[Summary]

A long time ago, there was an Arab story ... no, this time it should be-there is a Caribbean story. ...

This legend about pirates took place in the17th century. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is a hooligan who has nothing to do in a small town on the Caribbean coast. Although he is having a bad time at the moment, at the beginning, he was also a grand theft auto who sailed his own love boat and led many men to rob the rich and help the poor at sea. Unfortunately, he accidentally caught the bad captain Barbossa (Jeffrey La). Not to mention that he robbed his beloved pirate ship "Black Pearl", which dealt a great blow to Jack who was determined to be an excellent pirate since childhood. In desperation, he simply settled down in this humble town and muddied along.

One day, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), the wild and beautiful daughter of a local sheriff, was taken away by a group of pirates led by Captain Barbossa who suddenly appeared. It turns out that since Barbossa snatched the Black Pearl from Jack, he and his men have been cursed by an ancient curse. Whenever the moon shines on them, they will become a bunch of ghosts. Pirates will also carry such a spell when they are at ease again. Just then, Captain Barbossa found a badge worn by Elizabeth. According to the records in the book, it seems to be the key to breaking the spell, so he simply took people and things with him!

Elizabeth was robbed by pirates! The news is so bad that Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith will turner (Orlando Bloom), has to turn to Jack with a pirate background for help. When Jack knew that Captain Barbossa had robbed Elizabeth, he immediately promised to track the Black Pearl with Will. In order to save the United States and regain his love boat, the two men ran and stole a sailboat that was called the fastest in the British fleet.

Can infatuated and brave Will win back the beautiful woman safely? Can Jack fool around and take the helm of the Black Pearl again? Don't forget, this is a Disney movie, and every dream can come true ... ...

[behind the scenes]

Actually speaking, Jerry Black Mo Ye, the producer of this film, almost passed by this film. He was completely uninterested in the script he saw at first. No wonder Hollywood filmmakers have been afraid to try this theme for a long time because of the painful experience of the high-cost pirated film "Cutthroat Island" starring geena davis. Later, however, Jerry showed the script to Ted Elliott and terry rossio, who had written Shrek and The Mask of Zorro. He believes that if the story of the villain in the film is changed and some humor is added, the script is worth making a pirated film.

Of course, it's best to give the theme of "Young and Old Xian Yi" to Disney Company. After reaching a cooperation with Disney, Jerry found Gore Weibinsky as the director, because he hoped that the film would present a kind of "family-style light humor mixed with a little tension and horror". Previously, works directed by Weibinsky included freehand romantic comedies such as Catching Mice and Mexicans, and American horror suspense films such as Midnight's Ring.

[The most eye-catching starring role]

Although Depp is still outstanding and charming, although Rush's performance is beyond doubt, there is no doubt that the most anticipated face in this film is Orlando Bloom, a handsome British guy! With the handsome (and unforgettable) elf archer Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, Bloom, who is only 26 years old, has become the dream lover of countless girls at a rocket speed. However, the young man born in Canterbury, England, was not carried away by his sudden fame. As before, he still likes surfing with friends on the beach in California in his spare time, cooking his own fish and living a low-key life that doesn't match his popularity.

This one promised to make such a commercial film, and Hollywood can't compete with Hollywood? By his own admission, Bloom was not in the mood when he first read the script of Pirates of the Caribbean. "I never thought about making a pure Hollywood blockbuster with high cost and high box office, but I have to say that the more I watch it, the more attracted I am. It has a magical power. " In fact, this magical power may not come from the script, but from Bloom's heart. What boy didn't have a dream when he was a child? In the dream, he was an omnipotent pirate leader, with a sharp knife tied to his waist and driving a sailboat with a skull flag, looking for adventure and excitement freely in the sea?

Although some people say that Bloom's performance in this film is still not completely out of the shadow of Legolas, and occasionally his resolute expression and arrogant eyes will still make people involuntarily associate with the elf handsome guy, he still has the opportunity to show a bright smile and sense of humor that he has never seen before. Don't worry, after all, he is only 26 years old. I believe he will soon tell people that he has not only a beautiful face and a slender figure in Zhang Jun. Don't forget, he graduated from City College London, England, majoring in music and drama.

Recently, Bloom has just returned from Australia and finished making a new film with Heather Ledger (another pair of handsome eyes). At present, he is busy with a new film, Troy, which is based on Homer's story. He plays Paris, who kidnapped Helen and directly caused the war, and the other starring role of this film is also a typical handsome guy-Brad Pitt (OMG! It seems that the man who appeared in the camera with Bloom must be handsome and abnormal.

[Interesting tidbits]

* The script inspiration and name of the film come from "Pirate Ship of the Caribbean", one of the most popular amusement projects in Disney theme park. Visitors who have the opportunity to go to Disney Park must try it in person.

* When the crew made the movie's maritime protagonist "Black Pearl", they specially spent a large sum of money to sail an antique double-masted ship "Mrs. Washington" completely copied17th century style from Townsend, Washington, and arrived at the filming place-St. Vincent's port on the Caribbean coast through long beach. They also specially invited weapons experts to train actors how to operate the guns commonly used in that era and pursue impeccable details.

Because of the scene of Jack and Will fighting with epee, the two leading men received short-term fencing training from professionals for this shoot. Although they suffered a little, the shooting effect was absolutely wonderful.

Like many popular blockbusters, the distribution company was already preparing the sequel before the film was released. It is said that Disney is planning to make Pirates of the Caribbean into a series similar to raiders of the lost ark, so as to carry the pirate legend to the end.

* The visual effects scenes of this film are all produced by ilm. The whole film has more than 600 special effects shots. Although the number is not too much, it is definitely improving.

* In September last year, before the film started shooting, the studio specially built by Disney Company caught fire unexpectedly, and the complex scene with the prototype built was destroyed, resulting in a loss of more than $350,000. Fortunately, with the support of Disney at all costs, this accident did not affect the timely completion of the film.

[brief comment]

If you think this movie is a spooky movie just because you see the ugly skeleton in the trailer, it's all wet. In fact, this film is more relaxed, even a bit ridiculous, and inherits the tradition of Disney movies. The fighting scenes in this film are wonderful but not cruel, the plot is compact but not horrible, and even the villains are quite human. The Excellence of the script makes up for the simplicity and cliche of the plot itself. Especially prominent is the former pirate leader played by Johnny Depp, who has thick dark circles, gold teeth, huge earrings, messy braids, exaggerated clothes and likes to wear messy odds and ends. He is a bit rude and never forgives others, but strangely, such Depp is still very attractive, and he is also the funniest person in the whole film.

Plot introduction

Plot: "Come back! I, Captain Jack, am back! "

I don't know whether it was luck or skill, Captain Jack successfully cleaned up Barbossa, the bitter victim, and regained his beloved ship "Black Pearl". However, don't think that this always pretentious "the worst pirate in history" can be honestly satisfied with the livelihood of plundering at sea. The deadly enemy hidden in his mysterious past will eventually put a spell on his head: the legendary immortal pirate david jones drives his magic ship "Flying Dutchman" and leads a sea monster army to the bottom of the sea, vowing to pay a blood debt to Jack. In order to avoid a vicious curse that may spread to the eighteenth generation of grandparents and grandchildren, Captain Jack had to move reinforcements everywhere. However, the young blacksmith and his wife who came back to their hometown to get married after the Battle of Barbossa were unfortunately attracted by Jack at the wedding, so they had to draw their swords and help each other to accompany the pirate friend who said God on a dangerous counterattack journey.

This side angered the old enemy. Captain Jack didn't relax the rhythm of making trouble. He couldn't escape to the primitive island. Confused by cannibals as gods, it's a pity that cannibals love to eat gods, and soon turned the triumphant captain into a roast chicken wrapped in fruit spices. On the other hand, the insidious Sir Alex is plotting to use the little blacksmith to seize the mysterious compass in the captain's hand and let born to die the Pirate of the Caribbean. In a scuffle, Bill Turner, the legendary pirate mentioned many times in the last episode, suddenly appeared, and the situation suddenly reversed. ...

Captain Jack's Carnival at Sea

Perhaps even Johnny Depp himself didn't expect that he, who has been wandering between alternative films and mainstream films for a long time, originally intended to make a fun and exciting adventure pirate film for his two little babies, but he was actually the darling of mainstream cinemas by such a queer character. However, it is undeniable that if Captain Jack lacks the neuroticism given to him by Johnny Depp, pirates of the Caribbean may just be a hollow dessert in summer, and it will never have anything to do with the word "personality". Smart people like Gregor Verbinski and Johnny Depp, we can't let this rare role fall on others and become mediocre. Depp even wore Captain Jack's gold teeth when shooting, so that Captain Jack could be possessed by his soul at any time. Considering Jack's growing fan base, Pirates of the Caribbean: Chest of the Dead gave the center of the story to the captain, and generously dedicated the golden couple to the enchanting pirate leader. With more freedom and broader performance space, Depp can live a pirate addiction, and fans have enough time to shout for Jack's eyes, die and madness!

In order to reflect the charm of Jack's disobedience, there is naturally an opponent who is equal to other cells in his bones. In the first episode, geoffrey rush, who practiced a strange evil spirit in non-mainstream movies, tied with Depp's strangeness with his sophisticated and steady performance style without losing the enchanting charm of the protagonist; In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Jack's new sworn enemy, david jones, is as nervous as ever, and even more ferocious. The choice of roles has made bill nighy, an old British alternative. However, from the posters and stills, it is almost impossible to identify the true face of the old stepfather in Sean the zombie and Victor the vampire in the legend of the night. Pirates who have been at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years have assimilated seafood such as octopus, squid and crab, and their attack ability is equivalent to the legendary Nordic sea monster. The modeling and action scenes of david jones and his subordinates, as well as the sea scenes of the magical ship "Flying Dutchman" that can devour souls, were all completed by CG. The actor performs in front of the blue screen first, and then the special effects producer captures the action for animation. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has as many as 800 special effects shots, more than twice as many as the first episode. In addition to the Black Pearl, two ancient ships with different styles were introduced, which made Atriss's scene at sea more complicated and magnificent.

In addition to fine special effects, the exquisite bunt scene is also one of the highlights of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The weapon of the characters is still the sword, and the action director has tailored a set of action and fighting scenes for everyone. In the film, you can see keira knightley waving a pair of swords in a fluffy skirt or pirate costume, and Depp and the little blacksmith also give creative water wheel fencing performances.

In addition to many hardware innovations, the screenwriter also added some cultural gimmicks to the film. Although the crew was strongly protested by the aborigines because of the earlier topic of cannibalism, this important entertainment element will never change.

Pirates of the Caribbean series

When Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was released in 2003, the market response was not very positive because it failed to catch up with the last wave of pirate movies. As a result, Captain Jack danced with the wrecked ship, which stirred the hearts and passions of fans, regardless of whether the critics broke their glasses or not, and made a fortune. The birth of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 seems to be the pursuit of victory inspired by the sudden success, but for Gregor Verbinski, filming Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or even Pirates of the Caribbean 3 has long been a foregone conclusion, and Pirates of the Caribbean has also become Depp's training ground for controlling grotesque characters, and both sides have benefited from the successful transplantation of a style.

I can't help but admire Vibinski's control ability. Pirates of the Caribbean 1/2 entered the post-production and put into distribution in four years, and during this period, it also returned to the metropolis' mashup novel Meteorologist, a middle-aged crisis fable with the flow of time. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World trilogy (tentative name) also adopt a joint shooting method similar to the previous two episodes, so as long as the lens is suitable, they will be filmed together, so both the scene and the characters will strongly echo the previous two episodes in the final episode in the future, which may be due to Weibinsky's consideration of saving time and effort. In the third episode, the actor's unique starlight will become more and more brilliant. Keith Richard, a legendary member of the Rolling Stones, has deeply influenced Depp's interpretation of the captain. The enlightenment mentor will play the father of Captain Jack in the last chapter. Now that the little blacksmith's father showed his true colors, the captain's life story was made public. Perhaps you can explore the source of Jack's strange charm from the captain's father.

The lead singer of the Rolling Stones will join Pirates of the Caribbean 3 to compete with Fage.

Keith richards, the singer of the Rolling Stones who has just recovered from injury, will join Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Since Chow Yun Fat has joined the film, it is very likely that they will play opposite roles in the film.

Johnny Depp, the hero of Pirates of the Caribbean, said more than once that he admired keith richards, the chief guitarist of the Rolling Stones. He said that his role as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean was an imitation of Keith.

In fact, as early as the shooting of the second film, Keith had the opportunity to star in the film, but he failed to do so for various reasons. A few days ago, director Gregor Verbinski confirmed that keith richards will definitely play Pirates of the Caribbean 3: "He will play a very small role, although it is small, but it is wonderful."

It is said that because Chow Yun Fat will appear in the third film, keith richards is likely to play opposite Fage. Both of them have a strong comedy color, which will definitely add a lot of color to the One Piece series.

Keith himself did not deny the news. "They said they would let me play. I don't know what role I will play. It is said to be a seal. " However, keith richards always likes joking. He may play an old pirate, or he may be the owner or father of Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp).

Director Vibinski said: "The launch of Keith was entirely Johnny Depp's idea. We are writing a comedy role. Keith is also very happy to join our plan. "

At present, Richards has recovered from injury and is preparing for Rolling Stone's European "BiggerBang" tour. In May this year, when Keith was on vacation in Fiji, he suddenly fell from a coconut tree, causing head injuries. Later, the doctor said that he had blood stasis in his brain and needed surgery. However, Richards was successfully discharged from the hospital on May 10 local time.
