The Lone Ranger
2013/Adventure, Action, Western/USA
It’s not like the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean series has spawned a wave of related films. It was too difficult to find the same combination of components that would lead to success. So here. It would seem that the film by the director of “Pirates” with Johnny Depp in the title role and an adventure story, coupled with a verified and expensive visual style. It should lead to an absolute victory. But while the film earned $260 million worldwide, it didn’t live up to its budget or the producers’ expectations. Repeating the success of the “Pirates” did not work.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
2010/Adventure, Fantasy, Action
Hollywood went in a slightly different direction: more fantasy, computer effects, and entirely fictional circumstances, and fewer experiments with the sea and sails. “Pirates” – you can, the rest is better to abstain or, in extreme cases, be content with more chamber films like “Life of Pi.” If you look at the proportions, the risk is lower, and in cases of success, there is more noise.
Black Sails
2014/Drama, Adventure/USA
True, an unexpected success awaited the pirate theme on television. The series “Black Sails” appealed to even sophisticated viewers, and for several seasons “Sails” have been shown with the great public interest. Yes, it is, perhaps, less than that of “Pirates,” because the series turned out to be realistic and cruel. It is not at all a family film from the Disney family. But it is all the more interesting to observe what his popularity can lead to.
Captain Phillips
2013/Drama, Thriller, Biopic/USA
Modern cinema is increasingly polarized. On the one hand, there are films in which there are no real locations, but everything is drawn on a computer. Almost cartoons. On the other hand, an attempt to recreate the most exciting moments as realistically as possible and the story of Captain Phillips, who spoke out against real modern pirates. It is no less exciting than any travel on the Black Pearl.
Shine a Light
2008/Musical film, Documentary film, Biopic
And finally, fans of Captain Jack Sparrow will be especially pleased to see the image on which this character was based in all its glory. Keith Richards feels much more comfortable on stage and with a guitar than in the films of the “Pirate” series, where he is kindly invited as a wedding general. The drive of this film can only be fully felt in the cinema, but even on the small screen. The energy of the Rolling Stones knocks the discouraged viewer off their feet. Captain Jack Sparrow still has a lot to learn here.
