...the music. The vertical cliffs resembles how nature is supperior to human-beings and that they have to compete with it to survive. The cage is in contrast to the background, being dark with a the bright background. This makes us focus on the cage rather than anything else. The scenery seems very idylic. There is a great contrast between the music, the environment and the pirates’ situation. When the pirates climb the mountain, all lines seem to point downwards, towards the concequences they risk experiencing. (2:23). A cannibal is framed by the lines to make him stand outThe music stops here, because they don’t sway in cages anymore. The snake is a symbol of evil, and evil makes the cage fall to the underground. (3:03) Obviously they have used a green screen to manipulate the fall of the pirates. The cage is placed in the center of the screen to make our eyes focus there. Also, the gap between the cliffs seems infinite, due to the fog. It is rather comical, they are almost laughing. Again, the clash between the silent nature and the hectical cage creates clear division. The cliffs devour the pirate cage and this displays how different Man is to nature. (3:06) The painting on the cannibal, example the bark-ish paint on his torso, resembles the connection between these Carib People and the nature. (3:07) All the lines are diagonal, indicating a turbulent situation. (3:13) Skulls resembles the religion of the cannibals, becaused they used bones as a symbol of religion...

...colonialism in the Caribbean at the hands of western powers particularly the English, French, Spanish, United States, and Dutch is overall negative due to the numerous African slaves brought to work on exploitative plantations who were even after emancipation and independence very poor and continued to suffer the consequences of exploitative colonialism brought by westerners. However, one of the few positives brought on by western colonialism in Caribbean is the introduction and subsequent spread of baseball. While baseball is commonly known as “America’s Pastime” it’s popularity across the world within the United States, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean islands, South America and Japan makes it far more than just “America’s Pastime”....

...to their death. In many movies, such as Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, mermaids and sirens are combined into one creature. In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, characters refer to mermaids as a half human half fish creature that sing to lure sailors to their death. I am using this mermaid/siren creature as an example of a siren, since they have sired characteristics. My archetype is temptresses in greek mythology. The difference between greek mythologies and the movies trademark characteristics is their form. In greek mythology Sirens are half human and half bird and in the movie Sirens are half human half fish. This affects their setting as well....

...Piracy in the Caribbean The Golden Age of piracy- Piracy in the Caribbean began in the 16th century and later ended in the 1830’s. The golden age of piracy occurred from the 1650’s to the 1730’s. During this period, shipments of valuable cargo from Europe increased. Many men and women turned to piracy to live the life of freedom and to benefit off of the riches gained by leading a pirate's life. Many pirates recruited crew members from ships they captured. Very few reluctantly joined a pirate's crew, especially if they worked for little or no pay on a merchant or cargo ship. Despite the anarchy portrayed by pirates, there were rules to be obeyed. For instance, crew members could not steal from one another and women could not come aboard a pirate ship. Pirates had to follow every rule or else they faced punishment. Violators faced marooning, walking the plank, or being hanged for breaking the rules. Famous Pirates- Edward Teach “Blackbeard” (English) - He commanded four ships and had a pirate army of 300 at the height of his career, and defeated the famous warship, HMS “Scarborough” in sea-battle. He was known for barreling into battle clutching two swords, with several knives and pistols at the ready. He captured over forty merchant ships in the Caribbean, and without flinching killed many prisoners. Though he had many unofficial wives, he was “officially” married to a 16 year old girl - whom legend has it he offered as a gift to his crew after she tried to reform him. After...

...expanding into, movies, merchandise, virtual gaming, theme parks, and websites. Not only have they expanded their goods and services but have reached out to a larger markets. They have reached out to girl and boy tweens. They released their first PG- 13 movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, this helped capture an older target market rather than only appealing to children. 2. How does Disney’s cross-platform franchising help create sustainable competitive advantage? Cross-platforming helps Disney reach larger markets while staying sustainable. They have such platforms in consumer products, theme parks, and record labels. When Disney has a successful franchise they tend to penetrate the market with it. For example they saw that such movies like Cars, Pirates, and Monsters Inc. did extremely well so they will make sequels. They have also added these characters to their theme parks. 3. Describe the marketing mix for one of Disney’s franchises. Pirates of the Caribbean was Disney’s first PG-13 rated film. This helped Disney finally reach a different target market. Pirates of the Caribbean appealed to older kids and even adults. This was the preliminary steps for promoting to the tween boy market, ages 6-14. Pirates can also be seen off the classic theme park rides and merchandising around the world. 4. Describe the major components of Bob Iger’s strategic plan.

...Huynh Thieu Dinh (Felix) Eng4U Mr. Burton October 31th, 2013 Hamlet Act 1 Scene 5: Pirate of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl Hamlet is a story take place around the 14th to 15th century in the land of Denmark. The ghost scene from act 1 scene 5 is a crucial scene since it is the beginning of Hamlet’s plot for revenge. It is also one of Shakespeare “signature” scenes because most of his plays always include a supernatural figure manipulates and affects the plot. Then how could anything make the scene any better than it is now? The answer is changes the scene to an adaptation of the movie “Pirate of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl”. The adaptation would change the setting, costumes and makeups, dialogue, lighting, and figure placement. Setting: In the adaptation, I want to add in an ominous atmosphere for the setting of the scene because it would fit the supernatural event. First the time setting is at a starless night along with a crescent moon. Hamlet runs through a dark forest toward the ghost voice beyond the luminous light. Then, Hamlet reaches a sea shore covered in thick layers of mists. The dark forest, luminous light and misty sea shore are the factors that contribute to the mysterious setting. The reason I create this part of the setting is to enhance the meeting between Hamlet and the ghost. When Hamlet reaches the seashore, the voice stops and he then sees a ghost ship floats into a cave. Again, the cave also acts as a factor generates the haunting...

...In 1494, after Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean, the world was divided into two areas of exploration and colonization, the Portuguese and the Spain, in order to avoid conflict between the two forces. This was known as the Treaty of Tordesillas, where Spain established the policy, marcclausm i.e. sea closed to others. Elizabeth soon implied that Spain caused aggression by restricting the access of foreigners in to the Americas and so the concept of “no peace beyond the line” was introduced. The Spaniards settled in the West Indies, mainly in the countries in the Greater Antilles and had settled in a little of the Lesser Antilles, the Bahamas and the Guianas, and so these areas became a weakness for the Spanish monopoly and this is where it began to be challenged. The Spanish were complemented by the trading system where the Indians slaves were forced to bring their gold and other resources. Eventually, the prospect of profits from gold was lessened, as the commodity soon became exhausted and so they turned to livestock and sugar production. Spain’s wealth increased tremendously in the sixteenth century and so did their attempts to curtail the Europeans from stealing their riches. The introduction of military measures such as establishing forts, bureaucratic centralization and house of trades (e.g. The Casa de Contratacion) were various strategies that Spain employed to regulate trade between Spain and her colonies. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries...

...Judith Pulido October 11, 2011 C/LT 320I T/R 3:30-4:45 The Trickster and Captain Jack Sparrow The trickster is a mythical figure, which brings about a boon of healing and rebirth. Trickster is able to heal a crowd by laughter. He is able to do so by using his unrestrained imagination of telling the truth and saying things as is. He always finds a way out of social constraints and is able to spread his healing all over. In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow illustrates this by finding a way out of social constraint, telling the truth, and ultimately saving everyone by being the fool he is. Although many things may get in the way of retrieving his freedom, Captain Sparrow is always able to find a way out of constraining social constructs. When he first arrives in Port Royal a toll collector stops him. Successfully he is able to get through by bribing his way out by offering three “shillings” but being a pirate as he is, he steals the toll collector’s bag and acquires more money than he gave. He is also able to find a hole to escape when Commodore Norrington and the British Navy catch him after saving Miss Elizabeth Swann. When he is handcuffed he uses them and Elizabeth to escape. Also, because he knows that the British Navy does not trust him, he skillfully tricks them. With the help of William Turner he steals the Commodore’s ship with a few tricks up his sleeve. He pretends to steal one ship to gain another...

...Geoffrey Rush began to open up like a sunflower facing direct sunlight. Rush starred in Shakespeare in love, the spoof mystery men, and many other films as the year progressed. While working on Hollywood blockbusters, Rush also continued to appearon stage in theatres. In 2009 saw him makehis Broadway debut in Exit the King as the dying monarch Berenger. He won the Tony Award for best actor for his excellent performance. One of my most favourite films in which Rush delivers top-notch, world-class performances from which we can all draw much inspiration and be left in a state of awe is that from the Pirates of the Caribbean blockbuster. We can all agree that his absence in any one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies is unthinkable at this point. Geoffrey Rush acquired a lot of attention for his tailor-fitted dramatic portrayal of Captain Barbossa in the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean.

...David Cordingly, an engaging, self-exclaimed pirate expert, gives a vivid history of what it was like to live during the height of Atlantic piracy. Cordingly tells us who became pirates, what they wore, and how they were armed among many other detailed accounts of every day life both on land and at sea. Pirates, says the author, were attracted by the lure of plunder and the desire for an easy life.” The author explains that these men and women were not the fantasized heroes of today’s popular culture, but ruthless thieves, murderers, and lawbreakers. Famous pirates from widely known as well as unfamiliar stories are depicted. The legends and histories of Sir Francis Drake, Harry Morgan, Edward Teach or Blackbeard and Captain Kidd are included to pay dues to these most popularly known buccaneers’ adventurous tales. I observed throughout his book that although some of the stories are quite fantastic, David Cordingly stressed that the life of pirates and buccaneers during the 16th and 17th centuries was not as dazzling and romanticized as popular culture would...

...pictures and of such fictions as, “Treasure Island”,”Peter Pan” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the pirate of imagination is a romantic blend of many details. He is pictured as a swarthy ruffian with a black beard or a fierce mustache. He wears gold earrings and a large hat and he carries a dagger with a pistol on his belt. Often giving orders such as, “Burry the treasure” or “Walk the plank”. He is often depicted as a cavalier in high boots and an elegant over coat. The pirate of imagination and in that of motion pictures is that of a thief but the audience grows to like him though the movie as he is usually very good looking, sly ,stealthy while saving a “damsel in distress” and or there is a love story in the script. In actuality, pirates were more often desperate, drunken men who dressed in tatters, wasted food and money and were dishonest outlaws who rarely got the girl unless she was forced. Pirates often turned to piracy in protest against oppressive conditions at home or on merchant ships. The life of a free unrestrained outlaw is what they sought. While there aren’t very many real pirates left in the world today we do still have a major problem with piracy. Pirates no longer require war ships, daggers or swords just computers and advanced technology. People who rebel against the common laws of our nations and who only care about filling their pockets and about their own well-being. Today’s pirates are pirates of technology, stealing information from cds’, dvds’, blue rays’...
