I know Kate! I LOVE that picture is one of favorites so far.

Liz is standing closer to Jack than Barbossa...

Liz and Jack are on the same plane as far as height, facial expression, and stride. 🙂 sigh...

Very interesting, especially considering Barbossa has yellow on also.

This isn't very intelligent at all, but Jack is just smokin' in this picture. I'm sorry.

Todiangirl, that was a really interesting and good find. Thank you for bringing it up.

that is very interesting i liked it yellow is now my favorite color!

Oh I Love yellow now. 😄

KATE UR SIGGY IS TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOve IT!!!

HATS!!!
I apologize if this has been discussed before, but It occurred to me that I should look up the meaning of wearing a Hat. And this is what I found.

A display of confidence in a particular outcome. 'She's always late. If she gets that train I'll eat my hat'.

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/eat-my-hat.html

Jack lost his confidence when his hat got lost at sea, and when Liz showed up wearing a similar hat to his, all of a sudden he regained his confidence back.

This is some info that I found regarding Hats, it talks about dreaming with hats but it can be related with DMC. this was written by Freud. Its really interesting trust me. 😉

Psychological Meaning: Freud believed that hats (and gloves) represent the female genitalia because they enclose a part of the body. A hat may also represent the role you play in life. Changing hats may denote a change of attitude or direction. You may be thinking about taking on new work responsibilities or even changing your job. The type of hat is also significant: A top hat may indicate your desire for wealth; a baseball hat may represent your desire to be more athletic or younger; and a straw hat may show that you desire to adopt a more natural, care-free attitude.

Mystical Meaning: Predecessors of Freud believed that if a woman dreamed of wearing a man’s hat, she secretly desired to have sex with the owner. If you dream of loosing your hat you will soon be married.

thanks very much!!! 🙂

Misty, that info was incredibly interesting... especially thinking about Jack hiding on the Pearl, running scared, sneaking away from Norrington behind the plant at Tortuga, etc, and then two seconds later, as soon as he runs into Liz, he is making fun of Norrington, being Captain of his ship, etc.

It's on Isle Cruses when Elizabeth's hat falls off that things start to really fall apart with the three men swordfighting as well.

and in the final kiss scene, her hat is gone, there's a moment of incredible intimacy and vulnerablity and another changing of the hands of power-- and then Jack get's his hat back. Lizzie is hatless and emotionally distraught.

LovelyOne brought all this up ages ago and had brilliant theories for it. It's good to remember that one! 🙂

Note that Elizabeth changed her hat, from the high society hat to the pirate hat, meaning that her attitude and direction in life its going to change, according to Freud. And it has already started to change.

well i'm out for the night. got to study for the final. i cant get anything done. lol. night guys!

Oh yes Kate I remember when Lovely brought it up.
When he finds Liz in Tortuga he miraculously turns in to another man.
Another interesting was what Freud said about dreaming of loosing a hat. 😄 Soon to be married! humm could that be a coincidence? Maybe or maybe not???

Night Kate. Good luck with your finals.

i always thought that yellow ment happiness, oever i don't think that there's any color symbology in this...for some reason i just thought that maybe it looked nice or somethings...or maybe brought out the piratey tone in liz's face...yeah..moreso on my latter theory...

And also not to forget that little scene where Jack, while in Tortuga, Keeps taking Hats off of other men and keeps changing the hat cause none of them feel right....then Lizzie shows up with a Hat that looks exactly like Jack's!!!! So yes ur right about the confidence thing!! and it could be that Jack is at a place in his life that he's debating what to do with his life!

and what Kate pointed out about when they had the Kiss was a great catch.... none of them were wearing hats...it was just them!! no hiding behind hats...like that saying goes!

Wow i love this!!! excellent find ladies!!

Yes this is all awesome, coincidence???? 🙄

^^ I dont know....i just think it's just really weird how in the Kiss Scene....they were both Stripped (from hats).....and then Jack looses his hat, and then Jack searches for a hat in Tortuga, and Lizzie shows up with one that looks like Jacks, and then JAck gets his Hat back in the end, and then Jack picks up Barbossa's hat in Tia's Shack....it's almost as if they are telling a story through the HATS u know? They definately made it a point to show a lot of HAT scenes in DMC!!!

Hats of the Caribbean...
