Zimmerman anticipates with his winking "overproduced by" credit on the cover-liner. I can just hear the effete aesthetes dismissing this score, as Mr. And then there's the scene of the pirate-ghouls slithering up from the darkened sea on the mooring cables of the Dauntless, like infernal cats stalking their prey.Īnd now to the music. I find myself laughing with dizzy appreciation when Barbossa barks out, "You'd best be believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner, you're in one!" and the grinning skeletons come into view, with Badelt's pounding score keeping time to the beat of their maniacal deck-swabbing.
#PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL 1080P MOVIE#
I often don't even watch the Academy Awards, and I certainly never have any emotional investment in who wins.Īnd, in a time when many big-budget movies are little more than a hodge-podge of loosely- connected "money shots" this movie puts all the pieces together, with a sense of fun and light-heartedness in special effects that are simply dazzling. How can I admit to my children that I now troll through fan websites about a former teen heart-throb? His inventiveness and sheer pleasure in inhabiting the character come through in every frame. So sly, so seductive, so canny! I read an interview in which Depp said he went through a slight depression when he had to stop playing Captain Jack Sparrow. But now I understand how women can experience swooning crushes on male film stars. I have several good friends who are gay, but have never fantasized about any gender but the female. Wasn't Depp the name of some hair-goo product back in the 60s? I never had any idea who he was, but his name sounded like something created for a pubescent cover-boy for magazines published to hook thirteen year-old girls on make-up and bad music. My children ask, with a note of concern in their voices, "Dad, you really like Pirates of the Caribbean a lot, don't you?"Īnd that Depp fellow. It's like walking into a painting that you never want to come back out of. The only thing keeping me from seeing it again is the sense that this whole thing is just getting out of hand. I cannot remember ever willingly paying to see any movie not starring a relative of mine more than twice, and I can count those movies on one hand. What? Who? How? Was this a movie? Or a religious experience? Perhaps more like an addictive experience. I mean really, how much can you expect?Īnd then, it happened. Named after that tired old ride in Anaheim I first went on in 1965. And, really, one can't take such movies too seriously, can one?Īnd so, this summer, after the ritual badgering, I dutifully trudged into yet another Disney "adventure" movie.

But still, these are after all just children's movies.

The opening music to The Lion King brought tears to my eyes when my little ones were but wee tots. And I am not completely hardened in my sophistication. Children with whom I have now sat through hundreds of movies. Reviewed by eak-1 10 /10 Depp for Emperor?
