140 million, 200 million, and then the 300 million investment of the third "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", I firmly believe that this extravagance of movies is by no means comparable to the Communist Party, and only "corrupt" capitalism Only the country can leave such a stunning stroke in the long river of film and television.
But the perfection of the sequel seems to require more effort than money. "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" has too many flaws, but I gave it three and a half stars for Johnny Depp. If it is a percentage system, it is 75 points. For the first two, I gave 70 and 100. In my opinion, the brilliant, compact, and quite flashy Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is an insurmountable mountain of Hollywood production.
Therefore, the average score of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is 81.6666 points, and the accumulated budget cost of 640 million is not in vain. In just four years, the Beijing Olympic Games still cost 65 billion yuan. I forgot to mention that we are calculated in US dollars, which is equivalent to 450 billion yuan.
Back to the topic, let's talk about "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", which is bitter and mean, focusing on "hard injuries".
The story is roughly divided into two parts. It's too complicated, and I can only use 1.2.3 to express it so as not to be confused.
Stage 1: Elizabeth, Captain Barossa and his party search for Jack.
(1) Negotiations with the Singapore pirate leader Sao Feng before the rescue operation. This paragraph is really long enough, but it explains a lot of things, Captain Jack, the pirate meeting, the nautical chart of the land of the living dead, the secret collusion between William and the East India Company, and the "Black Pearl" that runs through the entire series- A sea giant that symbolizes freedom.
(2) Go to the land of the living dead. I don't know if Johnny Depp was too expensive or if the producers wanted to make Orlando and Knightley popular. Before and after Jack's appearance, there were too many scenes where the young couple rescued the team from dire straits. The first scene was the "big tsunami" they encountered when they went to the land of the living dead, and the pirate king behind them vowed to lead the pack of heroes to defeat." "The Flying Dutchman", and the meaty sea proposal, the scene is set, and money can really make some good things! And Jack's first appearance is strange and fantastic (in line with his usual style), but it is somewhat calm and painless. As for the "sunrise day road, sea and sea" of the curse TMD, I didn't see it. A little uplifting.
Stage 2: Pirate Conference on Shipwreck Island. This stage is purely a typical case of "internal yong and external disturbance". If the struggle with Calythorpe and Davy Jones is a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, then the war with the East India Company is the Communist Party's struggle against fascism, and occasional harassment by the Kuomintang . And Jack and William, comparable to General Zhang Xueliang, who had mixed merits and demerits, were saviors for a while, and traitors for a while.
Davy Jones and Beckett are both series characters, and the most curious is Calythorpe, who made his grand debut in At World's End. The dual identities of beauty and sea god, because of her manic and violent character, she was imprisoned in the witch's body by nine pirate leaders, and the one who manipulated all this was the lover who was abandoned by her and hated because of her love - in my opinion, the sex is unparalleled Mr. Octopus - Deep Sea Hades Davy Jones. Thinking about these titles and halos is enough to make all fans look forward to the appearance of the goddess.
The result was a big disappointment, a witch with gigantism + hazy weather + maelstrom = unappetizing. As for the love entanglement between her and the Deep Sea Hades, it's just a dispensable conversation in the cell, and I can't wait to stage a good show of "love to the depths of the wind and frost, swords and swords are fierce, and the love is endless." Woolen cloth! The audience is always happy for this kind of hot and perverted entanglement, not to mention the ruler of the sea.
OK, the plot is almost the same, I want to talk about the details of the characters' personalities.
There isn't a single good guy in Pirates of the Caribbean, which makes each character's image unique and distinct. Captain Jack is cunning and cunning by nature; Elizabeth is stubborn and self-willed, and goes through fire and water for love (my daughter breaks her leg sooner or later); William is two-faced, but has deep affection for his family and friends; the witch is mysterious and kind; Captain Barossa is greedy for life and fear of death , there is no lack of heroism at critical moments; Davy Jones has a ferocious face, but has the most vulnerable heart in the world; Jeffrey was born a sailor, the helmsman in the tsunami, Jack's old valet, and his pet monkeys and macaws is responsible for gags. Not to mention the fat and thin duo, the whole series of clowns, cute, pretentious, stupid, is simply the engine of laughter.
And Beckett, the initiator of the film "Bad to the End", is too bad, the more tragic the end, the happier the audience is.
Looking at the old characters that run through the series, they are still vividly displayed in "At World's End", and the new characters are simply rubbish stuffed into the eyeballs.
First choice Sao Feng: a pirate wearing clothes and steaming a sauna, a hard worker who died a long time ago, a ghost who Elizabeth mistook for Carlythorpe, a fallen oriental man who has no taste, no innovation and no ambition ! ——Fa Ge is really speechless in Hollywood!
Let's talk about Caly Thorpe: I haven't seen her real body from beginning to end, and I can't wait to mention it when I talk about the plot. The foreshadowing work has been carried out very well, and in the end, I didn't even put a fart, unfortunately! Regret! Biggest regret!
Can you talk about the biggest darling of the Caribbean, "Jack": Jack's own performance is as depressing, cute and candid as always, but there is no major breakthrough in the rules. And the "Jack" conceived by Real Jack in the desolation of the Land of the Living Dead, whether on a ship, in a cell, or hanging from Real Jack's hair, behaves almost exactly like Real Jack. Why are there so many virtual images? It's a waste! At this point, I really learned from "Detective".
It's really not easy for the audience to please, so I watched it with relish from the beginning to the evening, and I also had to criticize it with complaints. But just can't help but want to talk about it, it is worthy of China's mighty piracy cause.
By the way, I also watched Jason Statham's "Death on the Run" yesterday. It was exciting, crazy, and bloody, but I just couldn't write anything.
Because I don't love it, I just need to have a heartless enjoyment. After watching it, I fall asleep, and I am very happy.
