Reflections on the Readings and the Movie3
It is not hard to see how this chapter and movie relate to each other. I think that it was a great idea to make a movie based on the ride Pirates of the Caribbean. It was always one of my favorite rides and I was very excited when the movie first came out. There is also a movie based on the ride The Haunted Mansion from Disneyland. I think that it is also fun when they create rides based on movies. For example Indiana Jones, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and the Star Wars rides that are all at Disneyland.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Cures of the Black Pearl (2003) is an awesome movie. The special effects are amazing. For example when Jack Sparrow(Johnny Depp) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) were sword fighting and their bodies move in and out of the moon light, in the light they are skeletons and in the dark they are normal. I think that Johnny Depp is an amazing actor, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are also great in the movie. It is so funny to see the parts that they took straight from the ride, like when Mr. Gibbs was sleeping with the pigs, the pirates in jail trying to bribe the dog with a bone so it will bring them the keys to the cell and when the pirate was chasing the lady through the town in her nightgown. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is a wonderfully made movie that I truly enjoyed and I can hardly wait for the sequel to hit theaters.
