“You’re forgetting one thing,
mate: I’m Captain Jack Sparrow”
- Jack Sparrow
On May 20, the new “Pirates
of the Caribbean” made its way
to the big screen. This fourth film
in Disney’s series continues the
journey of the pirate Jack Sparrow
(played once again by Johnny
Depp). As the end of the last film
hints, this one is about the search
for the elusive Fountain of Youth.
The movie starts off slow with
Jack alone and with no knowledge
of the whereabouts of his precious
ship, the Black Pearl, but gets you
caught up to speed with the events
since the last film.
The new film has a mixture
of humor, action and love. In the
movie, Jack shows a side of him
self that is rarely seen: his feel
ings. The feelings he has are not
for just any women but for his old
flame, Angelica (Penelope Cruz),
the daughter and first mate of
Blackbeard (Ian McShane). The
relationship between Sparrow and
Angelica shows audiences one to
contrast what he had with women
in the other films.
The film starts off with a com
mon story line for the -i*Pirates”
movies of the main characters off
to look for some item, but as the
film continues, you get a number
of smaller story lines, including
the short appearance of Jack’s
dad, played by Keith Richards.
This movie also has the return
of Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey
Rush), but he returns in a way
most would not expect.
Many more pirate myths make
their way to the big screen in this
film, including both zombies and
mermaids. The 3D version of this
movie wasn’t bad but left some
