Rob Marshall, the new director and former director of "Chicago" and "Memoirs of a Geisha," said that for this old-themed film, the biggest challenge at the beginning of its creation was to add fresh elements.
When asked if he was afraid that new films would be criticized badly by film critics, Depp said: "Fear, film critics will always scare me, but I think the audience will like this movie, and we are all committed to adding new elements to this movie. He said he needed only three film critics, all from his family, namely his lover, French star Vanessa Paradis and their two children.
According to the first group of viewers who have watched "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides", Captain Jack's look remains the same, with complicated headwear and costumes, and heavy eyeliner. However, Jack seems to be less nervous and his expression is always more serious. Depp said at the premiere: "If everyone is tired of the Pirate series or something else, then I will stop.

"
The film tells the story of Captain Jack being entrusted by the British king to search for the "Fountain of Eternal Life", and his old friend Captain Barbosa accompanied him. On the way, Jack met the old lover Angelica (Penelope Cruz). The old lover’s father, the pirate "Blackbeard", also joined them. They went through various adventures and finally found the fountain of youth, but they all had ghosts and conflicts. Continuously. It is worth mentioning that, unlike "Kung Fu Panda 2," the movie hides a section of Cruz's easter egg behind the 8-minute credits.
The special effects of "Mermaid" are eye-catching
As the main story of the movie turns from the ocean to the mainland, there are a lot less thrilling naval battle scenes, which disappoints many viewers who like the first three movies. The most visual aspect is the display of the mermaid colony. Captain Jack and his party passed the mermaid waters when looking for the fountain of youth. Those beautiful and sexy mermaids seem to be eye-catching, but in fact they rely on color to lure to prey on humans. The film uses a larger length to show the confrontation between mermaids and humans, and wonderful underwater special effects. Can be described as pleasing to the eye. Jack and his team finally caught a mermaid and transported it all the way to the cave of Bulaoquan. This mermaid also had an extremely important influence on the ending.
Depp's "play" is even more brilliant.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is the first time the series was shot with a 3D camera. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional effect is not obvious, which is quite different from "Avatar". During the screening, the audience was relatively calm. Only when Jack fled in London at the beginning, the funny actions caused a little laughter, but this did not affect the fans' enthusiasm for Depp in the slightest. Before the press conference on the 14th, fans shouted Depp's name with great enthusiasm. It took him more than three minutes to autograph the reporter.
Gathering many big-name celebrities
Jerry Bruckheimer, Rob Marshall, Ted Elliott, plus Terry Rousio, there is a powerful "iron triangle" composed of producers, directors, and screenwriters Guarantee, whether it is a new character in this film, or a continuation of the old characters from the first three parts, they will be full of vitality. One of the most eye-catching is undoubtedly our Captain Jack Sparrow, who has attracted the attention of the audience no matter his past or future. "It can be said that the shaping of characters is a systematic project. The focus is not on a single point, but the entire process of growth and development of the characters." Johnny Depp said, "I fully believe that this trip will make Captain Jack even better. Know yourself deeply."
One of the screenwriters, Lucio, added: "Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the old characters that continue in this film. He has not changed because the audience still has expectations and don’t want him to change. I don’t want him to change either. Moreover, his presence affects everyone around him. The most interesting thing is the rivalry between Jack and Angelica. Jack has no rules for this beautiful woman who has a mind to compete with him, because this woman is like him. When the game meets the opponent, the same selfishness is also the same scheming.”
Undoubtedly, Penelope Cruz’s charm also adds to the film a lot. The internationally renowned Oscar winner, reunited with Johnny Depp in this film. Many years ago, they had a wonderful collaboration in "Drug Lord". The existing achievements have not stopped Penelope from trying new roles. "I am a big fan of the first three'pirates'," Penelope said, "not to mention that Johnny is still involved. This is an adventure for any actor. You are adventurous every day. You will never get bored.” The
most challenging character is the villain of the film. Bruckheimer and Marshall focused their attention on the actor Ian. · Mike Shawn. He has made extraordinary achievements on both the screen and the silver screen. His reputation in the film and television industry has spanned more than half a century. His outstanding performance in this film far surpassed that of the Western series "Dead Wood" produced by HOB. Played by Al Swearengen (Al Swearengen).
"Blackbeard can be said to be the most despicable and shameless among the pirates." McShawn said. "There are countless legends about him. Regardless of whether those legends are true or false, he is a myth among pirates." "Blackbeard is a brilliant character." Johnny Depp explained in "On Strangers" In "The Waves", Blackbeard is justly punished by Jack, "If you only look at the surface, this seems to be a very flat character, but the deeper you get, the deeper your understanding of him will be. You will understand why he became a heart-like character. Rock’s cold-blooded killer, in order to achieve his goal, he can sacrifice anyone around him, all of which makes him frightening among pirates. I don’t think anyone is more suitable for this role than Ian McCarshaun. Of course, I mean. It’s acting ability."
