Chatty Hollywood

In fact, Captain Barbossa, who died in the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", was able to be resurrected because of the help of the currently sealed Ocean Goddess.

And if the other party is willing to help him resurrect, it is naturally not free——

He must help resurrect the Ocean Goddess!

——Otherwise, the other party can resurrect him or turn him into a pile of withered bones at any time.

This agreement forced Barbossa to propose the release of the Ocean Goddess. However, the pirates suddenly started to quarrel.

There is no way, who made it possible that the pirates were the ones who sealed the Ocean Goddess in the first place——

It turns out that before he transformed into Octopus Head, Davy Jones, like other pirate kings, was one of the nine pirate kings.

However, he fell in love with the alien ocean goddess.

The goddess of the sea also has some divine power related to death. She hopes that Davy Jones can pilot the "Flying Dutchman" to guide the dead souls to the underworld for her on the sea.

During this period, the "Flying Dutchman" cannot dock.

And every ten years, Davy Jones can go ashore once to meet the goddess of the sea.

Davy Jones, who was in love at that time, agreed to this request and signed the magical agreement, just to make Pomeranian smile.

However, ten years later, when he docked to meet the Ocean Goddess, she was not waiting for him.

This made Davy Jones very sad and angry. He dug out his heart and swore revenge on the other party——

After that, he took the other pirate kings and used the weaknesses he learned when he got along with the Ocean Goddess to seal them into mortal bodies.

——That is, the witch Calypso who appeared in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

After that, Davy Jones no longer guided the undead at sea to Hades.

This violation of the agreement caused him and the crew of the "Flying Dutchman" to be cursed, so they lost their human form and turned into monsters with the characteristics of sea creatures.

And Davy Jones even turned into an octopus head.

"It seems that this Davy Jones is also a poor man!"

Seeing the scene in the movie when Davy Jones and the Ocean Goddess met, Laila couldn't help but sigh like this.

Especially, when Davy Jones temporarily lost his octopus head and returned to his human form under the magic of the Ocean Goddess, Lyra realized that this person seemed to be Charlotte Booth, the director of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

"I had heard before that director Charlotte had a cameo as Davy Jones, but because of the octopus head shape, I never paid much attention to it. Now it seems to be true!"

Although she is not a big fan of Charlotte, Laila is also the kind of girl who cares more about entertainment news. In addition, Charlotte has been the most popular director in Hollywood in recent years, so Laila still recognizes his appearance. .

but--

"By the way, the actress playing Ocean Lady is Charlize Theron - these two are also a couple in real life!"

Laila suddenly felt that there seemed to be many hidden secrets in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series waiting for her to discover.

Of course, those who think like Laila are only a minority after all. Most of the audience’s minds are still focused on the plot at this time——

"If you think about it this way, it can be said that the members on the pirate side have their own agendas!"

In a North American movie theater, Kenneth Turan talks to himself.

Seeing now, this famous film critic who has long become a big fan of Charlotte discovered that Charlotte seems to have made another pornographic commercial blockbuster——

You know, general commercial blockbusters,

But I don’t pursue an overly complicated plot.

Who knows that the duration of a movie is limited after all? If more time is invested in the performance effects and scenes that are more important in commercial films, then the time used to narrate the plot will naturally be reduced?

Even though there is a trend of extending the duration of commercial blockbusters today, the time that can be extended is ultimately limited.

——Not to mention the profound lesson of David Griffith's "Party Against Diversity", the audience's bladder will eventually have its limit.

Therefore, it is very normal for commercial blockbusters to generally have simple and routine plots.

——Even a super director would find it difficult to use one minute as two minutes, right?

However, Charlotte did exactly this in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" -

Without affecting the scene effect of the movie, he made excellent use of narrative techniques and lens language.

This allows the complicated and complicated character relationships in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" to be easily understood by the audience.

Take Kenneth Turan for example, he easily understood what everyone on the Pirates side was thinking——

Barbossa was threatened by the Ocean Goddess and had to rescue Jack and the Black Pearl.

——Because Jack was one of the nine pirate kings who participated in sealing the Ocean Goddess, and the Ocean Goddess needed his token to unlock her seal;

Will Turner hopes to get the Black Pearl in exchange for the freedom of his father, the old Turner, who served on the "Flying Dutchman" with Lord Beckett;

——So, after rescuing Jack, he conspired with Beckett and the pirate queen named "Ming Kong" to prepare to become a spy;

As for Ming Kong, the cunning pirate queen helps rescue Jack, apparently to hand him over to Lord Becket or the East India Company for self-preservation.

——It’s just that because of the empathy effect of her dead daughter, she took Elizabeth away, but she died by accident and had to pass her position to Elizabeth;

In contrast, the heroine Elizabeth's behavior is not so much driven by profit factors, but more driven by emotion.

However, after rescuing Jack, she discovered that her father had been killed by Lord Becket, which strengthened her idea of ​​revenge against him.

——From this perspective, Elizabeth is the one with the greatest hatred and the most determined attitude towards Lord Becket and the East India Company among the pirates.

"So, only if she is chosen as the leader of the pirate kings can the pirates truly declare war on the East India Company headed by Lord Becket!"

Gianna, who had watched the first two films of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, quickly understood the plot of the movie this time. This time, she didn't even need Emily to explain it to her.

This made her think that she had watched too many movies and her understanding of movie language had become stronger.

However, in the eyes of film veterans such as Kenneth Turan, this is due to the superb narrative techniques used by the director in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

"Unlike the multi-layered narrative in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" that progresses layer by layer, this time the film's narrative is more diverse, lacking in detail and subtle - while telling the audience clearly the story, it is completely silent. The feeling of taking the spotlight - Charlotte Booth has improved again as a director!"

In the movie theater on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Imperial Master Gong Chang, who originally came just to watch the excitement, now had a research attitude -

He knows very well that although he is well-known here in the Pacific and is number one in the international film industry, what he is best at after all is the control of lenses and colors. As for his narrative ability...

Alas, forget it!
