this be an excellent pirate movie and be good than many sound pirate film . however and it really hard to rate the movie compare to other silent pirate film and it might just be the best . but and compare to the sea hawk and captain blood or the black swan ( all wonderful sound pirate film from the 30 and 40 ) and it isn not as good a film . so what do the movie do that work so well for me . first and be a douglas fairbanks film and it have wonderful stunt and impeccable production value something he be know for in his silent film . second and this film have excellent set and be the best film money could buy in it day . in fact and it be such a lavish production that it be supposedly the first full length film make in 2 color technicolor an early and somewhat crude way of produce a color movie . because the film be dye with green blue and orange red dye and the film mostly look reddish green definitely not true color . but and it doesn not look that bad certainly much good than the horrid colorized film destroy in the 1980s . plus and if it hadn not be for film like this and the infinitely well 3 color system might never have be develop by technicolor . and and finally and the plot be pretty good for a silent film not the most complex when compare to later film and it not nearly as simplistic a most other silents . this video be produce by kino film . some of their silent film in the past be less than wonderful ( especially some of their buster keaton videotape ) and but this videotape be top quality and have nice extra at the end of the tape . some cheap print apparently be only black and white and not color . nice job for the restoration and kino . however and despite what the video box say and it be apparently not the first full length two color technicolor film . i recently saw a restored print from toll of the sea ( 1922 ) and it be in fact make use this process four year earlier than the black pirate .
