A pirate expert analyzes the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, sharing particular praise for Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Pirate expert Iszi Lawrence reviews Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, awarding high points to Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. Released in 2003, Gore Verbinski's first Pirates of the Caribbean movie brings the Disney ride to life to great effect, kick-starting a franchise that would go on to make over $4.5 billion at the box office.
“Nobody was branded a pirate but, you know, whatever. People were branded. If you’re clergy and you got arrested for something you could be branded, but then you couldn’t plead clergy again. [Jack Sparrow’s] line here, ’But you have heard of me,’ is wonderful. That’s what you wanted as a pirate. You wanted your name to precede you so people would give up before fighting you.
“[Captain Barbossa] has a monkey there. The French, I believe introduced a lot of monkeys into the Caribbean because they used to be very fashionable pets… But monkeys need a lot of water and so keeping them onboard ships is not a good idea. You’re much better off with a parrot. “They weren’t servants of a government anymore or of companies who wanted to make money and of the sort of general grind of being a commoner. When you were you pirate, you were basically going, ‘Okay, I’m not going to live long. I’m going to have a short bloody life and it will be a very good one.’”
