And yet because it is consistent and because you can never catch Depp making fun of the character, it rises to a kind of cockamamie sincerity. Sparrow's behavior is so rococo that other members of the cast actually comment on it. To take this material seriously would make it unbearable.

He is a peacock in full display.Ĭonsider how boring it would have been if Depp had played the role straight, as an Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks (Sr. There's some talk about how he got too much sun while he was stranded on that island, but his behavior shows a lifetime of rehearsal. There has never been a pirate, or for that matter a human being, like this in any other movie. It can be said that his performance is original in its every atom. Don't mistake me: This is not a criticism, but admiration for his work. Depp in particular seems to be channeling a drunken drag queen, with his eyeliner and the way he minces ashore and slurs his dialogue ever so insouciantly.

I also lost count of how many times Jack Sparrow is the helpless captive of both the British and the pirates, and escapes from the chains/brig/noose/island.Īnd yet the movie made me grin at times, and savor the daffy plot, and enjoy the way Depp and Rush fearlessly provide performances that seem nourished by deep wells of nuttiness. It's fun at first to see a pirate swordfight, but eventually it gets to the point where the sword-clashing, yardarm-swinging and timber-shivering get repetitious. Yes? The only reason I bring this up is that the battle scenes actually feel as if they go on forever. Excuse me for supplying logic where it is manifestly not wanted, but doesn't that mean there's no point in fighting them? There's a violent battle at one point between the Black Pearl crew and sailors of the Royal Navy, and unless I am mistaken the sailors would all eventually have to be dead because the skeletons could just keep on fighting forever, until they won. Now here's the important part: Because they're already dead, they cannot be killed. By day they look like normal if dissolute humans, but by the light of the moon, they're revealed as skeletal cadavers. Barbossa and his crew then ran afoul of an ancient curse that turned them into the Undead. Barbossa (Rush), who led a mutiny aboard Sparrow's pirate ship, the Black Pearl, and left Capt. Jack Sparrow (Depp) has a deep hatred for Capt. She must somehow secretly pose for the crucial painting without the knowledge of Vermeer's wife, avoid Van Ruijven's grasp, and protect herself from the cruel gossip of the world of a 17th century servant.Pointless? See if you can follow me here.

Vermeer's wealthy patron and sole means of support, Van Ruijven, commissions him to paint Griet with the intent that he will have her for himself before it is finished. Griet, played by Scarlett Johansson, is a maid in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer, played by British actor Colin Firth. This masterful film attempts to recreate the mysterious girl's life. Little is known about the girl in the painting, it is speculated that she was a maid who lived in the house of the painter along with his family and other servants, though there is no historical evidence. This film, adapted from a work of fiction by author Tracy Chevalier, tells a story about the events surrounding the creation of the painting "Girl With a Pearl Earring" by 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer.
