Jack and Barbossa Talking

Here are two men who can really understand each other.

Neverthing change.

You have the try...

Apply apple's bees

"If you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I'd have an equal share in that curse same as you."

Anyone else get the impression Jack knew the treasure was cursed for real and was still trying to find it? Barbosa didn't believe it until he became cursed himself, but Jack had already met Davy Jones by this point. He knew the legends of the curse could be true. While I'm sure this wasn't the original intent of the writers, in retrospect my theory is that Jack was trying to curse himself of purpose so he'd stand a chance in a fight against Jones without needing to find the Dead Man's Chest, or at least as insurance before he went looking for Jones' heart.

Honestly the curse from the original movie is a lot easier to weaponise. They didn't even feel pain, whereas even if you can't kill Jones without stabbing the heart, wounding him clearly hurts him to some degree, as he cries out when wounded by both Jack and Will. Not to mention that Jones' crew members, while they evidently having remarkable healing abilities and don't age, they can be killed, whereas Barbosa's crew in the first movie couldn't without lifting the curse. All Jack would need to do is lure Jones into shallow water fake a defeat so Jones' crew boards the Pearl, then reveal that they're all immortal, slaughter Jones' crew and then take the Dutchman with only Jones himself to contend with.

Jack always knew Jones would come back for him. He swore Jones 100 years of service. It can't be a coincidence that the first thing Jack did after having the Pearl raised from the depths of the ocean was seek out an immortality that could rival Jones himself.

A Captain and his First Mate, ex-First Mate, his internship with Sparrow made him confident enough to become a captain himself. But a first mate is always a first mate to his captain, thats why jack still calls him Hector.

The scene when jacks about forced to marry the scabies winch and Barbossa crashes the party…………Jack: “ Hector! Me bestest mate in the whole world!!”
With the most truth in his voice and face….. their relationship, past interactions, and that situation…. Makes that scene for me their best interaction

Easily my 2 favorite characters in the franchise

Why does Jack always appear drunk in the fifth movie?

Love these small scenes. They really exemplify the fact they’re really best mates. They just disagree ALOT of the time, and who is a best friend but a person you disagree with all the time but get along with all the time all the same

the problem with bein' the last of anythin' is that by and by there be nothin' left at all

It is immediately apparent how much of a drunken fool Jack became in the last movie, rather than an sly, cunning sparrow using his name and reputation to make others drop their guard until he says exactly what he needs to to survive.

Like the dynamics between these two

What I love about the scene where Jack and hector are tied to the trees is that barbossa’s and the pearl’s theme from curse of the black Pearl plays

Hector!

There's just something different about the first three films.
I feel like the action was comedic, but the chracters themselves still took it serious. Scene like the water wheel or jack escape from the dauntless or davyjones spinwheel were funny for the audience but at no point in time did the characters stop to laugh abiut their situations. Sure outside characters projected how we as the audience felt, but nobody reacted with a marvelesque pun.
I think this feel of touch got lost with verbinski. And then there is the other problem. The sequels often failed to capture the essence or really understand some characters.
Paired with unkwon characters, the characters we as the audience knew felt out of place, because they were becoming more and more caricatures of themselves.
Jack always worked best when he was not the main focus, when he coudl have his own side story and he could be sceming. He always has a plan, an adaptation. He looks chaotic and goofy but behind his jester and oaf facade hides brilliance and it was when this vrilliance shone through when jack was at his best.
In later seuqels this became less and less until the facade, the cariacture of himself became the character.
And the same dynamic could be seen all over the sequels.
They were but poor imitation of the original only hinting at the true nature by giving glimpses of oast exploitations and character attributes to hide their mistunderstanding of the characters and world.

What i want so say with this is not that they were bad films. In and of itself i think the movies were alright, but because they tried to emulate a world they did not really help to capture the essence from, they failed.
Theirs was but an illguided venture on replicating past glory without the mind for acknowlesging the way to said glory.
If they had understood this maybe some better stories could have been created in the sequels stead.

They where never true enemies, just two men who got in eachothers way

Literally every scene with these two are the best moments for dialogue

People would kill for lore like this

Jack is the original owner of the black pearl after all

Despite having love-hate relationship, you have to admit when these two starts talking you can't help but love to watch their dynamics and how they trade their philosophical views.

Barbossa Was the better Pirate ☠️ 👑💵💵💵💵💵👑

Jack and Hector's relationship is similar to that of many other iconic fictional characters like the Doctor and the Master, Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft or Moriarty, Optimus Prime and Megatron, Yugi Muto/Atem and Seto Kaiba, and many more.

I'd say this puts me in a rather favourable position dadddyyy 😁

You know they deep down best friend when Jack was willing yo share everything, including the location of the treasure to Barbosa, and Barbosa despite being one of the pirate lord, was willing to serve under Jack

Barbossa was always my favorite character in the franchise

Hmm, Leg juice

Margret Smith

Jack saying Hector hits diff to Barbosa

The thing that always gets me is how Barbossa shares his leg with Jack, even through all that’s come to pass that’s the thing that stands out to me as why Barbossa must truly respect him.

bonnie lass

Literally just Goku and Vegeta in another universe.

We can literally watch Jack's character turn to sh!t as people forget who he is and how to write him.

Barbosa:"We take this secret to our grave."
Jack:"You mean it is true? I was just bluffing."
Doesn't that just sum up the whole series. 😂

I hate what they did to Jack’s character in the last one. This video really makes it clear. They made him incapable of serious conversation

I always got the idea that Barbosa never truly wanted to lead the mutiny against Jack, but that the mutiny would have happened anyway so Berbossa chose the ship and crew over a friend

Geoffrey Rush is a lovable underrated actor.

I'm so glad they kept Barbosa around throughout the series. He made a great villain, but an even better ally.

Barbossa is so satisfyingly classy. And its so refreshing that he and Jack have history
