Blood needed to lift curse

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2005)

My comment is to point out something that viewers may have overlooked concerning this movie. As Captain Barbosa said, anyone who removes even a single piece from the chest will be punished forever. The curse can only be lifted when all the gold coins are returned to the chest and the blood repaid. I would like to point out that when Will Turner dropped the coin with his blood on it, and the coin with Captain Jack Sparrow's blood on it, into the chest, that that is when his father died, that is, if in fact, his father was still at the bottom of the ocean. For the almost 10 years prior to that, his father was not dead. The only way they could have needed the blood of Bootstrap Bill to lift the curse, was if Bootstrap Bill removed a coin from the chest and in doing so, he would have become one of the cursed and as such he can't die. It was right after that that he was on his way down to Davey Jones locker, namely the bottom of the ocean, thanks to Captain Barbosa. I think that most people that see this movie will get the impression that he died then but he most certainly was not dead. He can't die until the curse is lifted.
The fact that he was not dead for the 10 years prior to his son dropping the coin in the chest makes me wonder what he was doing all that time, so I think that maybe...
I can't wait for the next Pirate movie to be released.
For years I always said that the best movie ever was "Kelly's Heroes." Now, it's "Kelly's Heroes and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" that is the best movie ever.
