The image of the legendary pirate
Johnny Depp (the same actor who played the role of Jack Sparrow) specially for the filming of the film grew a beard, braided in two neat pigtails, and a mustache in the Spanish manner. Long hair in numerous braids is decorated with beads and feathers. A cocked hat flaunts on its head, from under which a spectacular dark red bandana is visible. The strange headdress is completed by a deer bone tied to the right of the hat. Thickly let down antimony eyes look inquiringly and insolently.
Jack Sparrow belongs to the shocking many categories of people. Who plays with fate and is not afraid of risk? Jack. If he takes risks, then he puts everything at stake. Brilliant and insane pirate. Sometimes it seems that all his actions are devoid of common sense - he is guided by a compass that does not point to the north, wears his mother’s dried head on his belt, which prettyly shockes others.
The captain’s belt has several belts and a sword belt. Of the weapons, Jack prefers a saber, but sometimes uses a sword. Despite the fact that he has excellent command of knives, there are two pistols behind the brave pirate’s belt, one of which is loaded with a bullet intended for only one person.
The gait deserves special attention. Sparrow moves softly, as if dancing, desperately helping himself with his hands. Despite the apparent negligence, all his movements are clearly calibrated and accurate. Jack is an incredibly emotional character who frantically gestures while talking. But the most important feature of the character, conquering numerous ladies, is his radiant smile.
Charming Jack Sparrow. Who plays the villain and the villain, remaining faithful to the laws of the pirate code? Johnny Depp, who became famous after the release of the picture.

You can consider a pirate to be an arrogant and dishonorable liar, deprived of nobility. But his soul is carefully hidden from everyone under the guise of malicious sarcasm. The captain is characterized by egoism, but this does not prevent him with all his heart from loving the sea, freedom and the "Black Pearl". Few can discern the depths of his soul, but once they have seen him present, they remain faithful and devoted friends. He is smart and quirky, able to get involved in the most difficult situation.
