tell me all your thoughts on the LEAKED SCRIPT...
Allrighty, I just read it.
Lots of thoughts. I cant believe i went so long in ignorance. OMGSH.
First of all, i LOVE it. Its AMAZING. Obviously a bit rough around the edges, but it rings of T and Ts writing and will transfer to screen magnificently.
It brings me absolutely NO CLOSER to any Jack/liz, liz/will absolution... but it DID tilt me slightly back towards the Jack/Liz end of the spectrum... (not that i was rooting for Will, but it gave me a glimmer of hope.)
The missing page, IMO, contained the following exchange... Jack explained to Will that he owes Tia a debt, which centers around the fact that Tia is in love with him. Tia made him promise to stab the heart of Jones and become immortal and sail his own ship rescuing souls from the sea, in exchange for something years ago. Jack knows that Tia will likely fall out of love with him eventually (as she did with Jones) and then he will be free to sail the world forever (the ultimate freedom) Will countered with a question on Jack's feelings for Elizabeth. Considering all of Jack's reactions to and speech about Elizabeth so far in the script has been extremely positive and in line with our theories (though in a round-a-bout way) Jack confesses to Will that yes, he has indeed fallen hard for Elizabeth, but he thinks Elizabeth is still in love with Will, and will end happily ever after with Will. Will counters that he thinks Elizabeth is in love with Jack. Both men are convinced they are right. Jack makes a comment about how he has to make the choice to be forever sundered from Elizabeth. Will likes this idea.
I am very glad this exchange is taking place during a sword fight--- like the first time Will and Jack met. 😄
I think this script works positively for us, because it confirms (to some degree) that Jack really does care for Elizabeth and still wants her. This is vitally important. Cause they are NOT (if they are in their right minds) make Jack the victim of unrequited love. I am almost 60% sure of this... 😄
Will is being a total idiot, too. Why would Liz still like him?? And i totally LOVE that one convo between Will and Liz where Liz suggests she might not live up to his standards. This is true... because she doesnt WANT to anymore...
Jack is being amazing, as usual. we can guess how much he is going to take this performance and blow it out of the water. i cant even wait.
the tension between Liz and Jack is AMAZING. I cant wait.
more coming... in a minute...
