9/10
A preview of Elizabeth Swann...
19 January 2011
The Young Woman is first in love with an humble Fisherman. Then she gets kidnapped by pirates, lead by an apparently extremely evil Captain with a giant mustache. But the story takes a twist. The pirates mutiny, and the Captain shoots several of them. Finally, locked together in a small cabin with only one bullet left, and the lustful, filthy, savage pirates beating down the door, the Captain offers the Young Woman a choice: instant death now, or a Fate Worse Than Death? She covers her eyes with her hands and nods her choice. Luckily, the cops get there Just In The Nick Of Time. Now the story takes an even stranger twist. The Captain puts the gun in his own mouth, but the Young Woman stops him and distracts the cops while he escapes. In the last shot, the Young Woman is gazing longingly through binoculars at The Captain swimming to the distant shore, until the Fisherman reminds her who just rescued her. Although we fade out on her snuggling up to her Fisherman, we know that she's now stuck with a dilemma: does she love Will Turner, or Jack Sparrow? A wonderful story with Moral Ambiguity and Complex Characters!
