I agree. At first I was really pleased when Jonny Depp hopped back onto his ship and his crew was made up of people from all over the sea-faring world I thought “yay! Everybody can be grubby pirates-- what fun.” And so I was Double-ly disappointed when, of the Two hanging cages, the one with ALL the people of color got pitched into the ravine. Who picked those teams anyway? As for the “cannibals”: I was watching the movie thinking-- “wow-- It’s a good thing they totally made these people up, ‘cause otherwise Disney’ll have A LOT of apologies to make” But I guess it’s not just the book-learning’ I’m short on-- I also seem to be unable to learn that Disney will ALWAYS screw up history and insist on being Dickheads about other cultures in the process. Besides all of that-- which is only to be expected when watching a disney blockbuster-- I had a great time watching the movie. I can't wait to see what culture they decided to misrepresent in the third one: The 'END OF THE WORLD' oooooooo-- VIkings maybe?
