      Michael Eisner almost killed this film. If you watch Defunctland's episode on Michael Eisner (forgot what the video was called), Eisner was so against this film and Johnny Depp's character but the producers did not back down and stood their ground to finish making this masterpiece of a film.

    The true story behind the Pirates score is amazing. At first, Alan Silvestri was hired by the director Gore Verbinski but Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to go in a different direction (less traditional, more rock n'roll), so Badelt was brought on (one of Zimmer's protégés) and Zimmer wrote the main "he's a pirates" tune. This is all just in the middle of when Zimmer and his team was in production for the The Last Samurai and Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men scores. They had only a few weeks to do the score before the movie had to be delivered, so there were lots of composers brought on to do heavily lifting. Anyone who worked on the music team for the Pirates movies always talk about how insane they were. I know for Pirates 3, there were like 8-10 different composers writing music for it, aside from Zimmer, and Bruckheimer is super involved in the music too. Iconic scores though, 100%.

    • @15Candles
      @15Candles 10 місяців тому +22

      Apparently for the first movie, Zimmer hired composers such as Ramin Djawadi, James Dooley, Nick Glennie-Smith, Steve Jablonsky, Blake Neely, James McKee Smith, and Geoff Zanelli to worked with him on the score because of the tight schedule he has

      @spencercreaghan6579 10 місяців тому +11

      All of this is true! HZ couldn’t do the film bc he was contractually bound to the Last Samurai at the time. When Bruckheimer came calling with the SOS, Zimmer write a theme suite in one night and his team fleshed it out throughout the film. Everyone did handful of cues and I believe Klaus got the credit because in the he did more cues than the others. The majority of the music is based on Hans’s suite so one could argue the music is still by Hans Zimmer, wotu arrangements by the Remote Control productions team :) Great score regardless!

    • @seanwilson4350

      Alan Silvestri was reputedly kicked off the score because Jerry Bruckheimer disliked the 'traditional' tone that favoured organic instruments like woodwinds. Bruckheimer also favoured Zimmer because of their past relationship. I would have loved to have heard Silvestri's work on this series (although he later came good with the Marvel movies).

      @@seanwilson4350Apparently Silvestri never got past 1M1 (the first scene in the film). Silvestri had worked with Verbinski on his last movie and I think Bruckheimer, who's obviously a huge force, wanted to go in a different direction especially because of his long-running relationship with Hans. Lots of business drama but of course turned out great.

    For me, the writing is so mind-blowing. I was obsessed with POTC when I was a teen (I can't count how many times I watched it). I watched it recently, and I still caught new jokes and story/plot points. Every single word and conversation is purposeful and important to push the plot and develop the world and the characters.

    I love your words on why it feels so amazing to see certain movies in theatres. When they re-released Return of the Jedi to theatres, I was so excited and bought tickets right away, only to have so many people tell me "what a waste of money" or "I would much rather watch that in my own home." If you want to watch a movie at home, that's totally fine, but there's something just so incredible about seeing one of your favourite films in the theatre that I feel only big movie fans really understand.

    Back when I worked at Blockbuster, we normally always had to play the company advertisements on the TVs. But in the evenings, when everything slowed down, I would always resort to putting on 2 films to entertain customers. One was Aladdin, and the other was Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. It never EVER gets old, boring, or overplayed.

I appreciate you giving some insight into your past and why you weren't able to see this in theaters years back when it was first in theaters. Your breakdowns are always on point. When I saw the length of this video, I was already pretty psyched because I knew you'd go into a lot more detail than you typically would. It's awesome to see someone talk about a film-or whatever it is they are passionate about. I have A-List, so now I'm thinking of watching this in theaters for the first time as well. Great video and review!

    Gosh I thought I you had accidentally uploaded an old review by accident. Such a classic. I went and saw this with my sister at the cinemas the first time way back when it came out. We both loved it so much we took the whole family the next day and it has been a family fave ever since. That opening scene with Jack Sparrow riding the sinking ship, it was just amazing. Who knew at the time that it was a metaphor for the future of the series. The original still holds true though and Its in my collection :)
    To recommend some older pirate movies just cause. The Crimson Pirate, The Flame and the Arrow (both Burt Lancaster) and Captain Blood (Errol Flynn). I think there are nods to all of these classics in The Black Pearl. Especially The Crimson Pirate.

    I was 12 during the summer of 2003. Spent all summer with my best friend going on wild adventures, and randomly went to the theater one day with him and his dad and saw this film. No idea what it was or who was in it. I was absolutely blown away by it. The moment the Interceptor and the Black Pearl began battling, I fell in love with the theater. This film changed everything for me.
    Also, about the score, you can hear faint relative notes of the hook in The Rock (1996) in which Hans Zimmer composed. You can hear it as Mason is escaping the hotel.

    I was 14 and my brother bought tickets and took me to see it at an AMC cinema. Had no idea what to expect, didn’t even realize it was based on a Disney ride until after seeing it. But when we walked out we sang and hummed the score in the car all the way home. We became obsessed with the movie and Johnny Depp. Later I bought it on DVD and made my parents watch it. It became my dads favorite movie. This began the tradition of a family movie day out for every Pirates movie after that.
