Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The movie gets a lot of flak for the scenes with the island natives being this, even though the writers wrote it with the intention of showing that Jack wasn't safe anywhere he went, be that on land or water. Some like their culture and find it a really fun part of the movie, while others think they take too much time of the main plot and are at the end superfluous to the main plot and wish their part were shorter (20 minutes to be exact) and too goofy to be taken seriously, and some like the Pelegostos but feel like they belong to a completely different movie. Base-Breaking Character: The Pelegostos Tribe.Did the jar of dirt really give Jack any form of protection against Davy Jones, and if so, what kind and how? Or was it no help at all and Tia Dalma was just screwing with him?.And on that note, Tia Dalma insinuates that the compass can give false directions if the holder knows what they want, but are adverse to the idea of actually claiming it. When Jack returned to help the others after fleeing the Black Pearl to escape the Kraken, why did he do it? Was it because he really had found his shred of nobility and decency and couldn't abandon them to their fate? Because he wanted to save a specific person (Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs)? To save the Black Pearl herself? Or did he simply decide to stop running and Face Death with Dignity? He checks his compass before heading back, but the viewer never sees where it points, so any influence it could have played on Jack's decision is up to speculation: perhaps it pointed to land to show he really did want to survive, but he decided to ignore it.Did Jack really mean it when he offers Davy Jones Will Turner in exchange for himself to serve him, or was it just an attempt to get Jones off his back so he can go back to looking for the Dead Man's Chest and use it as leverage to force Jones to free both of them? Likewise, was he actually trying to get 100 souls to trade to Jones to free himself, or was he just recruiting a new crew and kept track of how many he had as a back-up? Considering this is Jack we're talking about though, none of these options are mutually exclusive.
