Today is "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Starring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom
A pirate's lot was not an easy one although they seemed to never be spotted so easily in this plot despite the jewelry, clothing and dreadlocks. Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) came ashore and parked his vessel under the dock. Literally in about ten feet of water. The governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) is taken aboard the Black Pearl and Will Turner (Bloom) sets out to save her because one; she was previously saved from drowning in a heavy and tight dress by Jack Sparrow and that sorta messed up his plans to save her, and two; because he was quite sure that pirates like Jack Sparrow needed to be taught a lesson. But Will finds himself aiding and abetting piracy to its fullest when he and Jack steal (or borrow) a ship right out from under the British Navy. But it doesn't stop there. Aye, Elizabeth is tossed around on everything but a dead man's chest. Barbossa (Rush) and his crew walk around in the moonlight that reveals their bones, a part of their curse as the living dead, while still holding down relatively good sailing techniques.
As the lot of them set sail for an island that has great treasure, they are either the sacrificers or the sacrificees. Either way, the crew of the Black Pearl are acting hopeless, the new crew assembled by Captain Jack are acting strange and the crew of the British Navy are acting quite determined to kill everyone and give pirates a run for their booty. Jack gets stranded again, after we hear about his being stranded when mutiny claimed his ship. Will gets kidnapped. Elizabeth tries to, and successfully ruins the plot for an immediate cure to the Black Pearl's curse, the drunken plans of Jack by setting his rum stash ablaze and dodges much death and injury owning to the fact that she is, of course, a woman.
Things get rowdy and the famed Captain Jack Sparrow regains his long lost ship and still enjoys an apple that Barbossa seemed obsessed with while being dead. Will makes a life-long friend in Jack and a pirate's life is the only life for them. Savvy?
This has been my Movie Review. Start believing in swashbucklers.
