The second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" are about a sea epic where the protagonist is not Captain Jack. A young captain, David Jones, fell in love with the goddess of the sea, but was cursed by the goddess of the sea because of an unexpected missed appointment. His heart was taken away, and he became half-man and half-fish. He was imprisoned at sea for his life while driving the "Flying Dutchman". The brave fell into dragons. The dragon chase threatens the protagonist team, and the government fleet that hopes to slaughter the pirates also enters the battle. In a pirate survival battle that is about life and death, pirates from all over the world gather to win the victory, the government army is destroyed, David · Jones was also forgiven or relieved by the goddess of the sea before his death. But the fate and the curse continued forever. In order to save Will Turner's sacrifice in battle, Turner had to become the second cursed man, his heart was taken away, and he became the new captain of the "Flying Dutchman". From then on, she and her lover Elizabeth, who had just married in a very romantic battle, promised to meet every five years at the end of the world, until the end of the world.
It's about heartbroken love, loss, waiting, understanding and forgiveness. About pirate spirit, adventure, freedom, unyielding. It is about epic, fate, the struggle of fate and the ultimate insignificance and sadness of human beings. Every time I look back at the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean, it all makes my heart hurt, and at the same time, it makes me reminisce about the Pirates of the Caribbean series with fondness, sometimes with warm eyes.
However, the third film unexpectedly did not live up to expectations at the box office. There are many reasons. The fundamental one is of course what I said before. Good stories are not told well. But in the eyes of Hollywood businessmen, the reason should be: Captain Jack is not the protagonist and main driving force, and did not replicate the successful fairy tale adventure style in the first film.
Therefore, we have seen the fourth and fifth volumes, they are indeed different, one of them talks about the fountain of youth, fighting Blackbeard, and the Spanish fleet makes trouble; the other talks about the trident, fighting Salazar, and the British fleet makes trouble; but the scary thing is that the first One is about finding the cursed treasure, hitting Barbossa, and making trouble with the British fleet.
After experiencing the setbacks of the great ambitions of the second and third films, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has since entered a vicious circle of not making progress. In the first part, everyone had never seen someone like Captain Jack, and everyone was crazy about it, ignoring what a mediocre and boring fairy tale adventure story itself. The status of Jack in the second and third episodes has been slightly weakened, but this actually further magnifies Jack's charm - so the unfortunate fourth and fifth episodes, except that Captain Jack continues to pretend to be crazy and foolish, the only thing left is, It's just two scripts that are worse than the first one.
Of course, you can fairly say that the fifth film is better than the fourth, and it looks a lot better, and more people will be satisfied, because the fifth film has more, conscientious naval battles, and has more laughs And clever, the wit of the bank robbery scene is comparable to the Jungle Spring Festival Gala in the second part, the music also has a lot of classic chapters from the third part and it seems a little epic, and Captain Jack is not as stupid as the fourth part - but, please, the first part Were the scenes of the Four Fountain of Youth and the Fifth Trident made in the same studio? Are the scenes of Blackbeard and Salazar copied from the same script? Most fundamentally, what is Disney's positioning for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, one treasure per episode and one theme park per episode?
Finally, in the familiar At the World's End music theme, Will and Elizabeth, who bear the curse of fate at the end of the world, broke the fate of David Jones and were able to stay together forever. The same scene and the same color as the end of the third part, the crew thought, how can we not eat this wave of feelings? No, I don't eat it: Why should I consider the tragic ending a timeless classic when filming the sequel forced a happy ending? I'm sorry for the tears I shed ten years ago for such a twisted reunion, I'm sorry for the writers who wrote the second and third epic scripts, I'm sorry for the adventures, oceans, love and dreams that came to my mind about this series. feelings.
So for this ending, for this sequel, I'll sum it up with the Captain's line at the end of this one: "This scene is disgusting, savvy?"
