At that time, the great voyage was the most glorious era, and countless businessmen took risks and drifted at sea, earning several times of profits by transporting goods. Where there is light, there will be darkness, so the pirate door swarmed and began to plunder. Unlike the pirates described in the movie, they are fighting for freedom. They only worship money and like to indulge.
Piracy is often not a folk behavior, but also an official behavior. At the same time, Spain and Britain issued private plunder licenses to encourage their own people to plunder at sea. However, part of the proceeds of this plunder will be owned by the state. In a country dominated by robbers, there are bound to be robbers competing for money. Therefore, many pirates who are not allowed by the government have become the targets of official attacks.
This group of pirates have no unified norms and have a wide range of attacks. They often attack the coastal cities of various countries, and when attacked by the army, they will retreat to the far sea, which greatly increases the difficulty of combating pirates. Therefore, many cities will offer a reward for capture, and once pirates are found to land, they will be killed without forgiveness.
Pirates can't live on ships all their lives, and stolen goods have to be sold, so many islands at sea have their strongholds. Because it is far from the city and there is not much infrastructure construction, the environment where pirates gather is always poor.
Life at sea is a very dangerous and boring thing. Pirates live a life of licking blood with knives and nailing their heads to their belts. Once in a relaxed environment, it will become particularly indulgent. Just like the bandits' lair in China, pirates gather and fair-weather women are indispensable. This kind of drunken life makes them care less about their personal image and have no conditions to care. As long as they are rich, no one will care about their ugliness.
The most luxurious thing in the sea is fresh water, and the most difficult thing to see is vegetables. Considering such eating habits, it is difficult to keep them clean and hygienic. So often without clear teeth, it will become very black and there will be a lot of dirt on your body. Even Captain Jack Sparrow, the hero, is no exception. This is the exclusive feature of that era.
In fact, except this island, the sanitary conditions in other places are not much better at the same time. Those nobles who live on land don't have the habit of bathing and washing frequently. Therefore, it is not surprising that the image of pirates is dirty. This is what a conscience film should do.
