While Elizabeth and her crew were in the brig aboard the Flying Dutchman, James Norrington released them, stating that he's chosen their side, allowing them to make their escape. Upon reaching the rope connecting the Empress to the Dutchman, James and Elizabeth help the crew of the Empress escape the Dutchman. However, Elizabeth was still angry with Norrington. James insisted that he had no part in her father's death, stating that he lamented his other misdeeds. Finally seeing the truth, Elizabeth requested that he go with her. But before he could answer, Bootstrap Bill Turner appeared from the top deck and went on his way down. [11] [links]

James Norrington was a son of Admiral Lawrence Norrington of the British Royal Navy and an unnamed woman. When he was about five or six years old, he followed his father on a mission to capture Captain Edward Teague, a Pirate Lord and Keeper of the Code. In the midst of a chaotic battle occurring when Teague's crew came to free Teague and his son Jack Sparrow from Lawrence Norrington's ship, James was knocked into the sea and rescued by Teague. Lawrence, as grateful as he was, was humiliated that his son was rescued by a pirate, saying that he would have preferred to saw his son drown instead of being rescued by a pirate. This events marked the young James' life. [3]

As a newly minted commodore, Norrington exercised restraint in his proposal to Elizabeth, who greatly underestimated his love for her. Later, when Elizabeth stood by Will Turner in protecting Jack Sparrow, a pirate captured twice by his men, Norrington knew that he could never win Elizabeth's heart. Accepting defeat nobly, he parted with the civil warning to Will, "This is a beautiful sword, I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life", making it clear he expected Will to treat Elizabeth with the utmost respect. It also showed that, despite the sword widely having been believed to be crafted by John Brown, Norrington at least deduced the truth and acknowledged it and Will's talent. [5]

After being found adrift at sea, Norrington presented the heart of Davy Jones, along with the Letters of Marque to Lord Cutler Beckett. [9] He regained his "life" through his newfound service to Beckett, a decision he would later come to regret. Though he merely hoped to win the commission as a privateer, Norrington was reinstated to the Royal Navy [10] and Beckett gave him the rank of admiral for the East India Company's fleet. Now under the employ of the East India Trading Company, Norrington was given back his sword from his days as commodore. And with it, he helped command Beckett's Armada during the War Against Piracy.

Norrington pulled out his sword and told Elizabeth to go and reluctantly said that he would follow her, Elizabeth knew that he was lying. He told Elizabeth that even though their paths have crossed, they wouldn't truly be together. After James kissed Elizabeth, Norrington was caught by Bootstrap Bill Turner, who alerted Davy Jones and his crew of a prisoner escape. [links]

During this time, James Norrington became a broken man, he started drinking heavily, and was found still wearing his Commodore uniform, albeit now rags, in Tortuga, in a bar where he applied for a position on the Black Pearl, to become a pirate himself. He became largely concerned with regaining his honor in any way possible, however, and about getting revenge on the people that he believed ruined his life. [9] here

“Because I’m known for period films, I’m in a position where I can break that preconception. The style of acting in ‘Colette’ is much more into that American naturalism style that you wouldn’t normally put into that English period film. If you take ‘The Imitation Game,’ it’s much more traditional English period film acting, which I love. But with ‘Colette,’ we were all quite interested in breaking that down.”

Knightley began the evening by recounting the time when, at age nine, she organized a protest and stage a sit-in with her friends across from the school field after they were told they weren’t allowed to play football with the boys. “I’ve always had a f**k you attitude,”she admitted.

[seemakashyap]

In her native England, she is best-known for her starring roles in period films, including Joe Wright’s adaptation of Jane Austen‘s seminal novel “Pride & Prejudice.” Knightley was enamoured with the novel and the character of Elizabeth Bennett long before she earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for playing her. here

That certainly helped when she auditioned for the role of Elizabeth Swann in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” “The day I went for the audition there was a problem with the tubes and I was late. I can’t handle being late so I was in a bad mood and I thought ‘this is stupid, I’m never going to get it.’ I think I was just angry in the audition and it worked. She [Elizabeth Swann] is quite angry though, isn’t she? She’s tied up a lot and the corsets – you would be angry, wouldn’t you?”

[Dereckson]

That relationship carried on into two other period films based on well-received novels: “Atonement,” for which she earned Golden Globe and BAFTA bids for Best Actress, and “Anna Karenina.” Her latest film is a period film of a very different nature. Directed by Wash Westmoreland (“Still Alice”), “Colette” tells the story of the famous French writer who created her own classic texts. This, Knightley says, was the perfect chance to show period films can be something quite different. [links]

“I was obsessed. I used to write letters to the sisters from each other, I used to have a dolls house, which was Pemberley. Like many people, I was completely obsessed with the character. When my agent said they want to offer it to you, I said please turn it down because I can’t do that, that’s too frightening. Luckily, she didn’t listen to me. I just loved her so much.” [links]
