"Flying Dutchman" is the biggest highlight of the film.
This ship fulfills all the fantasies of fantasy pirates. This ship looks tattered and ugly, but its skeleton is as hard as steel. It can not only withstand the artillery fire of enemy ships, not only can it dive into the seabed with a sail, but also can summon Norwegian sea monsters to attack the enemy. The ship is destroyed and pushed to the bottom of the sea. So it made people fearful, and made the pirates in this sea surrender to its ravages.
And even more chilling than the ship was the crew on it. Every crew member who swears allegiance to the Flying Dutchman must serve on it for the rest of his life, until the man and the ship become one part of the ship. And because Captain Davy Jones failed to fulfill his promise to serve the souls of the dead, the entire crew of the ship became an undead sea monster, and the captain himself became an octopus-headed crab-handed monster.
In fact, this kind of fantasy story should be changed according to the existing legend. In the era of great voyages, the only tools that people could use to control the sea were wooden boats and sails. They were powered by wind. As for whether they could reach their destination safely, they all pinned their hopes on the gods. And the boundless and vast sea can be imagined. Storms and whirlpools are frequent visitors to sailors. Faced with this situation, there is nothing to do. Survivors will demonize it to warn future generations of the moodiness at sea.
Therefore, the story of the sea monster is always talked about.
And this part of the film is to seize this point, it satiated the audience's appetite. Compared with the first film, this film has been greatly improved in technology, which can be seen in the 3D production of Captain Davy Jones. This octopus-faced man's beard is the claws of an octopus, which are flexible and can also be used to play the piano. Its mouth and nose are also based on octopus, and his emotions are fully reflected in the trembling of the facial muscles. The back of the head also has a sarcoid-like octopus brain. The image of the entire octopus monster is lifelike, and this also shows that human cognition comes from nature, so human creations always have to be based on existing things, which is the limitation of our human beings.
Of course, if a person's power is too strong, it can easily become a tool used by others to realize their own ambitions. This film can only be regarded as a complete film if it is put together with the third film, so this film can only be regarded as the first half at best. Therefore, the victory of the opposite side is also expected. Although the storyline was shown to be unpredictable, the storyline did not deviate from the real history at all, that is, in the end, the British Royal Navy got the heart of David Jones and controlled the "Flying Dutchman". As a result, he controlled the maritime hegemony and used this powerful weapon to destroy all kinds of pirate ships.
The Royal Navy also arrested and imprisoned a large number of pirates. And this also laid the foundation for the third pirate uprising.
