@screenwriterhusband: Today’s lesson is on script economy and trusting your audience which this film did really well. Do you agree that some modern films struggle with this?#piratesofthecaribbean #disneyplus #screenwriting #cinema #johnnydepp @Disney Studios @Disney+
This movie is so long, but it feels like it’s 45 minutes because of how damn tight the script is

Gibbs repeatedly doing exposition dumps without the audience noticing is absolute GENIUS.

The pirates trilogy ( yes we ignore 4 and 5) is up there with planet of the apes for the best trilogy ever made

I hate that recent films have lost the “show don’t tell” approach to movies. I don’t need you to spell it out for me. I can figure out the plot as we go along

This is a perfect movie. I’m not saying it’s the best movie ever made, but it is perfect from start to finish

personal take: we are on our phones BECAUSE modern scripts are like this not the other way around. I still sit through old movies with zero phone involved but modern movies are often so freaking boring

My biggest ick for films is useless dialogue. If they say something that doesn’t tie into anything in that will happen next, I get so annoyed. Like why are you wasting my time

The Pirates trilogy was made with so much love 😭 watching the behind the scenes and “how it was made” stuff was so cool, especially learning everything about the cave scene and the ships and costumes for the first one

Totally agree and can we also talk about the cgi? Because it peaked in those movies, perfect special/practical effects ratio and it looks so good. Movies nowadays could never

I actually think we’re on our phones because a lot of shows/movies are boring and dumbed down. If something is engaging and smart I don’t want to be on my phone because I would miss things.

I rewatch these films every year and somehow catch something new every time. Each viewing reveals a detail, a line, or a moment I missed before. These films are a work of art.

Just wait until you see the beauty of the CGI in 2 & 3 🥹 Most modern movies don’t even compare

I also like how we had the best cgi at the time too. You’d think it would’ve gotten better but so many recent movies I’ve questioned if they’ve been using AI because of how bad it looks.

1. I went through a phase in 9th grade where I watched this movie everyday for the whole year. 2. Im so glad there is a word for this "repeat the plot" annoyance. I immediately hate a movie for that. Like yeah, we get it, MOVE ON.

yes! I totally missed it when I was younger, but the part where jack is asking the soldiers about which ship was faster so he could plot which one to steal was GENIUS. I love this movie sm❤️
