In May 2017, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 came out, and as a Pirates of the Caribbean fan, I went to see the movie a few weeks later
Why don't you watch it first? ? It stands to reason that fans will watch their favorite movies for the first time, but I still think a lot before deciding to watch them
Why? ? ? ? Because six years ago, there was a movie called Pirates of the Caribbean 4 that completely changed my passion for the series
It's worth mentioning the first trilogy of Pirates of the Caribbean series, with its captivating Captain Jack, emotionally charged pirate relationships, and even a thrilling interpretation of a love triangle. . . Of course, the most important thing is that besides Captain Jack, there is also the plot of the movie. Each character has his own purpose, all of them are to complete a task that is beneficial to him, and he will do everything in exchange for his own interests, but in the end they still converge. Working together, or confronting, endless reversals and unexpected plot trends made this series quickly gain a large number of fans
Normally speaking, the first three parts of this series are a perfect story, from the beginning of Captain Jack driving his submerged boat to the final third part of the romantic love story of Will and Elizabeth. The ending, and the final ten years at sea, are comforting, as the director has used the first trilogy to put a tentative end to the series
The first three can be said to be classic and many scenes are memorable, such as the story of Jack and Elizabeth on the beach in the first, Will and Jack's fight in the armory, and the final fight between the pirate and the brigadier general The images are unforgettable. . . . Not to mention the second part. At the beginning, Jack's appearance was the most exciting appearance in this series, and then to the escape from Cannibal Island, the battle of Turtle Island and the final sea monster battle, let this special effect and adventure A hodgepodge of elements combined into a classic. . . The last third part can be said to be the finale. It is obvious that everyone's emotional line and story line are much clearer. Every character, whether it is a soy sauce or the protagonist, can give a lot of emotional color and surprise. Unexpected experience. . . For example, in the first film, Barbossa, after a lot of hard work, finally got the freedom he longed for, but what awaited him the next second was a bullet fired in his chest, he said, "I I feel the cold." Then he fell to the ground. . . David Jones of the third film also went to hell with his lover at the end. Will is also reunited with his father, Captain Jack finally chooses a free life, and Elizabeth is willing to wait for Will with her son for Will (have to say, here I am curious where they are in ten years) How do you have a baby so soon, and is Will sure it's his? Maybe Jack's?)
So in the first three parts, it can be said to be a link between the previous and the next, the plot is ups and downs, a very classic series style
Now let's talk about the fourth
The fourth film can be said to have nothing to do with the first three, and of course it can't be said that it has nothing to do with it. It can only be said that most of the old actors are gone, replaced by some new faces, except for Sailor Gibson and Captain Jack who have always had a love-hate relationship. Captain Barbossa is still here, everyone else is gone
But if we abandon the first three films and leave aside the old actors, this movie is still only a qualified movie, nothing more, if compared with the previous work, maybe it will be unqualified
The process and purpose of the whole movie is very simple, the villain Blackbeard wants to find the Fountain of Youth, then everyone wants to find the Fountain of Youth, the King of England wants it, Captain Jack wants it, Barbossa also wants it, Blackbeard and Angie Rika wanted it even more. . . So in the first 20 minutes or so, everyone's purpose has been clearly explained. There is no such thing as the first three films, where everyone snatch the same thing for their own interests, and the reversal during the period is not much presented. Can only be described as disappointment
The villain Blackbeard played with the traitor crew headed by Captain Jack as soon as he appeared on the scene. At first, I thought he was very powerful, but the final battle of the Fountain of Youth was just a piece of garbage, and it couldn't compete with the villains of the previous films. Bosa and Davy Jones comparison. In the end, when the two (Angelica and Blackbeard were both poisoned) had a choice between a cup of antidote and a cup of poison, I thought he would choose poison, after all, Angelica should be his daughter after all. . . .
But in the end, he chose the antidote and deduced the perfect interpretation of the word villain.
Finally, let’s talk about the plot. Basically, this movie is all about everyone walking non-stop, looking for the Fountain of Youth. If they were filming a little more, I’m afraid it would become “Indiana Jones 5”. Of course, there is no such thing here. Saying that Indiana Jones is not good-looking is just saying that the styles of the two films are somewhat different. If the two series are very similar, there will definitely be a hit.
Finally, there is a problem with the uncertainty of the protagonist. In this series, only Captain Jack can become the protagonist of this series. The mermaid's emotional line is very long and very long, completely avoiding the development of the main line, and finally I still hope that this paragraph may have some effect on the final plot. . . But unfortunately, the emotional line of these two goods is really useless in the main line, let alone why the last mermaid agreed to contribute tears. . . I still don't know why she did this. . . Is it for missionaries? ? ? And what happened to them in the end? ? ?
—————————————————————
Now you should know that after the blow of the fourth part, I have had a certain degree of doubts about this series, but after watching it, I still think it is better than the fourth part, but still not as good as the classic. If the first three are classics, and the fourth is a bit looser, it is qualified, then the fifth should be defined as excellent. . . Why do you say that? Because the fourth part is really not entertaining at all, I only know that the plot is constantly narrated, which seems particularly rushed. The guillotine and wedding battle in the fifth part are still very interesting and entertaining.
There is also a fourth film that has nothing to do with the previous ones, because the director revolves around Captain Jack, and then tells a story of his own, and the fifth film is twenty years after the Battle of Shipwreck Cove. Talking about what happened after the first three films, the two major protagonists we haven't seen in ten years: Will and Elizabeth are returning here, do you think fans can't be excited? Although the two finally only showed three shots
Of course, in addition to this, there is also the reappearance of the Black Pearl. It was sealed in a small bottle in the fourth part, and it disappeared for ten years in a flash. Now it is still so majestic
Therefore, in terms of the theme of the plot and the tribute to the old film, fans still prefer the fifth film, and they want to know what happened to the ten-year appointment.
Not to mention the special effects. After six years or even more than ten years, the special effects are already far ahead of the previous series.
But if you just say this, you may think this is as good as the previous ones, so here is what the shortcomings of this movie are:
1. The fourth part of the villain. . . What does the horse mean? That is to say, it is very similar to the villain of the fourth film. The villains of the fourth and fifth films have one thing in common, that is, they are very powerful when they appear on the stage, like a dictatorial overlord, and their abilities are also very large, but the final battle. It's always just a scribbled hit, it's over, the villain is portrayed very weakly, but without any emotional color, the villain in the fourth part is just looking for the fountain of youth, like a real pirate, who only knows how to snatch things, the first one. The villain of the fifth part only knows revenge and has no special purpose
2. Captain Jack has lost his former style. Although he is still so coquettish and so motherly, he has lost his former style. Like in the second movie, Captain Jack went to the Black Pearl and picked up his gun like a sea monster and fired a deadly gun. , and the scene where he finally picked up the sword and fought against the sea monster with the Black Pearl, which directly shaped his character to the highest point. But this one has become an alcoholic who only knows how to drink, like a walking dead, and the final battle seems to have nothing to do with him, and then he may just be lucky to be the captain
Now there should be no doubts about this kind of movie. If you are a die-hard fan of the Caribbean, watching this movie will definitely make you feel something at the end, but those who haven't watched the previous ones may not know what they are saying, don't know him Good thing, I don't know where he's bad
