Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Summary
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is set in the colonial era of Britain in the ages of pirates, curses, and treasure. The story follows Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, two unlikely comrades, as they embark on a journey in order to save the heroine, Elizabeth Swann, from the treacherous hands of Captain Barbossa and the darkness which surrounds him and the entire plot. The movie begins by flashing back to the first encounter of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. While Elizabeth and her father, Wetherby Swann, were traveling to port royal they ran across a shipwreck with the sole survivor being Will Turner. Upon bringing him on board young Elizabeth notices a golden medallion around his neck that would clearly signify his relations to piracy to the British soldiers. In his best interest, she removed the medallion and kept it, in order to keep him safe. The movie then jumps to eight years past this situation where Will and Elizabeth are grown up young adults. Elizabeth and Will have always had romantic feelings for one another but due to social class differences could not act on them. When Commodore Norrington proposes to Elizabeth she falls off a cliff in shock, however, when she hits the water the golden medallion sends off a signal to the Black Pearl and its captain, Barbossa. This signifies the location of the medallion, something Barbossa has been searching for, which ignites their attack on Port Royal. Meanwhile, Jack Sparrow saves Elizabeth from the water but is then greeted by Commodore Norrington and sent to jail for charges of piracy. Jack Sparrow escapes from jail and then hides in Will Turners blacksmith shop which is how the two meet and form their unlikely alliance. Once Elizabeth has been captured, due to her possession of the medallion, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow unite for various reasons to take down Captain Barbossa and save Elizabeth. They then collect a crew and commandeer a ship and begin on their pursuit on Barbossa. Along the way Will Turner learns of Jack Sparrows connection with Captain Barbossa and his true motives for helping him return Elizabeth to safety. Jack Sparrow use to be the captain of the Black Pearl until one of his men, Captain Barbossa, betrayed him and marooned him on an island before reaching the Aztec treasure. The Aztec treasure turned out to be cursed and created zombies of the night out of Captain Barbossa and his crew. Jack Sparrow also realizes that Will Turner is the son of Bill Turner, a former crewmember of Captain Barbossa's ship, and the key to unlocking the curse. This gives Jack Sparrow leverage against Captain Barbossa and will in the long run help him accomplish the task of getting revenge by killing Captain Barbossa. Once Jack Sparrow and Will Turner reach the Isle de Muerte, where the Aztec treasure was originally taken from, they enter the cave to rescue Elizabeth. However, when Captain Barbossa realizes that Elizabeth was not the cure to the curse he is enraged which is where Jack Sparrow offers up Will Turner in exchange for the Black Pearl and Elizabeth. Captain Barbossa agrees, but has an alternative plan to his agreement. Captain Barbossa maroons both Elizabeth and Jack on the same island that Jack was marooned at before and leaves them to their deaths. In order to be found and saved Elizabeth sets up a fire to attract attention to any passing by ships. Luckily, Commodore Norrington saw the signal and came to their rescue. Jack is put under arrest again, and Elizabeth bargains for Will's safety by agreeing to Norrington's marriage proposal. Commodore Norrington obliges resentfully to ensure the safety of WIll and then Jack, Elizabeth and Norrington all work together to devise a plan to defeat Captain Barbossa and his crew. They set up a distraction and carefully plan out when they will attack in accordance to Captain Barbossa's plan to transform back to mortality so that they may take advantage of his mortality when the opportunity aries to kill him.They succeed in this plan and Jack is finally able to get revenge and kill Barbossa himself. Once they're plan has been successfully completed, Commodore Norrington, Jack, Elizabeth, and Will along with the rest of the British army on board return to Port Royal. Jack is to be hung for piracy, however Will Turner assists in his escape feeling that he owes it to him due to the bond they formed through the movie. Will Turner is then pardoned by Governor Wetherby and is allowed to marry Elizabeth and be excused from her previous promise to Commodore Norrington. All is well again and the movie ends by watching Jack Sparrow sail away on the Black Pearl and Will and Elizabeth passionately kissing in triumph.
