Before I begin, I need to get something off my chest. I am tired of sheep. Not the small cuddly kind from which we obtain those great woolen sweaters, but the kind that people like you and I are often compared to when someone who sets themselves up to be an arbiter of all that is right in the world calls us such. If you don’t lean a particular political way, or subscribe to certain social causes, or if you happen to like certain forms of entertainment, then you are a sheep, blindly following along behind all the other sheep. You cannot make up your own mind. The latest in a string of sheep insults comes from Kansas City Star critic Robert Butler. He concludes his eviscerating review of Pirates of the Carribean: At World’s End with the words:
“Can you say โBaaaaaaaย?”
No, Robert, but I can say “fuck you”.
There is a fine line between telling someone what they should like (a practice that I suspect all of us who blog, or who have an opinion, exercise at times) and telling people they are mindless followers because they happen to like something that you don’t think is worthy. That line is crossed when you begin calling people sheep. It means that you, as an individual, can no longer recognize the fact that if someone’s opinion (whether that be one person or a multitude of people) is different than yours that they might have the same well thought out, reasoned argument for their beliefs/feelings/opinions as you do.
Forgive me for getting so impassioned about a summer popcorn flick. It is probably ridiculous, but there it is. It probably goes without saying that I enjoyed Pirates 3 (it is shorter to type this) as much as I did Pirates 2. I remember the second outing of Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew being one of controversy, with lovers and haters of the film vehemently voicing their opinions. I suspect this film will be the same way. Is it a perfect film? No, but what summer blockbusters are? These type of films aren’t made to contend for Oscars. They are made to entertain. Each of the Pirates outings could use a little more editing in certain places and have their moments that drag a bit. What should be considered is this: does the whole of the film end up being entertaining and worth the money you spent to see it. For me, the answer is “yes”. It wasn’t great, but it was very, very good.
I will say little about the film as I don’t want to spoil the experience for anyone, and because this “review” (read, “rant”) is already long enough. The special effects were excellent, the many and varied pirates were as fun and enjoyable as in each of the other two films, and the story (yes, I believe there was one) was not the thing of confusion that many who get paid to sit and watch films seem to think it was.
I have not seen Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest since I saw it last summer in theatres. Having seen it only once I certainly didn’t remember every little detail about the film. And I still didn’t find anything confusing about this film. There are many different characters in the film each with their own agendas that have to be played out to one degree or another during the 2 hours and 45 minutes of this film. The storylines are carried out with varying degrees of success and satisfaction. But confusing? I just didn’t find it that way, I’m sorry.
What I found in my viewing experience was this: I really like these pirate movies and I hope they make more. Pirates 3 is not as action packed as the second film and it has moments that drag. Captain Jack Sparrow’s first appearance on screen is a fun idea that, in my opinion, was played out a bit too long and could have been trimmed and been equally, if not more, effective. It also takes a little while for the film to pick up speed. Even in those moments, though, I was entertained. Why? Because I like these characters and I had the hope that the end product would be one of satisfaction. It was. For the most part I was entertained throughout the film and by the time the climactic battle scene hit the screen I was brimming with anticipation for how they would wrap up this third film. I thought the last act of the movie was fantastic and made the film, and the trilogy, a worthwhile venture in pirate entertainment.
Even now, hours later, I am very happy with the film and the very recognizable Pirates of the Carribean theme music is playing in my head. I was worried about the film, and now I am happy that the worries, for me, were unfounded.
This is certainly different from my usual movie reviews, and I apologize. Let me make it abundantly clear right now that if you don’t like Pirates 3, or if you were disappointed by it in some ways, I respect your opinion and your right to do so. I know we don’t all agree on what makes a film good or not. But as long as you are choosing to like or not like it because of your own personal reasons and not because someone else is directing you then that is great! It is fantastic that we all don’t like the same stuff. But don’t call me a sheep, or a follower, or insinuate that there is something wrong with my intelligence or taste if I happen to like something you don’t.
Let me also apologize if my language offends. I am of the belief that sometimes the only way to say what needs to be said is to say it that way. If that weakens my argument, so be it.
And now, a few random closing thoughts:
-I thought Orlando Bloom’s character Will Turner really developed some moxie as this film progressed. I really liked him.
-I preferred the Elizabeth Swann we got in Pirates 3 much better than Pirates 2. I realize the love triangle aspect of the second film had to happen to set up dramatic tension and to set up the events of this film. I just didn’t enjoy that storyline as much. Keira Knightly looked healthy and quite fetching in this film. Great wardrobe!
-Johnny Depp really was born to play this character. I don’t agree with the idea that he is given nothing to do in this film. He wanders around acting crazy and yet spends a great deal of screen time swashbucking, as any good pirate captain should do. His ending line gets me every time. It, combined with the timely crescendo of the theme music, sets my adventurous heart to racing.
-Stay for the scene after the credits. It adds a nice emotional resonance to the ending of the film.
-Piratey humor never gets old.
I am encouraging spoiler talk in the comments and will do some myself, so don’t read the comments as you add yours unless you have seen the film! You’ve been warned! ๐ As an added reminder, please remember to write “SPOILERS” in capital letters at the start of your post if you are including any spoiler information.
Okay now, let the rest of us know what you thought, good or bad. And feel free to be as vehement in your dislike of the film, if you fall into that category, as I was in my ravings against name-calling critics.
I personally recommend this as a fun start to the summer blockbusters. Once again I must say,
Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate’s life for me…
Good review, Carl! I would have to agree with you especially concerning the critics. I really did enjoy the movie. There were just a few parts that lagged a little, but I was very pleased with the story and the movie in general.
SPOILER!!!
I really enjoyed the fact that they brought so many characters back, and I especially appreciated that we get to “feel for” and even like James (AKA “The Commodore”). I was glad we stayed for the special scene after the credits. I was very sad about Will and Elizabeth having the 10 year absences FOREVER, but perhaps Pirates IV will take care of this woeful part of the film. I am happy to give the film a thumbs up.
SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!
I actually applaud them for having the courage to end the movie the way they did with Will and Elizabeth, rather than making it 100% happily ever after. I suspect this will be one of the divisive things about the movie for some. It was romantic, in a tragic way, and lends a bit of depth to a popcorn film.
Let me also take the time to reiterate that it is not Robert Butler’s dislike of the film that bothers me. I fully support his right to hate it as I do my own right to disagree with him. Just like any critic, when he likes a film that I like then I think he is spot on, and if not, well then I probably value my own opinion more. Its just human nature. What I don’t support is his right to criticize the viewer. That is stepping over the line of a critic’s job responsibility in my opinion.
I’m glad I saw the film, even though I did not see the first two. I’m not really a Johnny Depp fan. It’s not that I dislike him, it’s just that his appearance in a film will not inspire me to see it. His expressions in this film are priceless. I know that I missed many of the inside jokes, but when you watch Depp’s face, you begin to get the idea.
Thanks for the invite and a great afternoon!
So glad you came! Do you want to come over Monday afternoon to watch Finding Neverland?
Oh man! Now I really want to see it!
Carl, I can’t agree with you more about ‘sheep’ comments. I never have understood using that when describing people. You might as well use the F word as a response back. Both are a pretty childish way of proving a point in an argument. I guess I’m calling you both childish, haha, oh well, you know what I mean. :p
I can take it Jamey, me boyo! I’m sure it is childish. I got such a chuckle after typing it, realizing how annoyed I was, that I can’t bear to take it out. It expresses what I mean a little too perfectly.
I’ll have to try and get out to see this sometime over the summer break. But for now, I’ll just salivate over the Orlando Bloom poster. {swoon} ๐
well now, lol.. I do like to listen to both sides of any review/ statement about movies.. but in th end I make up my own mind.
I rarely get to see movies in theaters anymore because I can’t leave my brother alone, but that doesn’t stop me from loving movies!
I really don’t think professional reviewers “get it”.. Fantasy that is… and they don’t get “the love of fantasy” because they don’t go there.
In the end it’s their loss.
glad you liked this movie, I’m sure when I get to finally see it I will too since I liked the other two.
I love your opening to this post! I say stuff like that all the time. I remember in high school I got in a huge debate about whether people are just sheep in general. I said no, lots of people think yes. I know that I think what I want to think, not what other people want me to think, and that is good enough for me. As to the rest of your post, I will read it after I watch the movie on Tuesday.
Fantasy and science fiction films definitely suffer somewhat from reviewers that don’t get them. No doubt about it.
I am not advocating that we hunt down critics like dogs, nor am I dismissing their opinions. Had Robert Butler stopped before the sheep reference I would have went away from the review thinking that he just didn’t get it and that I’m glad I enjoyed the film. Where I got indignant was when he crossed that line. And let me be honest, my attitude about this kind of behavior has been building for awhile and Mr. Butler gets the brunt of it here but he is not alone in this attitude of dismissing others as less intelligent or less worthy if they happen to disagree.
One thing I think critics fail to realize is that there are different kinds of films. Some are Oscar worthy, some have a great message or some sort of social significance, and some (popcorn films) are made to simply entertain. Some succeed at that and some fail (for example, I think Spiderman 3 failed and I know many of you would disagree with me) and we can debate the merits of the ones we like vs. the ones we don’t all day long. That is what thinking, decision making people do.
On another note, I forgot to mention that we caught some great trailers before the film including the debut of the new full-length Transformers trailer. That movie is looking good. I hope it has some shades of a story to go along with the great visuals.
Ok….I went to see this yesterday too. And I absolutely loved it!! I’m not a sheep that blindly goes into anything. I know what I like and I like these movies!! Aside from the fact that Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors (I’m all for a guy that takes chances unlike some of the other Hollywood stars), I LIKE adventure movies. And this was FUN. And yes, Depp was born to play this role!! He owns it!!
SPOLERS!!! I DIDN’T like the 2 very much. I’m all for sequels and trilogies and such. But I don’t like movies that are THAT open-ended. And I didn’t like Elizabeth in 2. But she Totally redeemed herself in this one!! I loved the fact that she was CAPT. Swann!! She rocked!! And my very favorite part of all had to be Keith Richard’s 5 minutes!! CLASSIC! Orlando was better in this one too….and I did like the end! Not a fairy tale ending….but still good, imo.
Great Review Carl!!
Am ignoring previous comments as I haven’t seen the film yet, and probably won’t for a while.
I loved the first film, and very much enjoyed the second. I’m sure I will like the third film.
Johnny Depp is awesome in PoTC. Extremely entertaining and rather bloody attractive. ๐
After reconsidering, I kind of like the ending. It seems like a fitting ending for a story that draws on myth (Davy Jones ferrying the dead, Calypso being the sea goddess, etc)…
รยขรขโยฌร โCan you say รยขรขโยฌร โBaaaaaaaรยขรขโยฌรย?รยขรขโยฌรย
No, Robert, but I can say รยขรขโยฌร โfuck youรยขรขโยฌรย.
lol! This made me laugh out loud. I definitely agree with you – he really crossed a line. And there are few things that annoyed me more than this kind of elitist accusations.
I am itching to see this movie. I’m sure I will enjoy it immensely. However, my boyfriend and I vowed to watch it together like we did the others, and he’s currently abroad, so I won’t be able to see it for another 2 months. Must…resist….urge.
Ok, Carl. I’m in. Although, you have to understand that I have watched countless audiences either not get a movie or flat out love the garbage that Hollywood sends our way. I disagree with the sheep comment as well, but you would have to admit that there are just plain, horrible movies and everyone still goes and drops their money on them. Yes, I understand that this is their right, but again, shouldn’t we ask for more from our popcorn movies besides; cool f/x, cool f/x, big explosion, funny line, and the surprise twist ending whether it is good, bad, or unexpected.
I haven’t seen Pirates 3 yet, (the kids wanted to see Spiderman 3, did Raimi not remember how well he produced 2?) might go tonight or in the morning. I’m just really scared that it is another sequel that will not live up to its first movie that breathed fresh ideas and a simple story into our summer popcorn movies.
Oh, and Carl. Never be ashamed of your rightous obscenities. You are from the South, sir! It’s part of your charm.
I realize that tons of people go see really bad movies and spend their money on them, but I see that more as a desire and hope that something will be good rather than sheep-like behavior. And honestly, can we really trust critics anymore? I am more likely to see a movie I know little about if it is getting critical acclaim, and in that sense I think they do a fair job. But when they discount movies again and again that I end up liking for various reasons then I can no longer trust their judgement.
The other thing I’m willing to venture forth is that not everyone sees movies the same way I only see a handful of movies in the theatre a year. I see most of the blockbusters and would regardless of what any critic says. The rest of the time I am looking for those break out movies that remind me just how magical film can be. Should I expect every movie to be that way? Maybe, but if everything is magical then nothing is magical, right? For some a night at the movies is something they want to and can experience every weekend, or several times a weekend and they are willing to risk the hits and misses. That is okay as well.
I mean, my favorite theatre movies this year thus far that I’ve seen in the theatre are:
1. Pan’s Labyrinth. and then much farther down:
2. 300
3. Grindhouse
4. Bridge to Terabithia
5. Hot Fuzz
Interestingly enough, they all got extremely high critics ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Should that make me feel like a sheep because I liked them and the critics did as well? Heck no, and that is why I bristle at the opposite.
Each movie has something about it that makes it rise above the other stuff that I’ve seen thus far and I’ve found each movie fantastic in its niche. And the thing about those movies is that I will get them all on DVD and watch them again and again and again. I’m that way. I don’t expect nor want every movie to excite me quite to that level. I’d never get anything done! ๐ Sometimes I want a movie just to be a fun and entertaining throw away film.
Yes, I do think we should expect more from our popcorn movies but that is where opinions wildly differ. For me, Spiderman 3 fell well below what I expected of it. Pirates 3 met my expectations exactly. Did it exceed them? No, but it met them.
And I want my movies, even my popcorn films, to have fresh ideas, but I am no so big on trying to make sequels fresh and new. If I loved the first one, then give me more of the same with the characters progressing. Don’t give me a bunch of stuff tacked on to pretend like this next movie is new and different. That is where Spiderman 3 failed and where Pirates 3 falters at times. There were uncalled for extraneous characters in both films. The ones in Pirates just didn’t take away from the main story as much as those in Spiderman detracted from what we should have been focused on.
I am certainly not advocating we accept dumbed down dreck because, “hey, its just a summer movie, what did you expect”, but I am saying that the lighter summer faire is where I often don’t see eye to eye with the critics. I think they are unusually harsh on films that turn out to be fairly enjoyable.
In the end you may not like 3 and may agree with Butler’s assessment. And that is cool by me. If I didn’t like it then I would agree with his assessment as well and probably be echoing it here. But I wouldn’t insult those who read my blog by criticizing them because they chose to like it. That is where Butler goes from voicing a ‘professional’ opinion to being an amatuer whose opinion does not deserve consideration.
Thanks Cameron! ๐
And sorry that you have to wait, Nymeth. Hope you find it worth the wait. And glad I could make you laugh. I set myself to giggling when I typed it, hence the fact that it saw the light of day.
SPOILERS!!!!
Back to more things about the film itself:
Keith Richards was great in his small role. It was such a perfect choice considering the fact that Depp model his character on Keith in the first place. I felt like he did a great job not looking like Keith Richards up on the screen but actually added a level of creepiness to the part…probably not too much of a stretch.
I felt that Chow Yun-Fat was wasted. I really like him, but his role reminded me of that of James Cromwell and of Bryce Dallas Howard in Spidey 3. The roles may have been somewhat necessary to the story the writers chose to tell, but they didn’t require big name actors. Although that whole storyline was set up to give Elizabeth her captaincy, it just felt like a wasted role.
I loved that map! It was like every kid’s dream treasure map only even more mysterious and complex. Kudos to the art department for that creation.
The closing credits scene on the bluff overlooking the ocean was beautiful, as was Keira in that scene. Well worth sitting through the credits for.
I liked that the wooden eyeball had its own special role in this film.
And I mentioned this before, but I liked all the pirate humor. I expect these movies to be full of bad jokes, slapstick, and low-brow humor and they delivered time and time again.
I liked and defended Pirates 2 after seeing it and still had some problems with parts of the storyline. It says something that I have never seen it again, which is that although I really enjoyed it, it didn’t become a movie I took to heart and had to own. I am thinking at this time, though, that I would really like to own this one. We’ll see how I feel when it comes out, but the last act of the movie alone is worth several viewings.
Ok, let’s just leave it at that. You’re right, we can have a difference of opinion on movies, I just feel every time I see a great trailer, but terrible movie; that I’ve been suckered. That’s what I mean by expecting more. Whether the film is drama, comedy, or a tentpole movie; ( and no not all movies can be magical I didn’t mean to suggest that) I want it to engage me. That’s what I want.
And my top movies so far this year are…
1. Children of Men
2. 300
3. Planet Terror
4. Meet the Robinsons (I am not all death and destruction)
All right I’m done. Kat’s in the background calling me a snob, so I’m going to go beat her, like Danny Glover in ‘The Color Purple’.
” I just feel every time I see a great trailer, but terrible movie; that Iรยขรขโยฌรขโยขve been suckered.”…I’m with you there, that happens entirely too much. Most recently for Mary and I with ‘The Invisible’. I don’t disagree with you at all really. I feel the same way as you do about wanting movies to be engaging, but a movie could engage you and do nothing for me, that is what I find interesting about films. I’ll have to tell you about my disappointments with Children of Men sometime.
I wanted to see ‘Meet the Robinsons’ but will have to catch it on DVD someday. The trailers for that one looked really fun.
I’m a movie and book snob sometimes, I have no doubt. And I think I’d place my money on Kat to be laying the beat down. ๐
Great review! I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll be going ASAP. Can’t wait!
This blog was great. One of the most impassioned ones I’ve read. I quit reading Robert’s reviews, before seeing a film, when he said he felt “manipulated” by Sixth Sense and told the ending to that and two other movies. I always thought that must violate some kind of reviewer’s ethical code. I loved Pirates 3. I”m not terribly objective about Johnny Depp, but I did think that was impressive to maintain a character over three films. Never having acted that seems like it may be difficult. I’ll ditto you comment to Butler.
I am in absolute agreement with you regarding the critics, and I’ll take it even a step further. I say we don’t need them at all, and should do away with the lot of them. Right after lawyers.
This latest was my favorite of the Pirate movies. They will, I believe, come to take their place alongside the Star Wars films and the LOTR films as among the great movie series of all time.
Very well put argument, Carl. I am one of those who does fall into the camp of liking this latest Pirates movie (and the first and second as well). Certainly they each have their flaws, but they were very entertaining in my mind. A great way to spend a few hours on a Monday afternoon.
I admit that I could have used a happy ending, but I do think that the ending the movie was given was perfect for the type of movie it was and with all that had gone on before.
I too saw Pirates 3 this weekend, and…
…I actually quite liked the ending as it was…though I read deep in Will Turner’s Wikipedia entry that they meant for it to be much more conventionally happy than it was. (Look near the end of his bio to see what I mean.)
Frankly, though…I don’t know, I like it BETTER this way. Will can return for some cameos as captain of the Flying Dutchman! (Everyone’s read about the original, right?)
I agree, Elizabeth’s character gets much more interesting in Pirates 3. Her seeming acceptance of her own inner darkness has made her a stronger person, and much more fun to watch.
I hadn’t noticed this “curse” they’re talking about, but now that they mention it…the guys she kisses DO have horrible things happen to them right after! Poor girl!
(Hmm. I meant to link that last to the Wikipedia entry on her, but the segment on the “kiss of death” has been removed since. Think about it though…she kisses Sao Feng before he gets blown up, Norrington before Bootstrap Bill stabs him to death, Jack before he gets eaten by the kraken, and Will himself before Davy stabs him. Maybe Jack has picked up on this somehow – he refuses to kiss her in the end! ;))
Also, I have to say…I feel heartily sorry for James Norrington. Poor guy. Theft of the heart aside, he was really a decent fellow at heart, and deserved better than he got.
Also, was anyone else as completely not surprised by Tia Dalma’s histoy as I was? The law of conservation of movie characters dictated it had to be something like that – and they had the same locket, for heaven’s sake! ๐ (For another example of “It’s gotta be this guy, there’s no reason for him to exist otherwise!” see Lady In White.)
LOVE your words, Carl. I used to write movie reviews a long, long time ago, and I remember thinking that the best I could ever do was offer my own opinion based on my own experiences. I tried my hardest to make sure my reviews never offended those who did like the film. In the end, it’s always a personal choice, and to believe or suggest otherwise is simply senseless.
I’m so sorry I have not been back to visit you in months, but I am glad to be back, Carl, and thanks for all of your kind words during those difficult days in April and May. I will never forget your kindness.
rvw
Glad to see you back over here Rus. You had the best of all excuses for being absent, the tragedy of life. I am again very sorry for your loss and thrilled to see you back.
Great thoughts, RB. I really liked the way they ended up treating Norrington in the series as he really wasn’t a bad guy and he had a chance to be heroic more than once and redeem himself.
Love the idea of Elizabeth’s kiss curse!
Love, love, loved it!
And um.. I liked Will Turner’s look at the end the best. ๐ lol
The only thing I’m upset about is forgetting to stay thru the credits to see the last scene! grr.. My roomate reminded me that there was that last scene. ๐
I really enjoyed this movie. I was worried about the almost 3 hours, but it really flew by. The payoff was the great fight scene, and I loved the opening in Singapore. Chow-Yun Fat was a good addition. I was disappointed in the build-up of Calypso, which I didn’t really think paid off with just a maelstorm. Overall, a worthy theater trip… It has to be seen on the big screen.
Oh Angela, sorry you missed it. You would’ve like the way Will Turner looked in that scene as well.
I agree about Calypso, Shannin. I thought we’d see more of her after she was released from her human form.
I’m so glad you reviewed this movie! Like LOTR, my favorite was the first. I didn’t mind that the second ended the way it did, as I knew it was a trilogy. This one was my least favorite of the three, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t like it. There were so many good parts; my favorite was when Jack finally showed up. The nose! So Dali! And his hallucination…too funny; that was my favorite part of the movie! You’re right…it did go on a bit too long, tho. The crabs I loved…and Barbossa…altho I think they made him almost too silly in some parts of this movie. I disliked the 20 foot woman part…I feel they could’ve done so much better with that…made her into a storm or something. The eye was great! And the monkey & bird certainly provided some great laughs and awwwwws. I, too, loved Orlando’s look at the end. I’m looking forward to Pirates IV!!!
I’d love to hear your interpretation of why Jack looked so sad when he saw the dead Kraken…
I personally interpreted that as a sadness that one of the great wonders, and also one of his great nemeses, was now dead.
I see it as something akin to us finding out the Loch Ness Monster is real and then someone goes out and kills him.
I feel the same way when I see that “they” are catching these giant squid. I realize that it is important to study them, and its great to have evidence that they exist, but it is also sad when we see them because they are dead, and that is one less great mysterious beast left for us to wonder/dream about.
Keri, the kids, and I all loved Pirates 3 as well. It was great getting to share this one in the theatre with our kids. Don’t get me started on Robert Butler or the other elitiest movie reviewers at the Kansas City Star. I still haven’t forgiven them for trashing LOTR: The Two Towers. I’m serious go back in there archives if you can and read their review of LOTR: TT and you will see how they just don’t get fantasy films.
SPOILERS:
My favorite scene was the marriage scene in the during the battle. It just was just so fun and perfect for this series. It still brings a smile to my face thinking about it. I also thought Orlando and Kiera were much stronger charaters in this film and held there own in scenes with Depp. The two soliders switching sides at the end of the film was funnny, too. I do wish that Chow Yun Fat had had a bigger role though.
Can’t wait to get this one on DVD and I’m so hopeing for a Pirates 4 in a few years.
I waited until I’d seen the film before reading your review, and all these comments Carl, so I hope this comment doesn’t go on too long ๐
First off, you are right that a critic shouldn’t criticise an audience for enjoying a film. Anyone who does so should be ignored. (But I do think that certain people can be sheep).
And as for the critic that gave away the ending to The Sixth Sense (forgot who mentioned this), that is beyond the pale. No review should ever contain spoilers, not without a huge warning at least.
Now, on to the film, you know I didn’t really like the 2nd, but I’m happy to report that I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Yes, it was over long, and there were too many characters, but it was also great fun. Depp was wonderful, Knightly & Bloom not too annoying ๐ and while certain parts didn’t work, the film, as a whole really did.
And I loved Jack’s hell. That was the best.
Carl, after seeing the movie again, I agree with your thoughts about the Kracken. Very good catch! I was also puzzled by the beginning, and why the singing was important…but the friend I went with got it right away! What can I say, sometimes I’m slow ๐
Also, I forgot to mention one of my favorite scenes: When they were sailing under the starry sky and it was reflected in the water. That was just beautiful!
That was a cool scene! And honestly I didn’t catch the significance of the singing either…
My friend said: “the lord wanted to get the black pearl and jack. he was using davy jones to
get to jack. the song brought them all together. ”
Yo, ho, haul together,

Some men have died

i love pirates of the carribean especially orlando he is sooo hot !!! ๐
