1, the curse of the Black Pearl (23)
The story
takes place in the Caribbean Sea, where pirates are most active in legend. This mysterious sea area is located in the southeast of North America, where the blue sky is blue, the sun is shining and the sea surface is crystal clear. In the 17th century, it was the only place where the business fleet of continental Europe reached America. Therefore, piracy was rampant at that time, attacking not only the merchants in the past, but even the British royal fleet.
The handsome and charming Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a young pirate who is active in the Caribbean and owns his own pirate ship "Black Pearl". For him, the most enjoyable life is to drive the "Black Pearl" around the Caribbean and rob passing ships freely. Unfortunately, however, this carefree and free-spirited day is finally over-he was deceived by Barbossa, the pirate leader, and even his precious pirate ship "Black Pearl" was stolen by Barbossa.
Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who is in charge of a group of pirates, is an unscrupulous villain. He not only robs property, but also kills everyone on board, leaving no survivors. Ships passing through the Caribbean are frightened, most afraid of meeting Barbossa and his gang. After robbing Jack's "Black Pearl" pirate ship, Barbossa became even more rampant and became the overlord of the Caribbean for a while.
With his growing power, Barbossa's greedy ambition to live forever is also expanding. He tried to unlock the secret of the legendary magic gold coin to make himself immortal, but unexpectedly he was cursed by evil-every full moon night, Barbossa and other crew members on the Black Pearl would become skeletons, and they would be celibate for life, unable to enjoy sex and food, or even walk normally.
Barbossa, who has become an immortal skeleton, leads the Black Pearl in the Caribbean. Once, they sailed into Port Royal, attacked the town, and kidnapped the governor's daughter Elizabeth Swan (keira knightley)-because the girl wore a mysterious gold coin around her neck. Will turner (Orlando Bloom), an apprentice blacksmith who grew up with Elizabeth, is deeply saddened to see his beloved girl captured by pirates. Coincidentally, Jack Sparrow, who used to be the captain of the pirate ship "Black Pearl", was also imprisoned in this seaside town because of his pirate status.
Will, the blacksmith, managed to rescue Jack from prison. Then, the two men stole the fastest warship of the British Royal Fleet, the Interceptor. In order to save Elizabeth, the girl that Will loves deeply, and in order to recapture the Black Pearl that originally belonged to him, Jack quickly chased the Black Pearl in the warship Interceptor.
The pirates thought that Elizabeth, wearing a mysterious gold coin, could help them unlock the mysterious spell, and wanted to use her blood to perform witchcraft. Just at the critical moment, Will the blacksmith and Jack the pirate drove up the warship, and behind them, there was Norrington, a royal officer who was chasing after the stolen warship. So, the pirates raised the "skull flag", Jack pulled out his pistol and sword, Will waved a broadsword, Norrington commanded his men to pick up the pike, and a heroic war between man and ghost began ...
2, the dead man's chest (26)
In this episode, Captain Jack raised the pirate flag again and started again. In the last episode, the terrible curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, but Captain Jack (Johnny Depp) doesn't realize that a more terrible curse has come to him and his rough crew. This curse comes from the legendary Davey Jones (bill nighy), the ruler of the Thebes Sea, who drives the frightening "Flying Dutchman" clipper, and no ship can surpass it in speed and equipment.
Captain Jack owes Jones a blood debt because of this curse. He must find a way to get rid of it before the deadline comes, otherwise he will always bear the blood debt and become Jones' slave for the rest of his life. Of course, this is not the only trouble for Captain Jack. His good friend will turner (Orlando Bloom) is forced to cancel his wedding with Elizabeth (keira knightley) because of Jack's incident, and finds that they are involved in the bad luck of the pirate captain, and they have to face the huge mysterious sea monster, unfriendly island natives, beautifully dressed diviner Delma, and even meet Will's long-lost father Bill.
At the same time, the ruthless pirate hunter Beickert, sent by the East India Company, is looking for a magical "soul-gathering coffin" everywhere. It is said that once he has it, he can control Davey Jones at will. Beickert hopes to wipe out all pirates in the Caribbean with this evil force, so that businessmen and colonialists can become real wealth plunderers ...
3, At world's end (27)
Plot
Brown skin, goatee on his chin braided into a pigtail, dark eye shadow on the edge of his eyes, and a few striking gold teeth in his mouth ... Captain Jack looks no different from a real pirate if he doesn't speak in an accent and posturing, but unfortunately he scratches his head every now and then. At the end of the last episode, Captain Jack, who burned bags, did not resist the temptation of womanizing, and was tricked by Elizabeth and pulled into the "dead world" controlled by Davey Jones. In other words, Captain Jack is dead, but his "death" is not the same as that in the strict sense-he can still "come back" and just needs to be saved by people.
Elizabeth, who regrets her behavior very much, will turner, who is jealous because her lover has moved on, and Vice Captain Barbossa, who somehow came back to life, formed an alliance and decided to go to the "other side of the world" to rescue Captain Jack who was trapped in a strange world of death. When they came to Southeast Asia full of exotic customs, they met the Singaporean pirate head Xiao Feng and got a special map from him to guide them. And the cunning Lord Cutler Bequette finally got the heart of Davey Jones. The real boss behind the East India Company's goal is not to destroy the sea demon king, but to control him and the "flying Dutchman" and use his deterrent to make the pirates on the whole high seas become puppets that they can send at will ... In order to find a way to deal with the biggest crisis that all pirates are facing this time, pirate bosses from all over the world meet in a hidden bay, and discuss and deal with it.
