Naval officers like James Norrington to monstrous pirates like Davy Jones, the Caribbean pirates The franchise is just as known for its bad guys as its heroes. The main antagonist of the third film, Caribbean pirates: at the end of the worldwas Lord Cutler Beckett, as described by Tom Hollander. He was the president of the East India Trading Company, and he has made his goal of ridding the hairs of piracy by all the necessary means. Although Beckett did not have the skills of the sword or the supernatural powers of most of the other bad guys in the series, he was just as threatening. At the end of the previous film, Pirates of the Caribbean: breast of the dead manBeckett acquired Jones’ heart and thus took control of him. Using Jones and the rest of the Dutch flyThe crew like his puppets, he started a ruthless crusade against the pirates, forcing the lords of the pirates of the world to unite against him. Beckett played a leading role in the film, but he is best known for the final scene in which he appeared. During the highest point of At the end of the worldTHE Dutch fought with the ship of Captain Jack Sparrow, the Black pearl.

In a dramatic duel, Jones was killed, his immortality ended when Will Turner stabbed his disembodied heart and the Dutch sank at the bottom of the ocean. Although he lost his most powerful tool, Beckett always had his own ship, the HMS Effortwhich could easily exceed the Pearl. As he approached the opposing ship, he smiled with sufficiency and said: “It’s nothing personal, Jack. It’s just a good deal.” Before it can open fire, the Dutch Sea rosé once again. Beckett believed that Jones had survived and was ready to help him in the fight against Jack, but without his knowledge, Will had become the new captain of the cursed ship when he killed Jones. THE Dutch and the Pearl flanked Effort And unleashed a combined dam from their cannons on board. Beckett was too amazed to give orders to his panic team. Instead, He calmly went down the stairs in the neighborhood while the chaos broke out around him in slow motion. This sequence lasted almost a whole minute before Beckett was engulfed in an ardent explosion. It was the Caribbean pirates The most memorable death of the franchise, so what made it work so well?

A major aspect of the success of this scene was how amazing the visuals were. Caribbean pirates is famous for the CGI used to give life to his fantastic creatures, like the DutchMutant Pirate Crew, but the effects of ships of ships were just as impressive. First, Hollander and the other actors were filmed on a set of intact ships. Then, the whole was destroyed using real explosions, and these two sockets were combined digitally. CGI was then used to add beautiful details, such as flying flashes in the air. Some of the explosions have also been replaced by CGI so that they can be timed more precisely; For example, the handrail broke out as soon as Beckett removed his hand. It has met so perfectly that it is almost impossible to distinguish the practical destruction of the visual effects.

Despite the carnage, it was a strangely beautiful scene. This was particularly true for the final blow, in which Beckett fell into the water, poetically wrapped by a sail bearing the logo of the East India Trading Company. In addition, this scene was satisfactory because It was the long -awaited commeuppiance of Beckett. In a series that featured dead-dead pirates and men’s eating marine creatures, Beckett managed to be the most monstrous character of all. He was a ruthless killer who would stop at nothing to exercise his control over the sea. At the end of the world Even open with him executing a child who had lent the pirates to help, a shocking moment for a Disney PG-13 film. During all this time, Beckett was arrogant in an exasperating way, which made his plans all more rewarding while the Dutch turned against him.

The final scene of Beckett was also an excellent demonstration of his personality. He was so used to a feeling of superiority that he did not know how to react when he was beaten. THE Effort could have caused serious damage to Pearl and the Dutch If he had given the order to retaliate, but he was amazed in silence. The death of Beckett reflected for a moment of the novel Pirates of the Caribbean: the price of freedom By Ann C. Crispin, in which Beckett told to be attacked by intimidators at the time of the school:

Cutler knew that he should fight back, should at the very least shout for help. Master Macfarlin could always be within reach. But something strange seemed to have happened to him. He couldn’t be moved or react. He couldn’t even blink. It was as if he had gone elsewhere, outside of himself, somewhere unrelated to his own body, which was now bloody and motionless on the way.

When Effort came under fire, Beckett recalled what it was a frightened and helpless childAnd this feeling of dissociation has returned. At the end of the world was far from the final Caribbean pirates Film, but it was the end of an era. It was the last episode to be directed by Gore Verbinski, and the following film excluded eminent characters like Will and Elizabeth Swann. As one of At the end of the worldThe last scenes, the death of Beckett put an arc on the conclusion of the original Caribbean pirates trilogy. The East India Trading Company, which claimed to be more civilized than the pirates but was honestly as barbaric, was defeated due to the friendship and cooperation of outlaws. There are currently plans for a sixth Caribbean pirates Film, and it will be difficult to go beyond the disappearance of Beckett.
