Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film.

Il film racconta con estremo realismo in tutta la prima parte (e oltre) l'incredibile confusione mentale a cui e' pervenuta la societa' moderna, libera finalmente dai tabu' sessuali e dal giogo delle proibizioni, ma esposta molto piu' di prima alla impreparazione nella vita di relazione.
Soprattutto per la vita di coppia e' inevitabile il sapersi adeguare alle situazioni di compromesso, se non proprio di rinuncia, se si vuole pervenire ad una esistenza che, pur nella ricerca della felicita' completa, possa dare almeno un buon grado di serenita'.
