brings disgust to a new level

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2007)

I used to have the feeling that most of modern movies try to be more and more disgusting in order to attract the attention of the viewer. This movie proves this totally. The amount of disgust in this movie increases linearly with time. Initially it's not that bad, you get some Keira Knightley moments, so you think it's going fine. People are normal and even when you see Johnny Depp trying to escape from that sort of prison where scary birds eat humans alive(alive being the humans,not the birds,well actually the birds are alive too :P) you think it is acceptable since that may have been the artistic way for the director to go on. But then deformed people (actually hybrids of human and fish) start appearing more and more. You get the feeling that they are disgusting, but after some time, they look sexy compared to the more recent characters. Don't get me wrong. I don't have problem with "disgusting" scenes as soon as they have a point. If you watch Pasolini's Salo you will get a lot of scary scenes, but it's a very good movie, very worth watching. Because it has a reason to exist. Pirates of Caribbean is not worth existing. It's only made because some people were bored and decided to make money, thanks to the audience that go to the cinema to watch every trendy thing that everyone else has watched. The final conclusion is that if this movie did not exist, the history of cinematography would have been better.
