The commodore was actually a pretty good guy throughout the series. He wasn't unfair and was simply doing his job. He let Elizabeth go instead of forcing her into a loveless relationship. He was a solid Royal Navy officer simply enforcing the law in a pretty lawless area of the world.

[@swordmonkey6635]

@Republic of Texas Yeah, the pirates in the series are the fictional romantic versions of pirates. There are subtle nods toward historical pirates, like naming the historical pirates Henry Morgan and Bartholomew Roberts (for formulating the rules of parley). I always find it funny that the Black Pearl is a full on man-o-war sized ship rather than the smaller, more maneuverable sloops that had shallow drafts and could hug the coast and reefs to evade or wait in ambush. Plus bigger ships require more crew and pirate crews (while democratic) weren't the most disciplined when it came to staying on a ship for long.

The Pirates trilogy fits into that category of trilogy that wasn't initially conceived as a trilogy, but the first film was so successful they figured out a way to turn it into one. The giveaway is that unlike a trilogy like LoTR which is one of only a few true trilogies, the first film is basically a stand-alone film with a complete story.

The reason Jack is "The worst pirate anyone had heard of" was because Jack Sparrow had worked for as part of the East Indian Trading Company. Yet, he was fired when he refused orders to transport slaves for the company. For his insubordination, Jack was branded as a pirate. Jack made it clear that he would rather be a pirate than have ended up like superiors, so he never got the moniker of pirate by doing pirate things, making him not a very good pirate.

This movie had one of my all time favorite dvd commentary's with Kiera Knightly and Commodore Norrington's actor doing it. They had sooooo much fun talking about the movie and their experiences filming it. it was a riot, so hilarious. I remember he spent so much time learning fencing and sword fighting while Kiera, Orlando, and Depp were just riding the Disney ride over and over and having a blast in the park. I really feel Norrington got a poor treatment by the later movies as the chemistry he and Kiera had in the commentary and their dynamic was so fun. I always thought it would've been a better send off if he did become part of the Dutchman's crew and then ended up being first mate to Will. Him paying for his betrayal by serving on the crew and aiding Will do his duties so he can always go back to Elizabeth, so Norrington in his own way still cares for Elizabeth even though it's not romantic. Also being a navy man I'd imagine he'd like such a long life at sea, not to mention ferrying the souls of the dead. As a navy man who knows how many the sea claims he'd seem quite invested in making sure sailors got taken care of.

However there were times when incredibly tight corsetry was popular amongst the aristocracy as high fashion. These corsets obvs. looked a certain way and have become a theatre/hollywood staple accordingly.

Stays were sort of for silhouette, but they were mostly just to hold your boobs in place. D.

It’s an extremely underappreciated masterpiece! I don’t think enough people went to see it because both movies feature sailing ships. If you could please react to Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World sometime, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks and enjoy!

[@estebansgiron]

Absolutely! Master and Commander is a fantastic movie!

[@nicholasloduca6668]

Can't agree enough. Master and Commander is amazing!

[@duanevp]

Master and Commander - one of my favorite movies EVER.

[@Do0msday]

That is a terrific movie, but I feel it doesn't get all the love because people enjoy this version of pirates compared to a more realistic approach when it comes to sailing and fights at sea. Paul Bettany was so damn good in that movie. So good.

[@mitchellneu]

@@Do0msday you nailed it. More people need to give M&C a chance. If the supposed “prequel in the works” rumors are to be believed…they just might get their chance…

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

I read somewhere that Gore Vorbinski (The director of Pirates) was one of the names in mind to direct the star wars sequels. It's such a shame that we never got the fun adventure that they could of been.

[@garyballard179]

He's also been trying to make a Bioshock movie - but he's given up because no studio will let him make it true to the source material.

[@pyromaniac034]

That would have been great

[@darquidarqui]

An absolutely legendary film. The beginning of one of my favorite trilogies ever! They really don't make movies like these anymore. Such a unique feel and energy, and gosh, Johnny Depp nailed it but also the music. THAT. SCORE. IS. UNMATCHED. Keep being awesome Nat! 🙌🏻😊 EDIT: that stay golden sign looks awesome, love it!

[@jmsmys13ify]

Except the second two films were pretty terrible.

[@darquidarqui]

@@jmsmys13ify 2 and 3 are great imo, I think they're pretty underrated and have a lot of good qualities. 4 and 5 is where the greatness is really not there anymore.

[@jmsmys13ify]

@@darquidarqui imo 2 and 3 are what's wrong with sequels. Comparable to the Transformers sequels.

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

Typical b.s sound effects. Evertime somebody pulls out a sword. And it's obvious they were trained by some idiot fencing wimp. Pirates used cutlasses which were held with both hands, and these morons use one hand as if they were using rapiers.

[@zelphir12]

I truly wish I had someone as entertaining as you to watch movies with! Your first time reviews are so fun to watch

[@silver9wolf6]

Same!!

[@josegiron7008]

the most unbelievable part of this movie is how will and jack managed to pull down the small canoe to the bottom to get air, that is some strength right there lol

[@charliefarmer4365]

In the film, Will and Elizabeth are 20 (around 12 in the opening), Jack is somewhere in his 20s/30s, Norrington is 28 (20 in the opening) and who knows how old the dog is.

[@19Paul91]

Your natural curls are beautiful, but i just wanted to say you look amazing with your hair this way!

[@patrickxtran]

This movie is SO FUN! So many great and creative action set pieces. The performances from the whole cast elevates this movie even more. I'm glad Natalie enjoyed this as much as I do when I rewatch it.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

The second and third one are absolutely worthy of including. They keep the brilliant magic of the first one, and build on the world in incredible ways. The fourth and fifth one I haven't seen, and haven't heard much good about.

[@NelsonStJames]

Good call on not doing this during the trial. You're a class act. Pirate of the Carribean gets better every time I watch it, and I thought so highly of it when it came out I took everybody I knew to go see it even though nobody wanted to go see a film "based on a ride at Disneyland". This movie is a throwback to the type of filmmaking where the screenwriters actually took the task of writing a cohesive adventure film seriously. The story makes sense and is internally consistent. All the characters are well defined. And I don't care what anybody says Johnny Depp should have easily taken home a best supporting actor's oscar for Jack Sparrow, a character with one of the most iconic introductions in cinema.

[@10yearslater_]

Jack's sinking ship, and the tripping at the end is so funny

[@gregorymaroda4860]

Trivia time! "Pirate speak" is just an English West Country accent. In the Disney film adaptation of "Treasure Island", Robert Newton played Long John Silver and decided to use his native accent. And now all pirates talk like they're from Dorchester. :D

[@LuckyNemo03]

I remember playing these songs in band soo much from first playing it and it sounding so rough to when we performed and it being so good. Gave me chills every time and now when I hear it it keeps giving me that feeling.

[@BassLineProductionsI]

That's great, kinda wish that was one the songs we woulda done when I was in school!

[@willpulver7635]

The Skelton transformation threw a monkey wrench for those working on Lord of the Rings. For Return of the King, they thought of doing something identical to it for the Army of the Dead until Pirates came out. They had to rework it and find a different solution

[@rpvee]

Aw, this’ll be fun! Still hope you react to The Mummy and The Mummy Returns sometime!!

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

Glad to see you really enjoy this movie. For me this will always be my favorite of all of the Pirate movies. I enjoyed the others but there was something special about this one that has never been replicated successfully.

[@GusHdzRuiz]

I love how real everything feels, compared to the fifth movie, for example. The sea, the ships, it's fun you don't get to see very often.

[@mattjofre]

Taking a moment to shout out that extremely cozy room. The colour scheme is so warm, idk why it feels mid century to me, which I love. The new sign is also hella sweet but what brings it all together is that Nat's eyes and hair match everything around her perfectly. Taste for days *Also, PLEASE react to Severance, from AppleTV+. You're going to love it!

[@MichaelTargaryen8809]

you being visually flustered to the bone by will turner made me choke on my lunch 😂😂😂😂

[@clairen.5591]

that first initial sequence of you absolutely losing it over Orlando Bloom was the most relatable content i've seen in my life

[@shainewhite2781]

Before Johnny Depp was cast as Jack Sparrow, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Matthew McConaughey, and Robert DeNiro were almost cast. Tobey McGuire, Christopher Masterson, Christian Bale and Ben Peyton were considered for Will Turner. Amanda Bynes, Jamie Alexander and Jessica Alba were considered for Elizabeth. Steven Spielberg was almost picked to direct the film but was too busy working on Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002.

[@OneTrueVikingbard]

Lol are you serious? Now I’m having this absurd mental image of these guys auditioning going “I’m captain Jack sparrow, savvy?” in their stereotypical impressionist style. Ford would be cynical and 100% done with everything, Keaton would just be Batman from 1989 again, Carey and Williams would be off the wall, Walken would just be…wAlken, etc.

[@michaelklaus]

Well DeNiro is a marvelous pirate captain in Stardust...

[@Wraiven22]

Amanda Byrnes would’ve been so great!

[@ShiningDarknes]

“I’m curious, after killing me what is it you planned on doing next.” Is one of the most underrated lines in the movie.

[@b.u.l.1734]

Hope you also react to Pirates 2 and 3. The first 3 Pirates movies tell one big overarching story with a beginning, middle and end. Pirates 4 and 5 are standalone stories starring Jack Sparrow and they're nowhere as good as the OG trilogy, imo.

[@ericgibson9097]

Your reactions are no joke the best on KZbin. You need a sitcom of your own. Seriously!!!

[@jotakuplays1536]

I'm pissed that they're replacing Johnny Depp. Not because I hate the idea of Margot Robbie. If anything, they should do a movie with both of them. It would be cool seeing them both on screen portraying their roles.

[@tranquilk5912]

18:14 i love that quote so much and the delivery so well done. Barbosa, legendary villain

[@derekconnors4128]

The first three films directed by Gore Verbinski are so great, might be my favorite trilogy.

[@OneTrueVikingbard]

I’ll give On Stranger Tides a pass because of Penelope Cruz and the mermaid subplot; but you are right on the mark

[@DanityKanelvr25]

it’s soo good

[@TehFrenchy29]

I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the comments yet, but a fun little note about Sparrow's character and being more intelligent than he sometimes comes across -- when he trips at the end and falls into the water he falls at the same place Elizabeth did, and it can reasonably be assumed that was intentional and not an accident. He knows Elizabeth FELL and didn't jump, and that she survived the fall given he's the one who rescued her; his best chance at escape can reasonably be assumed falling from the same spot to land in more or less the same place and not hit any of the rocks.

[@shonnie_16]

your hair looks amazing

[@d3j4v00]

This movie is close to perfect. I will happily watch it through any time it is on. Same cannot be said for any one of the sequels.

[@danharris5999]

With all respect to the remaining cast, this would have been just an average run-of-the-mill pirate adventure movie without Johnny Depp. Like him or not, can't deny his talent. I seem to remember he took his inspiration for his mannerisms and some speech patterns from the Rolling Stone's legendary guitarist Keith Richards. It worked beautifully.

[@wombat5334]

yes yes! watch the whole trilogy!! It was great seeing you get so happy watching this. You will need a joyful film series to watch while enduring the terror of Stranger Things :)

[@grunt9950]

When Disney could still write humor - good times

[@a_fine_edition2746]

Such a great series. The original 3 are untouchable as modern masterpieces of the action adventure genre. I seriously hope you watch the other 2 in the future.

[@Imperius_Rex_753]

The year is 2022 Internet: This movie came out in 2003. Nat: I've seen this movie 15 years ago in theaters!

[@8andimpala]

Your hair game is ON POINT today!!! Looks awesome!

[@martinbraun1211]

Please watch STAR TREK! 🖖

[@Slays_Media]

The original Pirates trilogy is easily some of the best writing and cinematography of its time. Every single actor brought their A-game to these amazing set pieces and just lived the story as if it were their real lives. It's no easy task to cast such a perfect group of people for a project like this.

[@charliefarmer4365]

“Jack didn’t do anything wrong!” That will not age well…

[@kaylamoore4379]

Yes! Please finish the series! The original trilogy is so good! I love watching these movies, some of my all time favorites! I too was very young when this movie came out, about 7, so it also makes me feel old realizing it'll be 20 years next year!

[@theebronks]

was willing to watch until you proclaimed "we love johnny depp on this channel"; i do not. while i try to sperate the art from the artist whenever possible if you're just going to pretend he's a decent human i can't support it.

[@RichO1701e]

He was with a violent, narcissistic liar who, when together, brought out the worst in each other, amplified their worst character traits. Just remember that not a SINGLE, previous intimate partner of Depp's supported or corroborated Amber Turd's FALSE accusations. One brief, toxic relationship does not a bad person make. Other than that, you are more than welcome to FUCK OFF.

[@Bstrang104]

Yeah that really bummed me out. I love this channel. I DO NOT love Johnny Depp. Can’t f*cking stand him actually.

[@FulcanMal]

When I went back to college at 35, I did a presentation in class that included a funny meme about the movie Gladiator with Russel Crowe. The class stared at me blankly. I then realized most of them were born after the movie came out, and felt extremely old. (FYI the presentation was about the drug war, and the meme featured Maximus saying "Am I being detained?", a reference to "Are you not entertained?" and Crowe's frequent arrests)

[@RonJomero]

I've always liked the bit of trivia about how when showing the higher-ups dailies of Johnny Depp's performance, they demanded that he change it and that pirates don't act or talk like that. That nobody watching the movie would like it. Johnny essentially responded that it was an acting choice he was consciously making, that he was going to keep doing it, and if they didn't like it that they could fire him. And fast forward to now and he's created the most iconic movie pirate in the history of movie pirates.

[@depressedbitxch2240]

I'm loving your hair it's truly ✨GIVING ✨

[@EmonEconomist]

I usually say it ka-ri-BEE-yan like they do in the movie, but if I think about it too hard I start singing Kermit the Frog's "Caribbean Amphibian" song in my head, which uses the ka-RIB-bi-yan pronunciation. And then I get confused.

[@samsamm1402]

"I'm so jealous - I mean I'm happily taken - JACK" what a rollercoaster lmaooo same tho

[@PurpleCrusader420]

You look great with curly hair but you look FANTASTIC with long flowing silky smooth hair!

[@johndalley1288]

I love how you are so excited and into this movie even though you saw it once before. You Channel is so awesome.
