The Success of the Pirates of the Caribbean in Appealing to a Wide Audience

The tone is set quickly and effectively. With the book and the movie you “are not being invited into fictional believe and deaths, into the imagination, but into the absorbing reality of flesh and blood”. (McCabe 561).

Their contemporaries described them as “Robbers, Opposers, and Violators of all Laws, Humane and Divine.” Many viewed themselves as a more selfish reincarnation of Robin Hood, stealing from wealthy merchants, foreign traders, and abusive captains, and in doing so, threatening the hierarchical status quo of seventeenth and eighteenth English society by declaring “war against the world.” The Law considered them hostes humani generis, enemies of all mankind. In reality, Anglo-American pirates were none of those things, or perhaps more accurately, were not one but a combination. They were all robbers, since piracy in its most elementary definition is nothing more than a robbery at sea, something the English Admiralty recognized from its establishment in the fourteenth century. There was certainly also some relevance for their self-perceptive image of stealing from the rich and giving to themselves in order to escape the unjustness of a hierarchical society.

History generally depicts piracy as a radical system of violent practices and unconventional beliefs. This version of piracy is certainly more thrilling and romantic, and is arguably more entertaining, than the reality. Unbeknownst to most people, pirate society was a very well thought out system with strict rules, a judiciary body, and even social security benefits. In his book, Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates In the Golden Age, author Marcus Rediker attempts to convey these truths and disprove the many common misconceptions surrounding piracy. He outlines the structure of pirate society as an egalitarian invention used to combat the unfair wages, mistreatment of workers, and poor labor conditions present aboard merchant vessels. In fact, pirate culture exemplifies the very beginnings of modern-day capitalism. Take, for example, the very promotion of freedom of the seas against the state monopolies that claimed ownership rights on sea routes. This capitalistic behavior would unknowingly contribute to today’s standards of a capitalistic society.

A Clockwork Orange is a film that will always be talked about as long as other films are being made and produced. The reason this film is so popular is because it was one of the most exalted and problematic motion pictures of all time. It was liked by many people because of film work and intelligence that went on in the film. People also despised the film because of violence, murder, and rape. One person in particular that did not enjoy the film was Ben Russell, a filmmaker who wrote a review about this movie.

Diversity in films is important because representation matters. Viewers are drawn to shows with ethnically diverse lead cast members. Mostly all viewers love to watch shows that reflect and relate to their own experiences. Reddigari, a freelance writer, also expresses the question of why we lack diversity in films. “Hollywood has been producing inspiring films intended to capture the beauty, joy and sorrow in everyday life. As much as we love our favorite movies, we can’t help but notice that many of them fail to capture the life experiences of all moviegoers, leaving the voices of millions of Americans from diverse backgrounds underrepresented” (This Tumblr Shows the Startling Lack of Diversity in Film). Diversity in films is an important topic in society because it represents equality and people of color to look up to.

For the most part, the novel was very enjoyable. One aspect of it that I loved was that the storyline was extremely intense, which always compelled me to find out what would happen next. For example,

Even though these two important parts of the book were left out I think the movie was good and it definitely gave me the deep feeling and connection to the characters that the book gave me. I think the whole movie staff made all the right

There are many ways to tell a story. In both Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried’ and Tim Burton’s adaptation of Big Fish, the connection between the two is storytelling and sharing experiences with others. Tim O'Brien and Edward Bloom, told stories with overdramatize details and extended truths. The stories that are told All of the stories that were told made the reader and listener question what was the story truth and what was the happening truth.Both characters narrate the events they experience to others, making there be a blurred line between truth and fiction. Bloom's son Will goes along to say, "Everything my father tells is a complete fabrication." Edward, himself finds it hard, to distinguish between reality and fiction. Both

1700 marks the “Golden Age” of piracy, where the seas and oceans were filled with many of the world’s famous pirates like “Calico Jack”, Edward Low and the notorious Blackbeard (“The Golden”). Although they sound a lot like legends, there is no doubt that pirates have became a part of today’ s media and a famous subculture in style and stories (“Pirates in”). Blackbeard’s story has been influential in the pirate subculture and has been referenced in different kinds of stories, movies and cartoons like Pirates of the Caribbean and One Piece. Blackbeard’s life and legacy is still a heavy influence on pirate subculture today.

Past all of that, what makes the movie spectacular are the people, relationships, and the messages sent. The

The beginning part of the book was probably my most favorite part. I think this is because the unknown and bizarre behavior and the unknown kept me on edge. I also think her words and feelings in this part was expressed

For years The Princess Bride has been regarded as one of the finer pieces of 80s cinema and has been drawn to the eyes of the pop culturists within most. The film begins with a scene relatable even now, almost 20 years later. A young boy is at home, sick, when his grandfather (played by Peter Falk) arrives unexpectedly to read him a story and lift his spirits. The young boy (played by Fred Savage) is, at first, unimpressed by the written media, that is, until he is swallowed whole and engrossed in the story his grandfather has chosen; The Princess Bride.

Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film of Pirates. The whole movie was about Pirates, their lifestyle such as stealing a boat from other people which were shown in the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole a boat from the British people. Other fascinating facts which I found about pirates were shown in the movie when they showed a couple of punishments for pirates who committed crimes and of course the myth of mermaids which for me was inaccurate. This movie was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski.

I would like to conclude by saying that this novel The Lord of the Rings has inspired many spin off works, including several games as well.The enormous popularity of Tolkien’s epic saga has greatly expanded the demand for fantay novels, largely thanks to the Lord of the Rings. It is an an extraordinary work, grandly conceived, brilliantly executed and wildly entertaining novel of Tolkien .In the whole novel we see that it 's a hobbit 's dream, a wizard 's delight. And, of course, it 's only the beginning.The language used in this novel is very simple and easy to understand by people. In short this novel has won the hearts of many .This novel is a must read. I see this novel as a near perfect: It 's one of the best fantasy novel ever written. The story just revolves around the Ring which is created by a Dark lord, Sauron.It has brought the supernaturalism in such a way that we could clearly make out where is the supernaturalism used.

An active audience is the opposite. An active audience can interact with the programme and tell them their views, and what they would like to see. They can influence the outcome of the whole show.
