Question: Long John Silver, starring Robert Newton, is based on the pirate from what 1950 Walt Disney live action film?
Context: In English-speaking popular culture, the modern pirate stereotype owes its attributes mostly to the imagined tradition of the 18th century Caribbean pirate sailing off the Spanish Main and to such celebrated 20th century depictions as Captain Hook and his crew in the theatrical and film versions of "Peter Pan", Robert Newton's portrayal of Long John Silver in the 1950 film of "Treasure Island", and various adaptations of the Eastern pirate, "Sinbad the Sailor".  In these and countless other books, movies, and legends, pirates are portrayed as "swashbucklers" and "plunderers."  They are shown on ships, often wearing eyepatches or peg legs, having a parrot perched on their shoulder, and saying phrases like "Arr, matey" and "Avast, me hearty."  Pirates have retained their image through pirate-themed tourist attractions, traditional film and toy portrayals of pirates, and the continued performance and reading of books and plays featuring pirates. Kit Taylor (born 1942) is an Australian actor, the son of Grant Taylor.  He made his acting debut as Jim Hawkins in the film "Long John Silver" (1954) and the associated TV series "The Adventures of Long John Silver".  He went on to have an acting career as an adult. The Adventures of Long John Silver is a TV series about the Long John Silver character from "Treasure Island".  It was made in 1954 in colour in Australia for the American and British markets before the development of Australian television.

The Black Spot is a literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel "Treasure Island".  In the book, pirates are presented with a "black spot" to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgement.  It consists of a circular piece of paper or card, with one side blackened while the other side bears a message and placed in the hand of the accused.  It was a source of much fear because it meant the pirate was to be deposed as leader, by force if necessary—or else killed outright.  In "Treasure Island", Billy Bones is much frightened by it but remains determined to outwit his enemies; however, he suffers a stroke caused by the overconsumption of liquor and dies.  Later Long John Silver receives the spot, but is calm enough to notice that the paper bearing the spot has been torn out from a Bible, and warns his associates of the ill luck this will bring upon them. Long John Silver is a cunning and opportunistic pirate who was quartermaster under the notorious Captain Flint.  Long John Silver had a pet parrot called Captain Flint, often seen sitting on his shoulder where she would nibble on seeds.  Silver claims to have served in the Royal Navy and lost his leg under "the immortal Hawke".  "His left leg was cut off close by the hip, and under the left shoulder, he carried a crutch, which he managed with wonderful dexterity, hopping about upon it like a bird.  He was very tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham—plain and pale, but intelligent and smiling."  ("Treasure Island" (1883) by Robert Louis Stevenson page 82).  He claims to have been the only man whom Flint ever feared.  Like many of Stevenson's characters, there is more than a modicum of duality in the character; ostensibly Silver is a hardworking and likeable seaman, and it is only as the plot unfolds that his villainous nature is gradually revealed.  His relationship with Jim Hawkins, the novel's protagonist and narrator, is interesting, as he serves as a mentor and eventually father-figure to Jim, creating much shock and emotion when it is discovered that he is in charge of the mutiny, and especially when Jim must confront and fight him later on.  Although willing to change sides at any time to further his own interests, Silver has compensating virtues: he is wise enough to pay attention to money management, in contrast to the spendthrift ways of most of the pirates, and is physically courageous despite his disability; for instance, when Flint's cache is found to be empty, he coolly stands his ground against five grown men despite having only Jim, a boy in his teens, to back him. Treasure Island is a 1950 live action adventure film produced by Walt Disney Productions, adapted from the Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel "Treasure Island".
