Pirate Costumes For Children and Adults
Long John Silver, Captain Hook, Black Sam, Black Bart and Jack Sparrow. The adventure and romance of pirates appeals to nearly everyone. The sad truth is that many pirates ate poorly, and often lived on bananas and limes. Very few actually became fabulously wealthy and many of them died at a young age.
Since the early days of film when there were such classics as 'Captain Blood ' in 1935 and 'The Sea Hawk ' in 1940 there have been very few films about pirates that are worth any real mention. Only a few examples come to mind such as Roman Polanski's 'Pirates' in 1986 and 'The Goonies' which made good use of a pirate-based storyline. Another movie that should also be mentioned, albeit for different reasons is 1995's 'Cutthroat Island'. This calamity of a movie ended up costing an unbelievable $100 million dollars at the time. The film went on to recover a mere $11 million dollars. The Guinness Book of World Records describes it as 'the largest box office loss' whilst The Washington Post said that 'Cutthroat Island's' lame cliff-hangers are enough to make you a cliff jumper'.
Clothing certainly won't be a problem. Pirates wore quite a variety of garments and with a little imagination and minimal outlay you can soon look like a true blue-blooded buccaneer! Think of simple articles like eye patches, bandanas and wide leather belts. A stripey black and white top wouldn't be out of place; maybe it could be worn with some old black jeans.
As a buccaneer a lady can become decidedly wicked and adventurous with her costume! There are a lot of pirate design costumes that are saucy and exciting. Some costumes may even include telescope, eye-patch and dagger! If you are feeling daring then you could opt for dressing as a sexy pirate wench complete with a lace up front halter dress, fishnet stockings and a sash round your middle.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films have each been received very positively by both adults and children alike. They are the equivalent of the hugely successful 'Indiana Jones' series with Harrison Ford. They are good family movies, something that is becoming harder to come across these days
Today 'Pirates of the Caribbean' has become one of the largest movie franchises of all time. There have been numerous video games based on the films (including an online game that was released by Disney themselves), a special 'Pirates of the Caribbean' edition of Monopoly and even a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' version of the Battleships game is available.
In interviews, after the release of the first film in the series, 'The Curse of the Black Pearl', Johnny Depp confessed that he had partly modeled his character on aging rocker Keith Richards. Richards made a cameo appearance in the third film of the series, 'At World's End', as Captain Teague who is actually Captain Jack Sparrow's father. He was supposed to have made an appearance in 'The Curse of the Black Pearl' but the writers couldn't manage to fit him into the story.
There are all sorts of possibilities for a really good party. Let your imagination go wild. Whether you are dressing in pirate garb for a fancy dress costume party or you are planning a themed evening with friends you can be sure that it will great fun! - 23815
