And then was a pompous know-it-all to the guy when he walked in on her messing with his stuff. There was a telescope, which she looked in and then, with no regard to the guy who owned it, made adjustments to it. Like the time she was on the run, and hid in a shop. I think the only point of this was to make everyone look stupid and uncivilized compared to her. Despite the fact that things like astronomy are practiced and probably common knowledge, just because a girl says it, everyone just yells “witch!”. However, what strained my suspension of disbelief the most was Carina always being called a witch. There’s a few things like that in this movie, but not enough for me to be totally pulled out of the story. It’s one of the things you kinda have to look the other way on. How exactly she managed (as an orphan) to learn all these things is never told. And so she spends her life studying Astronomy and Horology – there are a lot of jokes made about that second one – to try and decode the journal, in the hopes it will lead her back to her father. #HOROLOGY PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE#The journal was really a secret map to discovering the Trident of Poseidon (which is what the movie is all about). Carina was an orphan, and the only connection she had to her father, was by a journal he left to her. She almost falls into the Strong Female Character(TM) type, in that she never seems to stop scowling, doesn’t want any help, is very indignant and bitter, and also seemingly better than everything and everyone, which are all the traits I see in the annoying, Mary Sue characters.īut the difference is that there are explanations as to why her character is like this, and she has weaknesses as well as strengths. But the moment he meets his father again, uncursed, is very touching.Ĭarina isn’t a bad character, but I didn’t find her very likable. He didn’t really get much character development from what I saw. He knows everything about the myths and legends of the sea, for that is the only key he has to freeing his father from his curse. We see him again 9 years later when he is a lowly shiphand on a British imperial boat. Henry is the boy who was hunting down his father, Will Turner, at the beginning of the movie. The three main ones were, Carina Smyth, Henry Turner, and of course the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow. But… it’s not like anyone is actually going to FIND that… oh wait.Īnyway, I’ll talk about the characters first. But his dad is cursed, and there’s nothing he can do about it, aside from finding an ancient and mythical item that can control the sea. The movie starts out with a boy, just trying to get his dad back. But be warned, there will be spoilers from now on! It had high sea adventures, it had characters, it had action, it had romance, it had witty dialogue, and it had utterly ridiculous things that were just so overblown they were hilarious! As a casual movie watcher, I really enjoyed it. And I think it worked quite well as one! I enjoyed it, and I didn’t need the other movies to understand what was going on. So, since I cannot compare it to the previous ones, I’m going to look at it as a stand alone. I’ve seen pieces of one, which had a crazy chase scene, a beach, and a jar of dirt. Let me start out by saying that I have never seen any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
