"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl": twisted glory return ■ text / Vulcan discipline
The glory of living is that we have everything we have. as well as. We defend everything we have.
If lost. We will do everything we can to get it back. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
In fact, I don't recognize it as the shy Edward Scissorhand many years ago; Johnny Depp always gives me a pleasant surprise. From the change in styling to styling, this twisty and neurotic pirate has almost swept the world's box office. This man who almost lives by rock and roll may never have foreseen that he would be in front of the world with such an image.
This is a completely commercial film. The production of a large lineup, large investment, overwhelming publicity and dazzling special effects. There is always a sense of exhaustion to write such a movie. When the movie is hot, writing any judging article seems to be difficult to get rid of the child's notoriety, praise or demeanor, ups and downs, and sing others, a scene of great rivers and mountains. I always want to stagger the time difference to write articles. At least at this time, not many people think about this movie, expressing their own perception peacefully and independently. And this kind of film is actually not easy to write, because after being too streamlined and meticulous, the film is almost exquisite but lacks the spirituality it deserves. That feeling is close to the feeling of appreciating a nearly perfect artwork. There are no accidents, everything is in order; there are not many flaws, everything is being calculated. However, this means that everything is within limits. In such a movie, we rarely see the shock of the magical touch. Everything is peaceful. There are occasional accidents, just such accidents, but they are not unexpected.
The streamlined commercial film industry, perhaps, they will follow this rule: everything is within the calculation data, and it runs fixedly in an inherent trajectory. How to shoot each lens, the setup of the camera, the trajectory of the lens and the angle of the lens, etc. A large number of similar movies have been produced in the industrialized streamlined operation. No matter what kind of theme they are telling, or what kind of carrier is used to tell a story, there will always be a sense of uniformity in length.
I once said in an interview that as long as conditions permit, future movies may follow this route. After all, the movies made in this way basically have very few flaws. Everything has been accurately calculated before being made into a movie, and if the audiovisual effects alone are required, this kind of movie can basically meet the requirements. The needs of most movie fans. However, in my opinion, such movies are relatively lacking in spirituality. It seems to be too finely carved with too many artificial traces. Instead, it lacks the feeling of being self-contained. Manual calculation reduces all the flaws that shouldn't exist in the film, but it also limits the filmmakers' due play and the flaws that make the work closer to perfection. Even the perfect artificial shaping may not be as good as the natural supernatural craftsmanship; however, the movie itself is a deliberately finished product after manual work to minimize errors. This may be what every movie has to do.
Lack of imagination may not be the most terrible. What's even more terrifying is that the box office is not appealing enough; for movies, such movies have become classics, and such movies will completely die. Large-scale investments must be returned to the circulation, and the joining of big-name stars requires fame and profit. Complete and exhaustive and accurate calculations are conducive to all operations. The first-class production process and overwhelming publicity can ensure that all this will run on the track they should have. The audiovisual effect does not make the people who buy the tickets feel like a disadvantage, and the movie is already very successful. This movie can be regarded as the best in this type of movie. It is not accidental that the box office sweeping the world. In addition to all the things mentioned above, this movie also shows a rare and almost perfect imagination in a very unimaginative space. In other words, this movie feels novel, no matter the subject matter or the blueprint of the story is quite interesting, plus all the previous ones, give this movie the capital to sweep the global box office. This is a very complete and dedicated commercial film. It sells well again, gaining both fame and fortune. It has at least completed everything that should be done by it.
I remember that the first time I watched this movie, I was at work. I used the unit’s P4 processor to break through the technical department’s blockade of the LAN and connected to the Internet. This may be the first time I have enjoyed the results of playing movies at home for N years, and the most direct manifestation of this achievement is: I can watch movies with my beautiful colleagues while driving on the computer at work. . At that time, I watched a lot of movies, "The Curse", "Midnight Bell", "Unparalleled Under Heaven" and this "Pirates of the Caribbean" seem to be in this list. The picture quality and sound effects are average. But in any case, that seems to be the only bright spot in the endless peace of work life. Before writing this movie, I had to dig out the DVD version of this movie and watch it again, because it is absolutely a kind of vain disrespect to the movie itself to talk about a movie with very poor audio and video quality after a few years. What the gun version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" can leave to me may be the desire to revive it after many years. There are few vague memories left.
Many people may have heard the story of this movie. The most moral is about the possession and profligacy of wealth and the curse of evil. Plundering wealth and squandering the wealth acquired by holding one's own life and blood and sweat may not be unpromising for us as long as the means are right; but for the pirates, this is their bounden duty. Robbery and murder, such acts are actually the fundamental way for them to survive.
No one will argue with anyone about the correctness of the pirates' lifestyle. Because no one cares, and no one has time to argue about such issues. We live in a peaceful era. Except for the forty famous children of Alibaba and the Caribbean Sea Shaan in the movie, the so-called pirates have almost forgotten the existence of this thing. The vicious curse that the original owner of wealth placed on his wealth may only be to protect his property and his own interests. Even if behind him. This seemingly grand curse is people's desire for possession of wealth that will never die for thousands of years and never let go.
Even if he is dead, he still uses an evil curse to protect everything that should belong to him. This desire may be far more evil than its own evil curse. Because of possession, all possession; because of enjoyment, all after a thousand years of death, they still refuse to let go. All of this can only belong to me. Regardless of the desire for profit, or the strong desire to possess; all, all, will continue after thousands of years. A terrible desire made all this possible. Has become a reality. The people who get the treasure will be cursed; the squandered wealth must be retrieved for me again; the blood debt is paid for by the blood. In this way, I will forgive you so that you can break my curse on you and regain the meaning of life. No one can squander whatever he wants, what he finds and take it as his own wealth. Because even if the true owner of wealth is dead, he still refuses to give up possession of all these things that belonged to him before he was alive.
Behind this desire is the undead desire of big capitalism for profit and permanent possession. At the end of the movie, all the cursed gold coins were returned. The blood that was marked must flow on these gold coins to calm the anger of the original owner, and the prophecy of blood debt and blood repayment was finally revealed. The true meaning of this political metaphor is that the glory of the inviolable dignity will have to pay a heavy price once it is violated. The so-called manifestation is actually the kind of unique and domineering robber thought. The lost glory will be returned. There is basically no so-called equality and fairness in this almost savage law. What the dead old master always possesses is the desire to look down upon everything from above. Jack's so-called freedom is never to violate his glory. And Captain Jack's own freedom seemed trivial. Because freedom is always restricted, such incomplete freedom is meaningless. The treasure he has worked so hard to find, but he will never get involved. As a pirate, he actually seems quite helpless. So the film compensated him in another aspect to cover up this cruel reality and the so-called freedom of the film itself, which seems to be lenient but false. After the crew defected, Jack was left alone on a desert island, but he survived the hardships and finally regained his Black Pearl. The rebellious members were cursed and couldn't survive, but they were all captured after the curse was lifted. On the contrary, Jack, who was banished, finally got everything that belonged to him: glory and freedom. However, such compensation is still pale and feeble. Because what he got was only what originally belonged to him, everything except the treasure of the undead that he should have found. This still follows the barbaric law mentioned earlier, but it is just a cover-up method to cover up.
Fundamentally speaking, this ending is still under the metaphor of this movie. Even if what Jack gets is the same as what the treasure owner gets: gain, loss, struggle, loss and regain. So cycle.
Captain Jack played by Johnny Depp almost subverted his previous screen image. However, this new screen image has created a new career peak, and at the same time it is so deeply loved. Distinctive body language, unexpected behavior and behavior patterns that ignore established rules. No longer handsome, no longer shy, but conquered many people so touching. Except for our beloved Captain Jack, the other characters are also full and vivid. Such as Wil Duna, Elizabeth and Barbersa. But this movie also fell into a very embarrassing situation because of this. The fullness of the various characters makes this movie seem dilemma. The film has taken great pains to portray these characters as full as possible, perhaps just to make the film look more connotative, but it is also because of this that the protagonist is not prominent enough.
However, this is not fatal enough. What's more fatal is that what the main characters of this film express to promote are not uniform or even far apart. This casts a layer of misleading to the theme of this movie that is not clear enough. Because after watching this movie, I was confused. I didn't understand what this movie was about to promote. It’s Captain Jack’s eclectic style; it’s Wilduna’s uprightness; it’s Barbosa’s unscrupulous means; or is it the beautiful and holy love of Elizabeth and Wilduna, regardless of the view of the door and the shackles of the world. Is it the restricted freedom that Jack longs for; the rules that Wilduna follows; or the inviolable dignity and glory buried by the treasure owner. Everything became confused. No longer clear. The confusion caused by the distinctive but also distinct characters seems to be the dilemma that the film is too chasing the fullness of the image, but it is caught in a dilemma.
It is not good enough to create an atmosphere of horror. I don't understand why many people regard this movie as a thriller, at least many people I know have such a misunderstanding. The shape of the characters is more cute than scary.
Especially when I look at the crew member who is chasing my eyeballs on the deck, I always feel this way. The horror expressed in a funny way has actually been greatly weakened and softened. If it comes to horror, perhaps, the film’s use of concepts is even better. The tragic situation of the cursed Black Pearl crew member was decomposed and softened by the so-called comic, but if you think about it further, that state is actually very permeating. Not alive, but not dead. This is somewhat similar to the zombies in the vampire movie. But vampires still feel at least, but they basically don't. They can't even find the feeling of the beloved sea breeze on their cheeks. Food, women, everything they chase, they will never get it. Needs, always needed and constantly needed, but never satisfied, is a terrible feeling. What kind of state would be more desolate than them. Feeling hungry, but unable to eat; strong desires and can never be satisfied; desires and unsatisfiable desires exist in them at the same time and they are constantly tortured forever. This may also be punishment for their plundering and greed and betrayal.
eye for eye. And the return of glory. This final tone gave the film its final preaching meaning. Although the evil Captain Jack kept saying that he was a wicked person, maybe as Elizabeth said, maybe in the depths of his soul he has been longing to be a good person.
The true meaning of salvation of believers shines with the last glory in this movie. The owner of the treasure used his curse to retrieve the glory that belonged to him; and the glory of Jack returned in his writhing battle, he will drive his black pearl to gallop in the sea of freedom in his ideal . And people are starting to evaluate Jack, and there are good pirates. But what's the point of this. A dilapidated but the fastest pirate ship in the world is carrying a sickly and famous pirate to the deep sea. In the deep sea, how many immovable treasures and wealth are waiting for him. What comes after preaching meaning is confusing emptiness. Except for regaining his own glory and self-contradictory propaganda; perhaps, there is nothing left.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" a month before the release
Actually I am looking forward to this movie. Even in my opinion, this movie still belongs to the crop of the film industrialization pipeline. But to thoroughly enjoy this type of movie from the audiovisual, it seems that there is no other choice. On May 25, 2007, the expected release of this film will be in the United States. But at this time, the predictions and publicity of this movie seem to be visible everywhere on the Internet. Promotional posters and teaser posters have been seen everywhere on major movie websites. Rather than wait and see nothing to rely on, it's better to look back at the two previous films of this movie. Written two months before the release of "The End of the World". Whether it's sorting, or looking forward to nothing to rely on. Two months later, after these two films, we will once again receive the duck-like re-education of Hollywood industrial films. But I look forward to it. depressed. NND.
