The Symbols Thread: Let's Trace our POTC Symbols

This is a little bit off topic, but it has to do with symbols in movies. I just bought the DaVinci code in DVD. and in the 2 cd there's a special feature called The Codes of the DaVinci Code . Ron Howard talks about the symbols he used in the movie, he said that each symbol represents a characters past, present and future, who each characters really is, and the obstacles that the characters will overcome through the movie. It's really interesting if you have the DVD watch it. Oh and by the way Hans Zimmer did the music.

YAY MINA LOVES ME AND DOESNT HATE ME!!!!

Hans Zimmer is a genious! And by the way misty escellent point. I mean Ron Howard did not make pirates nor had anything to do with it, but makes you think about the symbols in the movie. I think there are so many clues and peices that we must put together.

Hans Zimmer did Pirates Of The Caribbean, if he was the composer for these two things maybe there are hints in the music as well.

Okay, let me try saying it in a different way. Hans did the POTC music and the DaVinci Code music. If there are so many clues, why can't music be clues too. And Hans is a genius, I know!

I love that man for his talent.

I know hans zimmer is just W-O-W Just awesome.

And you're right!! Maybe music can be clues to who knows!! We just need to be carefull not to over annalyze and under annalyze.

Music plays an important part in a movie, it describes situations and characters emotions. So yes, there are a lot of symbols and clues behind movie music themes.

oh yeah music is often t athing that hints how people are feeling in movies..also its to make you feel scared etc..

but I think one of the most telling moments that shwed how Liz felt was just as she went in to kiss him again..it gave of a kind of desperate, sad, tragic note..as if Liz was hating giving him up like that.

I can't wait to have the DVD to hear the music notes from that scene, the sounds are really hard to hear on the youtube clips.

OH MY...i'm not sure if this is me just hearing things but the second Gibbs says "abandon ship or abandon hope" I'm certain I hear that heartbeat sound over the music again..but its slower than the one that happened when Will came down the stairs to the jail cell..

I don't remember reading that, 😕 let me check the leaked script again.

It was killed by harpoons!! Then Barbossa said that it couldnt be controlled so it was killed. But by whom? Could it be by Daveys men?

that shows you how much Jack feels time is running out 🙁 Its a shame..he's feeling desperate to continue his legacy IMO
