolina. Many people associated piracy with the Caribbean but most of it took place where the trade winds hit north America and hook back to Europe, which is right off the coast of North Carolina.
Not a film, but if you count tv shows, Our Flag Means Death
there was this old Italian TV show about some Indian prince who loses his throne to the bri*sh he becomes a pirate
I can't remember it's name but it's basically treasure Island and a mix of 20 thousand leagues understand the sea
that sounds like a great premise
It was probably "Sandokan", a Sinbad knockoff.
I can't imagine it's any good, it's old as shit.
The character was invented by the Italian nineteenth century equivalent of JK Rowling, who killed himself in poverty after his son's death.
Boomers were raised on those books and loved the show.
Complete fiction.
>about some Indian prince who loses his throne to the bri*sh he becomes a pirate
Background premise of Captain Nemo.
Sandokan?
there's that 1984 movie with anthony hopkins, forget the name. been sitting on my harddrive for years unwatched
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086993/
this one?
it's a semi pirate film
In the 40's and 50's, I think there were a bunch of pirate movies, not sure if there were any good ones
Errol Flynn made some great ones.
Cutthroat island is campy pirate kino
Stay away from "cutthroat island". It's the worst. Master commander is good navy movie but not a pirate piece.
>cutthroat island
this was a spectacularly expensive bomb and ruined some careers I think
Yeah Geena Davis basically went from A-list to never acting again cause of that colossal train wreck
IH did boatkino https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrGf4nJWVOU
>its a berber raid on iceland episode
one piece
Soviet Treasure Island
what is the treasure? a sausage and a bottle of vodka?
What was that book that had blackbeard do magic while searching for the fountain of youth? That could be cool movie.
for me it's 50's swashbuckler movies
That's from 1935 anon.
"Pirates"
disable safe search though
>POTC
Unfortunately that's been one of the more accurate series. At least the first one.
Some people like Black Sails... But it's very very heterosexual. So if you like naked women, that's for you.
It needed to be more gay out the butt for it to have been accurate for the golden age of piracy.
What was the name of the Chinese "pirate queen" who boasted the largest pirate navy the world had ever seen, but got absolutely blown the frick out?
How hasn't she had an adaptation yet, seems perfect for a Netflix adaptation. Just, you know, cut out the losing embarrassingly part.
Outright identifying Captain Charles Johnson as Defoe? A bold move by the publishers, although Defoe IS the most likely author.
But yeah, this book is pretty much our primary source on most of what we know about pirates. It was written towards the end of the golden age of Carribean Piracy, by someone who clearly knew nautical terms and skills, in an era where you wouldn't know the terminology unless you had studied it.
Blackbeard: Terror at Sea
cast him
Tom Hardy
The Black Pirate from 1926
Black Sails is the shit, one of my favourite TV shows of all time.
Read the original Treasure Island. It's quick and exciting and no page is waste it. Will take you a week at most to read.
>be pirate
>YARRRRRRR ME TEETH ARE FALLING OUT
fricks sake just eat a fricking lemon
I'd say it realistically would be more to do with them getting punched in the face and thrown around the deck of a ship than diet. It's not like they can head straight to a dentist after plundering a ship, there's usually a good few weeks before they get back to port.
anon I think you hit something special here. There isn't a single well done pirate movie.
Historical? No, but Curse of the Black Pearl is perfect.
>Because, in the case of pirates, say, I should like to know whether that profession of theirs has any peculiar glory about it. It sometimes ends in uncommon elevation, indeed; but only at the gallows. And besides, when a man is elevated in that odd fashion, he has no proper foundation for his superior altitude. Hence, I conclude, that in boasting himself to be high lifted above a whaleman, in that assertion the pirate has no solid basis to stand on.
