The Pirates of the Caribbean
My favourite work of art/entertainment is the movie The Pirates of the Caribbean. It is an action/comedy and there is a romance between Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). Johnny Depp starrs captain Jack Sparrow. The movie is directed by Gore Verbinski and it is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Will Turner is a blacksmith and he is in love with the governor’s daughter Elizabeth Swann. One night The Black Pearl (a big pirate ship) attacks Port Royal and the pirates kidnap Elizabeth. Earlier that day Will had confronted Captain Jack Sparrow and he put Jack into prison. After the attack Jack tells Will that he was the captain of The Black Pearl before Barbossa (a pirate) took over and he knows where they are taking Elizabeth. They follow The Black Pearl to the treasure island “Isla de Muerta”, but Jack is not interested in saving Elizabeth. He is only interested in the medallion, which Elizabeth took from Will when she found him on a shipwreck several years ago.
The first time I saw the movie was at the cinema with a couple of friends. It was fun. There is a lot of humour in the movie, the character Jack Sparrow is very funny and special. After I had seen this movie I started to like comedy/action movies. There is also humour in the parts which are scary and that is why I like it so much. I remember that I was smiling when we left the cinema and we talked about the movie all the way home.
I also think it is a really good movie because it makes you imagine what it was like to live in the 16th century.
I have seen it a dozen of times and I still like it after all these years, but maybe it is the fun parts in the movie, which are so special that you do not get tired of it.
