script is suggestive....or fake. That's why I posted it.

im confuzzled////clue me in plz!

I am more confuse than you

Okay, I saw the script for COTBP and it says that Jack shoots Barbossa while he [probably Jack] is looking at Elizabeth. I found this not only hard to understand, but not likely, so I asked for people's opinions on it.

We weren't talking about that, me personal. I was talking about something else.

GTG NIGHT!!!

Night!

Sorry.

Yea you meanie Lol I'm kidding 🙂

...I'm a bit confused as to why Jack would kill Barbossa to protect Liz? I mean, his whole goal in the movie was to 1) get his ship back and 2) kill Barbossa...soooooo....could someone explain that to me? I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to get a J/E perspective on the view.

becasue Barbossa was gopnna shoot her...

....But Jack had been planning to kill Barbossa. It was just plot-devicy timing that Jack shot Barbossa at the same time the man was planning on shooting Liz.

Technically, the way the blocking was done, Barbossa probably could have gotten his shot off. 😂 Imagine that...then there would have been no shipping discussions!

Oh no! I'm glad that didn't happen.

Jack's main goal was of course to kill Barbossa, and it was timing that made him do it when he did, but I do think part of him meant to save Liz by firing the shot right away. If she hadn't been in the crossfire, maybe Jack wouldn't have done it right that second.

yeah...he cluld hbave waited....it was just the oppurtune moment cuz Liz was about to die and we all know he didnt want that to happen 😉

He would have, because his timing had more to do with Will getting the coin to the chest rather than with Barbossa aiming at Liz. 😉

Ok the way this scene is written, it says"

Jack shoots Barbossa while he's looking at Elizabeth.

The antecedent to 'he's' is Barbossa.

It should read Jack shoots Barbossa while Barbossa is looking at Elizabeth. That's the way it is filmed too.

ooohh yeh. pull some of that grammar out... lol

yup, i'd have to agree with that OR

"Jack : [cuts his hand and bleeds on medallion, tosses it to Will ; Barbossa aims pistol at Elizabeth ; Jack shoots Barbossa while he’s looking at Elizabeth ]"

Jack is also looking at liz, but shoots barbossa aswell.

but yea, id have to agree with the Barbossa is aiming his gun at liz and looking at her, and jack shoots him, and barbossa turns his head quickly to face jack, because thats all we see.

LMFAO....omg lmao

Jack does help her out in that movie quite a bit..Like when she was about to get hit, he stopped the guy.

I do think he comes out of movie 1 with a soft spot for Liz..She's on his mind as the movie closes it seems. Because he's singing the song she taught him that night on the beach..and its also the night she screwed him over and I think that is why he's so infatuated with her..not because of status because he knows she's a pirate at heart after what she did to him...and she's also the first woman to beat him at his own game I bet you.

then movie 2 starts and right away we learn Jack's been thinking about Elizabeth quite a bit since he left her "why is the rum always gone"(another call back to the island) not sure if this was their intent but it seems like the writers are aware of the fact Jack left movie 1 with Liz on his mind because he looks at the compass and smirks and they seem to have written the start of movie 2 directly from that ending.🙂

The unclearness of the line is what makes me wonder if this is just some fan who watched the movie and wrote down every single line and direction/blocking on it. I doubt it's the original. The official script would/should have said, "BARBOSSA looks at ELIZABETH and prepares to shoot her, but JACK shoots BARBOSSA first."

That is 100% clear.
