Character Evaluation
Just like every legend about pirates will have an evil and terrifying captain. The appearance of Geoffrey Rush gave life to those ghostly captains. As a mortal enemy of Captain Jack, Captain Barbossa of Geoffrey Rush has always been an iconic character in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. When dealing with this role, he did not blindly highlight the evil of the role, but deliberately acted. Some dramatic exaggerations have been added to make this character more treacherous and more interesting. This corresponds exactly to the role of Johnny Depp. Let this somewhat dark fantasy theme add more fairy tale temperament. This kind of performance is obviously related to his early theatrical experience. Before he became famous, Geoffrey Rush had been engaged in stage performances in Australia
