Today
The day could’ve begun on a better note. I had been invited by my younger sister to go watch Pirates of the Caribbean”. That’s about all that had been decided and I automatically assumed that she would arrange with the tickets, seeing as she lives closer to the cinema and so on. I couldn’t reach her yesterday so I was unsure if it was still on and this made me stress out (which in turn builds up to a panic/anxiety-attack, making me feel even worse). I tried to reach her on her mobile and at her apartment, she failed to answer and I gave up and went to bed.
So when she finally called late this morning it turned out that she hadn’t even sorted out the tickets. I was annoyed/stressed out to the point where I refused to speak to her, which in turn made her feel bad and thereby made it impossible for me to follow through with my feelings of abandonment, rejection and general loneliness (not no mention all the other emotions/thoughts/memories going on).
After some deliberating it was decided that things could’ve been handled better and I would go see the movie with her. Need I say that these are not good conditions to do anything that’s supposed to be uplifting and fun? No.
Johnny Depp is such a brilliant actor and he simply stole every scene that he was in. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him or his character. His costume and make up/hair by far outshone Kiera’s. The opening scene with him is so perfectly shot. An immediate favourite.
I am slightly concerned about Orlando Bloom’s. There were a couple of moments where I felt that he couldn’t nail his scenes and didn’t give it his best, but he also had the impossible task of sharing the camera with Mr Depp. *grin* Hopefully in time he’ll develop more than one facial expression and learn to hit lines better.
I’m not saying he isn’t a good actor, I just think I need more to go on than his masterly performed Legolas before I can rave excessively over him.
Kiera Knightley’s performance was… uneven. In some scenes she lit up and was really good, then all of a sudden she’d be completely flat. I can’t recall if these were scenes she shared with Mr Depp or not. ^ - ^
Geoffrey Rush handed in an ok character interpretation (the memory of his outstanding acting in “Shine” is hard to surpass). It was difficult to concentrate on him when the monkey sat on his shoulder. The accent was good though.
The “moonlight scenes” (where the crew of the Black Pearl all are shown their true form *sinister laugh to go along with the mood*) were ok, the best one was the duel between Mr Depp and Geoffrey Rush. Johnny is pretty in any shape and form *lol*.
It needs to be said that I’m no film critic, but overall it was an ok movie. The ships and locations were pretty and there were some funny supporting actors that gave the movie a lift.
My state of mind might have hindered me to fully enjoy it though.
“Say goodbye to fear and sorrow
We're leaving the chaos behind
Determined heading for a new tomorrow
To leave this place we do not mind”
A poem et originale.
