Okay. I absolutely get why this movie became a huge cultural moment. The swashbuckling adventure, the unlimited quotable moments, the magic and mystery. It's exactly the kind of story that makes you want to throw on a pirate hat and run blindly into the next big adventure! Captain Jack Sparrow was pure chaos wrapping in charm and swagger. And surprisingly underneath all of that, was a moral compass lead by his heart. Elizabeth and Will's arcs gave me that classical romance feel (with a super satisfying ending), and the cursed crew of the Black Pearl made the fantasy feel dangerously fun!By the time the credits hit me, I felt like I'd just stepped off the Black Pearl myself. Windblown and grinning with the salty sea still in the air. I can't to dive into the next one with you all next week! This feels like the perfect way to wrap up summer!Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/fRa6ex6M1icI watched this on Disney Plus.

ohh pirates nice

It's crazy they were able to make a movie this good out of a theme park IP, but there you go. Lots of cool characters for you to get invested in! Johnny Depp partly based his character on Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, who ended up having a part in a later sequel! My favorite was actual Barbossa, played by Geoffrey Rush who won an Oscar playing Mozart. Guy’s an incredible actor. Anyway, I thought this movie was a really cool interpretation of the whole “pirate’s curse” theme. Loved the way they set up the reveal of the undead pirates in the moonlight. You’ve been throwing up so much content everywhere lately it should lead to an inflection point of subscribers pouring in eventually. Here’s hoping. Also a teensy apology: I spend so much time appreciating your reactions I forget to praise you for your artistic/creative side – you have a real talent for it. Your SW rankings presentation was very artistic. Now, let the truth be told, you look beautiful in that pirate attire Kali. Thanks for adding that as a fun pirate vibes bonus to what I know will be an awesome watch-along.

Kali, just when I'm finally starting to catch up with your BSG reactions, you post yet another fascinating reaction! How in the world can I keep up? 😁

The music in the Pirates movies are my favorite Hans Zimmer movie scores, and that is saying something. So excited that you commented on it, =)

Yes! 😎 Here We Go. The Journey of The Pirates 🏴‍☠️ of the Caribbean movies 🍿

"You best start believing in Ghost Stories... You're in one!" - this movie has no right to be as good and entertaining as it is. It had been decades since a decent swashbuckling movie had been made that didn't flop with audiences.

the best thing of all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is for me Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. I don’t know if you or anyone else is aware but he regularly gets dressed up fully in costume and goes to visit children in hospitals to help brighten their day https://youtube.com/shorts/xqjvRp40wpY?si=gJ9PnNLd1bLVap0X

These really are the perfect Summer weekend movies! It's a grand, epic adventure filled with danger, but also is so lighthearted, and doesn't take itself too seriously. And I think the music is what plays such a big part of that! Such an amazing score by Hans Zimmer I also can't help but think of Loki when I see Jack haha. Carries himself with so much charm and confidence. Has a good heart, but you always know the only side he's truly on is his own :) Now that the stage has been set, and we've gotten to know all these characters, I'm so excited to see where the story goes next!

This music was a Hans Zimmer instant classic. I had the privilege of seeing Zimmer perform his film score collection live in Raleigh and it was something I won’t soon forget. The Pirates of the Caribbean music was one of the best performances of the entire night and it wasn’t a low bar. I’ve always loved his music even long before I recognized his name, listening to much of it on my own time as background music. Now when I see his name attributed to a new film, I know it’s a movie I’ll want to see. He’s currently on tour in the US and I highly recommend it for a date night. But I would try to fill in any other major gaps in your Hans movie experience before seeing him live if you can!

Such a great movie. Sadly Zoe Saldana had such a bad time during the shooting of this movie that she chose not to continue doing these movies. She was not the big name at the time she became after GotG and Avatar. Keep your memory banks active, the movies will tie together at times and rely on your recollection of previous events. It's hard for me not to see Johnny Depp as anyone but Capt. Jack Sparrow to this day.

Onno Smits

It must've been at least a decade since I last saw this movie, yet I could still talk along with whole swaths of the dialog. Yeah, this movie is inescapably quotable. And the effects hold up incredibly well for a movie that's 22 years old.

I always admire the way you write plot summaries. Very fun use of prose.

Paul Walker

I have a weird compliment for your YouTube videos. If I find myself having a hard time falling asleep making a short playlist with some of your videos helps quite a bit. The combination of some of my favorite movies and your soothing voice is like virtual melatonin.

Fun reaction Kali! I been a minute since I’ve watched this one. Still holds up! Iconic role by Johnny Depp! I think I heard Johnny Depp say Capt. Jack Sparrow’s mannerisms were partly based on Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones I think Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa was excellent as well! And to think this film was inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland! 😄 Looking forward to the next one!

Robin Holmes

Loved your reaction! Fun Fact: Johnny Depp's first movie debut was in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984) so it shocks me this is your first Depp flick. Personally, I would say this has the most iconic music score of any movie besides Jurassic Park. When the swashbuckling music plays I want to pick up a plastic sword and duel my 12 year old nephew (his mom forbids it and I respect that). But you can't tell me that music just hypes you up and you want that on beat clangs where no one gets hurt. And Depp just makes me think of a college student showing up late to a job interview. And the job was service and he nailed it.

Phil Stubblefield

Absolutely agree! Kali has some of the finest film descriptions of any reactor I've ever supported! 😲

Phil Stubblefield

Entertaining reaction as always, Kali! I'm glad that you now understand why this film became such an expected cultural phenomenon! Other commenters have already noted the fact that the Pirates of the Caribbean originated as a Disneyland ride. You can read more details here: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disneyland/pirates-of-the-caribbean/ According to the website, the ride opened on March 18, 1967. I didn't ride it immediately — given that I was only 3 ½ years old! — but as a SoCal resident, I certainly experienced it within the next few years. It was a water ride that began in a simulated swamp, complete with blinking fireflies, and then went underground through a maze of various pirate-y scenes. I remember being scared the first time because I was pretty young, but the ride was so magical that it quickly became one of my favorites parts of a trip to Disneyland! You'll notice from the pictures on the website that one scene in the movie is an almost literal recreation of one part of the ride where some captured pirates try to entice a guard dog to bring them the keys to their prison cell. The scene was such a delightful homage for me and others who had ridden the original ride! In 2007, the MythBusters episode "Pirate Special 2" tested whether it was actually possible to walk underwater while breathing the air trapped in an upside-down rowboat. SPOILER: Unfortunately for us fans, the myth was busted, disproving what seemed like a very clever ruse by Captain Jack Sparrow! (See: https://mythresults.com/episode92) Looking forward to the next couple of entries in this series! 😁

There's some really great Johnny Depp films. Edward Scissor Hands, Cry Baby, Donnie Brasco, Blow, What's Eating Gilbert Grape to name a few.

kaliwali

I need to check out some of them for sure!

kaliwali

Aww that's awesome!!! Thank you so much and I'm so happy to hear my videos bring you some sleep relief 💙✨

kaliwali

I'm glad you love my plot summaries! I really enjoy writing into words more of my thoughts/feelings as they come along after I sit with the film for a bit. I'm glad some people actually read them! Sometimes I worry I ramble too much haha. But it's really relaxing and fun for me 💙

I think you may like Johnny Depp's 1999 movie, "Sleepy Hollow" based on Washington Irving's story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Norrington was always a good an honorable man. Let's not forget that he was willing to jump after Elizabeth when she fell in the water. Could've gotten himself killed. He always cared for Elizabeth. And I love that the writers didn't turn him into a villain just because he was Will's competition. Now when it comes to the villains - they are absolutely incredible. Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa is just as great in this as Johnny Depp. He plays more the conventional pirate. But he has such a presence. Johnny and Geoffrey have incredible chemistry, their scenes are my favorites in the movie. His last line "I feel....cold." is very tragic. Johnny Depp of course is absolutely brilliant. He created one of the most unique characters in cinema.

I had a friend who worked on this movie set as an extra. You can see him for like two seconds. I think he’s one of the pirates and yells. “Argggh”. He kept telling me what a big hit he thinks this movie will be. She also raves about Johnny Depp and how great it was to work with him but a nice guy he was. How he treated everybody on the set like they were his friend and as an equal. Every pirate movie I’ve ever seen was garbage. He’s describing this to me and telling me It’s actually a Disneyland ride that they’re making into a movie. It sounds absolutely horrible by the way, he’s describing it.. It becomes an enormous hit so then he talks me into working on the next movie that’s in town and it’s got Hugh Jackman, John Travolta, Halle Berry, Don Cheadle so of course I take his word for it. Oh yeah, we should be extras so we go work on this movie we are actually in it and nbody saw it! I learned an important lesson from these two movies Sometimes a movie that sounds terrible and has almost no big names. (Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knighly were unknowns at the time) can be great and some movie that has tons of stars can be absolutely terrible.
