WillKill4Food said:So it looks like the Fountain of Youth requires the sacrifice of a mermaid/Siren to work: one life must be destroyed to preserve another.
Given the whole Faustian ordeal from the first film, I'm guessing that the zombies are what you become (or can become) when you drink from the Fountain: you get eternal life, all right, but no rejuvenation.
Or something like that?
TheMutt92 said:That's what it looks like to me. One thing I've always appreciated about this franchise is that it has embraced the themes of life, death, and resurrection in full. All Jack wants to do is live forever on the sea, but to do so usually requires unwanted sacrifice or consequences (as exemplified by Barbossa and Davy Jones).
In that sense, it does a pretty shallow job of covering those subjects... The only really poignant scene that comes to mind is that one towards the end of At World's End when Jack sacrifices immortality itself so that Will can survive.TheMutt92 said:That's what it looks like to me.

Not sure I understand why the mermaids are topless. Seems like even if they cover them with their long flowing hair or perfectly-placed objects, the "family-oriented" Americans would probably prefer closure with a sea-shell bra or something. Granted, I understand that "realism" seems to be the goal, but we're talking about mermaids... Ya know?TheMutt92 said:Here there be mermaids...

Also, I've been silent on this so far but I'd like to offer my obligatory gripe about the skull and swords Jolly Roger. The first film was a skull and swords, the second a skull and tiki torches, the final a skull and bones (appropriately). Couldn't they think of something more inventive for the fourth outing?
