[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

For how they're underwater at 25:20, it's pretty simple. Air is lighter than water so it goes up, which is why you see bubbles rise when there's air underwater. When it's in an airtight container like the boat, it can't escape so it just stays there. The unrealistic part is that the air and the woods naturally buoyancy would be pushing up so hard that there's no way two humans would be strong enough to hold the boat underwater; they'd just float to the surface. You can test it at home. Just put an empty glass underwater with the opening facing down. The inside of the glass will be dry. Tilt it to the side and you'll see bubbles escape. Science, bitch.

Mythbusters did a bit on it, I vaguely remember someone saying if they'd attached a bunch of weights to the upturned boat, it would have been a viable way of sneaking onto ships. I'm fairly certain they also said they would asphyxiate long before they got anywhere near the ship but hey...Science, bitch.

[@AdamNisbett]

It all just depends on how much air and how heavy the boat. The amount of force they’d have to provide to hold the boat down is based on the difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of the water that the boat and air pocket displace.

[@emoharalampiev1590]

@@Dusk.EighthLegion really I don't remember anything of the sort when I was watching the mythbusters thing, I mean I feel there have to be A LOT of weight not any amount that would be reasonably realistic. And don't think air would be an issue, there's air at least like for 20 minutes in there.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Hannah's right. The sequels bring in more of the "pathos" and darker-scenarios and the first installment of the franchise is more fun and "happy-ending". Plus, I think the reason that Jack Sparrow had a "easy" get away is because Elizabeth, the daughter of the Governor and the beloved of Admiral Norrington, was in cahoots with Will and Jack. She, basically, bought their freedom, at least at that moment. Obviously, Norrington is going to go after Jack 1 day later but for now he's been allowed to escape. Norrington has a grudging respect for Jack and he wants Elizabeth to be happy, at the end of the day. He's a good man.

You have to also remember this is a disney franchise as well.

Captain Jack Sparrow isn’t drunk all the time. He walks with his “sea-legs”. A walk necessary to walk on the rolling and pitching ship. Notice that he walks “drunk” on land but perfectly normal on ships.

[@DerkleineTrojaner]

Nonsense. He's the only one who does this and there are many sailors in this movie. It doesn't seem to affect the navy. Also he IS drunk a lot. They did this because it adds to his character, there's no further logic behind it.

It seems to me that they're forgetting (or maybe don't know) that this is a Disney family movie based on a very popular family ride at Disney parks. There's No way it was going to be too dark, gruesome, or anything like that. There are plenty of options if you want blood and guts, violence, bad endings, and reality in media about pirates -- who were/are nothing like the romanticized versions in most films and TV shows (like Errol Flynn movies or the One Piece series). Many were extremely brutal, violent, and psychotic. There's a real reason they were hunted and killed on sight

Believe it or not, this movie earned Johnny Depp his first ever Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Lost to Sean Penn for the Clint Eastwood-directed MYSTIC RIVER.

@@transarang To be fair Penn was so overdue a win at that point (it was his 4th Best Actor nomination), not to mention the fact that the category usually favors actors in a film nominated for Best Picture (which MYSTIC RIVER was nominated for but didn't win thanks to facing the LOTR: RETURN OF THE KING juggernaut (Clint Eastwood would incidentally end up winning Best Director and Best Picture the very next year for MILLION DOLLAR BABY)). The fact that Johnny Depp even got nominated for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN was a huge miracle in and of itself given the genre bias.

Walking under water with the boat... they actually did test that on Mythbusters. It's not possible. It was 100% movie magic.

[@marcusfridh8489]

The idea was that it would work as a diving bell, a boat like that i far too wide to work. A diving bell needs to be narrow and as tall or a little taller than the diver. Just like a bell or even a tall drinking glass.

[@sathvamp1]

I would guess the only reason it's not possible is because it would take too much force to get the air pushed to that depth (?). Because if you submerge a cup upside down in a bathtub, it CAN hold the air in that position. But it takes pushing to get it down to a depth.

[@bajjanitor]

Only if you assume the boat is made out of wood. ;)

[@thisishowthetruthdies684]

Depp wasn't acting drunk. He was trying to portray how a man who spent all his time at sea on a rocking ship would feel imbalanced on land.

[@spookyboilanny8842]

One of the reasons I love these movies is because of how well the antagonists are written. I don't even like to consider them "villains" because all of them have so much character and relatability. Commodore Norrington, objectively speaking, is just a man trying to do his job. He is framed as the foil to the protagonists but is never cruel or malicious. Even when he is beaten he takes it gracefully, accepting his mistake of underestimating Jack at the beginning, and even letting Elizabeth go when he realizes she will not be happy if they marry. Then at the other end of the spectrum we have Hector Barbossa. It would have been so easy to make him a generic "evil pirate" but instead the writers took the time and effort to really make you understand the cruelty of the curse he has to live with. He may have been a criminal, but he was still human. It always really stuck with me how he had the apple in his hand in his final scene. After all that he had been through, he wanted the first thing he experienced with his regained humanity to be a bite of his favorite fruit. And he valued that one little apple more than all the treasures he had piled under his feet.

This is such a great movie and Jack Sparrow is one of the best movie characters of all time. You may know this already, but Johnny Depp dresses up as Jack Sparrow and visits sick kids in children's hospitals and stuff. He's been doing that for years, which I think is really cool. Also, you guys got to watch the whole franchise. People say the first three are the best, but being a Johnny Depp fan and just liking pirates, I like all of five of them.

Didn't he have to stop doing that once Disney fired him? Life's unfair sometimes.

[@TheBombasticFatRat]

Its a good movie but doesnt contribute to the overall story at all. 1-3 are about Will and Elizabeth's love story. 5 was both a continuation and conclusion to that storyline. Number 4 is like a buffer movie that just focusses on Jack. The only thing that actually has an impact is Barbossa losing his leg, but even that happens off-screen and its never again brought up in the sequels. @ericturner4857 Plus it was arguable the weakest villain of the series. I love the actor but Blackbeard was insanely predictable. They went from 3 movies where the villains are crews of unkillable pirates (be it ghost or fish people) to a group of regular humans, only 2 of whom are unkillable. It's a direct downgrade. Alas I still quite like the movie, but only when I watch it on its own. If I'm doing a marathon, I can comfortably skip number 4 without having missed anything important for the 5th.

Commodore James Norrington's character was a very fair man. Yes he disliked pirates and he wanted nothing else than to see them either hanged or behind bars but in Jack Sparrow's case he saw how able he was, how much he appreciated his crew and his position as Captain and he could sympathise with that. Same thing with Will, he saw how valuable his skills were but most importantly he saw him as the one guy Elizabeth chose, he would do anything for her even let the man who humiliated him run free. His character is often overlooked in the movies because you have such wonderful people to dote on but James Norrington is a very complex and deep-routed persona, he deserves the praise and Jack Davenport did such a fantastic job portraying him.

The ride Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyworld/Disneyland is older than the movie so they put scenes from the ride in the movie. I was laughing at that. Such a fun movie and Johnny Depp is so good. He said he patterned his movements after Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones.

So ready for this series... Love y'all's reactions. Since I found you, been one of my top go to channels for reactions! As far as the shows poll, I commented there, but Arcane would be an amazing show you guys to watch. I really think you would love it. Also The Walking Dead could be good for y'all as well. Looking forward to future content Ash! Let's get some symbolisms goin

[@pyrettablaze86]

Watching you both fall in love with Jack Sparrow like I did at age 17 when I first laid eyes in the theater. I HAD to do a cosplay and my friend who helped me with my costume realized she wasn't just into Jack but she was into ME and we dated for over 2 years.

I got to disagree with you again. The ending isn't disappointing. You always get to hung up on the ending. This story is a Trilogy. You'll understand by the end. And don't just watch the first 3, watch them all

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Thank you guys for making this movie reaction, I had so much fun, and to be honest I liked when Ash said; "This is Johnny Depp escapes from Amber Heard" that literally killed me haha. Regarding Johnny Depp's performance, Johnny is Jack Sparrow like Hugh Jackman is to Wolverine.

You guys have to watch the sequels!

[@morganmhancock]

14:34 we also just had a necklace send friggin brain waves 🤣

[@officialzeroninja]

Yall have to react to at least the next 2 movies in the series

[@julianservin3692]

Here waiting for the second and third part. I hope you watch it some time. You are great 💥

[@jobinmcgooch]

This franchise is awesome. Captain Jack Sparrow along with the other characters and world that’s introduced in this movie are so fun. Can’t wait for y’all to react to the sequel, it’s my favorite 🤘🏽

[@Shayshay.91]

WE NEED THE NEXT ONE PLEASE “DEAD MANS CHEST” it’s even better and probably the funniest too lol

[@bradleycharlesworth8745]

This one was one of the best ones in the franchise. Johnny Depp plays Jack Sparrow very well.

[@FunnyCrazyProduction]

Missing the scene at the end of the film - we see Captain Barbossa laying where he fell when Jack shot him - Jack the monkey - grabs a coin and becomes the undead monkey!

[@Prmex1993]

Please do dead man’s chest!! Part 2 is amazing 🔥

[@ericlane6202]

It's a ride at Disneyland! I'm pretty sure its roots stem from that fact.

[@DecSteele]

Someone no doubts said this but Johnny has personally dressed up as jack and visited so many kids in hospital, that man didn’t deserve to have his personal troubles live streamed everywhere during that trial 💔

[@pandapropsncostumes]

100% true. He will often do this on short notice and just put on a show. He did this in my city and my friends kid was in the hospital at the time and had a great visit. Jack / Johnny was so considerate of each kid and their needs. I get he's had his fair share of troubles and demons but the guy has a big heart.
