After six years, the fifth part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series: "Dead No Proof", has finally appeared on the big screen. Interestingly, compared with the thrilling, exciting, funny and other movie-watching experiences brought to the audience by the previous four films, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" actually made many viewers say that they couldn't help but cry when they saw it!
After six years, the fifth part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series: "Dead No Proof", finally appeared on the big screen.
Captain Jack, whom we are familiar with, has returned, and his return is not only a continuation of the pirates' adventures at sea, but also the release of the "Pirates of the Caribbean feelings" of many fans.
In fact, since the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" landed on the big screen in 2003, this movie series based on Disney theme parks has been with us for 14 years!
This series not only introduced us to a cool captain named "Jack", but also gave us a lot of amazing experiences about ocean adventures!
And this film series has also become the strongest "box office maker" among many film series: it has accumulated more than $3.7 billion in the world, becoming one of the highest-grossing film series in film history. Its charm is almost more attractive than the supermodel Gemma Ward, who played the role of "Mermaid" in the fourth part.
And in the entire Pirates of the Caribbean series, the most liked thing is Captain Jack, played by Johnny Depp! The eye-catching smoky makeup, enchanting orchid fingers, the evil smile and the dashing style give John Depp a classic role on the screen that can be passed down.
In the latest series of the fifth film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead And No Proof", Jack, played by Johnny Depp, is still the charming captain who can jump up and down and cope with everything with ease.
And the story that revolves around him is still full of exciting adventures: Captain Salazar's revenge, the "dead man's" killing at sea, the journey to find the trident through the star map, the cracked underwater duel, etc. The story is wonderful, the scene is grand, the rhythm is bright, and people can feel a kind of movie-watching pleasure in the theater.
Since its release, this movie is rolling up the box office of the domestic film market in a bulldozer-like posture: less than three days after its release, the box office has reached nearly 400 million!
Interestingly, compared with the thrilling, exciting, funny and other movie-watching experiences brought to the audience by the previous four films, "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" actually made many viewers say that they couldn't help but cry when they saw it!
What's going on here? How can a sea adventure movie make the audience cry? What elements touched the heartstrings of the audience?
1. Fourteen years of "Pirates of the Caribbean" feelings, let the audience remember full!
As mentioned earlier, the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is fourteen years since the first part of the series. In the past fourteen years, every film has left a deep impression on the audience.
In this kind of entanglement of time and impressions, it is inevitable that people will form a strong enough emotional cognition of this series. When you walk into the theater and see Captain Jack still jumping up and down, hear the majestic theme BGM, and see the shots of the sea, the memory of watching the movie will be awakened. The feeling brought about by this feeling is naturally very strong.
2, although the Turners appeared in less photos, their reunion was still very tear-inducing!
As we all know, in the first three parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Elizabeth, played by Kayla Knightley, and Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, have been unforgettable love protagonists in this series from childhood to adulthood.
It's only in the third part, "The Battle of Shipwreck Bay", Will, played by Orlando Bloom, is pierced in the heart by the octopus monster David Jones, and Jack gives him up his status as the "captain of the flying Dutchman" in order to save him. He was allowed to live, but at the cost of taking over Jones's job: extraditing the undead in the underworld of the sea, and it would take ten years to come ashore.
After a hasty snap with Elizabeth, Will returned to the sea. And this seemingly short snap is obviously fruitful, in the easter egg at the end of the third part, Will and Elizabeth's son is ten years old, standing on the beach waiting for his father to return.
In the plot of the fifth part, one of the main lines is the story of Elizabeth and Will's son, Turner Henry, who tries everything to save his father.
It is precisely because of such a plot that the film ends, and the return of Kayla Knightley and Orlando Bloom: although they have not been on camera for a long time, they have played a sensational enough role.
Their reunion not only ushered in a happy ending for the film, but also allowed Elizabeth and Will Turner, who had not appeared for many years, to hug each other on the screen again. At this moment, how can it not be touching: some viewers bluntly said that they could not help but cry at the moment they saw Kayla Knightley's face appear.
3, the hidden father-daughter relationship, enough to be touching
Since there is a son of Will Turner- a handsome guy with the temperament of a prince - there must be a girl with the same appearance and temperament - anyway, the general routine is like this, right? In this film, two new characters were added: Turner's son Henry and An astronomer Karina, who knows astronomy.
Henry's actor is indeed very handsome, and his temperament is almost as good as that of Orlando Bloom, whose name is Brunton Swaites, a young Australian actor.
Karina is played by British actress Kaya Skodario, born in 1992. Before participating in this film, she starred in the British drama "Skin Bag" and the movie "Moving Labyrinth".
This Karina is not simple, she has not been to school, but she is proficient in astronomy, and in this film she plays an important role in "discovering the star map". But the purpose of her adventure with Jack is not to satisfy her astronomy hobbies, but to find her biological father, Henry is the savior, and she is looking for the father.
In a seemingly inconspicuous plot line of the film, it is the story of Karina's search for her father. Before the end of the film, she really found her father, and her father sacrificed himself to save her - like the courage in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", conveying a selfless and great fatherly love.
This is also very touching. As for who this father is, I won't spoil it here....
4. Returning to his youth Captain Jack reflects his growing old age
Johnny Depp went from playing the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" to playing the current one, and he is also in his fifties. Although his appearance is still so handsome, and even to some extent there is no big difference from fourteen years ago, time is very realistic, Johnny Depp is aging, and Jack in the film is also aging.
In the final stage of the film, the love of the two generations embracing each other makes the film have a lot of warmth. Although the hugs on the grass may seem a little awkward, the thought of the aging Captain Jack witnessing the love of two generations will make you sigh: time never goes back, and the past can only be reminisced.
Captain Jack has witnessed the love of two generations, while he himself is still alone. Although he loves freedom more and the whole person belongs to the sea, sometimes people can't help but feel that Captain Jack, who is getting old, should also have a partner!
However, in the fifth part, we see a young version of Captain Jack, whose childish face makes him look very "fresh meat".
This "tender version of Jack" makes many people think that they have found a god-like young actor to play, but in fact, this is all through CG technology, based on Johnny Depp's own image to produce special effects - no wonder so similar!
But no matter how similar, it is still low to stop the years of the ring slowly overpowered. Johnny Depp will grow old, and Captain Jack will grow old. It's just that for fans, it's a great relief that the Pirates of the Caribbean series can continue.
Also, there are Easter eggs after the end of the film, so it's worth waiting.
