Recently, I reviewed "Pirates of the Caribbean" 1~5, and found a very interesting point: the compass in the hands of Captain Jack Sparrow (John Nedpp) played a certain role in each of them. The role of plot promotion. (Part 3 and Part 5 are especially obvious)

In the fifth part, it is explained how the compass in Captain Jack's hand came from (a crew member gave him when he became the captain of the Black Pearl)

For die without a check against: fifth I was very disappointed, in fact, is not less than the value of the compass, "Black Pearl" from the explanation given in the previous few think carefully.

The compass in the film points to what the owner wants most in his heart . Whether it's the search for the stolen "Black Pearl" with a compass in the first part or the lost compass in the fifth part that evokes Lhasacha's revenge, the compass in the hands of Captain Jack plays a vital role. In the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies, whenever Captain Jack encounters difficulties or loses direction, he will take out the compass in his hand. The compass helps him avoid danger again and again; the compass guides Captain Jack on the Caribbean sea. Chi hire. Captain Jack is a pirate, but he is different from other pirates on the sea. This is why Captain Jack is sought after by fans all over the world. He is a crazy, resourceful, changeable temperament, loves rum, and admires freedom and uninhibited... ··· Such a "grotesque" pirate has never lost his way because of the vastness of the sea. Even though the favorite "Black Pearl" has never been by his side, Captain Jack always holds the compass in his hands. It is precisely this compass. , He never lost the direction of sailing on the sea.

Many people like Captain Jack, his heart that always yearns for the sea

And I like that Captain Jack never lost his way in the vast Caribbean Sea

Perhaps many people think that the "Black Pearl" is the most important thing for Captain Jack, but it is impossible to get the "Black Pearl" without a compass. The entire series of "Pirates of the Caribbean" revolves around Captain Jack and the "Black Pearl". "——Lost and regaining, gaining and regaining, always repeating this way. The compass that really accompanies him (whether on sea or land) is the compass from beginning to end. This is also the plot that led to the fifth episode-changing him for rum to drink, attracting the biggest enemy in life.

Except for the fifth part, has the compass left Captain Jack's side? Had.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Captain Jack’s compass was in the hands of the navy. After he was caught, the navy gave it to him, and then he gave it to William Turner (Orlando Bloom). It was back in his hands, as if everything had been thought of in his mind. The compass is to guide the owner. It is not exclusive to Captain Jack. Why did it return to Jack's hands in the end? Thanks for the screenwriter? In my opinion, Turner and the others also have their own "compass". They don’t need to take another compass that belongs to Captain Jack, or the compass is unique to Captain Jack. In the eyes of others, this compass is just a different one. The broken compass that can point to the north is useless at all.

When encountering some special circumstances, Captain Jack would give away his compass, but in the end Captain Jack took the compass back or the compass finally returned to his hands.

If you want to look at the compass in your hand while sailing on the sea, after all, in the unpredictable sea, even if you are resourceful and love to drink rum, you can't do it.
