If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. -Marty McFly

What is the message of Back to the Future?

The suggestion is that if we can identify our mistakes and our limitations, we can correct them and improve ourselves. The other theme is that we don't change. That life has chosen a path for us and we're just along for the ride. This is also presented, in cinematic irony, through George McFly.

Pirates

Let's talk about what piracy is:

Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable goods. Those who conduct acts of piracy are called pirates, vessels used for piracy are pirate ships. The earliest documented instances of piracy were in the 14th century BC, when the Sea Peoples, a group of ocean raiders, attacked the ships of the Aegean and Mediterranean civilisations. Narrow channels which funnel shipping into predictable routes have long created opportunities for piracy,[1] as well as for privateering and commerce raiding. Historic examples include the waters of Gibraltar, the Strait of Malacca, Madagascar, the Gulf of Aden, and the English Channel, whose geographic structures facilitated pirate attacks.[2][3] The term piracy generally refers to maritime piracy, although the term has been generalized to refer to acts committed on land,[4] in the air, on computer networks, and (in science fiction), outer space. Piracy usually excludes crimes committed by the perpetrator on their own vessel (e.g. theft), as well as privateering, which implies authorization by a state government. (From Wikipedia)

And here's a fun documentary on the golden age of piracy during the early 18th century:
