Die Schatzinsel
"Die Schatzinsel" (Treasure Island) - 1966: An Overview This film is a live-action, East-German/Czechoslovak adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel. However, it's crucial to know that it is not a direct, faithful adaptation of the book. Instead, it is a highly liberal and stylised re-imagining that blends the pirate adventure with the popular genre of the time: the Euro-Western. Plot Summary (The Basic Premise) The core premise remains the same: a young man, Jim Hawkins, comes into possession of a treasure map and embarks on a voyage to a remote island. However, the 1966 version takes significant liberties: Setting: While the novel is set in the 18th century, this film has a distinct 19th-century "Wild West" feel, with characters using revolvers and wearing costumes that feel more like cowboys than classic 1700s pirates.

How should Verjeat play out his values of honor and duty?
