Jack - Why fight, when you can negotiate

Started by lovethemtigers2 pages

you know...we all say that Liz has dreamed of a Pirate all her life....some say it's Will...some says it's Jack....ya know....but you are right Willo...neither one of them is a Pirate in the true sense of the word....but T and T did say at the end of POTC that Will had become the Movie/Fantasy Pirate...a pirate who is willing to break the law to help those in troube, but is a good man, is romantic....

but that also describes Jack...especially by the end of DMC....

Yeah T&T do describe him as "a pirate movie pirate" but they also say (in the part in the cave where Jack and Barbie are fighting) something along the lines of: "He takes advantage of the situation...blah blah blah...(the important part) and proves that he is the ultimate best pirate." or something like that, don't remember right now.

So I guess they're both sorta pirates but in different ways. Will "breaks the rules because they are wrong." and Jack "One word love...curiosity."

Yeah, I think they say in DMC that Liz is the most pirate of all of them. Will has a lot more in common with the Errol Flynn pirate movies of the 20s and 30s where the character is a legitimate guy who has to resort to being a pirate for a little while, but to do something good. Jack seems to turn that perception on its head, but reverts back to it at times, which he doesn't really like to do. I would argue that because of this Will has more self-esteem than Jack. I don't think Jack is as sure of himself as he tries to show.

^^^that makes me sad...and now especially since he's thinking Liz only may have kissed him to chain him to the mast...but maybe not..since the script says that Jack looked into her eyes and knew that her heart was the same as his.....and we know Jack's heart belongs to Lizzie...

Well, if you're sad about the whole self-esteem thing, look how confident Jack is facing the kracken. I'm sure knowing Liz, really knowing her, right before that gave him a big self-esteem boost. He hasn't completed that journey yet, and love gives you strength.
