Sunday Night at The Movies: The Black Pirate (1926)




Hello again, sorry all for the lack of postings as I explained in the last post I'm very short on time right now. One of the films that I wanted to share which was a favourite of mine is called The Black Pirate, starring Douglas Fairbanks (Sr). I discovered this film I believe ten years ago, and have been hooked on Douglas Fairbanks since. I question his leaving of his second wife, as well, as his friendship with Charlie Chaplin who I feel did the wrong by marrying someone 1/3 his age. But as an actor and personality I feel that he was just too damn good.

He was always so athletic, energetic, virtuous, and adventuresome. He was everyman's hero, and him and his second wife Mary Pickford were Hollywood's first "it" couple.

This is another one of a handful of silent colour films. It is a great swashbuckler, I watched it after a horrible event happened in my life (one of many) and it cheered me up and inspired me. It has great music and some great action and shows off why I like Douglas Fairbanks so much. Really great music as well. I highly recommend this film, tipsy or not.

"In 1993, The Black Pirate was included in the annual selection of 25 motion pictures to be added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". [1] [2]"

This film is highly esteemed and it was the third technicolor film. I love this one, I find it inspirational.

Fairbanks biographer Jeffrey Vance maintains that “The Black Pirate was the most carefully prepared and controlled work of Fairbanks’s entire career” and “the most important feature-length silent film designed entirely for color cinematography.”

  13 Fascinating Scientific Facts About Blue Eyes Story by Amanda Gardner  •  2w   Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue. It works a lot like individual  fingerprints , making our eyes two of the most distinctive parts of us. The color of your eyes is really the color of your iris, the ring that surrounds the black pupil in the middle of your eye. Unlike some other  inherited traits  (like the color of your hair), eye color typically doesn’t change naturally throughout your life. Sure, it can appear to vary depending on the external light source, but the pigment shouldn’t fluctuate (if your eyes do seem to change color, see a specialist). But your eyes aren’t just a pretty feature of your face. They can provide surprising insight into your personality, health status and where you came from in the big story of human history. We talked to three expertsdoctors and researchers with a deep und...

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Site Aims and Rules

Raceology . n. " A scientific analysis of racial differences."  William Shockley Hello, and welcome. The purpose of this site is to explore racial science, race realism, race relations, and ethnography. Unfortunately these issues are shunned by both the mainstream media, and academia, and too often when controversial perspectives are presented they are done so from a supremacist, or extremely distorted and not a  race realist  perspective.  This site aims to present a factual, and fair representation of races, and race differences, though obviously based on the idea that not all groups are equal in their abilities, and not all societies are equal in terms of fairness, and liveability, what is said of some races, ethnicities, and societies and countries may be less flattering than what is said of others. I will try to keep everything presented based either on factual well-researched data, unless it is an opinion piece which may be composed more of anecdotal...
