As far as the romance between Will and Elizabeth, I can’t deny that Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley’s chemistry is top notch. They exude so much passion through their expressions alone and their sexual chemistry is just oozing in every one of their interactions. They often interact with several people surrounding them, but the way that they gaze at each other, their eyes full of love and enchantment, makes it feel as if they’re the only two people in the room. Will and Elizabeth are very much like magnets drawn to each other, forced to part for several reasons, but always coming back to one another in the end. Their connection stems from their childhood friendship, the need to fight for each other and their relationship amid the chaos of their lives. At World’s End brings several of these aspects of their relationship to the forefront as they realize several truths about themselves, both together and separately, and choose each other regardless.

I’d be remiss to not mention the two Pirates films following At World’s End . Part of the reason why they never worked is because both films were trying to recreate what the previous movies had lost with Will and Elizabeth’s departure. Their absence really proved that they were the glue that held the first three films together, the human factor in the midst of all the questionable characters running rampant. Their connection with each other and to the larger story helped to ground the films and add an emotional layer to the narrative. Their involvement in the narrative helped to level the playing field, adding rationality and sympathy to the story that the other characters quite simply lacked. Otherwise, the films would have been two and a half hours of unsolicited shenanigans going unchecked.

Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are two characters who, from the first movie until the end of the third movie, experienced the most growth, both individually and together. At World’s End empowered Elizabeth in several ways. She had always had a point of view, but the third film took it to the next level in allowing her to not just react to all the events happening around her. It put her in a position of power, allowing her to make decisions that effected change. Her journey saw Elizabeth completely against a pirate’s life to becoming one herself. She became a leader that everyone, no matter how reluctant, followed. The transformation, from simply being thought of as only a governor’s daughter and a law-abiding woman, to becoming the pirate king, active outside the law, is powerful.

When many think of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, the first thing that might come to mind is Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, the swash-buckling, morally corrupt pirate. But by the time Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End rolled around four years after The Curse of the Black Pearl , it was clear to me that Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner and Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann were the actual heart of the story and the glue that kept the films together. That’s right, I’m saying that Jack Sparrow isn’t the best character in the franchise. Sorry. He is, at best, glorified comedic relief who can’t carry the films on his own. It’s part of the reason why On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales turned out so terrible. Ten years after the release of At World’s End , I’m choosing to focus on Elizabeth and Will’s journey, how they’re the heart of the film, how Jack’s final act to save Will proved him unselfish and cemented their bond, and how the culmination of the couple’s story served as a nice final chapter to a book that should have remained closed.

For Will, his journey becomes that of realizing that he will forever be a pirate no matter what. And instead of trying to reject this side of him, he used it to try and help his father be free of serving his sentence on Davy Jones’ ship. He tells Elizabeth that he has to fight this battle for his father, but it’s also for himself in many ways. The need to have a parent be proud of him, the need to do what feels right, and the need to prove himself so as to no longer be looked down upon for being a simple blacksmith all play a role in his actions. His and Elizabeth’s belief in each other, their ultimate belief that people, even pirates, will make the right choice in the end, make up large aspects of their character traits. Their journey as individuals is what brings them back together as a couple. From some of the (contrived) drama left over from Dead Man’s Chest , Elizabeth and Will realize that they had a lot of the same reasons for why they make certain decisions in that they were both trying to protect their loved ones through their actions.

At World’s End also brought Jack’s moral journey to a close as well. For so long, the captain of the Black Pearl was only in it for himself and his actions proved selfish and morally questionable in several instances. Whether it was trying to get back his ship, sending Will to deal with Davy Jones, or allowing his ship (and everyone on it) to be destroyed because of his actions, Jack never stopped to consider what he could do for others. The finale of At World’s End showed us Sparrow’s humanity. His giving up on his dream of being one with the sea and living forever in exchange for Will’s life spoke volumes of his affection for the younger man and the bond they’d built over the course of three films. It was the only selfless moment he had where he expected nothing in return. He wanted to make sure that Will didn’t die and that he did that for him speaks volumes about the depth of their relationship. Without Will and Elizabeth, Jack Sparrow simply can’t carry a movie and his comedic adventures are left empty without the dynamics in which his relationship with the couple provided. more

Even though much is learned from this commentary, much of it comes of as fluff between Verbinski and Depp. A lot of this fluff for their production and the cast and crew comes without much insight. At certain times, they throw out names and call them geniuses with little back story into who they’re actually talking about. Also, occurrences on set are brushed on but never explained. “Remember when my wig came off?” cracks Depp at one point. That’s it. No more explanation on something that you would think would have been a daily occurrence on this particular set. The two also hint at a fight on set between Verbinski and the special effects team during the deserted island scene. Again, no back story or discourse is given on the subject.

[caveden]

Okay. Enough preamble. This DVD offers three separate commentaries featuring various members of the cast and crew, but rather than hear the insight Jack Davenport had to offer – we love you, Jack – it’s probably best to hear from the film’s director and star. So here, without any further waggery or warm-up, is what was learned from their commentary.

Commentators: Gore Verbinski (director), Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), utterance of the word “fantastic” more

[WatchIn]

Welcome to Commentary Commentary, where we sit and listen to filmmakers talk about their work, then share the most interesting parts. In this edition, Jeremy Kirk puts on his rubbers and heads out to sea where scalawags, rapscallions, and supernatural shenanigans await. Oh, and he also listened to Gore Verbinski’s and Johnny Depp’s commentary on Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

“Jack’s breath is just a donkey’s ass.” – Verbinski

“When I saw the trailer for the first time, there’s this giant, epic thing to the trailer, and when we were doing the film, it felt really intimate.” – Johnny Depp more

So in answer to your question his aim was to inflict pain and suffering so that the pirates are forced to assemble the Brethren Court. Him saying "Finally" is a acknowledgment of getting them to signal the court and start his pursuit.

[storm]

When all those doomed to die sing along, somebody goes up to Lord Beckett, who is sitting at a table and says "They've. started to sing." And Beckett says "Finally."

[badjava]

In the film At Worlds Ends Lord Beckett is appointed representative of the King of England. As he becomes more ambitious his next focus is to discover the Brethren Court and eliminate it in hope of rendering the worldwide pirates leaderless. more

In Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End, the opening scene is of a large group of people queuing up to be hanged. A few people are hanged at one time, and the last set that we see includes a boy who's about 10 years old, holding a coin. Before he is hanged, he starts singing "Hoist the Colours High," a pirate song.

[silver]

Meetings of the Brethren Court were convened by means of a "call" intended to draw all nine Lords to a single location. This call took the form of a sea shanty, Hoist the Colours, known to all pirates.

[yuone]

Why did he say this? Was he waiting for them to sing? From the scenes, I thought he was hanging the people because they were suspected of pirate activities. But the song seemed important somehow to Beckett. What's going on? more

[Harmton]

After the crew discovers the dead Kraken washed up on the shore, Barbossa questions Jack about his dream to become the next Captain of the Flying Dutchman.

[SmokeTooMuch]

Jack's and Will's first endeavor together was them stealing a ship, but to do that, they had to take a boat and hide under it to be able to breathe underwater. It was a brilliant but mad idea.

[UndeadCircus]

Nonetheless, he does end up doing mostly good deeds even though he often manipulates others into doing what he needs them to do. Luckily for Elizabeth, she later managed to outplay him. here
