PotC The script writers pattern (possible spoilers)
Ok I have finaly managed to put everything together properly wit this theory..So imma give it its own thread:
The script writers for PotC have said in the commentary for movie 1. That when writing a screenplay for a movie..they always have a teaser kiss just slap bang in the middle so it keeps everyone wondering...and then the real kiss happens at the end..
movie 1
Beginning: Liz starts off with Norrington..
Middle: teaser Will/Liz possible kiss
End: They kiss at the end
movie 2
Beginning: She starts off with Will.
Middle: teaser Liz/Jack possible kiss
End: They Kiss at the end
If you take their rule and put it over the trilogy as a whole which is ONE BIG STORY..you can see what they are doing:
Movie 1: they have started with Will/Liz
Movie 2: teaser moment Jack/Liz possible relationship
Movie 3: Jack/Liz
The writers said they didn’t want the Kiss in the early draft of movie 2 they removed it but then put it back in. They never said WHY they did this though. If they did it would give away the end of the trilogy which is Jack/Liz. People think that its because of the age thing and her cheating on Will. OH PLEASE! Disney isn’t stupid... that’s what the BASIS of the Trilogy is about. Her cheating on Will and Will mirroring Davy Jones!
OK. The writers realized that it’s HARD to put their typical "kiss rule" (where the girl ends up with who she kisses) at the end of movie 2 when its a in fact the middle part of a TRILOGY, which is one big story as a whole..The overall trilogy and how it all ends is what is more important to ultimatley satisfy the mass audience. So the kiss rule NEEDS to be placed over the trilogy BUT the Kiss rule ALSO NEEDS to be in each film otherwise the audience will be like "WTF where is the ending kiss?"..they will leave dissapointed if its NOT THERE..This is where the writers run into contradictory problems.
I think they decided from the offset of making a PotC trilogy that they WANTED Liz to end up with Jack at the end of the trilogy. To make this happen this means that the "teaser possible relationship" has to be with Jack in the middle of the Trilogy..but it contradicts itself becuase they CANT use the typical kiss rule at the end of movie 2 where we know Liz has ended up with who she kisses They have to bend their rules a little bit when it comes to the middle film. If they used the usual pattern then it would screw up the ending of the trilogy. So they probably thought:
“Ok lets take the kiss out and just have the chemistry/almost curiosity kiss between them as the "possible relationship teaser" for the middle of the trilogy….BUT if we do that the audience will be really dissapointed that we teased them with the curiosity kiss/all the chemistry and then didnt give them a final kiss at the end”
So the answer to the problem is MAKE the final kiss in movie 2..a "fake kiss”. But top it off with a little teaser kiss just before she leaves and THAT is what we see her DO!. She gives him a big full on kiss which fits fine with the kiss rule when its placed over 1 movie on its own. The “almost kiss” before she leaves mixed with the other chemistry they shared through out movie 2 fits perfectly as “the teaser possible relationship” that they place in the middle of the trilogy as a whole. It also works well with the next movie because they NEED to use the "who will she kiss/choose" pattern again in movie 3 to keep everyone glued to the screen..So they needed to make it look as if she's having problems choosing who she wants to hook up with by the end of movie 2.. WILL SAW THE KISS so we will be wondering in movie 3 who she's going to CHOOSE at the end of it…which is Jack..when you look at the rule they have placed over the trilogy as a whole..
If the Trilogy ended up with will/Liz then they would have ultimatley pissed of the audience because they gave you a possible steaming and hot relationship with jack/liz then didnt give you the REAL DEAL at the end... It's just like the fact they HAD to put a kiss at the end of movie 2 so they wouldnt piss off the overall audience by teasing you with a possible kiss in the middle and then not following through with the real deal.
