movie " Pirates of the Caribbean " series has filmed a total of five films so far, and achieved a score of 7.2-8.8 on Douban respectively. Compared with the previous three films, the ratings of the last two films dropped from 8.8 points to about 7.2 points, which may be due to the success and foreshadowing of the first three films. The latter two films did not give the audience the viewing experience they expected, but overall The Pirates of the Caribbean series is a very successful pirate movie. The whole series of
takes the legendary experience of pirate captain Jack Sparrow as the main line, showing the audience a witty and wonderful sea world, and also allowing the audience to witness the rise of a sea overlord. Actor Johnny Depp also won numerous awards for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow.
In fact, after watching Pirates of the Caribbean over and over several times, I unconsciously derived a question:
What is Jack Sparrow pursuing in his life?

When I first watched the first "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", I just watched this pirate-themed film from a purely viewing angle. Unexpectedly, this pirate movie with a cliché and simple plot, with a little humor, restarted my childhood desire for pirates, and I simply watched all the follow-up films in one go. The more times
watched repeatedly, the more and more curious Captain Jack was after. When
figured out the first part, he thought that Captain Jack was simply chasing freedom. Because when the captain and the heroine were trapped on the island, he said that he was chasing the "Black Pearl", and that the "Black Pearl" represented freedom. If it is really pure freedom, the captain, who is now reckless and optimistic, has already achieved his wish.

In the second part, the agreement between Captain Jack and Davy Jones is about to expire, and Jack, who has only been the captain for two years, is naturally unwilling to be the "Flying Dutchman" The number went up to fulfill the 100-year contract, so Jack had an excuse to search for the coffin. After all, it contained Jones' heart. With this bargaining chip, Jack had the opportunity to renegotiate with Jones and get rid of the previous 100-year service agreement.
He could have gotten the endless treasure, but passive giving up makes him a blessing in disguise, not to be cursed by the treasure and become a feelingless walking dead. He could have used the Fountain of Youth to achieve the immortality that everyone yearns for, but when he really stood beside the Fountain of Youth with the offering in his hand, he didn't drink the cup of spring water that represented longevity.
Judging from the five films as a whole, Captain Jack is not short of money, women, and confidants. Perhaps these are not what Captain Jack is after.
Captain Jack is a thief who loves to hunt and explore in his Black Pearl. For people like Jack, the burning, killing and looting by ordinary pirates has long been ignored by Jack. Captain Jack is not constrained by money, love, and power, and what he pursues may be a free and unrestrained sea adventure.
There are thousands of ghosts at sea, and Captain Jack provokes half of them.
netizens use such a sentence to express Captain Jack's adventures. Whether or not there is a major event, there will always be Captain Jack's presence. So I think Captain Jack's inner desire for adventure is the most real expression, but there are many uncertain factors in the adventure that make the audience have different opinions.
Finally, quote a line to summarize Captain Jack's heart:
"Jack, I don't understand, you have the Holy Grail, Fountain of Youth, Mermaid Tears"
"You can have eternal life"
"The Fountain of Youth is a test"
"Never try to know the end of your life"
"The meaning of life is to live in the moment"
"Whoever said I can't live forever"
"I am the discoverer of the fountain of youth"
"I myself became a legend"
