Pirates of the Carribean

Have you seen the third installment of Pirates?I love it! Actually i don't have that much knowledge on critiquing a film, but i appreciate it so much coming from an ordinary person's point of view. For me, this film helped the careers of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley as well.




Johnny Depp has been acting since i don't know when..but all i know is that he's such a great actor playing weird roles from movies like Edward Scissorhands, Finding Neverland, Sleepy Hollow, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With numerous movies that he made (including those that i was not able to mention), did not have that much impact on the public the way Capt. Jack Sparrow did. With Pirates, he was really something, you could never ever forget Capt. Jack Sparrow. I could not imagine any other actor playing that role. The way he walks and talks in this film (kind of like a drunkard) really helped him create the happy go-lucky character of Jack Sparrow.



Okay, there's Keira Knightley playing Elizabeth Swann. She's practically the only lady at the film. She transformed from a damsel-in-distress (in Pirates 1) to a fearless captain (in Pirates 3). But who was Keira Knightley before the Pirates trilogy? On Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Keira plays a handmaiden that disguises herself as Queen Amidala, who is portrayed by Natalie Portman. At 16, she had a football movie called Bend it like Beckham, she did the first Pirates movie at 17! Wow..Imagine at 17, you have the chance to work with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom! Anyway, i find her really pretty (but she has crooked teeth) and suitable to play the role of Elizabeth Swann. The Pirates trilogy also helped Keira become a famous actress.



Last but not the least is Orlando Bloom who played Will Turner, Elizabeth's love interest. We first noticed his hotness during the Lord of the Rings trilogy while playing the elf Legolas. Who could forget his long blonde hair at that movie right? Anyway he had a lot of films after that like Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven, Ned Kelly and Black Hawk Down, but he's still famous for being Legolas and now, Will Turner. I love Orlando Bloom, i hope he will continue in making films, but is he really gay? Anyway for me, he's a good actor and that's all that matters...
