the scene where Jack rescues Liz in 1, and the kiss scene in 2 are so incredibly similar. its scary.
seriously, the emotions, vibes, its all there. She calls him dispicable, he calls her pirate. both are meant as compliments. Liz looks disappointed when he throws her into norri's arms and escapes, he looks disappointed when she pulls away from the kiss.
both involve physical closeness, seeing each other in a vulnerable state, and finding out new things about each other.
and they are both freaking hott.
I totally agree with everything that has been said... the first film is FILLED with hints that Jack is after something special...
i mean, there is amazing chemistry between jack and liz in 1, to the point where i actually think Jack and Liz both take it seriously that Jack says "it would have never worked between us, i'm sorry darling..." that isnt a joke, ya know? and liz gives him that look like, "jack, shut up! i'm having a moment with will..." and all he says to will is "nice hat", aka, "you put up a good show to win the girl mate, but we all know it was just a show"...
i think the peas in a pod scene is the most telling. It could have been played as more friendly or something, but they played that scene TOTALLY as a romantic interest scene.
After seeing the deleted scenes and 2, i watch the last scene of 1 with a totally different mindset.
i really think liz's line about where her heart truly lies doesn't mean with will... it means she is rejected the rigid lifestyle of nobility, and choosing to defend piracy and the man who taught her everything she knows about piracy- jack.
Liz doesn't turn back to WIll until Jack is safely away from the weapons.
