Treasure Island is a 1985 adventure film directed by Chilean filmmaker Raúl Ruiz. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival. France, Great Britain and the United States funded Ruiz’s obscure and complex adaptation of the classic coming-of-age novel [b:Treasure Island|295|Treasure Island|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1485248909s/295.jpg|3077988] written by [a:Robert Louis Stevenson|854076|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1192746024p2/854076.jpg].


I am not a pirate fan


First Sentence: Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17-, and go back to the time when my father kept the "Admiral Benbow" inn, and the brown old seaman, with the sabre cut, first took up his lodging under our roof.

In the past two day's I've learned why I've never ventured into the pirate realm of reading.
I just could not care less for any of the characters, and YES it is all on me.
[a:Stevenson|854076|Robert Louis Stevenson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1192746024p2/854076.jpg] has a brilliant skill at relaying stories - adventures and colorful.
Pirates just is not for me!
