![]() In fact, the same official later breaks the chain of command anyway to order the crew to abandon the ship, begging the question of what impeded him to do the same minutes earlier to avoid its destruction. ![]() Being under direct attack and watching his immediate superior issue no orders at all (and looking visibly unable to do so) would have been considered a textbook example of a situation mandating the guy to take command and order to fire himself. In real life, while proper command was certainly a big deal in the uptight Royal Navy (and we could expect Becket to be fussy about it), there were basic circumstances where lieutenants would not only be allowed, but expected to take initiative on the best interests of his ship, as they are today. At the end of the film, the Endeavour is destroyed at will by the Pearl and the Dutchman because Becket freezes on sheer Villainous BSoD and his second-in-command will not break the chain of command to order to fire back.Promotion to Admiral was based strictly on seniority (hence the later change in the rank of Commodore), so short of murdering every Captain above him and at least one Admiral, there is no way the East India Trading Company could "influence" such a promotion (having a dismissed Captain reinstated is within the realm of possibility, though, albeit unlikely). Norrington is promoted to Admiral (from Commodore, a temporary position appointed to or held by the most senior post-Captain, made a substantive rank in 1997).This last point is rather baffling, as it makes the same sense as if they had portrayed Shanghai as a city full of mosques and people with beards and turbans. At the time the story is set, Singapore was a small village within the Malayan Sultanate of Johor, not a decrepit port-city full of Chinese imagery like we see in the film. Artistic License – History: The film's portrayal of Singapore is both fantastic and inaccurate.Will: And after which betrayal did you cut out your heart, I wonder? Argument of Contradictions: Jack and Barbossa get into one after Jack expresses support for Elizabeth's desire to fight.ĭavy Jones: She pretended to love me.She then points out that it was her tempestuous, flighty nature that had led him to fall in love with her in the first place, so he's being a hypocrite to condemn her for not remaining true to that. Appeal to Inherent Nature: Calypso justifies her failure to meet Davey Jones after his ten-year sojourn aboard the Dutchman with this trope. ![]() And Starring: The cast roll here ends "with Chow Yun-fat and Geoffrey Rush".However, nothing really major happens - the dead pirate is a nobody, and none of the assembled pirates really want a fight to break out at their meeting - despite a fight having broken out minutes before over the course of action to be taken in response to Beckett's declaration of war. Captain Teague, Jack's father, shoots another for questioning the pirate code. Aggressive Negotiations: This is played with.Davy Jones' very emotional reunion with Tia Dalma and Barbossa's conversation with Jack next to the dead Kraken are several good examples, as is Jack's brief discussion with his father, Captain Teague. Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: A surprising number of them.Abnormal Ammo: During the climactic battle in the maelstrom, Pintel and Ragetti stuff Jack the undead monkey into a cannon and fire him towards the Flying Dutchman.Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End provides examples of: Unrelated to the 2013 movie The World's End or the video game World's End (though this movie did receive its own video game adaptation, by Eurocom and Disney Interactive Studios). The film’s events are adapted into a world for Kingdom Hearts III. This installment was the most expensive film ever made at the time, costing $300 million before marketing, a record it held until Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in 2011 ($378.5 million). It resolves with the final showdown between the forces of Cutler Beckett (now with Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman as their flagship), and the assembled pirate forces of the world, with an angry sea goddess thrown into the mix. The third installment chronicles the adventures of Will, Elizabeth, and a newly resurrected Captain Barbossa in their journey to retrieve Jack from the afterlife. At World's End (2007) is the third movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
