Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl | Better Than I Remembered !!

[@sheldondyck8631]

I watched this movie in the theatre when it was first released. The audience erupting in laughter when Jack stepped off his sinking boat onto the dock is something I’ll never forget.

[@BissFlix]

Haha it is a great scene

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

"Take what ya can, give nothin' back...." I absolutely DO NOT care what anyone says, Johnny Depp was and IS the only actor who can effectively give Captain Jack Sparrow his piratey swagger.

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Many may not agree with me, but for sentimental reasons, my favorite Johnny Depp role was "Sam" in "Benny & Joon." Was the first movie I took my future wife to when we started dating, and we named our first born son "Sam."

Kiera knightly played Padme's double in Star Wars

[@Niinsa62]

Came here to say exactly that, but I was too slow. Kiera, and Natalie Portman. I read somewhere that when they were in make-up in the movie, Kiera's mother couldn't tell which one was her daughter.

Love your honesty Biss❤ Not that I didn't know but its nice you say it once in a while for all the haters out there

[@gordonduke8812]

I don't mind re-watches, especially if it is a first or second re-watch. We know that even if you have seen it before, you will pick up things you didn't notice the first time watching and/or things you may have forgotten, and we would love to go on that journey with you. Sometimes we just may be in the mood to see the movie again, and don't want to watch it alone. And here is where you will come in again. This is what I'm doing here tonight. I saw the thumbnail, it seemed fun to see the movie again, and now I don't have to watch it alone. So we're all good.

[@Sure0Foot]

I'm obsessed with Biss' laugh. Also, "savvy" means "knowledgable" or "shrewd." The way Jack uses it is "(are you) savvy (to what I'm saying)?" or, in other words, "you get me??"

[@mtpugh]

Savvy comes from Spanish saber which means “to know” or sabe which means “you know.”

[@BlackieNuff]

I'm obsessed with her laugh, her smile, her voice, her accent, the whole damn package, lol.

[@gabrielgama5146]

​@@mtpugh I've never looked up the entomology, but are you certain it developed from the Spanish form? It seems closer to the French "savoir." Either way, useful info, so please don't take this as a criticism.

[@mtpugh]

@@gabrielgama5146 No problem. According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, the etymology is this: ORIGIN late 17th century (as a verb, earliest in the form savee): via West African pidgin English, from Portuguese or Spanish saber 'know', from Latin sapere be wise (see sapient). I would imagine that Savoir also derives from the same Latin root.

[@bobc538]

Just after watching this movie One of our players in our weekly D&D game used the phrase "but you have heard of me."😂 We laughed our asses off.

[@StroggKingu]

Jack got himself undead when we took coins and threw them back one by one, except for one, that later as a skeleton played with for a moment. And for a corsets they aren't bad as costume makers make them for the actors, the proper ones are almost custom fit. And damn i like the tear drop when Barbossa says he feels cold. Norrington is a good man, until he won't but that's another story.

[@lloyderc]

Love these movies so much ♥️ These movies and some of my other favorite Johnny Depp movies, are “The Ninth Gate,” underrated movie imho, and “From Hell,” he’s such a great and versatile actor, loved seeing you enjoying rewatching this classic ♥️

[@quoniam426]

A mutineer is someone who commits mutiny, aka rebel against the commanding officer of a vessel/regiment and take command themselves for their own interest. In that respect, there is movie from the 90s called The Mutineers of the Bounty (or maybe just Bounty), retracing a real story of a British ship, HMS Bounty whose crew rebelled in the Pacific to stay around Tahiti and not suffer the voyage home. They finally decided to get back to England. Those wooden vessels were produced quite fast, about 6 months work for a working arsenal. Nowadays, recreating such a vessel is much longer because workers are very few to know that craftmanship and also they don't have the materials or the funds to do it fast. The Hermione frigate in France was recreated over 20 years of work and now will likely become ruin because no one wants to pay the maintenance ! In Antiquity, the galleys fleets could be built very fast, in a couple of months, a working arsenal with ressources and funds could produce about 250 ships ! "Savy" must come from the French "Vous savez..." (You know...) just like "Parley" comes from the French Parler (to speak).

[@charlesfrancis6894]

Johnny Depp does a brilliant English working class accent and now even lives in England. Your accent is also wonderful my dear.

[@arasakathermalmantisbladez9368]

Sweeny Todd, Public Enemies, Blow, Black Mass, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Once Upon A Time In Mexico. My favorite acting forJohnny Depp

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

21:13 Edward Scissorhands (1990), What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) and Sleepy Hollow (1999) are great Johnny Depp films! But honestly, there are almost too many to mention.

[@aBoyHasNoName87]

20:02 & 21:03 In the German audiotrack for the movie (which I think you understand) they always translated Jack's "Savvy?" with "Klar soweit?"

[@alejandromartinez1766]

Great choice for the reaction Miss Bisscute, in my opinion this is the best film of the saga.

[@j.j..jurado1429]

Adding an "arrgh!" on your thumbnail would've been hilarious 😂

[@zh2184]

@Bisscute question at 21:20 - Johnny Depp has such a great resume of roles. Capt. Jack Sparrow is his most entertaining character, but I do hope you have a chance to see the movie 'Blow' in the future. He was brilliant as the lead in that film.

[@BissFlix]

Got it

[@benschultz1784]

Amazing movie. Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush are iconic as Jack Sparrow and Barbossa. Savvy and Parley both come from French savoir and parler.

Captain Jack Sparrow... So charismatic, he's got me talking like a pirate, making crazy hand gestures with a touch of crazy-eyes and exaggerated body movements (many of which are fluid, not clumsy), and saying things like "Savvy?" and calling all the fine ladies "Love".

[@everlastingpass1on]

Pirates does not have much violence because they were not going for an R (adults only) rating. Remember Pirates of the Caribbean started as ride at Disneyland, which they decided to make into a movie, and ended up becoming a movie franchise. They wanted families to see these movies, so they showed very little blood, making Pirates the first PG13 movie made by Disney.

[@I_ll_beer_back]

The whole movie is stunning. Director Gore Verbinski, composer Klaus Badelt with his incredible score and cinematographer Dariusz Wolski have done a truly outstanding job. Plus the unique performance of every single actor. “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” is still just as much fun to watch over 20 years later (the film is from 2003) as it was back then. 🤩

20:02 Yes, savvy means “you get what I’m saying” or “do you understand?” Being savvy of something means having a good understanding of topic or concept (e.g. “he is very mathematically savvy” for someone who is knowledgeable about maths).

Apparently Mutineer translates into Romanian as either Razvratit or Rebel. I may be wrong.

To this day, I stand by the fact that Jack Sparrow's introduction as a character is the best in film history. No words need be spoken. Show, don't tell. You learn EVERYTHING you need to know about the character within 40 seconds of visual storytelling. 😘👌

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction like always Biss, and thanks for your reaction and honesty. And its funny you saying that you confuse some of the actresses. Thats why that in Star Wars the Queen Amidala decoy is this actress Keira Knightley she becomes famous for this role in Pirates of The Carabbean. They choose her because she is similiar to Natalie Portaman.

[@BissFlix]

Oh wow haha, never noticed her

[@dbugs58]

I really like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp fell in love with the Caribbean so much, but he actually bought an island there.

[@chaynebutler9572]

A "mutineer" is an insubordinate, someone who disobeys orders and seeks to overthrow the one in authority. It comes from the root word, "mutiny," like as in the case of Fletcher Christianson leading a mutiny against Captain Bligh, on the Bounty.

[@matthewcostello3530]

"Savey" is an informal adjective that means someone is shrewd, well-informed, or has a lot of practical knowledge. Synonyms of "savey" include "shrewd," "sharp," "astute," and "knowing". The word comes from the Latin verb sapere, which means "to be wise or knowing".

[@BlackieNuff]

Mutineer : one (usually of many) who commits mutiny (turning on one's captain or other leadership).

[@lunatikoniko1546]

"From hell " maybe can be one of the most underated rols that Depp did . excelent movie based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore ,is about a conspiracy with Jack The Ripper

[@ryanhodin5014]

18:20 Well, since you asked..... Dauntless, in the movie, was a first-rate ship of the line - The biggest and most powerful warship around, equivalent to a superdreadnought battleship a hundred years ago or to a modern supercarrier. The only first-rate that survives to this day is HMS Victory, which was built a little while after the Pirates movies are set, but not super long - Jack Sparrow, if he lived to die of old age, would very possibly have lived to see Victory come off the slipway (If I'm doing the math right, the 5th movie should take place about 7 years before Victory was laid down). Victory took almost six years from starting construction to floating for the first time (her keel was laid 23 July 1759, and she was floated out of drydock 7 May 1765). That said, about three years of that was just sitting out partially built to let the wood dry - Doing that was normal if the ship wasn't urgently needed, but Victory was especially not urgently needed since the war she was being built for ended, so she stayed that way extra long (which probably helped her survive to see the 21st century). So, it's somewhere around three years of actual work to build Victory, and probably about the same for Dauntless. Victory also used about 6000 trees to build, not to mention how many more have been used to fix her over the centuries (especially given she was basically entirely rotten at the end of her time outside of the drydock that's her permanent home now). These ships were massive for the time - They were less like ships with guns attached and more like an artillery battalion with some sails on top, and when they sailed into port they were probably the tallest thing in the city. Of course, modern ships dwarf them, but in-universe a ship like Dauntless would really be a tremendously impressive, and intimidating, vessel to find on the high seas.

[@dstrong86bluecoffee]

MADALINA -- There are five Jack Sparrow Pirate books that happen BEFORE the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Pirates of the Caribbean Legends of the Brethren Court is a series of five children's novels about Jack Sparrow. Before he became a pirate, Jack sailed for the East India Company. This book series takes place thirteen years before the film Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl The five novels are -- The Caribbean -- Rising in the East -- The Turning Tide -- Wild Waters -- Day of the Shadow (Thanks - Dave Strong)

The only problem I have with this otherwise excellent movie is the corset nonsense. Tight-lacing was *impossible* until the mid to late 19c when metal eyelets were invented. Even then it was incredibly rare. Corsets (and stays, which is what Elisabeth would have been wearing) were worn because they were an excellent support garment. Women of all classes wore them through a period of three hundred years. They were not torture devices. (Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.)

Another good performance by Johnny Depp, believe it or not, was as the gangster/bank-robber, John Dillinger, in "Public Enemies" (based on the true story of the actual gangster, back in the 1930's). Depp had almost perfectly-captured the spirit of the actual John Dillinger. He also did a good job as Inspector Abberline, in "From Hell," and as Ichabod Crane, in "Sleepy Hollow."

Actually, turning a boat upside down should trap air - but there's two things to remember. 1) You won't be able to see where you're going, so you'll need to make sure you are going the right direction before you leave the shore. 2) While the air is trapped under the boat, the boat will try to surface and you'll have to hold it carefully upside-down and hope that you have enough weight to walk along the bottom. Neither of these is a guarantee in deeper water. A sailing vessel like those portrayed required some depth.

[@BissFlix]

Gotcha, thanks

[@lazyperfectionist1]

14:50 "What is a mutineer?" Ah. Well that's a good question. See, the root word is "mutiny." A mutineer is someone who has committed mutiny, which means, in order to properly answer the question, "What is a mutineer?" one must first answer the question, "What is mutiny?" Mutiny is the word for an act of open rebellion against the proper authorities, especially by soldiers or sailors, against the officers supervising them. Tales of mutiny are _very_ popular in stories about pirates. It's an act of mutiny when the crew removes the captain from command and either kills him, sets him adrift in a lifeboat, or maroons him somewhere. This makes them all mutineers. So what they're showing us in this scene is that, at one time, Jack was Captain of the _Black Pearl,_ and the crew mutinied and removed him from command. This made them all mutineers.
