I take it from all the other women I know that you are a Jack lover? I mean, come on. What woman wouldn’t love him?

As for the film not depicting Singapore correctly. I agree. It had more of a Hong Kong feel than a Singapore feel.

And I also agree the music, the cinematography and the editing was very powerful and what makes these film so grand.

In fact, standing at a foreigner’s point of view, I feel that “welcome to Singapore” is indeed a credit to Singapore. We all know it’s just a fake story, so let’s put aside the history. It’s a miracle that Singapore developed from maybe a fishing village to an amazing modern city, for which, she deserves a fancy story.

Ethan: Haha… yeah, I think it would have been better to name it Hong Kong. But then again, I think during those days, Singapore was a more popular port, therefore attracted more pirates, so it’s at least a bit historically accurate?

I think ang mohs look very cute in Chinese costumes. ;)

Madly agree with Shae, that the script was terriblly done.
The 1st part is the worst part, which showed loose or even no connection with subsequent happenings, followed by the part where Jack was alone mumbling to himself at the so-called end of the world.
But I feel Elizabeth looks veli veli cantic when she is in the costume prepared by Shao Feng.

They made Singapore a glamorous pirates’ village, which never had happened in reality. Why didn’t the director just name it Hongkong! I guess they didn’t expect that this little effort for Singapore wouldn’t be appreciated by poreans.
