#this entire scene is a fucking masterpiece #the building tension in Barbossa’s cabin #the strings in the score rising ominously #and then the entire movie turns on a /dime/ #‘oh okay’ #I remember thinking #‘fucking GHOST PIRATES’ #it drops from historical swashbuckler to fantasy swashbuckler in one set piece #in which the rules for how the crew work are given to you purely in visuals #and you get to see that sharp difference between horror-horror and fun horror #because this scene genuinely terrifies Elizabeth #and delights /you/ #instead of being awful for both of you #god it’s just so neatly done and raises the stakes for the film and puts everything into context and adds depth to the characters #and comes as a complete surprise #this is all the things you want in a set piece #we should all aspire to storytelling so economical #(incidentally so should THE SEQUELS #christ) (via wizzard890)
