''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'' is a 2007 American epic fantasy swashbuckler film and the third installment of the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' film series. The plot follows Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), and the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' rescuing Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' Locker, and then preparing to fight the East India Trading Company, led by Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) and Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), who plan to extinguish piracy forever. It is the last film in the series to be directed by Gore Verbinski. It was shot in two shoots during 2005 and 2006, the former simultaneously with the preceding film, ''Dead Man's Chest''. The film was released in English-speaking countries on May 25, 2007, after Walt Disney Pictures decided to move the release date a day earlier than originally planned. Critical reviews were mixed. The film was praised for its performances, musical score, action scenes, and special effects, but was criticized for its plot and running time. ''At World's End'' was a box office hit, becoming the most successful film of 2007, with over $960 million worldwide. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Makeup and the Academy Award for Visual Effects, which it lost to ''La Vie en Rose'' and ''The Golden Compass'', respectively. A fourth installment, ''On Stranger Tides'', the first to neither be directed by Verbinski nor star Bloom and Knightley, was released in cinemas on May 20, 2011. With a production budget of $300 million, ''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'' was the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release, even after adjusting for inflation. ==Plot== To control the oceans, Lord Cutler Beckett executes anyone associated with piracy and uses Davy Jones to destroy pirate ships. Condemned prisoners sing “Hoist the Colours” to compel the nine Pirate Lords to convene at Shipwreck Cove to hold the Brethren Court. However, Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the Lords, never named a successor. Captain Barbossa, along with Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Tia Dalma, and the crew of the ''Black Pearl'', plot to rescue Jack from Davy Jones’ Locker. Travelling to Singapore, the crew meet Sao Feng who owns navigational charts to the Locker. Beckett’s soldiers invade, but the crew escape, Feng and Turner making a deal to give Jack to Feng so he in turn can use the ''Pearl'' to rescue his father Bootstrap Bill from the ''Flying Dutchman''. The crew successfully rescue Jack, but find themselves trapped in the Locker, encountering dead souls, including Elizabeth’s murdered father Governor Swann. They learn the ''Dutchman'' must have a captain, and their heart must be cut out to captain the vessel. Returning to the living world, the ''Pearl'' crew are set upon by Sao Feng and Beckett’s men. Through a complex series of deals, Elizabeth is handed over to Feng under the belief she is the goddess Calypso, while the rest of the crew make for Shipwreck Cove aboard the ''Pearl'', though Jack later kicks Will off the ship as part of the plan to seize control of the ''Dutchman'' and save Will’s father. Sao Feng explains to Elizabeth that the Brethren Court bound Calypso in human form after she betrayed her lover Davy Jones, and plans to release her to defeat Beckett. Davy Jones attacks Feng’s ship, killing him, but he appoints Elizabeth his successor as Pirate Lord before dying. Admiral Norrington frees Elizabeth and her new crew from the ''Dutchman'' upon learning what happened to Elizabeth’s father, but is run through by a crazed Bootstrap Bill. The ''Black Pearl'' arrives at Shipwreck Cove where Barbossa tries to convince the Court to release Calypso. Jack’s father Captain Teague and Keeper of the Pirate Code, informs the Court that only an elected Pirate King can decide what shall be done, so Jack votes for Elizabeth to ascend to the title. Davy Jones visits Tia Dalma in the Pearl’s brig, revealing she is Calypso, and they promise to be together again. When Beckett’s fleet arrive to confront the Brethren Court’s, Elizabeth, Jack, Barbossa, Beckett, Jones, and Will parley, trading Will for Jack, and Barbossa steals Jack’s piece of eight, all of which are owned by the Pirate Lords and required to free Calypso. Barbossa frees Calypso, but when Will reveals it was Jones who imprisoned her, Calypso vanishes and summons an enormous maelstrom. The ''Pearl'' and the ''Dutchman'' battle in the maelstrom, with both Will and Elizabeth being wed by Barbossa before swinging over to the Dutchman to aid Jack. Jones stabs Will with a sword, but Jack and Elizabeth have Will stab Jones’ heart, killing Jones. Will dies, Jack and Elizabeth escaping the ''Dutchman'' as it is sucked into a maelstrom. As Beckett’s ship, the ''Endeavour'', approaches to destroy the ''Pearl'', the ''Dutchman'' rises, now captained by Will, and the crew free of Jones’ curse. Together, the two pirate ships destroy the ''Endeavour'', with a stunned Beckett going down with the ship while his army retreats. With Will now bound to escort souls lost at sea to the next world for ten years, Will and Elizabeth consummate their marriage before he departs on the ''Dutchman''. Later, Jack and Joshamee Gibbs discover Barbossa has stolen the ''Black Pearl'' again, but Jack planned ahead and cut out Sao Feng’s navigational charts, departing from Tortuga alone to track down the mythical Fountain of Youth to become immortal. Ten years later, Elizabeth and her son watch from a sea cliff as Will returns aboard the Dutchman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
