Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl | First Time Reaction

[@benschultz1784]

2 of the best on-screen pirates ever: Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa.

Or just let her watch and make up her own mind?

[@DimetriKhan]

I once saw a comment that referred to Commodore Norrington as a Jane Austen hero stuck in the wrong story and I've never been able to watch these movies without constantly thinking about it since.

[@4tr0phy]

He's such an interesting and nuanced character when contrasted with the caricatures and plot serving hollow shells he has to contend with. Jack and Barbossa are larger than life while Elizabeth and Will give great performances but have no real character to speak of. They're scheming and conniving pirates when it suits the plot, goofy clowns when it suits the plot, loyal and good upstanding citizens when it suits the plot. Norrington on the other hand demonstrates real, consistent, and genuinely moving character growth. It speaks volumes that, to me, the intended emotional moment of Will's line: "It's right here: between you and Jack" feels corny and unearned compared to Norrington's "I think we can afford to give him one day's head start." Even in the midst of his heartbreak and essentially being made the fool of to add insult to injury, he still has grown enough to see the right thing to do here and doesn't abuse his station to act out of anger or to get revenge. I believe these movies, especially the first, would be, pardon the phrasing, completely lost at sea without his grounding presence, and the contrast makes Jack's slapstick buffoonery all the more enjoyable.

[@marquisdelafayette-xe1ht]

@@marquisdelafayette-xe1ht Pro tip: when you assert a claim with no support, understand that to everyone else it sounds like dumb whining. If it was true that what I was saying was a blatant misunderstanding of the series, then it would be so much more powerful to explain HOW or IN WHAT WAY I misunderstood it. And intuitively we all know this. The fact that you have not done so indicates you cannot.

[@patrickcromwell7554]

As dark as this movie seems to get, Maple, remember one very important detail. It's a Disney movie. It will NEVER get higher than PG-13. The closest Disney ever got tona more adult rating was This and Gargoyles. And of course NOW there's MCU's Deadpool & Wolverine that's Rated R. But Gargoyles was definitely the first Disney project that was intended for teen viewers and not children.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

Loved Gargoyles. Definitely still worth a watch.

[@patrickcromwell7554]

I'm actually really surprised Maple had NO reaction to the exchange between Jack and Elizabeth on the island. Elizabeth: "So that's it?? You spent three days on the beach drinking Rum??" Jack: "Welcome to the Caribbean, Love!" I lost it the first time I heard that. lol.

[@Neptune781]

The best line of the series is hands down “but why’s the rum gone?!”

[@cbretschneider]

Hey gang! I always enjoy Maple's reactions. She always makes me laugh. Since she said she hasn't seen any Johnny Depp movies, besides the rest of the Pirates films, I'd love to see her reaction to some classics like Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Benny & Joon (great love story and hugely underappreciated in the reaction space), Blow, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Public Enemies, and Black Mass. Cheers guys!

[@Zenon0K]

35:20. I love this line. Because it would be an incredibly sailor/piratey thing to say because of maps back then. Often on maps you'll see the (mythical) sea screatures reported to be in these waters. The actual phrase "here be dragons" refers to this practice of either placing these purported creatures where they are said to be from or by placing/bordering the known/uncharted lands/waters with pictures of dragons. Basically the medieval equivilent of caution/warning/unknown dangers ahead signage.

[@k.delpino1124]

The 2nd Disney theme park attraction to become a film following The Country Bears (2001). 1 of 2 Disney films based on theme park attractions released in 2003, the other was The 'first' Haunted Mansion. 1 of 2 films in the same year that starred Johnny Depp. I never would've thought myself that something that was a ride could be a film. Pirates on film in any form, even in tone could be fun and adventurous as they should be. The direction, writing, scope, scale and then some to most people reinvented the summer blockbuster. The cast all around is great. Almost every kind of character you would expect in a genre like this. But Johnny Depp, an actor's actor is incomparable with CJS as his biggest role and in the biggest film of his career at the moment, winning several awards plus an first-ever Oscar nomination for his performance. Please continue on with the 4 sequels. They're lengthy films, but all are still exciting to watch.

[@FutayuriShironeko]

24:15 People not catching on to what Barbosa says here always makes me chuckle. "Waste not" in him not killing her has some mad dark implications when you consider that she would be lone woman on a ship with 50 dudes that can finally feel pain and pleasure after such a long time...

Gore Verbinski did an amazing job directing this movie. It feels campy at times but never too much. Other directors have a certain style but dont realize when enough is enough like Raimi and Waititi.

[@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.

...is Elizabeth cursed after she leaves the cave for the first time? She technically did pick up and take the gold back out of the cave... and just grabbing a piece gives Jack the curse without even leaving.

Fun fact: Johnny depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow was heavily inspired by Keith Richards.

[@shanialover]

I asked for a tight lace corset and my Dad gave me my first one on my 14th birthday! The best part was I had him and 4 brothers to make it as tight as possible every day. I have been wearing one every day since. Once I was on my own I can still count on any of them to come over to my house to tighten it if there is no other man around! If I have to I can use my makeshift method of hooking the laces on a doorknob and moving forward BUT that doesn't compare with a strong man making the laces as tight as possible! 😉😉👱‍♀👱‍♀👗👗👠👠❤❤

[@terenzo50]

I love how Depp based his character on Keith Richards. I think the movie really bothered Michael Crichton though who came up with Pirate Latitudes as an effort to re-establish that pirates were truly disgusting, horrible people rather than the loveable goofballs in this franchise. Look up what happened to Port Royal in 1692.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

I remember thinking something similar. Like are we comfortable with ret-conning these dudes legacy into fun anti establishment heroes? haha

[@xhighone]

Something tells me she isn't cultured in theater. It's a show. Be entertained. This isn't' a universe where everything is100% realistic. Skeletons with a sheet bouncing her in the air, or the guy who fell into the dock hole, or the guy who swung on the rope to The Interceptor and was way off... are all theatrical embellishments. Think of this as more a theater production rather than a super-serious realistic interpretation of magical cursed pirates.

Honestly this movie is contender for the top ten movies of all time. Which might seem like an insane thing to say, but for me its just the perfect blend of impressive sets, costume design, serious and campy acting in equal amounts, humour, action, music and just overall fun. The sequels? They are okay. Nothing compared to the original.

[@andromidius]

Oh, and a few answers to follow. Their eyes are yellow because of jaundice, likely caused by heavy drinking and a poor diet. Their teeth are awful because it was pre-modern dental care and scurvy from a vitamin deficiency - especially common with sailors due to lack of fresh fruit and vegetables and also a heavy sugar intake from rum and chewing sugarcane.
