The thing I loved the most about this film, was 1. The opening sequence with the singing while walking to the gallows. That was just wonderfully haunting. But mainly Captain Barbossa's "I don't give a fuck!" attitude to everything going on, especially in the beginning. He's been undead for decades, then ACTUALLY died, and then was brought back to life. So he has ZERO fear, and is living every second as if it's his last, because he knows it very well might be. So the scene when they are trying to flip the ship, to get to Davy Jone's locker, and everyone is running around, panicking as the ship is being drawn into the maelstrom, but he's just swinging around up in the riggings, laughing his ass off at the whole thing. I just loved that moment so much xD
Captain Teague is Jack’s father, hence the way they interact and why he has Jack’s mom’s shrunken head. He’s played by Keith Richards who was partial inspiration for Jack Sparrow
Jacks dad said “it’s not just about living forever Jackie, it’s about living with yourself; forever” Jack could have and wanted to stab the heart but he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself knowing he could save Will, which is why we see him hesitating so much.
I always loved that no matter all the things between him and Will & Elizabeth or the things he calls them, at the end of the day, he clearly respects (and begrudgingly likes/loves?) them and can't let them suffer *that* fate, if he can help it~~~^.^
That scene of Elizabeth seeing her father on the boat is one of the most eerie but sad things. The way he seems detached, but still caring. Makes my skin crawl while I'm crying.
Them singing at the beginning I always took as an unofficial declaration of war against Beckett and the East India Trading Company so Beckett saying "finally" is him feeling like he is getting the excuse to carry out full out extermination on pirates he wanted.
@@Depth217 Until Captain Jack silver-tongued his way into convincing Lord B that although he may get all of the pirate forces in Tortega (sp?), the siege will still be tough so why not try for the way he has in mind instead.
The song is summoning of the brethren court, basically saying “pirates are in danger, we all need to meet up.” Beckett knows this and wants this, so that he can get all the pirates together and kill them. This is why he says “finally,” because it was his goal to get them to sing the song
I always took it as like... directors/writers want it to be deep, and it comes WAY too on the nose. Very cringe inducing scene. Love the movie but that scene with the boy the coin the singing, trying to take it way too seriously.
Fun Fact about Beckett's death: The effects of the exploding ship around him are PRACTICAL! Of course, they had to comp him into it and used stock explosions to finish it off but the ship was practically destroyed!
I get you Nat. I didn’t know the EIT installed escalators on their ships back then either. 😉 I like to imagine he’s having an out of body experience knowing he’s about to die. Might as well get ahead start on learning how to float.
"she hasn't aged at all though" I mean... Keira really hasn't aged that much in the past 17 years irl either! So 10 years in fiction actually totally believable.
20:42 I once saw the bloopers for this movie. There's one with this scene, where Tom Hollander blows a line and curses and Johnny Depp, _fully_ immersed in character as Captain Jack Sparrow, scolds him. "Oh, you _can't_ curse in a Disney film, mate."
There's another one with Chow Yun-Fat and Kiera Knightly. It's the scene where he rips off his necklace and gives it to her as he dies. In the blooper, he ripped of his beard with it and said in a pained voice "My beard!"
So a neat little detail throughout these three movies. The sword that killed Norrington and Will was the very same sword that Will made and presented to Norrington in the first film. It was surrendered when Norrington left the service between movies 1 and 2. Beckett gets it when he takes over Port Royale and presents it to Norrington as a symbol of his return to command at the start of this movie. Norrington stabs Davy Jones with it in his sacrifice scene, with Jones remarking it's a nice blade and opts to keep it, using it in his duel against Jack and Will, ultimately stabbing Will with it to kill him.
That's a symptom of excellent writing. The care for details. It's just there to appreciate if you want to, but it doesn't draw much attention to itself.
If I recall correctly, it nearly kills everyone who touches it! It's been a hot minute since i've seen the three movies back to back but Will hands it to the Governor Swan, who is slain by it when Norigiton retakes his commission (off screen I think, Becket says something about it when he gives it to Noriginton). Noriginton of course, is slane by Jones, During the fight between Jack and Jone sin the rigging, the swords drops onto the deck, and a random british soldier picked it up, and dies by it a moment later as Jones walks by, I think the only people who touch it and dont die from it directly are Jones and Governerswans Butler, who takes it from Will in the first movie, and is shot in head shortly after
@@Captain_tiberiussorry to be that guy, but this is all sorts of wrong. The governor is indeed killed offscreen, but well after Norrington is given back the sword, and seeing as James knew nothing of the good Governor's demise, we can safely assume the sword was not involved in any way. Also, Norrington was not killed by Jones, but by Bootstrap, with Bootstrap's own unremarkable, standard pirate blade. It's at this point that the sword changes hands and comes into Jones's possession. So actually, the only person of note that we see the sword kill is, in fact, Will Turner.
This is my favorite one. The scope is so big, I love that all the characters have some sort of arc. The score, action, effects are all great. “Hoist the colors” is amazing, at least the score is. I’ve seen ppl like Doug Walker criticize the movie for being so dark but I like that the opening sets the tone so well.
Love this one for how insane it is. "Let's make a PG-13 Disney movie with a mass hanging, a woman getting shot in the head on camera, a guy ripping off his frozen toe, a dude's face getting tentacled to death, the most fetish-y leg and foot scene since From Dusk Till Dawn, and the romantic pair getting tragically separated at the end."
"Malfaiteur en Tombeau, Crochir l'Esplanade, Dans l'Fond d'l'eau!" is what Calypso said when freed which translates to "Across all the waters, find the path to he who wrongfully entombed me"
Cutler Beckett (portrayed amazingly by Tom Hollander) is such a perfect villain for the Pirates world. An accountant in a world of magic and monster's, he holds his own through ruthless business dealings. Pirates may lack morals, but they have a twisted honour, whereas Beckett has none. And of course, Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa steals the show in every scene. He's underappreciated, but I feel as if he made the trilogy work just as much as Johnny Depp did.
This is my favorite movie of the series precisely because we have Barbossa in it so much in addition to Jack, Will and Elizabeth, and with the amazing Davy Jones as the villain. Barbossa and Jones being in the film make it the best for me.
It took me a bit of time to work out the logic for it way back when, but it actually makes sense for the East India Company to flee when the Pearl and Dutchman come at them. They knew the Dutchman's captain was merciless and actively cruel even to people he didn't have a grudge against... and that he had a massive grudge against the Company, with only some tenuous, ill-understood magic keeping him from acting on it. They'd just spent months using the Dutchman to scour the seas of pirates, something the Company fleet could never have done alone. They repeatedly witnessed how supernaturally fast, powerful, and invincible it was and how it was impossible to kill her crew. And then suddenly whatever hold Becket had over the Dutchman evaporated, the Dutchman promptly blew Becket to bits... and then started heading their way. Sounds like a good time to run.
Not just the Dutchman but the Black Pearl was legendary as well. They also just saw those two ships go into a giant Whirlpool with a concentrated magical storm, come out seemingly unscathed, and destroy their strongest ship. Honestly backing out was the smartest move yet.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: RANGO!!!!!!! I got heavy PIRATES 3 vibes when watching certain scenes in RANGO (makes sense given that they both share the same director).
Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy are just natural foils to each other, Nighy always as a no-nonsense villain with zero patience for Depp's crazy shenanigans.
Reason for unexpected emotions: Hans freakin' Zimmer, my friend. No joke, this trilogy was one of his masterpieces, and that final song for Will and Elizabeth called 'One Day' is so soaring and beautiful that it jerks the tears right outta you. Well that and this movie was very well written, tbh. It has to be camp because it's magic and such, but it's still so well grounded in built up love of the characters that it hits like any other drama.
Across the movies we watch Jack toss aside anything and everything in his quest to live forever, so watching him give it up so that Will and Elizabeth can have some type of a life together always struck me as the highlight of his ark!
The Governor was played by Welsh actor Jonathan Pryce, who also played the High Sparrow in *Game of Thrones.* One of his roles I'd recommend to you is as the WWI military psychologist Dr. William Rivers, who treated shell-shocked soldiers in Scotland - - one of his patients was the war poet Siegfried Sassoon. Another patient at the same hospital was also a war poet, Wilfred Owen, who died after being sent back to the trenches in the final days of the war. The film made from this is *Regeneration,* based on the Pat Barker novel. It's one of Pryce's finest performances, IMO.
Hey Natalie Beckett's death scene was actually part practical part CGI. They had a ship set made of basically balsa wood that they blew up and combined with a shot of Beckett walking and then layered CGI on top. Corridor Crew talked about it in one of their videos. Love the Pirate reactions!
The story of Calypso and Davy Jones is based on Greek mythology. During the war between the gods and the titans, Calypso sided with her father, the titan Atlas, over her fellow gods. When the gods defeated the titans, for her betrayal, Calypso was sentenced to never be allowed to be with the ones she loved. The movie worked this into the story. Since Calypso was a goddess, Jones became the Captain of the Flying Dutchman to live forever so he could be with her once every 10 years. But when she didn't meet him because of her punishment, he thought she tricked him into eternal servitude to the Dutchman, so he taught the Brethren Court how to bind her in human form to strip her of her power, then cut out his heart so he wouldn't feel any emotions since he still loved her and couldn't deal with the pain of her "betrayal". Then he stopped doing his duty to the Dutchman, which is why he became corrupt and all fish-like.
I don't think the greek tale with her punishment was included, because in the greek tale, she was stranded on an island where no one could visit or find her, and only the ones who arrived on her island were the ones who she would inevitably fall in love with, but with people who could not stay with her. She certainly wasn't stranded by herself on an island when we met her in the first film
the movies are silly but the Turner, Swan and Sparrow trilogy is really excellent all together, this one in particular i thought was quite epic, the ships spiraling in the water with the epic score playing and all the fighting, love it
This movie was released in 2007. At that time it was the most expensive movie ever made. It cost $300 million dollars to film, and made over $900 million in the box office. The maelstrom scene is still considered one of the most expensive visual effects in all of cinema. The decks of the pearl and the Dutchman were recreated to scale inside a giant hangar. The ships were put on giant lifts and they were able to program them to mimic ocean waves up to 30 feet tall. Shooting the scene took months to film, and Geoffrey Rush has stated there was so much rain that his costume weighed close to 50 pounds. On the behind the scenes someone stated “Can a man get any more wet?” And this is very accurate to how much rain was generated for the scene. The rain was so thick, the blue screen behind the ships was obstructed. So they had to lower the amount of rain water falling on the ships. Debris cannons were loaded to coordinate with the cannon blasts. All real effects in the battle. On top of that, all the scenes were digitally recreated so the entire sequence was shot twice. They overlapped the cgi sequences over the real footage to enhance their ability to do crazy special effects. On top of that, they used the real ship models at sea, and another set of models inside a US navy base. One of the biggest indoor ocean simulators made. There is a deleted scene that shows us how Jack became a Pirate. It takes place on the Endeavor with Beckett and Jack. It explains why there was a heavy price to pay Davy Jones. 100 souls. It is really cool, and I really wish they left it in the film. I hope you guys watch it. Jack is such a wonderful character and backstory on his character is kind of a mystery. Johnny Depp took inspiration from Keith Richards when creating Jack Sparrow. He viewed pirates as rock legends back in their day. So it made sense for the movie to cast Richards as Teague, Jacks father. The mini JS hanging onto his dreads were actually real life JD acting while hanging onto a gigantic prop of his dreads. The multiple Jacks scene was JD refilming a different JS gone crazy for each take, and layered over each other. A similar effect was used on Becketts death. They shot Beckett slow walking first and then layered it with the ship exploding behind him. Pretty cool stuff. I highly recommend watching all of the special features and deleted scenes. They are amazing. I fell in love with the soundtrack at the first note. I absolutely love it. I listen to it all of the time. If you listen to the entire Davy Jones suite, the notes convey his sadness, hopelessness, and rage. It is very well done. My favorite scene is the fight between Jack and Davy Jones. “Look there boys, a lost bird. A lost bird that never learned to fly.” “Never to late to learn eh?” “I can set you fee, mate.” “My freedom was forfeit long ago.” So good. Also, the transition from the edge of the world to the fade to black are sounds from the original attraction in Disneyland. Barbossa even quotes the ride “It be too late to alter course, mateys.” A nice nod to the source material. The first 3 films tell a complete story. The future films are one off movies. Which is fine for me. I love this world and I love the lore and the world building so much. I hope you watch the next two movies. Thank you for reacting to this series! 🏴☠️
The Verbinski pirate movies are full of detail and lore. For example; the sword Will makes in the first movie for Swann to hand to Norrington is the same sword Jones killed Will with. Beckett takes it and flaunts the sword throughout the second film. Norrington receives it again as admiral, and then Jones takes it.
"The Green Flash" is indeed a real thing, I've seen it. But like you said, it isn't anywhere near as dramatic as this movie makes it out to be. Basically the sunlight dips into the ocean and if conditions are right it will bounce back out at just the right angle to be seen while you're on a ship or shore. The green is the light being filtered through the ocean briefly. There is no bright flash of green so much as the sun briefly appears to turn green for a moment.
i carried my sister into theaters back in the days to see this movie, cannot believe how much evolved within the trilogy, truly an experience... is a masterpiece, the ending is near perfect, the CGI, the music, this is what movies are made for 9/10
I’m at a really low point in my life right now. Just extremely alone. But you have been helping me through it lately so thanks for these videos. Just wanted to say it before it was too late
Stranger Tides is worth a watch, but Dead Men Tell No Tales is a complete stain on the franchise. Ultimately, I'd recommend she leave the franchise now. It works best as a trilogy
@@aaronmoen7402 id agree but nat seems pretty invested in the will and elizabeth love story and one thing i give the 5th movie credit for is tying that up pretty nicely
They said it couldn't be done. Theme Park attraction turned into one movie and then 2 more. Becoming one of the highest grossing franchises of the 2000s and Disney's history. Johnny Depp's stardom after that first film was astounding. A more-beloved leading man, Oscar/Golden Globe nominations (Best Actor) and a major-box office draw after 20 years in the biz. At World's End was a great finale. Most expect trilogies to come and go. But some of us, even Disney knew it wasn't the last. That last scene of Jack off to another adventure. Like we were never going to see him again (yeah right) and like everyone else, I said bring it on. Those next two installments are pretty good as well.
The sword Davy Jones was using at the end was taken from Norrington after he was killed, and Norrington receives it at his promotion ceremony. It's the same sword Will shows to the governor in one of the first scenes in the first movie.
Geoffrey Rush is amazing as Barbossa! The personality, the one-liners, the look, it all combines to create one hell of a character and one hell of a performance!
Beckett was a great antagonist, he was doing what he thought was right and cleansing the seas, and he was quite smart. Just too much so. And he accepted death as he accepted loss
@@crimsonghoul8983 he is referring to Admiral James Norrington, The English officer who was supposed to Mary Elizabeth Swann and was after jack Sparrow in the first two film... He died saving Elizabeth in this movie... Watch at 23:34...
I LOVE this one! Beckett’s death is so satisfying and Elizabeth will always be my Pirate King 😍😍 I also love her and Will’s wedding, it’s my favorite wedding in all of cinema! Plus Barbossa is absolutely perfect, no notes 🏴☠️
AWE is and has been since it came out , in my top 5 favorite movies of all time The score, the cinematography, the story, the cast, literally everything was as perfect as can be
There's so many damn good one-liners/comebacks in this one, man "Do you fear death?" "Do you?" "I did not know" "Know what, which side you chose?" "What are you doing?" "Choosing a side" "I do not love you -- My heart will always belong to you"
The pirates original trilogy has honestly everything you can ask for in a movie. Everyone on set wanted to be there and loved it. And it shows. We don’t talk about the other ones..
Over 200 years ago, livestock was kept aboard some sea-going naval vessels to provide sailors with food, milk, eggs and, in some cases, pets. Goats have shipped out on warships dating back to the days before refrigeration when sailors needed livestock on ships for milk and meat. The sure-footed quadrupeds were the ideal candidates for seagoing life. Smaller and easier to feed and clean up than a cow, and they're first-class swimmers.
3:12 i've always seen it as a mix. The song being sung calls the brethren court which is what he wants to eliminate piracy, but it's also a play on the idea of the prisoner singing, that a prisoner singing is giving their jailor exactly what the jailor wants want.
Say what you will about this movie, but it has one of the most incredible OSTs I've ever listened to. I used to play it over and over when I was younger.
12:08 fun fact: they did! Overseas at one of the Disney parks (I forget which one) they did just that. It’s a Pirates ride based off the movies rather than the original ride from Cali.
This my favourite pirates movie. It was pure fun, the action scenes were great and the conclusion all felt satisfying. On top of that the perfect score of Hans Zimmer. I still get teary eyes when I hear Will and Elizabeths love theme.
Not sure if you caught it, but the sword Will makes in the first film (the first scene when hes giving it to the governor), is the same sword he was killed by. It traveled from Will to Norrington, Norrington to Davy Jones, then back to Will. Killed by his own creation.
I love this film and rate it highly. The first will always be my favourite but this is a very close second. The foreshadowing and payoffs are done so well. Like Will's touch of destiny line. He was destined to become the new captain of the Dutchman. Also Will is killed by the sword he made in the beginning of the first film. Now thats something else, very cool and brings the story full circle. Jack still losses the Pearl. Also nobody gets a true happy ending. Everyone losses something to complete their happy ending. 10 years at sea, map stolen and Pearl stolen from Jack again. The Trilogy starts and end the same way for Jack ending up on a small row boat. Great trilogy and one I come back too often.
Jack Davenport (Admiral Norrington) is working on his Sean Bean credentials ... dying in every movie he appears. He was the original Lancelot in _Kingsman: The Secret Service,_ cut in half by Sofia Boutella (Gazelle) while trying to rescue Mark Hamill (Professor Arnold)...
I will never forget that the home media release of this came with an FAQ booklet to try and explain the major plotpoints because somewhere along the line the writers realized they couldn't understand what the heck was going on in the movie.
The fact that's its heavily implied that will's giving Elizabeth head there, making her the only character in the entire Disney franchise to have canonically gotten head, lives rent free within me forever
Captain Barbossa! We need you at the helm. Aye, that be true. One of my favorite snippets from the entire series. The wedding on the ship and Elizabeth's inspirational speech are up there as well though.
The song at the start of the film "Hoist the Colours" has meaning. The words are a reflection of the story of Calypso and Davy Jones. Davy Jones being the King of the Brethren Court, aka The Pirate King, and Calypso being the Queen of the Seas. Give the words a very close listen and reflect on the story of the film.
This is my favorite of the 3 and as someone that is a sucker for tragic romance I enjoy the bittersweet ending. The lovers apart but will see each other every ten years. I found that ending perfect and feel not many movies would have the guts to go with that.
There’s a quote from adventure time, the quote is spoken by Death itself to a cursed man named Simon that used a cursed crown that made him live forever to defende his new found adopted daughter but in long term made him mad and dangerous to anyone even his daughter, in time a anti magic being appeared in the land and lifted the curse, so Simon was himself again but started dying of old age without the power of the crown, and in the verge of death he saw the reaper and the reaper said “Get real man, you are going to be cursed until the sun explodes up”, and this reminds me of Will turner, he’s going to deliver this souls of the death until infinity longing for his wife ashore, or until another man stabs his undead hearth
The crying comes from the impeccable Hans Zimmer music. The romance theme is one of the most powerful ever written!! Totally agree on your review too. Such an underrated film! One of my all time favorites. Hated I was in the minority when this came out that I loved it, and so many friends hated it.
I found out much later that Elizabeth's father plays a primairy antagonist in Game of Thrones. Pretty cool seeing him here. (He played High Sparrow in GoT)
This was my favorite of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Most people don't like its length and how much lore is stuffed into it, but that's why it's my favorite. It's also the only other film besides the 1960 Swiss Family Robinsons that showed non-European pirates or someone other than what we usually think of when we hear the word "pirates." That international pirate assembly is really interesting.
I was not ready for you to come on with an eyepatch lol. But I'm so happy you are doing this one now. These 3 movies are incredible. While they are goofy, and often even corny, they have INCREDIBLE actors.
To address the "why am I crying" - because, as you mention, it's sincere. For quite some time now one of biggest complaints moviegoers and movie reviewers had was the lack of sincerity. The dreaded "well, that just happened, shrug, wink, nudge" kinda writing, directing, and acting. You even mention it in this reaction when you listen to Elizabeth's speech. Like, these days such a dramatic tirade with tons of pathos would probably have an actual "womp womp" trombone sound effect played, and every pirate in the scene would smirk and Jim at the camera, shaking their heads. Hell, even the scenes that subvert expectations for comedic effect are always in-world shenanigans and they are also played sincerely, so they feel just as organic as the emotional moments, and not like the writers slapping you across the face through the screen for daring to feel things. So yeah, the viewer gets emotional because the movie lets itself be emotional too. It openly displays sincerity, inviting us to be open and sincere too.
39:51 "Why am I getting worked up?" that would be Hans Zimmer inexplicably writing one of the greatest cinematic love themes of all time for a goddamn pirate movie for no reason whatsoever
My only gripe with the movie is the reason why Davy Jones cut out his heart was because of Calypso, not because he was the Captain of the Flying Dutchman. So the rule that in order to be captain of the Dutchman you have to cut out your heart felt forced just so we could get that Will dying at the end without actually dying. But still a great movie!
Yeah, but it was a dramatic way to end the trilogy, with the two lovers actually meeting up again after 10 years. She either didn't leave, or returned to that island in preparation for his arrival, and he stayed true to his purpose, letting him come ashore as the man she loved.
Seems like a “keep what you kill” type deal. If I had to venture a guess, since Davy Jones made the deal only his involvement (as captain/ferryman) was necessary, and that the crew didn’t really factor into it. We see that Jones makes additions along the way, so we can assume the crew are interchangeable. I see the heart as sort of like a horcrux, Jones isn’t stab proof, it’s just that the heart is keeping him alive. Only thing I don’t understand is why there *needs* to be a ferryman, and how long has Calypso been doing this?
@@tonk3878 His job was to ferry the souls of those that die at sea to the other side. If he didn't, they likely just drifted along in the land of the dead for eternity. As for who did it before Davy Jones, I'd guess that Calypso did it herself either until the job got too big or she wanted a way to be with Davy Jones forever, since he'd be immortal as long as he was captain of the Flying Dutchman. The "keep what you kill" was prolly lumped in as a bonus, since she likely didn't want to have to pick the job back up again if he was killed. So it was a way to ensure that the Flying Dutchman always had a captain.
@@LucianDevine I can see Calypso employing Jones as a sea janitor because she is the sea, and the souls might be an unpleasant presence (sort of like litter). Also, I feel that, being an immortal and all, Calypso or Jones would eventually get around to ferrying the souls so I don’t understand the urgency. I imagine they (the souls) would find the gate eventually, I mean Jones hasn’t been doing his job for decades and they must be going somewhere. This is the age of pirates after all.
@@tonk3878 For all we know, the sea in the land of the dead has no land except for Davy Jones Locker, and even if it isn't infinitely large, even thousands of souls is just a drop in the bucket compared to the size of an ocean. Just because they go somewhere doesn't mean they make it to the other side. Maybe they sink into the depths of the Land of the Dead if they aren't ferried in a certain amount of time, never being at peace.
18:48 You see the detail? You see how the black pearl came to Living world from the Death world at under the water? That's how always the flying dutchman' coming to the living world
The story of the first one is the best, I think the music of the second is better. I still find myself humming the kraken theme to this day. I think the third is a happy medium between the two.

I am Big Fans ❤
I fast-forwarded through the advertisement with my nose. Sorry Natalie 😅
The thing I loved the most about this film, was 1. The opening sequence with the singing while walking to the gallows. That was just wonderfully haunting. But mainly Captain Barbossa's "I don't give a fuck!" attitude to everything going on, especially in the beginning. He's been undead for decades, then ACTUALLY died, and then was brought back to life. So he has ZERO fear, and is living every second as if it's his last, because he knows it very well might be. So the scene when they are trying to flip the ship, to get to Davy Jone's locker, and everyone is running around, panicking as the ship is being drawn into the maelstrom, but he's just swinging around up in the riggings, laughing his ass off at the whole thing. I just loved that moment so much xD

Captain Teague is Jack’s father, hence the way they interact and why he has Jack’s mom’s shrunken head. He’s played by Keith Richards who was partial inspiration for Jack Sparrow
Yup, when he calls Jack "(yer in my way) boy", he means it literally.
Interesting 🤔, I was thinking Teague was Jack's older brother. Kind of like Shanks and Luffy, lol. But I could be wrong

Genuinely words to live by.

Epic trailer moment
Jacks dad said “it’s not just about living forever Jackie, it’s about living with yourself; forever”
Jack could have and wanted to stab the heart but he wouldn’t have been able to live with himself knowing he could save Will, which is why we see him hesitating so much.
I always loved that no matter all the things between him and Will & Elizabeth or the things he calls them, at the end of the day, he clearly respects (and begrudgingly likes/loves?) them and can't let them suffer *that* fate, if he can help it~~~^.^
That scene of Elizabeth seeing her father on the boat is one of the most eerie but sad things. The way he seems detached, but still caring. Makes my skin crawl while I'm crying.
Them singing at the beginning I always took as an unofficial declaration of war against Beckett and the East India Trading Company so Beckett saying "finally" is him feeling like he is getting the excuse to carry out full out extermination on pirates he wanted.
He knows of the Brethren and has been waiting for them to rally together for a last stand where he can wipe them all out.
@@Depth217 Until Captain Jack silver-tongued his way into convincing Lord B that although he may get all of the pirate forces in Tortega (sp?), the siege will still be tough so why not try for the way he has in mind instead.
The pirates despair/singing caused the coin to ring summoning the pirate court to gather.
The song is summoning of the brethren court, basically saying “pirates are in danger, we all need to meet up.” Beckett knows this and wants this, so that he can get all the pirates together and kill them. This is why he says “finally,” because it was his goal to get them to sing the song
I always took it as like... directors/writers want it to be deep, and it comes WAY too on the nose. Very cringe inducing scene.
Love the movie but that scene with the boy the coin the singing, trying to take it way too seriously.
Fun Fact about Beckett's death: The effects of the exploding ship around him are PRACTICAL! Of course, they had to comp him into it and used stock explosions to finish it off but the ship was practically destroyed!
Haha see I told you I’m horrible at understanding effects! They just looked wonky to me somehow, but that’s definitely not my expertise

20:42 I once saw the bloopers for this movie. There's one with this scene, where Tom Hollander blows a line and curses and Johnny Depp, _fully_ immersed in character as Captain Jack Sparrow, scolds him. "Oh, you _can't_ curse in a Disney film, mate."
Another blooper was Geoffrey Rush’s hat being blown off during the releasing Calypso scene, and he said “aw, you blew me hat off, you bitch!” 😂😂
@@Depth217 Well, I see why they cut that. You can't curse in a Disney film.
@@Depth217 Also the blooper where he forgets his line after saying "Nay belay that!" and then says "do something else!"
There's another one with Chow Yun-Fat and Kiera Knightly. It's the scene where he rips off his necklace and gives it to her as he dies. In the blooper, he ripped of his beard with it and said in a pained voice "My beard!"
So a neat little detail throughout these three movies. The sword that killed Norrington and Will was the very same sword that Will made and presented to Norrington in the first film. It was surrendered when Norrington left the service between movies 1 and 2. Beckett gets it when he takes over Port Royale and presents it to Norrington as a symbol of his return to command at the start of this movie. Norrington stabs Davy Jones with it in his sacrifice scene, with Jones remarking it's a nice blade and opts to keep it, using it in his duel against Jack and Will, ultimately stabbing Will with it to kill him.
Suffice to say, that sword has seen some shit!
That's a symptom of excellent writing. The care for details. It's just there to appreciate if you want to, but it doesn't draw much attention to itself.
If I recall correctly, it nearly kills everyone who touches it! It's been a hot minute since i've seen the three movies back to back but Will hands it to the Governor Swan, who is slain by it when Norigiton retakes his commission (off screen I think, Becket says something about it when he gives it to Noriginton). Noriginton of course, is slane by Jones, During the fight between Jack and Jone sin the rigging, the swords drops onto the deck, and a random british soldier picked it up, and dies by it a moment later as Jones walks by, I think the only people who touch it and dont die from it directly are Jones and Governerswans Butler, who takes it from Will in the first movie, and is shot in head shortly after
Such a fun detail, unofficially dubbed the Sword of Destiny by fans back when the films were happening
@@Captain_tiberiussorry to be that guy, but this is all sorts of wrong.
The governor is indeed killed offscreen, but well after Norrington is given back the sword, and seeing as James knew nothing of the good Governor's demise, we can safely assume the sword was not involved in any way.
Also, Norrington was not killed by Jones, but by Bootstrap, with Bootstrap's own unremarkable, standard pirate blade. It's at this point that the sword changes hands and comes into Jones's possession.
So actually, the only person of note that we see the sword kill is, in fact, Will Turner.
This is my favorite one. The scope is so big, I love that all the characters have some sort of arc. The score, action, effects are all great.
“Hoist the colors” is amazing, at least the score is.
I’ve seen ppl like Doug Walker criticize the movie for being so dark but I like that the opening sets the tone so well.
I’m with you in that one, this is my favourite of the series! Which is funny because she’s I’m not usually into the whole dark and grimy thing
Love this one for how insane it is. "Let's make a PG-13 Disney movie with a mass hanging, a woman getting shot in the head on camera, a guy ripping off his frozen toe, a dude's face getting tentacled to death, the most fetish-y leg and foot scene since From Dusk Till Dawn, and the romantic pair getting tragically separated at the end."
I'm with you.
I never understood how this got a PG-13 rating.
I wonder who they paid off for that one.
Disney had a hand in making the rating system in the first place.
@@CigarMick I'm Generation X. I'll never understand how "Sixteen Candles" got a PG rating.
Different time lol just like with a lot of movies from the past
@@charleslee8313 Right there with you.
"Malfaiteur en Tombeau, Crochir l'Esplanade, Dans l'Fond d'l'eau!" is what Calypso said when freed which translates to "Across all the waters, find the path to he who wrongfully entombed me"
At World's End is my favourite POC movie. I watched it 6 times in the theatre that summer!
I saw At World's End in theaters when it came out, and to this day it's my favorite out of all the films
This is one of the movies that I wouldn't mind if they re-released in IMAX theatres.
Nat: Im fine i don't even care
Hans Zimmer: plays "One Day"
Nat: 😭
Cutler Beckett (portrayed amazingly by Tom Hollander) is such a perfect villain for the Pirates world. An accountant in a world of magic and monster's, he holds his own through ruthless business dealings. Pirates may lack morals, but they have a twisted honour, whereas Beckett has none.
And of course, Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa steals the show in every scene. He's underappreciated, but I feel as if he made the trilogy work just as much as Johnny Depp did.
This is my favorite movie of the series precisely because we have Barbossa in it so much in addition to Jack, Will and Elizabeth, and with the amazing Davy Jones as the villain. Barbossa and Jones being in the film make it the best for me.
It took me a bit of time to work out the logic for it way back when, but it actually makes sense for the East India Company to flee when the Pearl and Dutchman come at them. They knew the Dutchman's captain was merciless and actively cruel even to people he didn't have a grudge against... and that he had a massive grudge against the Company, with only some tenuous, ill-understood magic keeping him from acting on it. They'd just spent months using the Dutchman to scour the seas of pirates, something the Company fleet could never have done alone. They repeatedly witnessed how supernaturally fast, powerful, and invincible it was and how it was impossible to kill her crew. And then suddenly whatever hold Becket had over the Dutchman evaporated, the Dutchman promptly blew Becket to bits... and then started heading their way.
Sounds like a good time to run.
Not just the Dutchman but the Black Pearl was legendary as well. They also just saw those two ships go into a giant Whirlpool with a concentrated magical storm, come out seemingly unscathed, and destroy their strongest ship. Honestly backing out was the smartest move yet.
My brother’s logic was much simpler: the guy signing their paychecks just went up in flames. No use dying for him now lol
I've said it before and I'll say it again: RANGO!!!!!!!
I got heavy PIRATES 3 vibes when watching certain scenes in RANGO (makes sense given that they both share the same director).
And they share the same villain
yes. I love that movie, one of the most singular animated movies ever, the characters, the cinematography, the music…
Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy are just natural foils to each other, Nighy always as a no-nonsense villain with zero patience for Depp's crazy shenanigans.
@@WhiteFangofWar Lawful Evil VS Chaotic Good
Thissss
Reason for unexpected emotions: Hans freakin' Zimmer, my friend. No joke, this trilogy was one of his masterpieces, and that final song for Will and Elizabeth called 'One Day' is so soaring and beautiful that it jerks the tears right outta you. Well that and this movie was very well written, tbh. It has to be camp because it's magic and such, but it's still so well grounded in built up love of the characters that it hits like any other drama.
Across the movies we watch Jack toss aside anything and everything in his quest to live forever, so watching him give it up so that Will and Elizabeth can have some type of a life together always struck me as the highlight of his ark!
The Governor was played by Welsh actor Jonathan Pryce, who also played the High Sparrow in *Game of Thrones.* One of his roles I'd recommend to you is as the WWI military psychologist Dr. William Rivers, who treated shell-shocked soldiers in Scotland - - one of his patients was the war poet Siegfried Sassoon. Another patient at the same hospital was also a war poet, Wilfred Owen, who died after being sent back to the trenches in the final days of the war. The film made from this is *Regeneration,* based on the Pat Barker novel. It's one of Pryce's finest performances, IMO.
He also played the Engineer in Miss Saigon & Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies... 😉
Hey Natalie
Beckett's death scene was actually part practical part CGI. They had a ship set made of basically balsa wood that they blew up and combined with a shot of Beckett walking and then layered CGI on top. Corridor Crew talked about it in one of their videos.
Love the Pirate reactions!
The story of Calypso and Davy Jones is based on Greek mythology. During the war between the gods and the titans, Calypso sided with her father, the titan Atlas, over her fellow gods. When the gods defeated the titans, for her betrayal, Calypso was sentenced to never be allowed to be with the ones she loved. The movie worked this into the story. Since Calypso was a goddess, Jones became the Captain of the Flying Dutchman to live forever so he could be with her once every 10 years. But when she didn't meet him because of her punishment, he thought she tricked him into eternal servitude to the Dutchman, so he taught the Brethren Court how to bind her in human form to strip her of her power, then cut out his heart so he wouldn't feel any emotions since he still loved her and couldn't deal with the pain of her "betrayal". Then he stopped doing his duty to the Dutchman, which is why he became corrupt and all fish-like.
I don't think the greek tale with her punishment was included, because in the greek tale, she was stranded on an island where no one could visit or find her, and only the ones who arrived on her island were the ones who she would inevitably fall in love with, but with people who could not stay with her. She certainly wasn't stranded by herself on an island when we met her in the first film
Very cool, thanks for the info! 💖
the movies are silly but the Turner, Swan and Sparrow trilogy is really excellent all together, this one in particular i thought was quite epic, the ships spiraling in the water with the epic score playing and all the fighting, love it
I appreciate that Natalie says "when we're done with this trilogy" because there is definitely no 4th and 5th films. Nah.
This movie was released in 2007. At that time it was the most expensive movie ever made. It cost $300 million dollars to film, and made over $900 million in the box office. The maelstrom scene is still considered one of the most expensive visual effects in all of cinema.
The decks of the pearl and the Dutchman were recreated to scale inside a giant hangar. The ships were put on giant lifts and they were able to program them to mimic ocean waves up to 30 feet tall. Shooting the scene took months to film, and Geoffrey Rush has stated there was so much rain that his costume weighed close to 50 pounds. On the behind the scenes someone stated “Can a man get any more wet?” And this is very accurate to how much rain was generated for the scene. The rain was so thick, the blue screen behind the ships was obstructed. So they had to lower the amount of rain water falling on the ships. Debris cannons were loaded to coordinate with the cannon blasts. All real effects in the battle. On top of that, all the scenes were digitally recreated so the entire sequence was shot twice. They overlapped the cgi sequences over the real footage to enhance their ability to do crazy special effects. On top of that, they used the real ship models at sea, and another set of models inside a US navy base. One of the biggest indoor ocean simulators made.
There is a deleted scene that shows us how Jack became a Pirate. It takes place on the Endeavor with Beckett and Jack. It explains why there was a heavy price to pay Davy Jones. 100 souls. It is really cool, and I really wish they left it in the film. I hope you guys watch it. Jack is such a wonderful character and backstory on his character is kind of a mystery.
Johnny Depp took inspiration from Keith Richards when creating Jack Sparrow. He viewed pirates as rock legends back in their day. So it made sense for the movie to cast Richards as Teague, Jacks father.
The mini JS hanging onto his dreads were actually real life JD acting while hanging onto a gigantic prop of his dreads.
The multiple Jacks scene was JD refilming a different JS gone crazy for each take, and layered over each other. A similar effect was used on Becketts death. They shot Beckett slow walking first and then layered it with the ship exploding behind him. Pretty cool stuff.
I highly recommend watching all of the special features and deleted scenes. They are amazing.
I fell in love with the soundtrack at the first note. I absolutely love it. I listen to it all of the time. If you listen to the entire Davy Jones suite, the notes convey his sadness, hopelessness, and rage. It is very well done.
My favorite scene is the fight between Jack and Davy Jones. “Look there boys, a lost bird. A lost bird that never learned to fly.” “Never to late to learn eh?” “I can set you fee, mate.” “My freedom was forfeit long ago.” So good.
Also, the transition from the edge of the world to the fade to black are sounds from the original attraction in Disneyland. Barbossa even quotes the ride “It be too late to alter course, mateys.” A nice nod to the source material.
The first 3 films tell a complete story. The future films are one off movies. Which is fine for me. I love this world and I love the lore and the world building so much. I hope you watch the next two movies.
Thank you for reacting to this series! 🏴☠️
The Verbinski pirate movies are full of detail and lore.
For example; the sword Will makes in the first movie for Swann to hand to Norrington is the same sword Jones killed Will with.
Beckett takes it and flaunts the sword throughout the second film. Norrington receives it again as admiral, and then Jones takes it.
Ive always felt that this one is underrated, probably just because of how well regarded the second one is. Excited to watch ur reaction!
"The Green Flash" is indeed a real thing, I've seen it. But like you said, it isn't anywhere near as dramatic as this movie makes it out to be. Basically the sunlight dips into the ocean and if conditions are right it will bounce back out at just the right angle to be seen while you're on a ship or shore. The green is the light being filtered through the ocean briefly. There is no bright flash of green so much as the sun briefly appears to turn green for a moment.
I've see it too .. A very cool natural effect ...
i carried my sister into theaters back in the days to see this movie, cannot believe how much evolved within the trilogy, truly an experience... is a masterpiece, the ending is near perfect, the CGI, the music, this is what movies are made for 9/10
I’m at a really low point in my life right now. Just extremely alone. But you have been helping me through it lately so thanks for these videos. Just wanted to say it before it was too late
4 & 5 are worth watching as long as you keep expectations in check, they dont match up to the first 3 but have some good and funny moments
Well said
Stranger Tides is worth a watch, but Dead Men Tell No Tales is a complete stain on the franchise. Ultimately, I'd recommend she leave the franchise now. It works best as a trilogy
@@aaronmoen7402 id agree but nat seems pretty invested in the will and elizabeth love story and one thing i give the 5th movie credit for is tying that up pretty nicely
@SinematicClips It'd tie up nicely if it made sense. Will has no heart in his chest. When the curse lifts, he should be dead.
@@aaronmoen7402 that is a good point i didnt consider lmao, weirdly it did occur to me that salazar and his men should've died though
Probably the best of the franchise. The first is iconic but this one is incredible.
They said it couldn't be done.
Theme Park attraction turned into one movie and then 2 more.
Becoming one of the highest grossing franchises of the 2000s and Disney's history.
Johnny Depp's stardom after that first film was astounding.
A more-beloved leading man, Oscar/Golden Globe nominations (Best Actor) and a major-box office draw after 20 years in the biz.
At World's End was a great finale.
Most expect trilogies to come and go.
But some of us, even Disney knew it wasn't the last.
That last scene of Jack off to another adventure.
Like we were never going to see him again (yeah right) and like everyone else, I said bring it on.
Those next two installments are pretty good as well.
The sword Davy Jones was using at the end was taken from Norrington after he was killed, and Norrington receives it at his promotion ceremony. It's the same sword Will shows to the governor in one of the first scenes in the first movie.
Davy Jones specifically in this movie is my favorite movie character ever ❤
I love how you can hear the mermaid theme from the next movie when they are sailing through the ice @ 10:45
Kieth Richards did a fantastic job playing Capt. Teague.
Geoffrey Rush is amazing as Barbossa! The personality, the one-liners, the look, it all combines to create one hell of a character and one hell of a performance!
Beckett was a great antagonist, he was doing what he thought was right and cleansing the seas, and he was quite smart. Just too much so. And he accepted death as he accepted loss
This is by far my favourite. I really loved all the character development in this. Especially with exploring more of Davy Jones history.
RIP James Norrington, unsung and underrated hero of the POTC franchise. ❤️
Sorry but who are you referring to?
@@crimsonghoul8983 he is referring to Admiral James Norrington, The English officer who was supposed to Mary Elizabeth Swann and was after jack Sparrow in the first two film... He died saving Elizabeth in this movie... Watch at 23:34...
@@Bsm420 oh...i thought he was referring to an actor. Never mind.
I LOVE this one! Beckett’s death is so satisfying and Elizabeth will always be my Pirate King 😍😍 I also love her and Will’s wedding, it’s my favorite wedding in all of cinema! Plus Barbossa is absolutely perfect, no notes 🏴☠️
She is so cool in this one.
Aye, that be true.
AWE is and has been since it came out , in my top 5 favorite movies of all time
The score, the cinematography, the story, the cast, literally everything was as perfect as can be
I hope you plan on watching the next one. Ian McShane as Blackbeard was phenomenal.
There's so many damn good one-liners/comebacks in this one, man
"Do you fear death?" "Do you?"
"I did not know" "Know what, which side you chose?" "What are you doing?" "Choosing a side"
"I do not love you -- My heart will always belong to you"
You know, the more time goes by, the more I like this one. In fact, I think it might be my favorite of the series.
The pirates original trilogy has honestly everything you can ask for in a movie. Everyone on set wanted to be there and loved it. And it shows. We don’t talk about the other ones..
I grew up watching these movies, still love them
the flash of green is way more dramatic in the movie like you said but still phenomenal nonetheless in real life
Over 200 years ago, livestock was kept aboard some sea-going naval vessels to provide sailors with food, milk, eggs and, in some cases, pets. Goats have shipped out on warships dating back to the days before refrigeration when sailors needed livestock on ships for milk and meat. The sure-footed quadrupeds were the ideal candidates for seagoing life. Smaller and easier to feed and clean up than a cow, and they're first-class swimmers.
3:12 i've always seen it as a mix. The song being sung calls the brethren court which is what he wants to eliminate piracy, but it's also a play on the idea of the prisoner singing, that a prisoner singing is giving their jailor exactly what the jailor wants want.
omg the music in this show makes me emotinal all the time. its so powerful
22:44 They hinted at it in the first movie a few times, but especially right before Will reveals that he didn't die when the ship explodes~
Say what you will about this movie, but it has one of the most incredible OSTs I've ever listened to. I used to play it over and over when I was younger.
This is my fav of the franchise because the side switching backstabbing every 5 minutes was hysterical and I felt genius.
There are very few characters that can be such a great villain then become one of the most love main characters, Barbosa is one of them
First time I saw this, I was very drunk, and the scenes with Jack and the crabs was very surreal.
12:08 fun fact: they did! Overseas at one of the Disney parks (I forget which one) they did just that. It’s a Pirates ride based off the movies rather than the original ride from Cali.
I think it's the perfect score that gets you emotional on top of fitting conclusions for all our main characters.
11:45
That’s one of my favorite bits from the blooper reel
“Nay! Belay that!
*Long pause because he forgot his line*
Do something else!”
This my favourite pirates movie. It was pure fun, the action scenes were great and the conclusion all felt satisfying. On top of that the perfect score of Hans Zimmer. I still get teary eyes when I hear Will and Elizabeths love theme.
Not sure if you caught it, but the sword Will makes in the first film (the first scene when hes giving it to the governor), is the same sword he was killed by. It traveled from Will to Norrington, Norrington to Davy Jones, then back to Will.
Killed by his own creation.
Sensational Davy Jones performance. Another great Bill Nighy movie to watch is About Time! You wouldn’t regret it!
I love this film and rate it highly. The first will always be my favourite but this is a very close second. The foreshadowing and payoffs are done so well. Like Will's touch of destiny line. He was destined to become the new captain of the Dutchman. Also Will is killed by the sword he made in the beginning of the first film. Now thats something else, very cool and brings the story full circle. Jack still losses the Pearl. Also nobody gets a true happy ending. Everyone losses something to complete their happy ending. 10 years at sea, map stolen and Pearl stolen from Jack again. The Trilogy starts and end the same way for Jack ending up on a small row boat. Great trilogy and one I come back too often.
Jack Davenport (Admiral Norrington) is working on his Sean Bean credentials ... dying in every movie he appears. He was the original Lancelot in _Kingsman: The Secret Service,_ cut in half by Sofia Boutella (Gazelle) while trying to rescue Mark Hamill (Professor Arnold)...
I will never forget that the home media release of this came with an FAQ booklet to try and explain the major plotpoints because somewhere along the line the writers realized they couldn't understand what the heck was going on in the movie.
OHHHHH FINALLLYYY MY FAV OF THEN ALL
The fact that's its heavily implied that will's giving Elizabeth head there, making her the only character in the entire Disney franchise to have canonically gotten head, lives rent free within me forever
It's worth mentioning a lot of the feels from this movie stem from how well Hans Zimmer scored this movie. Some of his best work.
Natalie in both Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales both have things you won't see coming
There will not be another trilogy this good in my lifetime. It is close to perfect and easy to just get lost in. I love it.
Captain Barbossa! We need you at the helm.
Aye, that be true.
One of my favorite snippets from the entire series. The wedding on the ship and Elizabeth's inspirational speech are up there as well though.
The song at the start of the film "Hoist the Colours" has meaning. The words are a reflection of the story of Calypso and Davy Jones. Davy Jones being the King of the Brethren Court, aka The Pirate King, and Calypso being the Queen of the Seas. Give the words a very close listen and reflect on the story of the film.
This is my favorite of the 3 and as someone that is a sucker for tragic romance I enjoy the bittersweet ending. The lovers apart but will see each other every ten years. I found that ending perfect and feel not many movies would have the guts to go with that.
I liked this one the best. The Calypso storyline and Will becoming Capt of the Dutchman by Jack allowing his life to be "saved".
There’s a quote from adventure time, the quote is spoken by Death itself to a cursed man named Simon that used a cursed crown that made him live forever to defende his new found adopted daughter but in long term made him mad and dangerous to anyone even his daughter, in time a anti magic being appeared in the land and lifted the curse, so Simon was himself again but started dying of old age without the power of the crown, and in the verge of death he saw the reaper and the reaper said “Get real man, you are going to be cursed until the sun explodes up”, and this reminds me of Will turner, he’s going to deliver this souls of the death until infinity longing for his wife ashore, or until another man stabs his undead hearth
The crying comes from the impeccable Hans Zimmer music. The romance theme is one of the most powerful ever written!!
Totally agree on your review too. Such an underrated film! One of my all time favorites. Hated I was in the minority when this came out that I loved it, and so many friends hated it.
Jack's dad is played by Keith Richards
I found out much later that Elizabeth's father plays a primairy antagonist in Game of Thrones. Pretty cool seeing him here. (He played High Sparrow in GoT)
One of my favorite trilogies ever!!!
I honestly love Geoffery Rush in these movies. As much as anyone else.
This was my favorite of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Most people don't like its length and how much lore is stuffed into it, but that's why it's my favorite. It's also the only other film besides the 1960 Swiss Family Robinsons that showed non-European pirates or someone other than what we usually think of when we hear the word "pirates." That international pirate assembly is really interesting.
☹️ this edit really stepped on some of the biggest and most epic parts of the movie. Elizabeth’s speech is my favorite part of the movie.
I was not ready for you to come on with an eyepatch lol. But I'm so happy you are doing this one now. These 3 movies are incredible. While they are goofy, and often even corny, they have INCREDIBLE actors.
*There's no way that the Becket scene would happen practically, and I forgot that Hoist of colors were in this movie, I love that song*
The climax of this film is one of the most creative set pieces I’ve seen for a franchise climax
To address the "why am I crying" - because, as you mention, it's sincere. For quite some time now one of biggest complaints moviegoers and movie reviewers had was the lack of sincerity. The dreaded "well, that just happened, shrug, wink, nudge" kinda writing, directing, and acting. You even mention it in this reaction when you listen to Elizabeth's speech. Like, these days such a dramatic tirade with tons of pathos would probably have an actual "womp womp" trombone sound effect played, and every pirate in the scene would smirk and Jim at the camera, shaking their heads. Hell, even the scenes that subvert expectations for comedic effect are always in-world shenanigans and they are also played sincerely, so they feel just as organic as the emotional moments, and not like the writers slapping you across the face through the screen for daring to feel things. So yeah, the viewer gets emotional because the movie lets itself be emotional too. It openly displays sincerity, inviting us to be open and sincere too.
Wonderful finale. Only in retrospect did I notice the parallel between Jones/Calypso and Will/Elizabeth being unable to trust each other.
39:51 "Why am I getting worked up?"
that would be Hans Zimmer inexplicably writing one of the greatest cinematic love themes of all time for a goddamn pirate movie for no reason whatsoever
I didn't expect you to cry either Natalie, STAAHP! 😥😥😭
The old guy with the guitar is Jack's dad. And played by Keith Richard's from the rolling stones
Ah yes, i loved watching this one with you! It's so fun 😁
the opening to this film is one of the greatest ever
My only gripe with the movie is the reason why Davy Jones cut out his heart was because of Calypso, not because he was the Captain of the Flying Dutchman. So the rule that in order to be captain of the Dutchman you have to cut out your heart felt forced just so we could get that Will dying at the end without actually dying. But still a great movie!
Yeah, but it was a dramatic way to end the trilogy, with the two lovers actually meeting up again after 10 years. She either didn't leave, or returned to that island in preparation for his arrival, and he stayed true to his purpose, letting him come ashore as the man she loved.
Seems like a “keep what you kill” type deal.
If I had to venture a guess, since Davy Jones made the deal only his involvement (as captain/ferryman) was necessary, and that the crew didn’t really factor into it. We see that Jones makes additions along the way, so we can assume the crew are interchangeable.
I see the heart as sort of like a horcrux, Jones isn’t stab proof, it’s just that the heart is keeping him alive.
Only thing I don’t understand is why there *needs* to be a ferryman, and how long has Calypso been doing this?
@@tonk3878 His job was to ferry the souls of those that die at sea to the other side. If he didn't, they likely just drifted along in the land of the dead for eternity.
As for who did it before Davy Jones, I'd guess that Calypso did it herself either until the job got too big or she wanted a way to be with Davy Jones forever, since he'd be immortal as long as he was captain of the Flying Dutchman.
The "keep what you kill" was prolly lumped in as a bonus, since she likely didn't want to have to pick the job back up again if he was killed. So it was a way to ensure that the Flying Dutchman always had a captain.
@@LucianDevine I can see Calypso employing Jones as a sea janitor because she is the sea, and the souls might be an unpleasant presence (sort of like litter). Also, I feel that, being an immortal and all, Calypso or Jones would eventually get around to ferrying the souls so I don’t understand the urgency.
I imagine they (the souls) would find the gate eventually, I mean Jones hasn’t been doing his job for decades and they must be going somewhere. This is the age of pirates after all.
@@tonk3878 For all we know, the sea in the land of the dead has no land except for Davy Jones Locker, and even if it isn't infinitely large, even thousands of souls is just a drop in the bucket compared to the size of an ocean. Just because they go somewhere doesn't mean they make it to the other side. Maybe they sink into the depths of the Land of the Dead if they aren't ferried in a certain amount of time, never being at peace.
I really love this franchise! I hope you watch the next two too! I really enjoyed the 5th one. Dead men tell no tales.
Holy 5-minute infomercial out of nowhere!!!
18:48 You see the detail? You see how the black pearl came to Living world from the Death world at under the water? That's how always the flying dutchman' coming to the living world
True, but it's not the first time it's risen from the deeps. Davy Jones lifted it from the depths to give to Jack, as per their bargain.
The story of the first one is the best, I think the music of the second is better. I still find myself humming the kraken theme to this day. I think the third is a happy medium between the two.
