I cant get on wordplayer after being banned..and I'm dying to ask this question..I cant so I posted it here lol
I think this is the most important question raised in DMC and not actually answered..Ted and Terry wont say why Jack is thinking of lizzie at a time like that. I think I know why..just wish I could ask Terry and see what he says..I think the whole series revolves around that question and the "kick-ass ending" of AWE is going to be linked in with this question..its going to be the answer to it. Thats why they wont say why.
I think MistyPirate touches on this too.....and I think, Lovely, you know the answer you just want to see what we all have to say and if once again we are all on the same wavelength.....Jack is thinking about Liz...because he realizes she is the woman for him, his time is running out and he's never been settled with just one woman, and and...he's thinking he hasn't a legacy to carry on his name and me thinks he sees Liz as that woman that can give him his legacy...his son to carry on his name...to pass his peices of eight to....it appears that Jack has many conflicting thoughts in DMC...he wants Liz, but he doesn't want to want Liz...according to the script...the compass pointed one way and Jack tells his crew to set sail in the opposite direction...he avoids TIa's knowing Look inside her cabin because she is right on the money about him knowing what he wants but is loathe to claim it as his own...plus...at the beginning he believes that Liz and Will are probably married by now and his chance at Elizabeth has passed him by.....then he finds out they are not married...and all of his repressed feelings surface through his outlandish flirting with her...from the moment he sees her "it should be a dress or nothing, I happen to have no dress in my cabin"....to asking her to "persuade me" to give back the letters of mark that he has placed on his body...and the Marriage "proposal"....and at last the kiss...Jack is much more serious in that scene...he is no longer flirting he is downright sexy in that scene staring at her lips...it's more than just sex in this scene...and according to the script jack knows that he and elizabeth's heart are the same..I loved the way they describe the compass in the script when Jack is in the longboat....there is no doubt that the compass was pointing to Elizabeth...
I hope the child is Jack's and not Will's...that would be to Pearl Harbor just as we have said before.....
