YoHo!YoHo!
a bit off-topicness from me again (though I have to agree first with what chiki, shanstar and lovethemtigers said...100% agree)
about the whole jack/will friendship(sounds really tacky when you put slashes between their names but still you know what I mean) on wordplayer.com someone had posted something about will and jack betraying each other and how a love triangle just complicates things and messes the movie up.
terry replied said and I quote:"1. There is no triangle, unless you are referring to the thing Elizabeth wanted most at one point being the chest, and at another point being Jack.
2. At no time did Jack was wibbling about Elizabeth, or vice-versa.
3. If you think Jack using Will as leverage to serve his own interests, or Will taking action against Jack to save a loved one, is a perversion of their relationship in the first movie, then that's what you think.
4. Jack was never enamored of his ship; he was and is enamored of what his ship represents: freedom. And, of course, as it turned out the very thing he wanted so much he was willing to make a deal with the devil to get, has come to represent either a hundred years of servitude (and eventual loss of identity) or death.
Why, it's almost as if Jack claimed the thing he wanted most in the world at the eventual cost of his own freedom. Hm ... I wonder if that idea might be relevant to some other part of the movie? Reflected, refracted and explored throughout the movie, even? Demonstrated in action and dialogue, or even overtly referenced at points?
5. Your suggestion that the story requires a Will/Jack pairing to resolve the triangle presumes there is a triangle to be resolved. "
I know someone already posted a link to this one but numbers 3 and 4 really got my attention cause terry gives us the idea that will and jack were just doing what they had to and not ruining their relationship.
I couldn't makeout what the whole "Why, it's almost as if Jack claimed the thing he wanted most in the world at the eventual cost of his own freedom. Hm ... I wonder if that idea might be relevant to some other part of the movie? Reflected, refracted and explored throughout the movie, even? Demonstrated in action and dialogue, or even overtly referenced at points? " meant. which actions do u think he meant?
BTW WHAT DID "there's no love triangle to be resoleved." MEAN? he said " There is no triangle, unless you are referring to the thing Elizabeth wanted most at one point being the chest, and at another point being Jack." was that what it was? just liz wanting jack at some point? or does it mean the love triangle is actually between lizzie/jack/chest?LOL
anyways sorry for rambling on but I'm really confused what did he mean by this?
