Once upon a time in the Caribbean
So I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 the other night… and I'm there, enjoying my movie, when out of the blue, there's this huge Sergio Leone moment, straight out of Once Upon a Time in the West. I mean, the pirates are walking on this sand bank in the middle of the sea, going to meet the English for a parlay, and suddenly, extreme face close-ups, slow motion walking, and the same music, almost. They only changed the instruments, a couple of notes, but 90% is the same, the tempo, the instrument changes, everything, and it was nice, I was blown away. I loved watching that… but the theater was quiet. To them, it was just another scene. There was no one to share the moment with.
So I'm sharing it with yous.
