Caught the movie on TV a little while ago, but something about the end confused me. To those that have seen it:

Spoiler:
Did you interpret Will's service as the new captain of the Flying Dutchman as allowing him only one day ashore every ten years for the rest of time, or his service as captain permanently ending after ten years? The movie was a bit vague, but I interpreted it as the latter.

I think someone said the latter is what was intended, but they certainly didn't make it clear due to deleted scenes, apparently. From the wiki entry:

Quote:
Some confusion among fans was regarding the final scene, since there has been a major contradiction in the storyline when Will returns to Elizabeth ten years later: in the DVD commentary, the screenwriters state that because Elizabeth remained faithful to Will for the interim 10 years, and he fulfilled his duty to ferry souls to the next world, he is freed from the Flying Dutchman,[56] but the "Pirates Secrets Revealed" leaflet insert in the DVD release and dialogue in the film make it specifically clear that Will (or any captain of the Flying Dutchman for that matter) is bound forever to his duties and may only step on land once every ten years. However the validity of this leaflet is debatable, and cut scenes removed dialogue that would have explained Will's return in more detail.

Spoiler:
I took it as Will was now Captain forever, except for that one day every ten years.

Sounds like they maybe decided to make it ambiguous.

The latter interpretation is certainly the more preferable, especially since both Elizabeth and Will remained faithful to each of their duties.

Spoiler:
This was my take on it as well, one day on dry land every ten years.

Are spoilers really necessary for a movie that's like 3 years old?

No, which is why I didn't bother.

Someone paid a lot of money for those spoiler tags, and I'll be damned if I'm not going to help them get their money's worth.

:D
