I now own the new movie POC, but I am confused about what happened in the movie. Does anyone eles care to explain it to me. I understand the first and second just not the third. It was good though, just rather confusing not knowing what was going on. :rolleyes:

Well . . . basically, Davy Jones is being controlled by Cutler Beckett who wants eveyone involved with piracy obliviated, so, not wanting this the pirates obviously need to figure out a way to kill Davy Jones and by doing so rendering Beckett practically useless.
Now I can understand why it may have confused you as the story has a lot of twists and sub plots so it gets very complicated at times and a lot of stuff you don't find out till later.
So yeah Barbossa, who was brought back from the dead by Tia Dalma, has to free Tia Dalma from her human form as she is the sea goddess Calipso. To do this he needs all the pirate lords little do hickie's/pieces of eight but of coarse Jack Sparrow is a pirate lord so first they need to bring him back to the dead. To do that they need the maps off of one of the other pirates lords, Seu Feng . . . and i bet thats spelt wrong, which they get and then blah blah blah they bring him back blah blah . . . they go to meet up with Seu Feng again not knowing that he and Will have made an agreement for Will to take over the Pearl as he wants to kill Davy Jones so he can free his father blah blah . . . but Seu Feng has also betrayed them to Beckett . . . insert fight in which Jack is also carted off to Becketts ship where they make an agreement also . . . and then blah blah . . . Jack ends up back on Pearl, Elizabeth on Seu Fengs ship 'cause he actually thinks she is Calypso . . . AND OMFG I didn't actually realise how confusing this is . . . :wacko:
Ok blah blah . . . Seu Feng gets killed cause Davy Jones ship blows some of em up. Seu Feng makes Elizabeth captain. Norrigton who is Admiral on Davy Jones ship helps them escape and he gets killed too. Oh and along here we find out that by killing Davy Jones then you have to take his place and cart the dead to . . . wherever dead people go.
Um . . .
You know wat stuff that.

Exactly confusing doesn't even half way cover it! I understand some of it I just wondered about what they were all making deals about, and what happens to Elizabeth on the island they leave her on. Also why did they leave her there by herself???? This movie is good but I couldn't really enjoy it because I had no clue why they were doing what they were doing through the entire movie! This really sucks! Any body eles understand the movie care to explain?

I've seen the movie 3 times.. and I can't remember it oO
I don't remember Elizabeth being stuck on an island.
What exactly don't you get?
The basic plot is; Barbossa wants to get all of the pirate lords together, so they can get the 9 Pieces of 8, so they can free Tia Dalma, who is Calipso.
Johnny was eaten by the Kracken, and sent to Davey Jones' Locker, which is worse than death (apparently). This is why Johnny has those hullicinations with the peanut.
And yeah. Beckett wants to rid the world of piracy. Barbossa and Will Turner want to kill Davey Jones. Jack is upset because he's being used and everyone wants to kill him. Elizabeth can't choose between Will and Jack. She gets made captain of Sau Feng's ship.
Uh... *has an idea*
After Elizabeth, Will, and Captain Barbossa rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from the the land of the dead, they must face their foes, Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett. Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng, to gathering. The Pirate Lords want to release the goddess Calypso, Davy Jones's damned lover, from the trap they sent her to out of fear, in which the Pirate Lords must combine the 9 pieces that bound her by ritual to undo it and release her in hopes that she will help them fight. With this, all pirates will stand together and will make their final stand for freedom against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading Company.
^-> That's one of many plot outlines from IMDb. :D
I haven't read it, so I don't know how accurate it is.

OK, but why is Jack having those weird hullucinations? That was funny but made no sence what so ever. Oh and why is Elizabeth not on her ship instead of the island? They just took her out to it and left her with nothing but the heart of Will. There is so much I don't get even though I understood the last ones. :huh:

Okay. I have seen this movie 'bout 50 times and I understand it pretty good. (Though my explanation will probably confuse you ^_^)
Okay so, in this movie there's lots of cheating, lying, and double-crossing. (As there should be in a pirate movie)
I'll tell each character's plan and hopefully it'll explain the movie a little more.
Jack is in the land of the dead with his beloved ship and nothing but hallucinations and crabs to keep him company. Throughout the movie he debates whether or not to stab Jones' heart and become captain of the Dutchman forever. *dramatic music*
Will needs the Black Pearl to, presumably, catch up with the Dutchman and free his father. At the beginning of the movie he is unaware of the consequences of stabbing the heart. For the majority of the movie he is also under the impression that Elizabeth loves Jack.
Elizabeth feels guilty about killing Jack so is going along to the Land of the Dead to bring him back. She obviously still loves Will, not Jack.
Barbossa only needs Jack because he is one of the pirate lords and he has the Black Pearl.
Sao Feng states quite clearly that he doesn't care for Jack Sparrow, but because he wants to make a deal with Beckett, he makes a deal with Will to give him the maps in return for Will to make the deal with Beckett. (Or something like that. I'm confusing meself already...)
We find out that Tia Dalma is actually Calypso, the sea goddess and she was Davvy Jones true love. Though Davvy Jones seems to be unsure whether or not he loves or hates her.
So that plot moves along with the above in mind yadda yadda yadda. Cheating, lying, and double-crossing ensues. At the end, Jack is about to stab the heart, but Davvy Jones stabs Will, so Will stabs the heart to stay 'alive'. He spends his one day on land with Elizabeth on the island. She doesn't get left behind. If you look you can see the Black Pearl afloatin' in the background (i think...) So supposedly she gets back on the Pearl and goes back to Port Royal.
Hope that confusing explanation un-confused you! :)

Ok now that helped a lot. The only thing I don't get now is about wut that Sao Feng is there for and will Elizabeth probably ever see Will again????? Ari gets teary eyed. :(
hot - December 26, 2007 02:52 AM (GMT)
Sao Feng is one of the pirate lords and he had the maps that tell you how to get to the Land of the Dead.
Elizabeth gets to see Will once every 10 years. If you rewind through all the credits there's and easter egg scene at the end that's kinda cute. ^_^
Helpful?

Oh I get it now! Thanks Emilie! I still feel bad for Elizzabeth and Will though.... <_<
hot - December 26, 2007 03:38 AM (GMT)
I cried so hard in the theater. :cry: Actually it was kinda embarrassing....

AAAWWW I know I did at home, but I am glad I was alone. Plus if the others were true fans they probably cried too! :P So that means you liked the movie too??? I did I just was very confused, but my fav. part was the peanut and Jack! I laughed my butt off at that! :rolleyes:
