But if I do not understand two then how can I go ahead with three. And so after a better understanding of two I saw three. You should know this. For all my efforts I was still robbed by the pirates. I was led happily out into the open sea before being robbed. I was enjoying the first third of the minutes film. Davy Jones's Locker is a ghost realm of the netherworld where the dead Captain Jack Sparrow is being kept for eternity.
There appears to be some oriental influence in At World's End. Firstly of course we are introduced to a Chinese pirate, Captain Sao Feng. Secondly, the costumes and all were very well designed in an exquisite oriental fashion.
The popular animated film, released by Disney in the west has a bathhouse theme. The part where thousands of strange and curious yet harmless rounded stone-like crab helping Jack move his ship, The Black Pearl across a desert aroused my attention to this perspective. It was through the hands, eyes and imagination of the acclaimed animation master, Hayao Miyazaki that made famous the approach of detailing stories with thousands of mini little intriguing creatures.
And it was fun to watch. I was enjoying At World's End, laughing merrily at all the pirate jokes that the characters are lashing out at one another, feeling the thrill of the sword-fights and of course attracted to the sometimes witty, looney and mad character of Captain Jack Sparrow.
That scene of him engaging himself to his many different personalities while alone in the deserted Davy Jones's Locker is a real gem. But with all the oriental influences, the filmmakers probably did not take note of the teachings of Zen, where less is truly more.
For when after the crew rescued Captain Jack Sparrow and brought him back to the mortal world, it all happened again. The tangling and confusing plots and subplots manifested once more and killed whatever is good about the film. In my opinion, if At World's End had ended after rescuing Captain Jack and had a straight approach in the gathering of forces to deal with Lord Cutler Beckett Tom Hollander and Davy Jones Bill Nighy with a fitting spectacle of a finale fight, the film would have been great.
I was trying to understand the story. In reflection I probably should not for it amounted to nothing. It just isn't worth it. It would be tiring for me just to list them all out. So just be warned that in the film, every character have their own personal agenda.
It is "me" first and "you" later if "you" are still there. If that is the purpose of the story-writers to represent the meaning of how pirates are, then they have succeeded. In fact it was so successful that they lost me. It bored me so much I no longer laughed at the jokes. It dragged on so long I no longer felt compelled to see the ending.
I just want the film to end there and then. Enough was enough. This entire Pirate series is like a ride on a pirate ship in a theme park, it was thrilling for a start but as it swing back and forth too many times the nauseas will come and when it stops you find yourself displaced nowhere.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a fine example of a good film gone bad because it had too many tangling tales to tell. I maintain that it is worth watching for the first third of the film but save yourself from seasickness in the middle just so you can enjoy the spectacular fight sequence toward the end. FAQ Is this movie based on a book?
After 10 years, wouldn't the captain be able to stay on land and leave the Dutchman, considering his love was real?
Details Edit. Release date May 25, United States. Here, the eventual Miss Moneypenny actor Naomie Harris gets an opportunity to further develop the character of Tia Dalma in an interesting and tragic backstory that clarifies her motives.
The nature of this great sacrifice only becomes clear later in the film, but their short-lived reunion makes it obvious that the pair have history and something sad pulled her and Davy Jones apart years earlier. The third film in the series reveals that Tia Dalma is actually the sea goddess Calypso, bound to human form when her affair with Davy Jones ended with his betrayal of her to the Pirate Lords.
Davy Jones sold out Calypso and tricked her into assuming human form, only for his fellow pirate lords to trap her in her mortal body thus leading Tia Dalma to revive Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa as she needs both of them present to return to her goddess form. By the closing moments of Pirates of The Caribbean : At World's End , Tia Dalma's power far outstrips not only the human antagonists but even her love interest and eventual enemy Davy Jones who is capable of killing the Kraken itself.
Cathal Gunning has been writing about movies and TV online since Calypso's powers were only eclipsed by the great god of the sea Poseidon himself, and only Zeus , chief amongst all gods, could command her. As with all beings of great might, she was both a nurturer and a destroyer. Calypso had dominion over all the seas, and all sailors everywhere both loved and feared her. It was she who sent forth the Flying Dutchman to rescue souls lost at sea.
Despite being harsh and untameable as the wine-dark seas, Calypso fell in love with a young sailor named Davy Jones. And she rewarded that love by giving Davy Jones the Flying Dutchman , charging him with the sacred task of collecting all the poor souls who died at sea and ferrying them to the worlds beyond.
Because of that love, Davy Jones agreed to set foot on dry land once every ten years to be with Calypso. True to his word, Jones spent the next ten years faithfully carrying out the duty. But whenever Davy Jones came ashore, Calypso was nowhere to be found, for the seas are fickle and unpredictable, as was the powerful goddess who ruled that domain.
The First Brethren Court binds Calypso in her bones. Jones showed them how to bind her to human form. With his help, the Pirate King and the Brethren tricked the sea goddess, and bound her in her bones.
Calypso was imprisoned into the body of a mortal guise: Tia Dalma. Only with all Nine Pieces of Eight could Calypso be free. With Calypso's fiery and unpredictable nature bound, the Brethren Court deemed the seas safe to travel as they so pleased. Soon Davy Jones' grief and guilt at what he had done became so great, he carved his own heart and locked it away in the Dead Man's Chest.
Abandoning his duty, Jones gradually transformed into an amalgamation of human and tentacled sea creature to reflect the monster inside, and any who joined his crew suffered similar disfigurements. Calypso reflected on this and later said that the man had become a monster. She began living out of a shack on the Pantano River. She kept with her a locket that matched one carried by Davy Jones, and would play a mournful tune that hinted at their lost love.
Dalma befriended Jack Sparrow during his early life; the man who would go on to become the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea , and thus integral to Calypso's desire to escape her human form.
And so, through undetermined circumstances, she resurrected Barbossa from the dead and tricked him to summon a meeting of the Brethren and retrieve Jack Sparrow, who was taken to Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken.
Barbossa set off on a mission to free him, and therefore ensured that Jack's Piece of Eight was not lost. They landed in the Locker, where Jack Sparrow noticed that the Pearl was being dragged across the sand by crabs. The ship reached the crew with the help of the crabs that were actually under the control of Calypso. Hector Barbossa and Calypso at Shipwreck Island.
By the time the Black Pearl reached the coast of Shipwreck Island , Barbossa stood on the ship's forecastle, conversing with Tia Dalma, regarding their bargain. The mystic accused him on intending to betray her and therefore reminded him on that he was brought back from the dead by her power, and also, demonstrating her abilities by briefly decomposing Barbossa's right hand, cautioning him of his fate should he fail to keep his end of the bargain.
Barbossa in turn reminded her that she, secretly the goddess Calypso, was the one who needed him; she resurrected Barbossa so he could help retrieve Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker and summon a meeting of the Brethren Court, since only the nine Pirate Lords had the power to free Calypso.
To avoid the risk of the goddess reaching an accord with someone else, Barbossa ordered Pintel and Ragetti to lock Tia Dalma in the brig.
Barbossa remained on deck, glancing at his right hand while contemplating his debt. By this time, the machinations of Lord Cutler Beckett had forced the Brethren Court to convene for the fourth time in its existence, and it was here that Barbossa brought up the notion of releasing Calypso. During the meeting, Ragetti absconded with all but two of the Pirate Lords' Pieces of Eight —the eighth was collected by Barbossa himself from Elizabeth Swann and the ninth from Jack Sparrow. All nine were gathered aboard the Black Pearl , where Tia Dalma had been bound.
Ragetti completed the incantation that would release Calypso, and the pieces of eight set alight. Moments before she was released, Calypso finally learned who had called upon the Brethren Court to capture her all those years ago: Will Turner informed her of Davy Jones' betrayal. Calypso shortly before the incantation sets her free. Enraged, Calypso, still in Dalma's form, grew massive in size, dwarfing the crew of the Pearl. After being freed from her human bonds, Calypso yelled in her native tongue, seemingly as insults to the pirates but in reality it was an incantation, before exploding outwards in a shower of crabs.
Calypso's spirit, now free at last, disappeared into the air, though her influence on events was not ended. As the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman prepared for a showdown, Calypso used all of the power of the seas to unleash a terrible storm, which created a maelstrom between the two fleets.
And the wind from the storm evened the balance for the Pearl and caused Davy Jones to let out a cry of anguish as he realized what the storm signified.
With his last breath, Jones whispered Calypso's name, and toppled into the maelstrom, which soon abated when the Flying Dutchman itself followed its former captain.
