You catch SOO many things in movies. You are becoming my favorite reactor because you say and notice things that really add to my enjoyment 1.)you noticed Sparrow recognized the last name 2.)you noticed the character arcs 3)you RECOGNIZED Aztec symbolism on the gold 4.)you recognized that Jack does everything to serve himself 5.)you pretty mailed EVERY character's inner motives from the beginning. Drink up me hearty. Yo ho.
First time I've ever seen someone recognize the Aztec design. That is SUCH a small detail that even if people notice, they usually don't mention it. So cool.
One of my all time favorite captain Jack witticisms is "the problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem." I think of that so often when someone's (including my) negativity is getting in the way of finding solutions.
In the one scene where they used a longboat to travel underwater, the oxigen deprivation of the small space caused him to get so confused he started speaking elvish
“One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness” “Though it seems enough to condemn him” I don’t know why I love that exchange so much……I don’t even know what it means, but you know he’s making a point
In the context of Jack, he was branded a pirate for doing a good deed. The East India company, and Cutler Beckett in particular, hired him to “transport cargo.” “Cargo” he instead liberated. There’s a deleted scene in AWE where Jack and Beckett discuss it. Jack says “People aren’t cargo.” It’s actually related to a scene in DMC as well. After Jack gets eaten by the Kraken, the crew go see Tia Dalma/Calypso. There are people all around outside, but they aren’t really discussed. They are the people Jack set free, paying their respects.
@@FutureBereaAlumn RIGHT…forgot about that…that’s in The Price of Freedom, right?…MASSIVE prequel book explaining how Jack used ti work for the East India company, and his deal with Davy Jones
He's saying that the only reason he came to their attention in that scene was because he had just done a good deed. If he hadn't done it, they wouldn't have caught him. He's essentially being punished for doing a good deed.
If you don't already know, the movies are based on Walt Disney's ride of the same name. The role of Captain Jack Sparrow was originally written for Hugh Jackman; however he was not well known outside of Australia at the time so Disney cast Johnny Depp instead, who was fairly well known. Johnny Depp based the character of Captain Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones (who appears in the third film). Depp also improvised Jack's catch phrase, "Savvy?" Additionally, one of the film's last lines, "Bring me that horizon", was conceived by Depp the morning the scene was filmed. Jack's “drunk walk” is actually the result of his "sea legs". When he's on land his walk is unbalanced, while at sea he walks straight. That is because he spends more time at sea than on land. Some people consider it as a triology because 4 and 5 are not as good as 1-3, but I always say to people to watch it and decide for yourself. It may be an unpopular opinion but I personally enjoy both. Btw there is an end-credits scene in all of the films (at least 1-3).
@@tracim3080 4 was directly related as he went for the fountain of you, as he was on his way to at the end of 3...and was pretty good, the 5th was less good though, nearly horrible in fact
@@Guardian582 you need to work on your reading comprehension, I pointed out there’s still connected. I’m pointing out there less directly connected. The word “less” implies it’s still connected.

You should watch the hollywood Vienna 2018 10 minute medley of the pirates of the caribbean score. It's just incredible, with Hanz Zimmer himself coming up on the stage at the end. He outdid himself with this score, It's up there with the best of john williams for sure, although they have very different styles, with Zimmer using a lot of percussion and emotional solo instruments, and Williams going for the more classic big symphonic sound, combined with fantasy, child like wonder.
the moment Jack falls at the end is actually kinda genius. He knows Elizabeth survived by sheer luck, because of all the rocks in the ocean. So he chose to fall aswell
I equally love the LEGO video game for these movies. They're just so fun to play, and finding hidden stuff with Jack's compas, and with the graphics still holding up to this day, for a LEGO game.
45:11 character growth indeed. James Norrington is one of the most under appreciated characters in this entire series. He's actually my favourite character. This is also only one way in which his character grows. He has a very interesting arc throughout this series. He's very well written.
I love the underwater walking with the boat scene. This is a Disney movie made for kids, who wouldn't even think about such things, why it works perfectly. It's like star wars, kids love it, compared to adults just meming and picking the movies apart.
15:31 It's nice to hear someone appreciate out loud how ballsy Elizabeth is. I think a lot of people don't really notice it, maybe because it isn't commented on in the film itself. (Which, to be clear, I think is a good thing; I like that the movie allows her coolness to speak for itself.) Pirates invade her home, and instead of just hiding she fights back as best she can; even _tries_ to grab a sword, which she has no clue how to use. (Which, when you think about it, means she was mentally prepared to square up to a freaking pirate with a weapon she's never touched in her life 😂) When hiding and defending fails, she practically _demands_ that they take her to their captain to negotiate. During dinner with Barbossa, the _moment_ she feels genuinely threatened she _goes at him with a goddamn table knife._ Ill-advised, yes, but you _have_ to admire the sheer moxie. She even gets in a few solid hits and gunshots during the Interceptor/Black Pearl fight, and throws in with Will a little bit during the final fight in the cave, despite having nowhere near the fighting experience. And just in general, she dives right into all the craziness, and is constantly taking the initiative: burning the rum and foliage to create a signal; slipping her bonds on the Black Pearl to rush forward and… I guess try to save Will from the sinking Interceptor?? (not actually sure what she was trying to do, but she clearly thought it was important) (oh, and when the Interceptor blows up she's so livid that she immediately tries to attack Barbossa; I love her); sneaking off the Dauntless to save herself from the ambush and Will from the cave; boarding the Black Pearl to rally everyone to help her save Will; rowing to the cave _by herself_ when they refuse; etc. She doesn't walk through this movie assuming that she can afford to wait for things to happen or for other people to do things. If she knows something needs doing and sees no one else doing it, she just gets up and does it herself, and never mind how difficult or scary or risky it is. And this is all so impressive because it's not like anybody prepared or groomed her for this kind of life - quite the opposite in fact, she's the most sheltered of all the main characters aside from maybe her father. This is just _how she naturally is._ She's made out of nothing but guts and pluck.
I remember there being very little faith in the media that this film would succeed at the box office. First of all, it was based on a fairground ride (unheard of), secondly it was a pirate film - they hadn't had a lot of success in recent decades. Memories of the disastrous Cutthroat Island (1995) still abound, one of the biggest flops in history at the time. If I had to pick one aspect that saved this from a similar fate, it would be the performance of Johnny Depp. When he started doing what was essentially a Keith Richards impression, even the directors thought he was joking. He convinced them to trust him and the rest is history. By the way Keith Richards features in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
To be fair, it wasn't only Johnny (although you can't deny how he's bound to this franchise). But the whole cast was absolutely stellar, together with the script. However, I think the most important part is actually the budget. If they hadn't gone all out for the sets, styling and and location picks then it would have ended up like all the other pirate movies before it. It was a really big gamble that payed off.
Everyone thinks that he's drunk but he's a pirate his equilibrium is off, he's a sailor Rum is his staple diet so being drunk isn't a problem but walking on steady land is.
Just to clear up the whole blood thing. Every man that had taken a coin from the chest must give back their blood (In this case the whole crew of the Black Pearl) but since they trapped/drowned Wills father before they knew that they go for the only other option which is Will because he shares his fathers blood. And also the curse only activates if you take a coin directly from the chest.
This movie was such a pleasant surprise when it came out. There are so many gags in this from the ride; the dog with the jail keys, the guy sleeping with the pigs, most of the Tortuga scenes.
I am so eager to watch you enjoy the rest of this series. Pirate films used to be next to impossible for Hollywood to do properly. It was a death sentence for any Director that tried to take one on. Because they are massively expensive to make and they just don’t turn a profit. After this movie, that completely turned around. It’s one of the best cinematic experiences. It’s held up well.
Oscar, thank you so much for sharing your wholesome reactions. They’re providing a desperately needed light at the edge of the darkness I’m currently experiencing. Bless you!
I remember an interview with Hanz Zimmer, saying how some of his fellow composers basically told him that doing a "pirate movie" wasn't a good career choice...
Klaus Badelt actually composed the music for the first POTC movie! I did a little searching to make sure, and while Hans Zimmer was the music producer for the first movie, and composed the music for movies 2-4, he's not credited as the composer for movie 1. The more you knoooow! 🌈🌟
@@Golden_FluteIt doesn't matter that he wasn't credited. He at least co-wrote most of the iconic themes. There is a whole wikipedia article just about the soundtrack of the first movie.
One detail i really like in this movie, is when that one guy tells Norrington that Jack and Will disabled the rudder chain, they did it with the lobster trap Will's foot went thru. They show the Dauntless' stern for a moment when they climb up, and you can see they stuck and wrapped the lobster trap around the rudder chain XD
Like most people I can't imagine any other actor playing Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp was awesome. I'm a long time fan of a lot of his films and this was no exception.
This movie blew me away when I saw it in theaters as a teen! I went back to see it in theaters six times because I couldn't get enough. Every time I hear the music, I just can't help but nod along.
I just started this series the other day and I absolutely LOVE Johnny Depp’s performance in all of these movies. He truly does embody Captain Sparrow perfectly and I don’t think anybody could play that character as well as he did! I loved your reactions to Harry Potter; I’m excited to see what you think about this franchise! Take care, Oscar! :D
We just disembarked from a Disney cruise Monday and they literally had a pirate night and it made me want to rewatch this series, it’s so good. Happy to go on this journey with you 😊
The pirates trilogy was really just a beautiful bit of random that just working perfectly. A movie made about a ride in a theme park could of been a real miss. But no we get wonderful characters, a great plot, and a lovely bit of intrigued as we learn everyones motivations and who knows what as well as more about this curse. Jack playing his cards perfectly in every situation. Such a great movie and the other two fail to disappoint.
Love this franchise and Johnny Depp was destined to be Captain Jack 🤩 you should put it’s your first time watching in the title! I bet you’ll get a lot of hits on this franchise
The bit i only realized after watching this series a few times (and wouldn't have said if you hadn't seen the others yet) when they tossed Bootstrap overboard, he was cursed. That’s why Will's blood was needed. So he wasn't going to die down there, just horribly suffer. THAT's why he accepted Davy Jones's offer!!
Wonderful reaction! I am glad to see how much you enjoyed watching this movie! Oh, and by the way, someone should have mentioned to you about the extra scenes at the end of the credits for each movie! Those are a must see! Excellent cast: Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa is perfect! Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swan, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner and of course you know who Captain Jack Sparrow is played by. This movie was inspired by the water ride at Disneyland with the same name of the movie. For the water ride and this movie only, the pronunciation is “care-a-BE-an”. and many of us who have been in that water ride at Disneyland, we have seen some of the scenes from that ride in this movie! I love the musical score in this movie franchise! I enjoyed your reaction to this movie! ☮ and 💕
Something I love about this film is the way it shows how information and figures of speech gets passed around by word of mouth between people where an individual has no idea where that comes from but repeats it anyway
Nice! Originally Steven Spielberg was going to direct the project, as a lot of actors were considered for Jack Sparrow: Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, Michael Keaton, Michael Douglas, Robert DeNiro, Matthew McConaughey, Jim Carrey, Bill Murray, and Steve Martin were considered for the role, but they all turned it down. Spielberg was too busy working on Catch Me If You Can and Minority Report, respectively.
So glad you're watching these. This movie is honestly one of the most perfect films I've seen. Every moment, every scene, fits so well together. The next two movies are not quite at this level of quality, and the two after that are really lacking, but they can still be fun.
It brings me such joy to see you read acting to the first time seeing this movie because it reminds me of the first time I thought also. I was in tranced. I even went back to see it a second time which I hadn't done that for years. Then when it played at a second run theater I went back and saw it a third time! Each time I picked up on things I had missed in the other viewings. Even when I bought the video. I watched the extra features so many times I had the memorized and I used it to have conversations with my grandson about all the little ins and outs of this and Lord of the rings. I was the cool grandmother who knew all about these movies, lol. I still love it and enjoyed watching the bits of it shown in your video. This is the second reaction video I've watched of yours, the first being Train to Busan. Keep up the good work!
As much as enjoyed that first swordfight, and the coreography and cartoonish nature of these films....you are going to LOVE this series. I especially can't wait for the next one.
@cocoa couch He is so funny!! I love Johnny Depp!! Couldn’t imagine anyone else playing captain jack sparrow! They filmed the last movie at the Gold Coast and I am from Brisbane so that is pretty close. What an awesome movie.
Wow I’m so excited you’re starting Pirates, it’s sooo underrated. Although watch it as a trilogy, I wouldn’t watch the 4th and 5th they had a different director and it just didn’t work. The trilogy is amazing.
Can't agree with that. The 4th and 5th are definitely worth watching, although for different reasons. On Stranger Tides is just a silly little side quest and in my opinion Dead Men Tell No Tales is a good ending. Sure, they're not as phenomenal as the trilogy but they aren't awful. I quite enjoy rewatching them and if you're not so obsessed with comparing them to the predecessors then you can just have fun.
@@ot7biasedmashupsI understand watching the 4th one can be fun cause it’s stays true to the character’s motivations, and ultimately wraps up Jacks arc by the end, but the 5th one completely changes all the characters we love. Jack is not Jack in Dead man tell no tales, and at least to me, the reason I love the Pirates movies is because it has complex meaningful characters that are constantly making decisions based on their inter motivations, and to see our favorite character become a useless drunk idiot in the 5th movie, puts a sour taste in my mouth. I could go on explaining how the 5th additionally breaks Canon and key lore if you’re interested.
@@ot7biasedmashupsbut of course if one enjoys the movies and isn’t otherwise bothered by these issues, than I would say of course watch them if you enjoy them. This is just my personal take.
The Pirates of the Caribbean water ride, which is the "inspiration" for the motion picture series, was the last major ride attraction added to Disneyland that was personally conceived of and designed by Walt Disney himself and the " place name" is pronounced "kareh- BEE-un" because THAT'S how Walt Disney pronounced it. The ride officially opened to the public on March 18th 1967 however its creator did not get to witness the opening as he had passed away the previous December from cancer. The ride was developed and built by Arrow Development who had developed the first "log flume" type amusement park ride in 1963 for installation at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington Texas which Walt Disney personally visited while the ride was being tested in the Six Flags PARKING LOT prior to its permanent installation inside the Spain section of the theme park under the name El Aserradero (The Sawmill)
This movies are so much fun, I know you’ll have such a good time with them! Can’t wait for you to check more and more franchises, Hunger Games, How to train you dragon… so exited for it all!
This movie was the first time I really saw Johnny Depp's amazing versatility as an actor. If you want to see a really extreme Depp performance, watch 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' It's based on a book so insane I was sure the only way to make it into a movie was to animate it. But Depp gives the performance that carries the gonzo energy and makes the live-action believable.
The guy who plays Elizabeth’s father is the main character in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil.” I highly recommend watching that movie, it’s an incredible dystopian future story akin to 1984.
It's been so long since I've seen this movie, and my god I had no idea how ingrained that "But why is the rum gone" meme song was in my brain. So many lines in this movie would constantly trigger that song in my head.
It's crazy that this was originally based off a Disney ride and Depp's character became so incredibly iconic and beloved when Disney originally had a completely different vision of the character. Really shows Disney can produce some amazing original movies as long as they actually trust the creatives to do their thing and invest in all the details rather than cutting corners and using generic plot formulas just to make a quick buck
when this came out on DVD there was a whole second disc of featurettes about the locations, shipbuilding, characters, costumes, makeup, cgi for the skeleton pirates... and about how it was so expensive and silly that they were all sure it'd flop!
Love the pirates of the Caribbean movies love Johnny Depp. Love you and your videos. I remember watching the last one with my family in cinema because it was a suprise on my birthday.
And about his voice he's made it by himself too I Adore him so much and he's my favorite celebrity and one and only personal celebrity crush is Johnny Depp he's my celebrity crush when I was younger till now I'm obsessed with his movies ❤
I was a kid when this came out and for some reason all I wanted for Christmas was the DVD of this movie. I had dreams about getting up and seeing this movie in my stocking. I ended up getting it and I watched it probably 500 times. Never saw any of the other movies though. lol.
This is such a great film. The other movies in the series are fun to watch but, in my opinion, this is definitely the best one. I'm not usually into the Disney habit of mixing humor into serious moments but I'd say this is one of the few films where it was done well. Captain Jack is my favorite character but I also really love Commodore Norrington. He is often misunderstood by the audience so I'm glad you didn't spend the whole movie bashing him like some folks do. Great reaction, as always!
😆 it works since there isn’t much air you’re holding down. You’d need about a tonne of weight to keep the boat from being pulled to the surface since air is lighter than water. It’s fine it’s just make-believe tho 😂
Great reaction to such an iconic film! I know people will try to dissuade you to react to the 4th and 5th films. While they may not be more iconic, they do have their moments and are worth the watch to conclude the series on the two icons, Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbossa. Also if you wish, there is a short POTC film called Wedlocked which reveals the reasons why Captain Jack Sparrow got slapped by Scarlett and Giselle and why Cotton got silenced. Other pirate films I highly recommend for you to check out are: Cutthroat Island, Treasure Planet, Muppets Treasure Island, Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island (2012), Hook, Peter Pan (Disney’s and 2003 film), and Dreamwork’s Sinbad. 🏴☠️⚔️☠️🪙🩸🐶🗝️💛🤎🧡🖤❤️
Johnny Depp was spectacular as Captain Jack Sparrow. Also, let me give you some advice: if you are planning to see all the films from "POTC", make sure to stay after the credits, because there are hidden scenes. I wish you the best day.
Funny you said that you felt as if you were watching a Looney Tunes cartoon, JD had said the he loosely based Captain Jack on a sort of cross between Pepe Le Phew and Keith Richards! That said, you are going to have so much fun with these films - just remember to hide the rum.
If you had ever gone to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, you would recognize several scenes from the ride were put directly in the movie - like the prisoners trying to entice the dog to bring the keys over, and the prostitutes and pirates on Tortuga carousing. The movie was so much fun when I first watched it. I remember this movie so fondly, as my mother loved Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow.
Fact about Johnny Depp: Johnny Depp creates captain jack Sparrow by himself and he made it an iconic character all these years and he's an amazing actor and he creates all the characters that we love and I love him so much and respect him very much 😍😍😍
Good for you. You'll enjoy watching the rest of the PotC series. Don't forget to watch the end credits by the way. About the curse... would you prefer immorality at the cost of your taste, smell, touch?
You catch SOO many things in movies. You are becoming my favorite reactor because you say and notice things that really add to my enjoyment

First time I've ever seen someone recognize the Aztec design. That is SUCH a small detail that even if people notice, they usually don't mention it. So cool.
"Whose side is Jack on?" "At the moment ...?" is perhaps the essence of PotC.
Jack is usually on his own side.
@@blackwhiteartistry733 True, though he leans more towards Will and Elizabeth's side than the villains (more or less).
"Is this the Jack Sparrow."
Fans: CAPTAIN!!
Every time Elisabeth says “he’s a pirate” I always picture her father saying hang him😂
Lmaooo
😂 we have the same kind of humor.
in that little sing-song voice too XD
Then Will says "finally" and holds Elizabeth hostage.
Hahahaha
One of my all time favorite captain Jack witticisms is "the problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem." I think of that so often when someone's (including my) negativity is getting in the way of finding solutions.
Jack may be into Zen buddhism lol
Fun fact: Orlando Bloom got this role almost immediately after his first big role as Legolas in Lord of The Rings
Two big banger series' in a row
Another fun fact, that is probably true: Orlando Bloom started speaking elvish randomly in the underwater boat air pocket scene
Not to mention the hilarity of Legolas being drawn to the sea in the books.
In the one scene where they used a longboat to travel underwater, the oxigen deprivation of the small space caused him to get so confused he started speaking elvish

This movie was such a pleasant surprise when it came out. There are so many gags in this from the ride; the dog with the jail keys, the guy sleeping with the pigs, most of the Tortuga scenes.
If I remember correctly, Johnny Depp said he based Jack on Keith Richards and Wiley Coyote, so you were right on point about cartoon like segments.
I am so eager to watch you enjoy the rest of this series.
Pirate films used to be next to impossible for Hollywood to do properly. It was a death sentence for any Director that tried to take one on. Because they are massively expensive to make and they just don’t turn a profit.
After this movie, that completely turned around.
It’s one of the best cinematic experiences. It’s held up well.
I've always had a crush on Captain Jack Sparrow, even today when I see someone dressed up and talking like him, such as actors at a fair, I blush 🤭❤❤❤
I met my husband at a costume party. He was dressed as Jack Sparrow!
Oscar, thank you so much for sharing your wholesome reactions. They’re providing a desperately needed light at the edge of the darkness I’m currently experiencing. Bless you!
It’s a pleasure! Hope things turn around ☺️
I remember an interview with Hanz Zimmer, saying how some of his fellow composers basically told him that doing a "pirate movie" wasn't a good career choice...
Klaus Badelt actually composed the music for the first POTC movie! I did a little searching to make sure, and while Hans Zimmer was the music producer for the first movie, and composed the music for movies 2-4, he's not credited as the composer for movie 1. The more you knoooow! 🌈🌟
@@Golden_Flute Oh! And he really made it sound like it was him composing it... Ze German lied!! 😳
@@mickesmanymovies Hahaha! To be fair, he did do an INCREDIBLE job with movies 2-4!
@@Golden_FluteIt doesn't matter that he wasn't credited. He at least co-wrote most of the iconic themes. There is a whole wikipedia article just about the soundtrack of the first movie.
One detail i really like in this movie, is when that one guy tells Norrington that Jack and Will disabled the rudder chain, they did it with the lobster trap Will's foot went thru. They show the Dauntless' stern for a moment when they climb up, and you can see they stuck and wrapped the lobster trap around the rudder chain XD
😯
Yayayay so happy for this!!! Captain Jack Sparrow supremacy!!
I love your expressions in all your reactions Oscar! Makes the videos more enjoyable to see how much you’re enjoying them.
Like most people I can't imagine any other actor playing Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp was awesome. I'm a long time fan of a lot of his films and this was no exception.
This movie blew me away when I saw it in theaters as a teen! I went back to see it in theaters six times because I couldn't get enough. Every time I hear the music, I just can't help but nod along.
"Babe WAKE UP, THE COCOA COUCH POSTED 😍"
Excited to dive into another fun franchise with you 🤗
18:31 - that's one of my favorite lines in the movie. Bravery and madness do often coincide with each other
Let's go! This was ANOTHER childhood favorite! LOVE your reactions keep it up!
I just started this series the other day and I absolutely LOVE Johnny Depp’s performance in all of these movies. He truly does embody Captain Sparrow perfectly and I don’t think anybody could play that character as well as he did!
I loved your reactions to Harry Potter; I’m excited to see what you think about this franchise! Take care, Oscar! :D
1:16 Kinda funny Gibbs ended up becoming a pirate himself. I mean, he wasn't the only one, but we don't see how or why with him.
He was already drinking during that first scene. He was probably thrown out of the Navy for alcoholism.
We just disembarked from a Disney cruise Monday and they literally had a pirate night and it made me want to rewatch this series, it’s so good. Happy to go on this journey with you 😊
The pirates trilogy was really just a beautiful bit of random that just working perfectly. A movie made about a ride in a theme park could of been a real miss.
But no we get wonderful characters, a great plot, and a lovely bit of intrigued as we learn everyones motivations and who knows what as well as more about this curse. Jack playing his cards perfectly in every situation. Such a great movie and the other two fail to disappoint.
Love this franchise and Johnny Depp was destined to be Captain Jack 🤩 you should put it’s your first time watching in the title! I bet you’ll get a lot of hits on this franchise
Can't believe that i have only nust noticed that Gibbs is at the start of the movie.
And already showing signs of alcoholism.
How wonderful Oscar, you started to react to my favorite film franchise, incredible!😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So fun! i got so excited when i saw that this was your next pick! You are such a sweetheart, and you definitely always see the movie's next move
The bit i only realized after watching this series a few times (and wouldn't have said if you hadn't seen the others yet) when they tossed Bootstrap overboard, he was cursed. That’s why Will's blood was needed. So he wasn't going to die down there, just horribly suffer. THAT's why he accepted Davy Jones's offer!!
I just realised that too! He would have been cursed undead on the sea floor this whole time until they broke the curse!
“You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner… you’re in one.” Chills every single time
24:02 this never gets old. Such a good line
So glad to see how much fun you had.
Wonderful reaction! I am glad to see how much you enjoyed watching this movie! Oh, and by the way, someone should have mentioned to you about the extra scenes at the end of the credits for each movie! Those are a must see! Excellent cast: Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa is perfect! Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swan, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner and of course you know who Captain Jack Sparrow is played by. This movie was inspired by the water ride at Disneyland with the same name of the movie. For the water ride and this movie only, the pronunciation is “care-a-BE-an”. and many of us who have been in that water ride at Disneyland, we have seen some of the scenes from that ride in this movie! I love the musical score in this movie franchise! I enjoyed your reaction to this movie! ☮ and 💕
Something I love about this film is the way it shows how information and figures of speech gets passed around by word of mouth between people where an individual has no idea where that comes from but repeats it anyway
Nice!
Originally Steven Spielberg was going to direct the project, as a lot of actors were considered for Jack Sparrow:
Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, Michael Keaton, Michael Douglas, Robert DeNiro, Matthew McConaughey, Jim Carrey, Bill Murray, and Steve Martin were considered for the role, but they all turned it down.
Spielberg was too busy working on Catch Me If You Can and Minority Report, respectively.
Interesting, I did not know that
So glad you're watching these. This movie is honestly one of the most perfect films I've seen. Every moment, every scene, fits so well together. The next two movies are not quite at this level of quality, and the two after that are really lacking, but they can still be fun.
Fun fact: At 36:48, the knife that Barbosa is holding was made by my current boss. I was honestly dumbfounded when I found this out myself.
I was impressed when you said that it looks like aztec gold, which it is 😄👍🏻
So stinking happy right now!! Next best trilogy to how to train your dragon lol! ❤
He caught on to the moonlight but not the "mutineer" call out.
It brings me such joy to see you read acting to the first time seeing this movie because it reminds me of the first time I thought also. I was in tranced. I even went back to see it a second time which I hadn't done that for years. Then when it played at a second run theater I went back and saw it a third time! Each time I picked up on things I had missed in the other viewings. Even when I bought the video. I watched the extra features so many times I had the memorized and I used it to have conversations with my grandson about all the little ins and outs of this and Lord of the rings. I was the cool grandmother who knew all about these movies, lol. I still love it and enjoyed watching the bits of it shown in your video. This is the second reaction video I've watched of yours, the first being Train to Busan. Keep up the good work!
As much as enjoyed that first swordfight, and the coreography and cartoonish nature of these films....you are going to LOVE this series. I especially can't wait for the next one.
i loved this movie so much i saw it twice in theaters back to back and ill always remember the release date
18:32 Jack Sparrow just casually breaking the laws of physics.😭😭😭
It’s so much fun watching you see all these great movies for the first time.
Oscar you will be very surprised by Will Turner hahah😮😮😮
I haven’t seen this movie in years and I can STILL quote Murtog and Mulroy’s argument about the Pearl WORD FOR WORD
@cocoa couch He is so funny!! I love Johnny Depp!! Couldn’t imagine anyone else playing captain jack sparrow! They filmed the last movie at the Gold Coast and I am from Brisbane so that is pretty close. What an awesome movie.
Wow I’m so excited you’re starting Pirates, it’s sooo underrated. Although watch it as a trilogy, I wouldn’t watch the 4th and 5th they had a different director and it just didn’t work. The trilogy is amazing.
Can't agree with that. The 4th and 5th are definitely worth watching, although for different reasons. On Stranger Tides is just a silly little side quest and in my opinion Dead Men Tell No Tales is a good ending. Sure, they're not as phenomenal as the trilogy but they aren't awful. I quite enjoy rewatching them and if you're not so obsessed with comparing them to the predecessors then you can just have fun.
@@ot7biasedmashupsI understand watching the 4th one can be fun cause it’s stays true to the character’s motivations, and ultimately wraps up Jacks arc by the end, but the 5th one completely changes all the characters we love. Jack is not Jack in Dead man tell no tales, and at least to me, the reason I love the Pirates movies is because it has complex meaningful characters that are constantly making decisions based on their inter motivations, and to see our favorite character become a useless drunk idiot in the 5th movie, puts a sour taste in my mouth. I could go on explaining how the 5th additionally breaks Canon and key lore if you’re interested.
@@ot7biasedmashupsbut of course if one enjoys the movies and isn’t otherwise bothered by these issues, than I would say of course watch them if you enjoy them. This is just my personal take.
Yep, it's a trilogy for me
The Pirates of the Caribbean water ride, which is the "inspiration" for the motion picture series, was the last major ride attraction added to Disneyland that was personally conceived of and designed by Walt Disney himself and the " place name" is pronounced "kareh- BEE-un" because THAT'S how Walt Disney pronounced it. The ride officially opened to the public on March 18th 1967 however its creator did not get to witness the opening as he had passed away the previous December from cancer. The ride was developed and built by Arrow Development who had developed the first "log flume" type amusement park ride in 1963 for installation at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington Texas which Walt Disney personally visited while the ride was being tested in the Six Flags PARKING LOT prior to its permanent installation inside the Spain section of the theme park under the name El Aserradero (The Sawmill)
This movies are so much fun, I know you’ll have such a good time with them! Can’t wait for you to check more and more franchises, Hunger Games, How to train you dragon… so exited for it all!
I thought he already did How to Train Your Dragon
@@blackwhiteartistry733 he did?? Omg am I missing out on it??
@@blackwhiteartistry733 found it! Thanks, gonna watch it rn
This movie was the first time I really saw Johnny Depp's amazing versatility as an actor. If you want to see a really extreme Depp performance, watch 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' It's based on a book so insane I was sure the only way to make it into a movie was to animate it. But Depp gives the performance that carries the gonzo energy and makes the live-action believable.
The guy who plays Elizabeth’s father is the main character in Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil.” I highly recommend watching that movie, it’s an incredible dystopian future story akin to 1984.
It's been so long since I've seen this movie, and my god I had no idea how ingrained that "But why is the rum gone" meme song was in my brain. So many lines in this movie would constantly trigger that song in my head.
The next movie I'm going to have "I've got a jar of dirt" stuck in my head.
Oscar, I'm having a blast binge watching your movie reactions.
Much love, from Minnesota💜
I think the pulse of the medallion Elizabeth was wearing underwater was calling the people who were cursed by the treasure it came from.
Love your reactions!!
This was a movie I saw over 20 times in the theater when it first came out, I loved it so much. Still a great movie!
It's crazy that this was originally based off a Disney ride and Depp's character became so incredibly iconic and beloved when Disney originally had a completely different vision of the character. Really shows Disney can produce some amazing original movies as long as they actually trust the creatives to do their thing and invest in all the details rather than cutting corners and using generic plot formulas just to make a quick buck
when this came out on DVD there was a whole second disc of featurettes about the locations, shipbuilding, characters, costumes, makeup, cgi for the skeleton pirates... and about how it was so expensive and silly that they were all sure it'd flop!
Love the pirates of the Caribbean movies love Johnny Depp.
Love you and your videos.
I remember watching the last one with my family in cinema because it was a suprise on my birthday.
These movies are awesome
I had the same exact reaction you did when they started ringing the bell on the ship during the fight.😂
The genuine surprise when they hear the bell *WHILE YOU HEAR THE LOUDEST GUNSHOTS* 😆😆
@thecocoacouch I know, right? Maybe they thought all the gunfire they were hearing before the Bell was just in their heads.🤣
And about his voice he's made it by himself too I Adore him so much and he's my favorite celebrity and one and only personal celebrity crush is Johnny Depp he's my celebrity crush when I was younger till now I'm obsessed with his movies ❤
The reason this series works so well, is every character is awesome. I love Barbossa. ❤
I was a kid when this came out and for some reason all I wanted for Christmas was the DVD of this movie. I had dreams about getting up and seeing this movie in my stocking. I ended up getting it and I watched it probably 500 times. Never saw any of the other movies though. lol.
This is such a great film. The other movies in the series are fun to watch but, in my opinion, this is definitely the best one. I'm not usually into the Disney habit of mixing humor into serious moments but I'd say this is one of the few films where it was done well. Captain Jack is my favorite character but I also really love Commodore Norrington. He is often misunderstood by the audience so I'm glad you didn't spend the whole movie bashing him like some folks do. Great reaction, as always!
The boat trick is real. I sed to do that with a bucket on my head as a child when in the swimming pool... give it a try 🤣
😆 it works since there isn’t much air you’re holding down. You’d need about a tonne of weight to keep the boat from being pulled to the surface since air is lighter than water. It’s fine it’s just make-believe tho 😂
Curse of the Black Pearl is genuinely a masterpiece 🙌🏻
If you enjoy a good swashbuckle, may I suggest The Man In The Iron Mask and The Three Musketeers (1996?)
The theme music always hyped me all the way up
Great reaction to such an iconic film! I know people will try to dissuade you to react to the 4th and 5th films. While they may not be more iconic, they do have their moments and are worth the watch to conclude the series on the two icons, Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Hector Barbossa. Also if you wish, there is a short POTC film called Wedlocked which reveals the reasons why Captain Jack Sparrow got slapped by Scarlett and Giselle and why Cotton got silenced. Other pirate films I highly recommend for you to check out are: Cutthroat Island, Treasure Planet, Muppets Treasure Island, Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island (2012), Hook, Peter Pan (Disney’s and 2003 film), and Dreamwork’s Sinbad.
🏴☠️⚔️☠️🪙🩸🐶🗝️💛🤎🧡🖤❤️
Keep up the great work can’t wait for the rest of the series
Johnny Depp was spectacular as Captain Jack Sparrow. Also, let me give you some advice: if you are planning to see all the films from "POTC", make sure to stay after the credits, because there are hidden scenes.
I wish you the best day.
The original greatness. Accept no substitute.
this movie/serie is such a gem.
First time I saw this movie it was when it came out in the theater. I was 12-13 great movie.
Funny you said that you felt as if you were watching a Looney Tunes cartoon, JD had said the he loosely based Captain Jack on a sort of cross between Pepe Le Phew and Keith Richards! That said, you are going to have so much fun with these films - just remember to hide the rum.
As iconic as it gets. Love it 😀
Every pirates carib movie has extra ending before credits
If you had ever gone to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, you would recognize several scenes from the ride were put directly in the movie - like the prisoners trying to entice the dog to bring the keys over, and the prostitutes and pirates on Tortuga carousing. The movie was so much fun when I first watched it. I remember this movie so fondly, as my mother loved Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow.
If it seems looney, keep in mind that the story was based on a looney ride at Disney World of the same name. It's a fun ride.
Fact about Johnny Depp: Johnny Depp creates captain jack Sparrow by himself and he made it an iconic character all these years and he's an amazing actor and he creates all the characters that we love and I love him so much and respect him very much 😍😍😍
I think you may have figured out by the end of the movie that the blacksmith was not Will's dad.😂
I imagine Will was just the blacksmiths apprentice.
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies have end credit scenes fyi
Oh btw there’s a post credits scene
Good for you. You'll enjoy watching the rest of the PotC series.
Don't forget to watch the end credits by the way.
About the curse... would you prefer immorality at the cost of your taste, smell, touch?
Best film about a theme park ride EVER!!
I hope you'll check out the 2nd one.. It's my personal fave of the series
