Expectation: The Pirates Conspira-sea

Hollywood has a knack for painting pirates in the rosiest hues.

But let’s face it, that’s movie magic at its finest.

In reality, pirates were less Shakespearean drama, more ruthless sea bandits. Do movie writers intentionally blur the lines between fact and fiction? Who knows! All we’re left with is a longing for the high seas and a craving for a slice of pirate life—sans the pillaging, destruction and eye patches, of course.
