The boy rushes worried outside into the bright night, where an alien spaceship takes him up for a life in outer space. Twenty-six years later, when Peter now know as Chris Pratt has grown into a muscular villain who calls himself “Star-Lord,” he will still feel kind a special passion towards his Mother, not because he refused to take her hand as a farewell, but because she left him that awesome mix tape.

Songs from this mixtape, all pop, soul, and rock songs from the 1970s, play throughout the movie and are symbolic of the tone the movie strikes.

  • Summary Of Villains Of All Nations By Marcus Rediker

    1543 Words  | 7 Pages

    In Marcus Rediker’s Villains of All Nations, pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny are represented as being vulnerable, emotional, extraordinary women. Both being born illegitimate children, Rediker poses an understanding, empathetic treatment of these women, despite their representation of ‘liberty’ emanating from the brutality of piracy. The constant referral to Read and Bonny as female pirates indiscreetly implies that Rediker interprets their participation in piracy as delicate, which is unjust.
