they did norrington so right with the quiet, emotional but still restrained, "do not make the mistake of believing you are the only man here who cares for elizabeth"
#like. up until this point in the movie how has norrington been presented? on the crossing he's humorless and very buttoned-up#once elizabeth's grown up there's that conversation where her father makes reference to his hopes for the two of them getting together#she's deeply unenthused. now we have norrington as the unexciting but expected romantic prospect (vs. her immediate chemistry with will)#the promotion ceremony is formal but not terribly exciting. his proposal is awkward and uncompelling#he mistakes elizabeth's clear physical discomfort for nerves (and yeah. he's nervous too. but she's literally struggling to breathe)#he's not only dismissive of jack (arguably rightfully so. but at this point jack is clearly someone we're meant to root for)#he's quick to threaten hanging. he wholly overlooks any role will played in the capture (will who we're also clearly meant to root for)#all respect to the norrington girlies but at this point in the movie he's certainly not a hero or someone we're meant to sympathize with#and then elizabeth gets taken! and will storms in!! and he's all righteous anger over her capture#and norrington's response /doesn't seem good enough!! and we're with will who's clearly ready to do whatever it will take to save her#and then norrington's composure breaks and we get this banger line. of course he cares. of course he also cares for elizabeth#but he's commodore of the fort! unike will he doesn't get the luxury of letting those feelings drive him to the disregard of everything els#excellent character moment. we didn't deserve this movie every element absolutely rips the whole way through#kayla posts#pirates of the caribbean
