Six years later, he is not the captain, but just a little sparrow

To tell the truth, as a fan who has loved Caribbean series for many years, and a fan of Uncle Depp for many years, I was very excited in the cinema. When the familiar BGM sounded, the Black Pearl re-launched, and I burst into tears when Babza left.

But after watching the movie, I regained my senses a bit, and I couldn't help but compare the fifth with the first three, and then I was disappointed.

I feel that the fifth part can't be compared with the first three parts, two bruises, bluntness and characterization.

Let's talk about bluntness first. The captain robbed the bridge section of the bank when he appeared on the scene, and the pirates dragged the entire bank into a rampage, which really meant to force special effects. There is only a small safe in a bank with money, but the pirates have to forcibly drag a bank away, calling it a bank robbery. (I don't know if the blacksmith striking the iron in a flash suggests William)

Henry and Jack met in prison. The scarecrow who appeared for no apparent reason, Jack who didn't wear pants, and the jokes between the two were all deliberate.

Jack, Henry and Karina were chased by Salazar at sea and came to the island. Karina's reaction to seeing the ghost is far from the image of her brave scientist, rushing all the way to the forest, as if she was ready to be caught. After Jack was forced to marry on the island, it was like a joke outside the plot.

In the end, the end of the Avengers Salazar and Barbosa was more like a hasty death. The Avenger Salazar was stabbed to death by Barbosa before he even touched Jack's boots. The revenge throughout the show
came to an abrupt end in a desperate move between two non-enemies...Let’s take a look at the characterization.

First of all, of course, it is Captain Jack who has attracted much attention. He changed from the captain of the first three rock stars to a middle-aged little sparrow. "Plus 5" he seems to be only responsible for trembling and telling stories.

The director seems to want to create a down-and-out captain, but this downfall has directly turned a legendary pirate into a middle-aged sparrow who slapped the mouth and played tricks. The previous captain who was both righteous and evil never returned.

Recalling Captain Jack in the first part below, he was also downcast, but he still left a tall image in the hearts of many viewers. Standing on the sails of a small broken ship, he broke into our sight for the first time. The ship leaked and was almost sinking. He was alone and had no followers. He painted smoky makeup and was dirty all over, not as fierce as a traditional pirate. Seeing him set foot on the land, there was only one word in my mind, full of spirits. He has no crew, not even a boat, but he insists on calling himself the captain.

This dirty pirate made audiences all over the world happy to call him the captain. Even Elizabeth, who once hated pirates, did not forget to emphasize that Jack was a captain in the second part. why. Is the vigor of pirates. Johnny Depp subverted the audience's traditional concept of pirates and gave the audience an atypical pirate. Although this pirate used all means to achieve his goal and was skilled in calculations, he was also a man of chivalry. Although he was in a moment of despair and often at a disadvantage, he was full of confidence and insisted on the Black Pearl and his freedom. He will be hunted down, he will run away, but he will also draw his sword and fight bravely. He pointed out that he was slapped in the face by a prostitute, but he was never really afraid of his opponents, and even made a joke on them. He is cynical and true.

He is the Jack who will jump into the sea decisively to rescue Elizabeth. He is the Jack who will draw his sword to face the Norwegian sea monster alone, and he is the Jack who will face David Jones in the rain.

But in the fifth part, he dropped the sword after making two gestures with the enemy. At the last moment, he watched the enemy who was catching up, but silently handed the sword to Barbossa... Finally, he went on the deck on the black pearl, honestly me. What I saw was the departure of a captain, not the return. He is not even as proud as that young.

You might say that there is always a moment when the light is extinguished. But a captain who pursues freedom, walks between black and white, and is both righteous and evil, even in the old age of the martyrs, he will be very ambitious. Jack in the fifth part is no longer the captain. It's more like a middle-aged man who has been tortured by the years. He slapped his mouth and lost his sword. Looking at him, it was more like being dragged by Henry to find the trident. His desire for black pearls and the ocean seemed hard to detect.

If Jack is an atypical pirate, then his old partner Barbusa is a classic pirate image. This is my favorite villain in the Caribbean series. He is cruel, greedy, uncertain, murderous, and despicable. The "Caribbean" series witnessed the process of Barbusa's transformation from a big boss to a sad father. In the first part, he is the biggest villain, cursed, turned into a skeleton, immortal. Two, three or four, he insists on evil and is full of desire. He is a pirate among pirates.

In the fifth part of Barbsa, the people are set to collapse, starting from the scene where he meets Jack. He got rid of the dead Salazar and came to land, wanting to fight for the trident. But pay attention to his lines, he actually told out his strategy in front of Jack and everyone. How could a sinister pirate be so careless. He became more like Jack's assists rather than opponents, and decisively gave up stealing the trident. Finally, because he was afraid that his daughter would be harmed by Salazar, he received a lunch box as his father and settled Jack's enemy.

This is a sad father, not a pirate who can use wisdom to calculate. When he saw his daughter, he immediately gave birth to a pure-hearted pirate who never returned.

Let's talk about Salazar, the biggest villain in this department. He is a Hamlet-style avenger and an unrespected villain in the series.
The meaning of his existence is revenge. He just wants revenge. He will feel like a conditioned reflex when he hears Jack's name. But in the end, the enemy was on the top of the chain, and he was on the bottom of the chain. He wanted revenge, but the enemy just turned his head back. Salazar should be deadly tragic, he is supposed to be the evenly matched opponent of Captain Jack. But in the end he died under the sword of Barbusa.

Salazar seems to have been made a huge joke. After the baptism of the years, his long-cherished enemy has gone from the old spirited and arrogant young man to a funny bearer. His revenge just started, and he died inexplicably under the sword of others. .

Interestingly, this fearsome Spanish captain was dedicated to eradicating pirates, but his Silent Mary and his crew were more like pirates than pirates. Can not help but kill people, whether it is against pirates or the British navy against pirates. They are brutal, bloody, rude and arrogant. Their eyes are shining with bloodthirsty and desires belonging to pirates. They are rampant on the ocean like pirates.

One can't help but wonder who is the real pirate in the fifth part where pirates are not like pirates.

Throughout the Caribbean series, He is a pirate can always awaken my enthusiasm for pirates. But can remind me, let me understand why these pirates are so obsessed with the uprising song Hoist the colours. It is like Captain Jack, who will be frustrated and will fight, and the "sordid" characters who were not accepted by the Middle Ages are raising their flags high. It is every ordinary person who is obeying the call of the ocean, expelling inner fear, following the strong wind, getting rid of shackles, and chasing freedom. It was a subversion and revolution. I fell in love with the despicable and evil pirates and I was very proud of it. The black sails of the black pearl rose, and I finally missed the era of pirates, but those dirty friends on the screen fulfilled my wish for me, drank alcohol, ate meat in large chunks, and, as the song sang, "never shall We die" The soul of freedom will never die.
