*Went to the review center this noon only to know there will be no review. Lecture was done on the morning which I failed to attend courtesy of my sleeping at early dawn. Perfect timing…Keryll and I went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End at SM.
*Not too many watched…as compared to Spidey.
*OMG! I just loved the cinematography. Thanks to Mr. Bruckheimer’s money.
*As the movie progressed, all my questions accumulated from the previous movies were being answered. It was like witnessing a revelation. Damn! If only this was based on a novel, I could have read it a long time ago. The twists of the tale were amazing.
*So Captain Barbossa was alive. That black woman Tia Lama brought him back from the dead…something which she couldn’t do for Jack Sparrow because according to her, the captain of the Black Pearl was no dead at all.
*And I was kinda right. That negra sorceress was a supernatural being. She turned out to be Calypso, a goddess, whom for all I know, seduced Odysseus in her island for many years in the Odyssey. And ohlala, she was the lover of Davy Jones? Now I know why the captain smells fishy.
*I just liked the Asian pirates. The costumes were great. The plot with Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) was a cliffhanger but it brought beauty to the movie. He wasn’t that important as I expected.
*The Brethren Court amazed me, and the Shipwreck Cove, and the Pieces of Eight, and the Keeper of the Code. So there were the nine pirate lords who ruled the great seas of the earth. I found them mysterious. They gathered to fight their greatest enemies through a song sung. WHAT? And oh, their pieces of eight were nonsense things…not those coins collected by the evil Beckett. Haha. So the detached eyeball of one of the pirates was of great importance.
*I laughed hard with the Indian pirate lord. From the beginning, I was noticing that he was silent and that he brought himself a spokesman. HIS VOICE WAS SO FELINE!
*Jack Sparrow was, as usual, clumsy and a survivor. Ei, he was lunatic? I think he got a multiple personality disorder.
*Haha. Elizabeth Schwann became a pirate lord…and Pirate King. Girl power! Not bad at all.
*Legolas…or Will Turner rather…was pretty. So he was destined to captain the Flying Dutchman. A good thing for the ending.
*The fight within a maelstrom was marvelous. The death of Beckett was artistic.
*Discussion with Keryll after the movie. She was confused why Orlando Bloom had to make a choice between his father and Keira Knightley.
*Watched some trailers. OMG! National Treasure 2?
*Woot! Pirates rock! After the board exams, I will get myself a galleon and sail to the seven seas. Nyahaha.
