Keira Knightley & Geoffrey Rush in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is chef’s kiss
Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush share a brilliant moment in The Curse of the Black Pearl. Elizabeth may be surrounded by pirates, but she walks onto the Black Pearl with remarkable confidence and knows exactly what Barbossa wants.
Geoffrey Rush’s Barbossa is intimidating, theatrical and just a little bit ridiculous, while Knightley gives Elizabeth the determination that makes her much more than a damsel in distress.
It’s one of those scenes that immediately establishes the personalities and the power struggle that make the first Pirates movie so much fun.
