PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Welcome to my first-time watching as we react to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). What an incredible thrill ride this film was! The set pieces were incredible, the action was exhilarating and the cast was phenomenal. Director Gore Verbinski did a fantastic job with this.
In this action-packed Disney classic, we follow the story of a savvy pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and a daring blacksmith that goes by the name Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) who team up to rescue the governor's daughter Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) from cursed pirates. From epic sword fights to supernatural mysteries, we'll explore the magic that makes this film a beloved masterpiece.
Geoffrey Rush does such a great job as our main antagonist. His Captain Hector Barbossa leaves a lasting impression and is what I was hoping for when coming into this pirate tale.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the fantastic score, great action sequences, our amazement with the undead pirates to normal pirate transitions and why we believe Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is an incredible adventure film.

If you haven't seen El Mariachi, Desperado, or Once Upon A Time in Mexico, could you guys watch that trilogy. And then,4 Rooms.
Oh y'all should do more Pirates of the Caribbean franchise I grew up watching Johnny Depp at Jack Sparrow why is the rum always gone
@@easonstrickland6372 I feel like it would've been better as an anthology featuring Captain Jack Sparrows stories (ala Indiana Jones) rather than an series.
I 1,000% love you two!!!
can you react to the movie "The Edge"? Its about 3 people who got lost in the forest and are being hunted by a bear
Not diluting Depps' performance, but Geoffrey Rush was amazing in this film as well.. he is the personification of Barbosa.
Geoffrey Rush is fantastic. He personifies that pirate character that most people would imagine. I wholeheartedly believe he would nail a similar role in a more serious pirate film. I find he's often overlooked when people discuss great actors. He's excellent in The King's Speech.
Both Depp and Rush made the film. They breathed so much life into their characters and became instant audience favorites.
Geoffrey Rush’s performance made this film even more memorable. Giving us such ab interesting take on the traditional pirate. Love how he delivers some of the lines where it makes it clear he’s quite an intelligent man despite appearances.
having done research on the period of the Golden Age of piracy with stories about the most notorious pirates, Geoffrey Rush had it nailed!
@@romeywirtz1219dude spoiler cmon
Johnny Depp was born to play Jack Sparrow, the soundtrack for this film is spectacular
Absolutely incredible performance, and the soundtrack is truly iconic!!!
I remember when Johnny studied CHARLIE CHAPLIN to use for his CHARACTER in one of HIS VERY FIRST MOVIES! He was GREAT! And STILL IS!
@@strangebipedIndeed. Not only Charlie Chaplin but also he inspired another character
Wish it would be released on vinyl!
The main theme is a slight variation on the beginning theme from Gladiator (when fighting the Germanic barbarians). One of those things you never notice unless you watch the films in close succession. Definitely better utilized here.
This film was released in 2003, and Fellowship of the Rings in 2001. Hard to believe that they made better films 20+yrs ago than they are today!
Miss this kind of tone and stories! LOTR is such an amazing trilogy. Wish we had films like these coming out.
for real. with very few exceptions, movies are boring as hell these days.
They were making just as many flops in the early 2000's as they are now, I assure you.
The way I mentioned those 2 franchises as some of the best, with LOTR being the best ever before seeing your comment in just *chef kiss
The main difference is that so many movies were passion projects. There was more focus on telling stories then there was making money. Sure they wanted to make money but there was more of a willingness to take risks.
Norrington is the true model of gentleman, competent, polite, smart, accomplished. a little smug, but admits when he's beaten, and is not vicious or vindictive to his enemies. and when he realises Elizabeth truly does not feel the same as him, he accepts it and walks away.
I agree. He was actually a man of integrity within his own culture and world.
Thank god some ppl have appreciation for the best character in the trilogy
Yea it’s a good version of a movie love triangle with three mature/adult members.
Norrington is the best Anti-hero, he is indeed a great man with upstanding morals but because he is trying to arrest our beloved Captain Jack Sparrow (Albeit for justified reasons)
we have to call him not the bad guy but a Anti-hero. Mr. Norrington is not Sadistic, ill-intended or evil, but just a man of the law doing what he is supposed to.
Same. Norrington is underappreciated for sure.
Rush played Barbossa as perfect as Depp played sparrow
Geoffrey Rush is such a talented actor and was just spectacular as Barbosa!
He ended up a favorite!
i cannot imagine those two roles being played by anyone else!
The pirate Odd Couple
Agreeeeed
Orlando Bloom was so busy during the early 2000's: LOTR, Pirates of the Carribean, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven...
Add troy to that list
@@hushsounds6486 it's there
IKR? But than he liked dissapperead from big movie totally. Like, when was the last time you've seen him on a big screen?
@@vladislavivanov2334 The Hobbit: The Battle of the 5 Armies is the last thing I recall. Oh, and he also played as the duke of Buckingham in another 3 Musketeers movie.
@@vladislavivanov2334that happens w/ a lot of actors, they’ll be everywhere for a few years then they disappear. Just like Josh Hartnett, Cuba Gooding Jr, Shannon Elizabeth, Kirsten Dunst, etc.
Elizabeth burning the rum has traumatized Jack more than anything else in his life 😂
And that’s saying something because captain jack Sparrow has seen some shit.
Jack in Dead Man's Chest when meeting Elizabeth again: "Hide the rum."
"Whose side is Jack on?"
"At the moment...?"
No better way to sum up Jack Sparrow. 🤣
LOLLLL
Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow was a creation totally his own. He took inspiration from The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards when he was developing the character (keep that in mind for later), as he felt that pirates were the rockstars of their time. His performance was so unusual and eccentric that it scared the bejeezus out of Disney when they first saw it. But ultimately, the performance was so well received by audiences and critics that it earned Depp an Oscar nomination and became his most iconic role. Jack Sparrow was an original character that didn't appear on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney, but he was later added to the ride and I've even heard stories of Depp himself showing up at Disney Land to play Jack Sparrow on the ride.
Hell yeah! Good for Depp for taking the risk and trying something new. It definitely paid off!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsyeah, he's also frequently "put on" Jack to visit sick kids in the hospital
I’ve heard that it was more the flamboyance than eccentricity that had them scared, if you know what I mean, unfortunately. So glad it played out as it did and we got THIS Jack. Can’t imagine him any other way.
@@JakkFrost1 He also visited a local school in character as Jack while filming one of the sequels in England. Seems like he truly enjoyed playing Jack Sparrow. I can't blame him at all, because it seems like incredible fun to play Jack.
Orlando Blooms first major role was LOTR. Then he rolled right into this franchise. Dude won the lottery.
Johnny Depp confirmed he took some Keith Richards inspiration for Jack's humor. "If I see a civilian, I'll let you know" has the same energy as "I don't have a problem with drugs, I have a problem with the police"
Keith is in one of the sequels.
@@treetopjones737 He's in two of them.
That first scene of Jack arriving on port with a sinking ship and yet casually riding it to his desired destination is such a great analogy of who this character is 😂 calm and collected in the most unbelievable of situations, and riding any sinking situation to his desired destination .... Great film 🎥
The writers of PIRATES 1-3 used to run a screenwriting website and forum for almost 15 years where they gave writing advice and made all their script available for people to read. The two guys are the loveliest dudes and had an amazing pedigree, even though almost nobody really hires them anymore these days.
LITTLE KNOWN TRIVIA - the first PIRATES film was actually a heavily reworked pitch for a Spielberg produced (and maybe directed) MONKEY ISLAND film that never got off the ground. Yeah, it almost happened -- Spielberg wanted to do a video game to movie adaptation and was a fan of the game, Lucasfilm was going to make it with Amblin and the two guys who wrote this movie were hired to put together a treatment. When the movie didn't happen, the writers went back and tried to pitch a movie based on the two things that MONKEY ISLAND was based on: the Disneyland ride and the Tim Powers zombie-pirates novel "On Stranger Tides" (which was very very very loosely adapted into the 4th PIRATES movie and not very well).
Terry Rossio, one of the writers, even says that Will Turner and Jack Sparrow are basically Guybrush Threepwood split down the middle; they took the character they pitched and just gave half of the qualities to one character and half to another. Barbossa is, very much, LeChuck with the named swapped out in terms of character and dialogue. In PIRATES 2 and 3, more unused MONKEY ISLAND content, scenes and even imagery from the games end up being repurposed into the trilogy (Tia Dalma is obviously the Voodoo Lady for starters).
That's interesting to know. Though I find Barbosa has much more interesting goals than LeChuck. Or perhaps more interesting and compelling desires is a better way to put it.
Sea of Thieves was inspired by PoTC, at least in theme, so that's really cool to learn considering that Sea of Thieves has a cross-over with both PoTC and Monkey Island
As much as I would love to see a Monkey Island movie, I don't think the spirit of that game would translate well into live action. At most I could see it as an animated feature where you could get away with the kind of ridiculousness that story requires.
Funny...I just played the Monkey Island content in Sea of Thieves last week.
"Why's the rum gone?!!!"😅
His worry and disbelief during that scene is hilarious. He can’t believe anybody would do such a thing 😂
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yeah, it is blasphemy 🤣
This line was so great the joke was actually carried over to other movies in the franchise.
don't want to say more so I don't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the next 2 movies.
Friday night at a comicon
They taking the rum to the Isengard
“There’ll be no living with her after this.”
This movie is full of quotes that my whole family continues to use to this day.
You’ve no manner of luck at all…🤣🤣👍
the fact that johnny depp got his first oscar nomination for this film still kills me. so well-deserved and such a robbery.
"Ye best start believin' in ghost stories, Miss Turner.... Yer in one!" has been one of my favourite quotes for years. Great line
rumor is, Orlando Bloom, during the shooting of the underwater scene became so disoriented with lack of oxygen, he began speaking elvish from LoTR
He also had to hide a tat he got during filming of LotR.
Did he really?
Hans zimmer on the music you can never go wrong his live performance in prague is just out of this world
Zimmer didn't have time to do this film. He loved the concept so much he wrote a couple of tunes and gave them to Klaus Badelt, including the iconic main theme, for which Zimmer was rightly credited in the subsequent films (on which he did have time to be lead composer).
The best of all the Pirates films imo, it's got just the right amount of fantasy to reality, and focuses on the piracy and seamanship more than the crazy magical stuff and what have you.
If you liked this you'd love Master & Commander
Oh gotcha! I (Denise) am still super excited to check out the rest in the franchise and see where they take it! Thank you for the recommendation, we are adding it to our list!
@@OfficialMediaKnightsI'll second the Master and Commander recommendation. Tonally it's very different, but it's widely considered to be THE most accurate depiction of sailing in this age and era and is just a great movie in it's own right. Russell Crowe kills it
Definitely better than Cutthroat Island (1995). A movie so bad, that it bankrupt the movie studio. The same studio which gave us Terminator 2, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, The first three Rambo movies, Stargate, The Doors, Air America, and sooooo many more movies. Disney was nervous about this movie, because the failure of Cutthroat Island was still fresh in their memory. Ahh...back in the day when Disney cared about making good movies.
@@TheGoIsWin21 I come from a long line of mariners, the sea is in our blood, and seeing Master & Commander was just like seeing all the stories I'd been told growing up come to life, it was magical.
I knew I wasn't scrolling this far for nothing. Master & Commander is a must-watch. The cinema experience was out of this world!
Can you believe that Keira Knightely was only 17 years old when they started filming this? Orlando Bloom was 25, so her mother had to be present during the kissing scenes.
Great reaction! ✌️
Ngl the two british soldiers who argue are my favorite reoccurring characters of the franchise
Geoffrey rush is insane in this franchise
He steals the show every time he shows up!
YES!!!! POTC!! I would say the same as Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow says. (Car-i-bea-n.) Pirates back then used to be superstitious, back then to have a woman on board is basically unheard of because the crew would throw woman overboard to not have bad luck. Kierra Knightley was actually 17 when casted and 18-19 when the film was done. Orlando Bloom was doing this film after LOTR- FOTR he was having very busy years. And the doing both sequels of LOTR and POTR at the same time. You can actually freeze frame on the duel between Jack and Will up on the air crossing blades you can actually see Orlandos tattoo on his left wrist written in Elvish. Mythbusters tried that stunt of having a upside ship into water for a pocket of air, and turns out to be plausible if you have bigger boat and less water. You'll find that alot of Jacks lines are improvised because Johhny felt like it was in character to say so. Disney also hated Johnny take on Captain JS being a drunk, they wanted more of honorable pirate hero but Johnny stood by guns and said no a d just wait to see how people reacted to the character, and he was right. If you think about it this curse is the worst part of immortality. What's the point of living forever if you cant enjoy life? 😮
We were thinking about this the other day! Orlando Bloom must’ve had his schedule back to back! Glad he got to be in some of the best adventure/fantasy films out there. Also the underwater boat thing is super cool. Taking advantage of physics all the way ❤️😄
@@OfficialMediaKnights He is lucky as hell when he graduated from his performing arts school just the right time to get his first role as Legolas, then getting this second role as Will Turner. I suppose he should thanking his parents for having him the year he was born in. 😉. Hey if anyone's crazy enough to try out these movie stunts it's Mythbusters.
@@OfficialMediaKnights do more Pirates of Caribbean franchise on the channel as well
You know there were woman pirates, right? Like Ann Bony or Mary Read?
@Opi-ze8tn YES but like I said rare, and the ocean is huge, the chances are other pirates probably thought it was just another tale at sea are astronomically high. Not unless those woman pirates get a reputation of being a ruthless, crazy as the most known pirates for example like Blackbeard. Not fair but that's how the world worked back then. It is what it is.
"Oh that medallion is sick.. I want one.."
😂 You don't say..?
13:30- My favorite character in the movie is Norington. For his calm and collect demeanor, dry humor, competence and bravery.Thought I doubt there are many other people that share this view.
He's my favorite too! I love the scene that he respects Elizabeth's wish and lets her go with Will and he takes it so gracefully. Such a great guy.
His arc through the next few movies made me love him so much. I disliked him at first, but he grew on me
He, Rush and Drpp share my top spot at different points in the film.
Its crazy how the mid 2000s had some of the best stories, best acting, and best CGI. Pirates, LOTR, transformers, harry potter, star wars. So many classics
Putting Transformers in there with the rest of them and calling it a classic is .... ballsy 😂
@HombreGermany by mid 2000s standards I'd call it a classic in it's own right. Everybody remembers the first Transformers. CGI in the Transformers franchise has always been good. The later ones dont hold up as well but those first couple were great, not perfect, but good movies imo.
Johnny Depp is such a GREAT actor. He is so skilled. His ability to vary through characters through his years. ABSOLUTELY wonderful....yet shame the pain he goes through with drugs and other people. Dude is an absolute gem.
One thing you guys should know about this movie in case you already don’t, is that movie is based on the ride. Not the other way around. The og Pirates of the Caribbean ride was opened at Disneyland in 1967. And was one of the last rides Walt Disney himself had any input on.
Commodore Norrington to me has always been the most underrated and underappreciated characters in this trilogy. Especially as the movies go on. Honestly my favourite character.
I think it's great when reactors are up front about who has and hasn't watched the content they're reacting to. I get pretty miffed when I'm halfway through and then they say something like "I forgot about that" when I thought I was watching a first timer. Thanks for being cool. You're both great.
+1 on that, rewatch are just NOT as fun ... if one of them has seen it but not the other I'm still cool with that though
Why do I feel like these are the BEST reactors for this reaction? I love the Easter eggs and details that you all catch that many other reactors miss, also your knowledge of writers/directors/composers and your view point as writers. Can’t wait for this! ❤
That means the world to both of us. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to say something nice. You rock! ❤️
My favourite reactors too... all the others I now click "do not recommend channel".
I love how these guys respond to each other and have a great time. Always lifts my spirits if I'm down! And it's made me watch some movies again, and made me watch other movies for the first time.
I love that Jack (sometimes) walks like he’s drunk or tipsy, great physical comedy from depp
Only on land, as he has "sea legs" he's more used to the motion of the waves than the stillness of land.
He's so used to being on ships that being on Land actually messes with his balance
Man this trilogy was the last time Disney's budget made sense as these sets and visuals hold up so well compared to the last decade of Disney content.
As a kid Elizabeth was fascinated by pirates, that’s why she knew about parley 😊 Also all the POTC movies have end credit scenes!
Barbosa's final lin. "I feel......cold" is one of the hardest hitting lines in the movie all those years trying to find the medallions to break the curse he finally does and his greatest rival basically beats him to the finish line
"STOP BLOWIN' HOLES IN MY SHIP!!" Best line ever.
The French verb, parler (pronounced "par-lay") means "to speak". The question, "Parlez-vous Anglais?" means, "Do you speak English?". To "parler" with someone means to have an official conversation with someone, or in the Pirate Code, to have an official negotiation with the captain.
Incidentally, there is a social media app called "Parler", but everyone pronounces it wrong. When you consider the origin and etymology of the word, it's actually a clever name for an app designed to allow people to "speak" to the social realm.
But ignorant people pronounce it wrong.
I'm sure everyone knows, but, just in case...
On the first day of shooting, when Depp started acting...the director called "cut" and pulled Depp aside and asked him, "What the hell are you doing? You're supposed to be a pirate"
Depp said, "Give me to the end of the day. If you don't like it, I'll make a new character" (I've also seen interviews where Depp said 3 days) By the end of the day, the director told Depp, "Ok, I get it."
The movie never would have been so good if Depp had been, "Arrrr, matey...there she blows." (Traditional pirate)
Jack: "You will always remember the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!"
Blacksmith: "Hold my bottle."
Depp was Nomanated for Best Actor at the Oscars for this role. Pretty rare for this kind of movie.
Fun fact: if you rewatch the film, notice that Geoffrey Rush is pretty much always on the left side of the screen when we he shares a shot with one of the other leads. Director Gore Verbinski said that Rush specifically asked if things could be staged this way because he knew that people tend to read an image from left to right, and being on the left would be the only way he’d actually be seen when sharing the screen with Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley or Orlando Bloom!
Also, at the time POTC came out, pirate films were seen as box office poison (the last big-budget pirate movie, Cutthroat Island, had bankrupt an entire studio!), so what was Disney doing, making a pirate film based on a damn theme park ride?! Were they mad? And what was Johnny Depp, an actor mostly known for offbeat or independent movies, doing as the main star? It had disaster written all over it… but everyone was forgetting one very important thing... he’s Captain Jack Sparrow!
Fun fact, when shooting the upside down underwater boat scene, Orlando Bloom was disoriented from lack of oxygen and started speaking in elvish thinking he was shooting LOTR.
Source: Trust me bro.
In which BTS or video do they discuss that?
@@keithg460 are you serious?
This is actually bullshit.
The Mythbusters actually tried to replicate the Boat scene. It's physically impossible to hold a boat, upside down, with an air bubble like that. The buoyancy of the Boat would rip off Depp and Bloom's arms if they tried.
The only possible way to do this shot would have been to have the Boat still at the surface, have a hole in the top, that way the air would escape to allow them to carry the boat under the water.
Depp and Bloom would have a small can of air and a mask to shoot the scene of them carrying the boat under the water.
You can see evidence of this in the film itself. The little air bubbles floating out of the top of the boat
There was never a lack of oxygen for them, he was not disoriented, and he wasnt speaking elvish nor thinking he was in LOTR. Thats some weird ass headcanon.
I can't believe some people don't get that this is a joke 💀💀
Back when Disney really was still class of the world. This is a prime candidate for the perfect movie; everything about it is just *chef's kiss*!
The fencing was choreographed by industry legend Bob Anderson, who also choreographed movies like Highlander, The Princess Bride, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the Mask of Zorro. As a choreographer myself, I've always admired his style. Especially the Princess Bride, one of the most entertaining duels in cinema, for my money :)
"This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow"
Captain of The cursed Black Pearl
Did you know that In this movie you will notice there are actors and sets. A truly wonderful film!
Ah this trilogy is so much fun 😊
my only gripe with the first one is the corset scenes… the more I get to know dress history of the time (which was 1600/1700‘s) the more I have come to realise that what she would have been wearing wasn’t even called a corset, but a stays. And it wouldn’t have been near that restrictive as they are depicting it in the movie. Its main job was to support not only the bust but also the heavy skirt layers, its not until much later in the 1800’s that tight lacing becomes a real issue with the rich ladies of the time…
In my own headcanon it is the medallion that causes her to have a difficulty of breathing, not the stays. I know it’s not a perfect headcanon but it helps me getting through those scenes 😅
Ha! Love it. Adding some of your own personal lore to justify some of the writing 😁 Thank you for the insight!
@@OfficialMediaKnights don’t know if anyone has said it yet, but Hans Zimmer is the composer for this movie 😎💜
Not only a phenomenal movie, but also one of the very best movie trilogies! Don't sleep on parts 2 & 3! 🏴☠♥
One of my all time favorites. Watched it so many times I've notice new things many times over. Like the way Capt Jack walks on land and how he walks on ship. He walks as if it's his first time walking on land, but on ship he walks perfectly normal.
Every casting in Pirates of the Caribbean is perfect seriously
33:47 this line is just brilliant. It actually makes you feel for the villain, and the delivery by Jeffrey Rush was absolutely incredible.
Jack Sparrows first Scene is THE BEST Charackter Introduction ever made on Film 😂👌
Absolutely!
The priates who say " 'ello puppet" and "you know nothing from hell" I met years ago! super nice dudes! I've also sailed on the Interceptor ship in the movie. In real life, it's the Lady Washington.
Never would've known Lee Arenberg was American. And he was apparently Grumpy in Once Upon A Time.
By the way, the reason the pirates were able to recover all of the treasure is that the curse allowed them to track it, at least when it touches the ocean. As seen when Elizabeth falls into the water. Possibly the curse even encourages and assists in the recovery (see - wind changing to bring the Pearl into port rapidly). It may even have been responsible for the attack on Will's ship as a child - they felt the call of the medallion.
Every time you guys post a new video you continue to surprise me with callbacks to films that you guys watch I haven’t seen in a long time and your reactions are always hilarious, genuine and good I find myself rewatching them again as well
Thank you for the massive compliment! It makes us extremely happy to hear you are enjoying these ❤️
As much as I was super stoked to see you guys watch this…the second film is the one that I am most excited to see you guys react to honestly! It’s one of those rare times that the middle film of a trilogy is my absolute favorite and I know that I am not alone in that regard for sure! I just can’t freaking wait to see her reaction in particular…especially when it comes to Jones’s character and of course his absolutely jaw dropping cgi that is still amazing to behold ffs!! So please…imma need that reaction like, IMMEDIATELY my dudes! 😅😉👍
in Deadpool 2 when Domino say her power is "Luck" Jack Sparrow was the first thing i thought of
Denise missing the significance of what Barbosa meant by "waste not" after his explanation on the ship was kind of adorable but I don't think most people were expecting even the implications of what Barbosa was saying in a "family friendly" movie like this.
There is a saying "waste not - want not", which means "don't waste anything for no reason". Could be wrong, though, not a native speaker 😅
And a fun fact for you, Denise: Curse of the Black Pearl was originally ment to be the *only* Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But with the rep, and immediate massive Cult Following, they decided to make two more movies, five years later, back-to-back.😁
When I hear the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean I can only see Maximus in the Coleseum. I find it so funny that Hans Zimmer used this exact theme once before in a big movie and thought "hmm, people have not appreciated it enough, let's try it again"
He has used it many more times. Muppet Treasure Island and Blue Planet II are other examples.
I love how alive the populated sets feel. It breathes life into this world. The port, the town, Tortuga--there's so many details in the set design and extras busy at work!
One of the things I very much appreciated from this film. The attention to detail in the set design is incredible. Truly magical how they bring this world to life!
@4:16 “He’s a miniature pirate just like she’s a miniature woman.” 🤣
The story writer commented that the Cursed pirates don't actually feel "Nothing", just nothing good, or that they desire, and instead the only thing they can feel is everything that makes them miserable, mainly Pain. That's why they respond to having hot coals dumped on em, getting stabbed, punched, etc. After all, it's supposed to be a Curse, and what kind of curse would make you numb entirely but also practically immortal? Especially when the intention of the curse is that all you will ever know is anguish for eternity?
god i miss movies like pirates, you can just feel that everyone cared. the writing, casting, production and performances were amazing.
So, heres a bit of trivia I've learned through a number of ladies that work in making costumes for Ren Fairs and do research into period clothing.
A properly fitted and made Corset is actually no more restrictive than a modern day Bra.
I emphasize "properly made and fitted" here. The reason corsets have a reputation for being tight is two fold.
One is laziness on the part of production companies. For a corset to be properly fitted, it needs be custom made to fit the exact body shape of the intended wearer. Production companies are often unable or unwilling to spend the extra money to properly fit the actress into the dress, often leading to them being too small.
Second part comes from misuse in more modern times. Tightlacing was never really the intended use, and didn't really come around until closer to the World Wars.
The best part of all of this?
According to Keira Knightley herself, the corset in the film was actually _too big_ and they had to.... uh.... push them around to make it look right, and they eventually gave up and went "Good Enough." 😂
Yes!
This is a fun and epic film franchise!
Originally Steven Spielberg was going to direct the film, but was too busy working on MINORITY REPORT and Catch Me If You Can, both released in 2002
Hugh Jackman, Michael Keaton, Steve Martin, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Matthew McConaughey, Robert DeNiro Christopher Walken, and Cary Elwes were considered for Jack Sparrow.
Amanda Bynes, Jaimie Alexander and Jessica Alba were considered for Elizabeth Swann.
Christian Bale, Tobey Maguire, Ben Peyton, and Chris Masterson were considered for Will Turner.
Tom Wilkinson RIP and Sylvester McCoy of Doctor Who fame were considered for Governor Swann.
Man this is such a fantastic entry into a franchise, we had a blast with this one!!
Also it's crazy how many big names were considered in casting - they certainly made the best choices, both with chemistry and performance! Great great movie!
I'm so glad the cast ended up being what it is. Each of these actors fit these characters so so well.
Pirates is one of those movie franchises that can and will never be remade….Another example is Jaws. Harry Potter, Back to the future. Lord of the rings…When you penetrate the pop culture like that it becomes very hard to even imagine someone else coming in and doing it all over again.
I love that Depp modeled a lot of his mannerisms as "Jack Sparrow" after Keith Richards! 😂😂😂 That genius played so well into the future films! My favorite ride at DisneyWorld was always "POTC". AWESOME REACTION GUYS! ❤❤
"Hang in there"! As he is hanging. perfect. lol
"I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request" became part of my vocabulary for the better of the early 2000's because of this movie.
No crying, all fun and games, until the final movie 🙌🏼
38:25 “For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. **Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh**. You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner... you're in one!”
The interceptor in this movie is a real ship called the lady Washington, it goes up and down the Puget Sound and as far south down the west coast is California. People can take tours of it and there’s actually a full-time crew that lives on the ship.
I detail i just noticed is that every pirate who dies after the curse is broken smiles as they die. I always knew Barbosa did but the rest, even on the ship. They can finally feel and though the feel pain and the chill of death. Its enough to die happy.
"Hang in there!"
1:04:53
Pretty sure that is what is happening... 🤣
I saw this in theaters when I was 16. What an absolute awesome time that was. When Jack snapped his compass closed the theater went nuts. It was like sitting through a 2 hour theme park ride that came to an end.
Jacks Opening Scene with the fantastic Soundtrack is one of the best Intros ever
It’s my favourite Pirates of The Caribbean Movie ❤
24:50 "the code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules" thats what we in Montana say about the speed limits lol
I remember when I saw this in theatre back then. Goosebumps at the last sword fight, I still remember vividly. I went to see this with my dad, who has now passed. Wow, memories! The first one remains my favourite, I don't quite enjoy the other ones as much.
So happy Jonny won his case in court the man deserves nothing but good things.
A lot of movies have a McGuffin. But I just noticed how this movie makes use of its McGuffin really well. They keep coming back to the medallion and the treasure chest and use it for a plot twist of Jack intentionally taking the curse on himself at a good time. And then them using it as a surprise resolve to the Jack and Barbosa sword fight. It's very creative writing.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece in the perspective of what its meant to be and what it actually is.
I dont think this film *_could_* be made better than it was.
This film is the definition of movie magic, still remember watching it in the theatres when I was 9. Wish they made adventure films like this today
Funfact: When Michael Eisner the boss of Disney at the time saw Depps performance he wanted to shut that thing down. Depp basically said "fck it" played it anyways..then it was too late to stop and created and iconic role and made Eisner Millions of Dollars..that Executives for ya
Jack Sparrow riding into port on the sinking mast of his ship was what set the tone of the entire rest of the series.
Don't forget to watch the post credit scene of each film!!!
Best reactions in RUclips! The length fits like a ring to a finger 🔥
I only watch when both of you haven't seen the movie. But this is one of the best movies ever.
Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoy!
Geofrey Rush is one of the foundation of this movie, his performance was astonishing!!!
I love this channel so much. You two are up for an adventure to the Caribbean sea. Anyways thank you for watching this, its my favourite.
Hell yeah! So happy to see you guys enjoy this. Thank you for the love ❤️
Previous two "best" pirate movies ever before Cap'n Jack stepped directly off the crows nest of his "ship" onto the dock at Port Royal
1926 silent/colorized "The Black Pirate" starring the first motion picture action hero Douglas Fairbanks who along with his stunt man ORIGINATED the "sliding down the mainsail by knife" stunt (x3 in just this one movie) that has been performed or referenced in virtually EVERY pirate movie made ever since
And
1935 Warner Brothers "Captain Blood" starring "golden age of Hollywood" actor Errol Flynn in his "breakout" role directed by Hungarian director Michael Curtiz who on the set of "Charge of the Light Brigade" (also starring Errol Flynn) once gave the direction "bring on the empty horses" which is also the title to an autobiography of Flynn's fellow "golden age of Hollywood" actor David Niven who had some unbelievably HY-LARRY-US stories to tell about living with and working with some of the greatest motion picture actors and directors and producers of all time who actors and directors and producers TO THIS DAY still look back to for inspiration
12:05: You got to hear the background to this line. "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." "o it seems enough to condemn him." (the good deed).
Watch the deleted scenes, search term: "jack sparrow deleted scene just good business". This dialog line is important:
"We had a deal, Jack. I contracted you to deliver cargo on my behalf, you chose to liberate it." "People aren't cargo mate". Ever since he freed the slaves of his trade ship, he has that "P" branded onto his arm.
Another line hits heavy: "Your good deed cost me, Jack." "And you have spared me any possibility of ending up as anything but what I am. And for that, I truly thank you."
There is a lot of background story of Jack in that scene, I really recommend watching it.
Pirates of the Caribbean is goated!! I’ll never forget seeing it in the movie theater with my cousin and being obsessed lol the music so iconic would be stuck in my head for days after weeks after pretending I was a pirate when I was a kid😂 so fun!! They all killed it the acting, the writing, the music everything man one of the best movies ever the pirates of the Caribbean movies, i haven’t even seen them all, there’s like 4 I think, I’ve seen I think only 3

You guys: "Remember that scene from the ride?"
Me: "Remember that scene from Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge?"
This is such a great movie. Some great actors from British sitcoms too. Commodore Norrington is played by Jack Davenport from the sitcom Coupling while the harbour master that Jack Sparrow bribes is played by Guy Siner from the 1980s sitcom 'Allo, 'Allo. I recommend both of those, btw. :) Great reaction, guys!
Also, I think you guys are now 2 movies away from being ready to watch the music video "Jack Sparrow" by The Lonely Island. The other 2 are Scarface and Erin Brockovich.
Stays, as corsets didn't exist until the Victorian era, were not uncomfortable to wear as Hollywood likes to portray. They were made to both fit the lady and properly structure the gown, like the Italian Gown or the Robe Polonaise. Tightlacing, as that was what they were doing to Elizabeth, was incredibly rare and was even frowned upon. Stays and corsets were essentially historical bras. I have a few stays and corsets and they are more comfortable than modern day bras. If you had a hard time with a stays/corset, then it was not properly fitted to your size or was bought cheaply as a one size fits all.
This absolute MUST SEE Classic adventure movie is a great story that keeps you so immersed in it that it makes you feel like you are there with them. "The Long Ships" (1964)
Geoffrey Rush is iconic in this movie. He truly embodies a pirate. No wonder. He is an academy award winning actor. I love him in this.
The Underwater March is one my favorite scenes in the entire franchise.
