Set sail again

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has a special meaning to our generation. Every generation can find something to declare "I grew up watching it", such as "First Blood" or "Star Wars", in short It is what can be called "the movie of the X generation." Although I am a Star Wars fan, when it was popular, I was a kid who watched "Cat and Mouse". When I started to know the name, Star Wars had become a legend. If you want to find a movie that belongs to our generation, it should be Pirates of the Caribbean. This alone is enough reason to stay up late to watch the premiere.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is obviously the prelude to a new trilogy. Bloom's young couple are absent, but there is a high possibility that they will show up again, and of course they will not appear as the main character again. In the third part, Captain Skeleton, who has just been whitewashed, has become a close comrade-in-arms of the protagonist. In this film’s absolute male number two, Jeffrey Rush has proved his strength through "The King’s Speech" and is fully capable of supporting a mainstream. Commercial blockbusters. Although Penelope is a bit old, her style is still the same. Her only shortcoming is that she is used to acting in amorous movies. The lady of the Mediterranean will always be her most suitable role, and she is a little bit weak in the style of "Pirates of the Caribbean". In any case, the role transition between the two trilogy is completed in this way.

As the beginning of the trilogy, the film and "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" have many similarities. The captain has to gather people to prepare for sailing. In the meantime, he meets old friends and introduces new characters. Sometimes I think about pirates. The plot is the best written. When other screenwriters are still thinking about introducing a character and designing events ingeniously, you can bring in a girl whom the protagonist has soaked in, and arrange for her to be a great father. Being the female number one, after all, what a pirate is playing is heartbeat, everything can happen, and it makes sense for a character like Jack to encounter old acquaintances. Now you understand why there are unpredictable heroes everywhere, right? Writing a grass-roots story like Wei Xiaobao requires skill.

One interesting thing about the first three movies is that the heroine does not directly conflict with the male protagonist. Instead, they are in love with the male second. Sometimes people can’t tell who is the male number one, but this film is directly given to Jack. Arranged for an old friend to tell the story around Jack. At the same time, because there is no such thing as Bloom's little white face, Nedap can no longer play treasures unscrupulously. The image and performance are naturally as serious and close to the mainstream. Maybe this It will be a change in the new trilogy. Of course, it is impossible for Jack to talk about love. This time I replaced it with a priest and a mermaid as the elements of love, and it was still a relationship between humans and monsters, which was deeply moving and the effect was good. The villain is the same as the first one, eliciting a strong regular army strength, from the British navy to the Spanish navy, and like most of the colonial Spanish in British and American movies, it is still a fanatical and stereotyped Catholic image. A little religious material provides some possibilities for the future development of the story. The first three anti-government and monopoly consortiums, the latter three should also be anti-religious oppression.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been a weird movie from the beginning. The strange thing is that people can't tell where to watch. The martial arts take the comedic route, but it's not as good as Jackie Chan's movie and the special effects are mediocre. Maybe "Pirates of the Caribbean" is just like Captain Jack. The biggest feature is the mix and match. People will always like pirate stories, magical stories and the jokes of exotic and low-level gangsters, so you only need to mix them together, and then Adding a little bit of ridicule to the government and monopolies is enough to satisfy the appetite of young people in this era of lack of dreams.

When the first film was released, I was still a junior high school student, and now I am about to graduate from university. In a few dozen days, I will lose my "student" status in the strict sense and can no longer watch movies at half price. Captain Jack has recaptured the Black Pearl again and is about to set sail again. The same is true for me. I hope we can both go well.
