Adapted from the famous Disney park attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most profitable franchises of the 2000s. Thanks to Hans Zimmer’s epic scores, it really captured millions of fans.
After the first high-flyer opus, the long-awaited continuation of the saga, presented in the form of a diptych depicting the confrontation between Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and his former partner Davy Jones, the first film debuted in 2006 with The Secret of. Cursed chest.
This second interlude (which was supposed to end barely 10 months after the third film) offered the audience a new epic odyssey. On the journey: Cursed pirates, cannibalistic natives, a shipwrecked captain, a giant monster and… a huge final surprise!
Indeed, as viewers who discovered the film in theaters during its release will surely remember, The Secret of the Cursed Chest featured an anthology cliffhanger in particular. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you don’t continue reading this article and come back only after you find out.
The scene in question, set in the final seconds of the feature film, takes place in the cabin of Tia Dalma, a strange woman living in the middle of a swamp. Around him, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and their friends look gloomy as their adventure companion Captain Jack Sparrow has just fallen into the mouth of the fearsome Kraken.
But against all odds, Tia Dalma says, they still have a chance to bring Jack back to life. to restore the latter, which according to him is preserved “Davy Jones’s Lair”They will need it “To face the mysterious and barren waters of the oceans of the end of the world”. Dalma then adds that they will need to do this“The Captain Who Knows All Secrets”.
Just then, the sound of a boot was heard on the stairs of the small house, and under the bewildered eyes of the heroes, Captain Hector Barbosa – the antagonist of the first part, who pierced Jack Sparrow with his mouth – appeared again in the flesh. and blood.
The pirate, played by Geoffrey Rush, is far from the only character in cinema who has suddenly returned from the dead.
This twist, dressed up beautifully with Hans Zimmer’s famous theme, was the end of the film. Stunned by this unexpected return and the reappearance of this character, who everyone thought was dead, the audience had to wait until the following year and the theatrical release of the third opus to get the ending of the story.
As we were told at the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean: At the End of the World – quite quickly, we must admit – that’s why Tia Dalma brought Barbosa back to life with her powers. Later in the film, we learn that she resurrected the pirate for a very specific reason: to assemble a Brotherhood tribunal, allowing her to revert to her original form, the goddess Calypso.
