He visibly is not d‘accord with Jack‘s eventual execution, because Jack did keep his word, and was once again punished for a good deed (like saving Elizabeth in the beginning). He also is the only one That _doesn’t_ force himself on Elizabeth (except for Will, of course) despite clearly being interested in her. He also accepts that she loves Will, and doesn’t makes advances to her again even later down the line. He does what he does with the firm belief he is bettering the life of others, and doing everything to his own personal benefit like literally everyone else.

For the record, about the after-credits scene, the curse is only on Jack the monkey. When Will put the 2 coins back into the chest, the curse effectively "reset". Anyone who had the curse was freed from it. Barbossa and any other pirates who died are still dead. The monkey taking the coin only re-cursed itself, and nobody else.

[@marcoftheninja6278]

25:05 Barbossa's obsession with that apple is because, thanks to the curse they can't sleep, feel or taste anything. They are literally undead... unable to feel pleasure... They are probably starving and tired... A pirate's desire is usually treasure, but Barbossa's desire is just to be able to taste and eat that apple... It's his drive, his ultimate motivation to go on...

[@BR.Bricks]

Exactly

[@garyballard179]

Technically, it's an in-joke about the ride. Initially, the pirates were chasing the women on the ride, but that was deemed "problematic," so they changed the women to waitresses, carrying plates of food - and the pirates are now ostensibly chasing the women to get the plates of food. 🤦

@@SingularNinjular in all aspects your right, a normal ship with its sails full of holes should be MUCH slower then one without, but were not talking about a normal ship.

[@Arrynek01]

This movie is a tour de force of world-class writing. Take simply the scene where Will brings the sword to the mansion. In two minutes you know EVERYTHING about the two main characters. They like each other. Neither is willing to admit it. The dad is a good dad and likes Will because he knows "his place" which also tells you he's traditional. And in the next two minutes you get to know everything you need to know about Jack. From there on it's just a wild ride. Also... The genius of Jack. Elisabeth falls from the lookout at the start of the company. He saw her fall and survive between the rocks. So, when he's escaping at the end, he trips on purpose and falls down to hit the same spot she did. Were he to jump, he'd die.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

There are scenes that had unscripted bits for sure. I heard that the scene where the monkey runs off with the medallion, and gives it to Barbossa he says "We named the monkey Jack." and it smiles... the smile was unscripted the monkey just did it so they went with that take. Loved seeing you react to this.

[@Paalleujo]

Wasn’t that bit with Will breaking the candle thing also unscripted?

[@Blackferret66]

All the main characters are likeable, in some way. The governor could have been this strict, hard-nosed father, but he actually loves and wants to understand and help his daughter. The commodore has conflicts with Sparrow and Will, but he's an honorable man, and doesn't let his duty get too much in the way of that. Even Barbossa, as much of a villain as he is, is affable and sympathetic, to some extent, because of the curse.

[@randomcourier]

The thing about Barbossa is that although yes he is the antagonist in this film, he is not evil. Barbossa upholds his word whenever he makes a deal, is not Cruel or despicable, he is a man although not bound by law, still lives by a code. the entirety of the movie, this man is trying to rid himself and his crew of a curse that they(him and crew) inflicted upon themselves.

[@BogeyTheBear]

The pirates may be undead, but they don't _act_ like zombies or the like. They're not slaves to some supernatural force or driven to spread their curse to others like vampires. They behave like ordinary men trying to deal with an extraordinary problem.

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

The thing with the boat underwater would _partially_ work. You can flip something like a cup or bucket upside down and push it under water to trap an air pocket in it. That's how diving bells work. But since air bubbles always rise up to the surface (coupled with the fact that boats float), Jack and Will wouldn't be able to walk on the sea floor like that without something to anchor them down.

[@YSongCloud]

NO, it doesn't work at all. The buoyancy of the wood combined with the buoyancy of the air bubble would cause the boat to float, not be able to be held at the bottom. Mythbusters even put it to the test and showed that, which it was great for the story, it was impossible to do simply due to the physics involved.

[@VicePresidentAllen]

It's a cool concept but the amount of strength it would take to pull it down is far above two men.

[@byronus1898]

Lol dude it definitely does not work wtf😂 only way you’re keeping that boat down is if you’re a thousand pounds or wearing cinder blocks as shoes

[@GuardianOwl]

Not that large of a pocket of air, no, that’s creative license. But it would be possible to have a very small pocket of air. Turn a cup upside down and press it against the surface of the water and there is a ton of resistance. But tilt it to the side to let some water in, and then press down again and it takes much less force to hold it underwater.

[@draug7966]

If i remember correctly there is also a scene in that one where the pirates swim under the enemy ship to sneak up on it from the other side, i guess Barbossa's crew walking on the bottom under the Dauntless might be a reference to that as well.

Just a quick correction about the end credits scene with the monkey. They fully lifted the curse at the end with Jack and Will returning their pieces to the chest. The monkey was also freed from the curse. But the end shows the curse starting over, but only on the monkey. It only affects those that take from the chest. And since the curse was fully lifted, it just restarted on the monkey when it removed one of the medallions. None of the pirates were made immortal again.

She also had to have her mother be on set with her at all times because she was 18 at the time of filming the first Pirates film.

Also Jack (the monkey) taking out a coin from the chest at the end only put the curse back onto himself, that didn't re-curse any other pirates or bring anyone back.

"Why would you waste all that?" That is awesome. I love you.

The reason the pearl is so fast according to the lore is because it sunk but Jack made a deal with Davy Jones to raise it from depths not only is it the fastest ship in the Caribbean but it’s the only ship that can outrun the Flying Dutchman

Spoilers, yo.

[@TheLastMountainman]

@@Galiant2010 you right but none of that is in the movies there’s slight nods and references to it

The jail scene, with the pirates whistling for the dog -- that joke makes a lot more sense, if you've been on the Pirates ride.

[@SDfan2002]

Movies like this and it’s sequels… are the reasons why I love movies more than anything else…. Okay aside from my family. I literally listen to the music from Pirates of the Caribbean every single day.

Jack Sparrow 🤝 DBZA Nappa "I am hilarious and you will qoute *EVERYTHING* I say. 😂

The commodore is a chad. He sees Elizabeth is not interested and moves on immediately

Sword choreography by Bob Anderson. If you have a favourite movie sword fight from any movie made between 1970 and 2005, you can probably thank Bob Anderson for it. Star Wars, Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Mask of Zorro, all the Lord of the Rings movies…

The Internet does not like the next two movies, but I'll say it. They're SO GOOD. It's a perfect trilogy.

[@Bazzkorg]

Still one of my favorite movies of all time. I remember seeing it in theaters when I was a senior in high school, also around Lord of the Rings, which is why Orlando Bloom as Will Turner stood out to me. Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrows is utter perfection. Originally Jack Sparrow was just a guy with a pierced ear and a couple of rag tag clothing, but Johnny Depp came up with all the other weird stuff in his costume. And as for the drunken walk, it was based on Keith Richards from Rolling Stones.

4:00 children have always been a common sight on ships and are regularly employed as they are essential to running a ship whether they are legal or illegal (pirate) ventures. Children (10-14 yrs old) at this era (especially poor ones) are already expected to work and most get hired as cabin boys who are charged with cleaning, serving sailors, and running errands for the officers. Others are tasked as powder monkeys who roll gunpowder barrels and help load the cannons. Wealthier children are commissioned as midshipmen or navy cadets who serve under the captain and learn about becoming a naval officer. Its a different time than now but such is life for them back then,

This is my favorite movie. The action, the adventure, the humor, the world. Perfection! I have the same tattoo as Jack sparrow.

[@scottlaxton2391]

The black pearl was so fast because it was a ship that was burned and sunk. Jack had a later character magically raise it from the depths to be his.

Jack Sparrow ❌ Captain Jack Sparrow ✅

[@promnightdumpsterbaby9553]

Norrington was never "taking care of Elisabeth." Lol He's a naval officer 🤣

[@tawneerei4527]

So fun to rewatch these with you ❤ absolutely adore these movie and it’s hands down one of Johnny depps as well as Orlando blooms most iconic rolls 👌🏻

[@lesliechan6242]

I got to know Jack Davenport (Commodore Norrington) from the British sitcom Coupling (it was an awesome show btw), where he was a meek and insecure guy. His role in this series was a total 180° to me.

Yarr on your way for some fun adventure! 🏴‍☠️

My dad would say, “Ahoy there, me hearties!”

[@SapphireBoy26]

Thanks for watching the end credits scene. A lot of reactors miss it. Keep in mind, each of the five films has an end credits scene. A lot of people will tell you that not all the films are good, but I personally love all five of them. The third and the fifth films have the best scores, in my humble opinion.

[@gpeddino]

I love this movie. It's the perfect balance between comedy and adventure with a touch of horror and romance, great casting, visuals, score... And Jack Sparrow is one of the most iconic characters in cinema.

[@Tantalus010]

"Why roast him? He just saved your love interest." You just answered your own question. The Commodore thinks Jack could be competition for Elizabeth.

[@stevensauer8539]

It is an absolutely iconic soundtrack. Years back I saw a symphonic metal band called Kamelot play a concert. Mid-show, while the rest of the band took a short break, their keyboard player played the main theme to Pirates. Film scores often lend themselves really well to symphonic metal. The band Epica doing the Imperial March from Star Wars is another great example.

M favourite cameo (if you can call it that) is the Harbour Master that welcomes Jack to Port Royal - played by Guy Siner, who is most famous for his role as Lt. Gruber on the comedy series Allo! Allo! (a cult classis for many of us).

[@MorbidCrow666]

Him and his little tank

[@dinsism]

This is one of my fave films of ALL TIME! Love it to death! ❤
