Keira Knightley is a name that was starting to create a buzz among film lovers due to her acting in the delightful Bend It Like Beckham, but it was the role in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl that made her a star. That’s why in a recent interview for Harper’s Bazaar Knightly reported that working in the Pirates franchise including Johnny Depp did not feel “comfortable” for her.
She was still underage, only 17, when she started working on the picture directed by Gore Verbinski. “Other than slaving into bowing over a corset, it was a whole entry into adult life, an extreme landing due to the experience of fame at a very young age,” she says about her career shifts.
Critique on Unrealistic Portrayal of Gender Roles
The actress did not spare her critics about her sexualized depiction as Elizabeth Swann in the pirates:
“Everyone wanted to shag Elizabeth Swann owing to her attitude. Not that she isn’t very fiery herself. But to make the switch from a tomboy to a tomboy projected as the polar opposite was fascinating. I was constricted, and very very confined. So the parts that I accepted later on were about filing the roots of that. At that time, for some reason, I could not define it. I was stuck in something that I did not even understand myself.”
“I Was Never Good Enough”
Knightley was left with a significant amount of pressure in her hands and it made her think that she was always a failure. She went through a tough routine that caused stress. “I was quite ruthless with myself. It was hard to feel that I was ever good enough. There was total commitment, drive and focus.”
. Appreciating the value of self-improvement and understanding that there’s always room for getting better is right, however, it’s a tedious way of living.”
She added, “I fact I’m ici b el bi b ed a n you’n h at’ I crould nj bk ’s a bit n see wh wehn I n he h nt the people in her ns mm It w ad told me n intek to her. Similar challenges accompanied it sangunnel angere.”
Exit from the Franchise
Knightly explained that continued Pirates series, which began with an appearance of her character called Elizabeth Swann, ended for her after *At World’s End. This franchise gained immense popularity and in its middle some of the cast lost appetite against it. Well, fortunately, has managed to find some extension and finished a huge part of the exploited plot that had originated in that movie. Yet, there are rumors circulating that jack sparrow is about to make a comeback as that he is going a drawing of himself as jack sparrow in sixth movie. Yet it is hard to tell whether this popularity means they would enjoy this younger generation coming back to the idea or will slaughter it completely.
