“Strangers sometimes say that I’m not a real pirate. Yes, I don’t live by robbery and blood - and that’s the truth they say.”
© M. Shcherbakov.

A romantic pirate should be genuine - this is how Captain Sparrow is shown. We are never shown him behind a bloody robbery. Among his exploits was the capture of the port of Nassau without firing a shot. Throughout all five films, he does anything - except, in fact, piracy.

From the soles of his frayed boots to the last dreadlock, Jack is the quintessence of romanticism. He is the “salt of the earth” - or rather, the sea. If the salt loses its strength, then the ocean will no longer be an ocean. As Gibbs said in the second part, “He managed to deceive us until the last hour, but without him the world somehow dimmed.”

The symbolism of the name Jack Sparrow (Sparrow) is quite obvious. Jack in English language also simply means “guy.” Every man jack - every person, anyone and everyone. In addition, jack means “sailor”, as well as “jack of cards”, and also money. To make jack - “to make good money.” In nautical slang, jack means “flag.” jack's land is a “no man's” area on a ship that is not under anyone’s control. Also, jack’s land is also a strip of fog on the horizon, mistakenly taken for land. In a word, you won’t find a more suitable name for a character who is the quintessence of pirate and sea romance for a hundred years.

As for the nickname-surname, the sparrow is a bad, un-naval-tight knot: “Officers and boatswains scolded the sailors who noticed disorder: some had a belt that grabbed the stomach rather than the chest, others had lower waist straps dangling, others tied the ends of the straps are not tied with a sea knot, but with a “sparrow”.
(Magdalinsky A.V. “At the crossroads of the sea. Notes of a participant in the Battle of Tsushima.” - Yaroslavl, 1954). I immediately remember a quote from the film: “Sailor Sparrow, how do you think this sheet is secured?!”

And in English, if you believe the books, in the old days “sparrow” was the name given to a small coin that was given as a tip, and to ladies who would agree to do a lot for such a coin, and also to ostentatious losers (such as “penny cutters”).

Jack's last name was originally swallow. This surname left a tattoo on Jack’s hand, by which Norrington identified him - an image of a swallow. I don’t know exactly for what reasons Jack was renamed - I suspect that the play on words (swallow - not only “swallow”, but also “sip, swallow, swallow”, as well as “gluttony”) seemed too risky to Bruckheimer.

In the Foreword to Jerry Bruckheimer: When Lightening Strikes, Four Decades of Filmmaking. Johnny Depp calls Jerry Bruckheimer his “dear friend” and speaks of his endless trust in him. Such a warm relationship between the actor and producer arose and strengthened over more than 10 years of collaboration on Pirates of the Caribbean.

The role of Captain Jack Sparrow has become one of the iconic roles in the work of Johnny Depp, and this is largely due to Jerry Bruckheimer - it was he who conceived the character as such and decided to find a truly special actor for this role.

“Depp is phenomenal. When I started making Pirates, I felt that the film needed to be presented to the audience as something different from everything else. Johnny would never have acted in a commercial film, but I was able to get him and do Pirates - and look what happened in the end!” says Bruckheimer.

According to Bruckheimer, the secret to the commercial success of his films lies in himself. “I don’t know what the public wants, I never knew. But I always knew what I liked and did it.” Note that in total, Bruckheimer's films have earned more than $15 billion worldwide. The second and third parts of “Pirates of the Caribbean” collected more than 1 billion at the box office each.

Johnny Depp about his acceptance of the role of Jack.
London, 2002.
I don’t even know what made me accept the offer to star in a blockbuster. I probably felt in my gut: this is it! I met with the Disney guys and they initially offered me another script, which I turned down. Thanks to my daughter, she was only three years old at the time, and I watched with her all the Disney cartoons that I could find. So I told the people at Disney that I would like to do a voice-over for a children's film. Suddenly they asked: “Have you been to Disneyland or any other amusement park? So, we are planning to make a full-length film based on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.” I immediately declared: “I am for it.” Just like that, without hesitation. My agent was sitting next to me, she was in shock. Why, I didn’t expect anything like this from myself. I still don't understand why I said yes. I didn't think at all that I had to star in a commercially successful film; I never knew how to foresee such things. Until the very start of filming, everyone, including almost the guys from Disney themselves, believed that the film would be a failure. But even then, when I was asked to sign permission to have my portrait printed on boxes of breakfast cereal, I didn't feel like I was a person who had compromised. On the contrary, I felt as if I had sneaked into the enemy's camp and planted my flag in its center. My friends were saying, “Oh my God! You're killing yourself!" And I answered: “Nothing like that! This is such self-provocation."

Penny Rose, costume designer:
“I knew Johnny thought about Keith Richards, but he asked me to keep it a secret.”

Penny Rose is a British designer, she was responsible for Jack Sparrow's costumes in four parts of Pirates of the Caribbean.

© “I have to give 98 percent of the credit for the costume to Johnny Depp.<...>He came with the image of Jack already in his head, as is the case with all his characters. When we first met to discuss Sparrow, he said he wanted to be a “rock and roll” pirate. When I asked if he had someone specific in mind, he said yes, but he would never say who it was. But when he stood there in his whistling doublet and wig, and began to walk and talk, I realized - Keith Richards. But he forced me to keep it a secret and we were the only ones who knew the secret for three months.

Johnny is an instinctive, visually driven actor. He can spend only 5 minutes trying on and stops immediately when he decides that he has found what he needs. But over the 10 years of our collaboration, I have learned to anticipate him quite quickly, so I give him several forms to work with and the suit is born quickly.

Since we were filming in the Caribbean, I wanted to keep the costume light, but I didn't succeed. These 18th century costumes can only be layered, otherwise you end up with someone looking like Errol Flynn in a pair of breeches and a shirt. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a comedy of costume, and therefore I always start with authentic materials, fabrics, patterns. But Johnny is a cheeky bastard and he always comes up with ideas. At one point he added a shrunken head because he saw it on my desk and decided it would be his mother.

Now there is not a single child on earth who does not love Jack Sparrow. I see little copies of him everywhere."

Rings:
Another important decoration for Jack is his rings. In the movie On Stranger Tides, the pirate wears four rings. One per right hand and three on the left. Two rings belong to actor Johnny Depp.

1 – Skull Ring, 2 – Dragon Ring, 3 – Stolen Ring, 4 – Flower Ring

1) silver ring with a skull and a green emerald on the index finger of his right hand, bought by Johnny Depp in 1989. He can be seen wearing this ring on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in 1989.
As Johnny Depp recalls: “I was in a dark antique store and saw this ring, probably somewhere in the 80s. This is a small antique ring with a skull on each side, decorated green stone, obviously not of any value. Just a carnival thing. The ring itself has power, I didn’t look for it and bought it for virtually nothing. I wore it for the first time when they gave me the Rolling Stone cover in '91. Now they sell plastic reproductions of the thing. Look at the Captain Jack doll - and he has this ring."
2) A silver ring with green jade and a dragon image, worn on the left thumb. It is a prop for the film. According to legend, Jack received this ring in the Far East and it is memorable.
3) Golden ring With purple amethyst on the index finger of the left hand. The second ring, which belonged to the actor, is a copy of a ring from the Greco-Roman period. It was later stolen from the set, and therefore a copy of it was made for filming even later.
4) Gold ring with onyx engraved with a Spanish flower and three small precious stones, is located on the ring finger of the left hand. Johnny Depp made up a little story about Jack taking the ring as a trophy from a Spanish widow after he seduced her.
During the filming of all the films about the adventures of pirates in the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow changed the number of rings on his fingers three times. In the movie The Curse of the Black Pearl, the pirate wears one ring with a skull. For the first half of the second film, Dead Man's Chest, Jack wears three rings: one with a skull on his right index finger, a dragon ring on his left index finger, and a flower ring on his left ring finger. Later in the episode where Jack visits the hut of the witch Tia Dalma, he notices a certain ring on the table near the medallion. Jack takes it for himself, putting it on the index finger of his left hand, and the pirate puts the dragon ring he had previously put on on it. thumb. As a result, there are four rings.

And here is the same Herb Ritz photo shoot from 1991, where Jack's ring first appears.

Scene with the theft of the ring from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

Since the third film, “At the End of the World,” is a logical continuation of the second, the number of rings on the fingers and their location does not change. The situation will change only in the second half of the fourth film, On Stranger Tides. If at first there are four rings on Jack's fingers, then soon everything changes. After Sparrow gets onto the ship Queen Anne's Revenge, only three rings can be counted on his fingers. The gold that Jack stole from Tia Dalma in Dead Man's Chest is missing. According to the visual guide to the film "On Stranger Tides" (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: The Visual Guide), the ring has its own romantic history. A long time ago, Jack gave this ring to Angelica during their romantic relationship. Later, after a quarrel between the lovers, Angelica sold this ring to the sorceress Tia Dalma in order to find out about a certain pagan ritual, which you need to do to take advantage of the fountain of youth. When Jack sees the witch's ring, he decides to steal it from her. Then, meeting again with his former lover, the pirate decides to return the ring to her. This scene was not included in the final cut of the film, and the ring is only glimpsed during Jack and Angelique's conversation on the deck of the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Still from a deleted scene from the film On Stranger Tides.

The deleted scene begins with Jack looking at the ring while on deck. Seeing Angelica, he hides the ring in his hair, catching it at the same time from his jewelry. After exchanging memories of the past and a little dance between the former lovers, Jack takes out a ring from his hair and shows it to Angelique.

Angelique tells Jack what happened to the ring and why she sold it. Jack puts it on Angelica's finger. For the rest of the film, Jack wears three rings.

Cloth:
Being a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow gravitates towards a social lifestyle not only by spending time in brothels with girls and drinking, but also by appearance. Jack wears the fashions of his time and strives to decorate his clothes with a variety of trophies. The character's clothes from the film are pretty shabby, dirty and torn in places.

Cocked hat:
Jack's favorite headdress is the military cocked hat, which came into fashion among ordinary people in the second half of the seventeenth (XVII) century. In this case, according to color combination it is matched to the frock coat. The original cocked hat is made of leather.

Everyone knows that one of the most important symbols of Captain Jack Sparrow is his hat.
However, not everyone knows how the Captain got this hat.
According to legend, Jack got it through honest piracy. But he didn’t steal it, no! He bought it! Bought with stolen money
He spent one of the first two coins he “earned” on this hat when he started piracy (the second coin hung on his bandana in a strand of beads called “pesos.” However, in the fifth part of “Pirates of the Caribbean” a completely different story is told , I will make a separate post about the costume from the fifth film.

There are no hats left after the first part of “Pirates” either. The designers had to turn directly to the Roman milliners Pironi, who still had the patterns. In the second film, the hat falls into the water, so the first thing we had to do was sew cocked hats out of rubber. Thus, the prop masters ended up with a set of rubber, non-sinking hats. Johnny's hat is made of leather. This is impregnated, rubberized leather. When Johnny came to Penny Rose to look at the hats, she had six of them for Jack. She laid out the hats on the floor and invited Johnny to choose. He walked right up to this leather one, put it on his head and said, “Here is my hat.” Rose suggested, “Try on the others.” But Johnny replied: “No. Here's my hat." There are 8,000 costumes in the film, and Rose didn't allow anyone else to wear the leather hat, Penny's own admission was only because Johnny chose it first.

For the film, these hats were made by a theater workshop located in Italy.
You can even contact them and order such a hat! The only thing is that they are very busy, so it will take them a long time to do it. But then they will age it themselves, and it will look as if a pirate had been sailing the ocean for years and just took it off, in short, they will make it exactly like Captain Sparrow’s in the film!
Oh yes, they will ask for almost a thousand euros for all this.

Frock coat:
Throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Jack wears a tweed frock coat similar to those worn by important persons in the eighteenth (18th) century. The one Johnny Depp wears in the film is already worn and dirty in places.

A jacket, a frock coat, a camisole... It doesn’t matter what they call it. What is known about this item of Captain Sparrow's wardrobe?
"Official" information: "this is coat fabric." Not true. In fact, it is furniture "upholstery" fabric.
The second is “this is linen, silk, tweed.” And here is a deception, in fact it is 55% cotton and 45% polyester.

The third is a “light tweed jacket”. Well, the fact that this is not tweed is already clear. Regarding “lightness”... if we are talking about the fact that it is of the “summer” type, and therefore “light”, then of course one could argue, but if we are talking about the weight of the product, then it is not light at all, it's heavy!

And a bit more additional information: for a frock coat this fabric is used on the reverse side. The fabric manufacturer is Lewis and Sheron, which is located in Atlanta, Georgia. original name fabric Raffia Ebony 903. The frock coat itself (as well as the rest of the costume details) was sewn in London, at Cosprop.

Vest:
Unlike the previous three pirate films, Jack's old blue vest was retired in the fourth. Johnny Depp suggested that Jack probably threw away the old vest because he couldn't stand the stench. Then he stole new clothes from someone in a tavern.

Jack is belted with a long sash with dark purple stripes along it. It is tied on the left side and draped over the top belt and sling.

There are no costumes left from Pirates 1. Not a single Jack Sparrow costume has survived. There was a gap of two years between the first and second and third films, and problems immediately arose. How can I find everything again? The biggest and most difficult problem, oddly enough, turned out to be the sash. That piece of striped fabric on Jack's belt that we see in the second and third episodes looks completely different than in the first. The material for it was woven by peasants in the mountains of Turkey. Costume designer Penny Rose originally ordered 45 meters for Jack's costume. But she didn’t know where these people were, or who they were. The agent could not be found. I had to send one of Rose’s assistants to Turkey and he found these people. They wove another 100 meters especially for Jack's costume. But then another problem arose: the way this fabric hung on Jack and fluttered. The fabric sent was very bright, which did not really fit with the image of a pirate captain. But the designer managed to preserve the spirit of Jack Sparrow, skillfully fraying the sash and giving it a well-worn look.

Shirt:
Jack wears the so-called poet's shirt, or pirate shirt. Similar shirts have been worn by men since the seventeenth (17th) century. Basically, it was either a nightgown for noble people, or a work shirt. In the nineteenth (XIX) century, such things were worn by young men more as a tribute to fashion. In the twentieth century (XX), the shirt became a symbol of historical cinema. It is used as an attribute symbolizing the end of the late Middle Ages and the beginning of modern times. On this moment Thanks to Hollywood cinema, the shirt is associated mainly with knights and pirates.

Of all the remains of Jack's costume from the first part of "Pirates", only the shirt survived, but it was no longer included in the frame. The fabric on it was too thin and wouldn't hold up to the tricks. For Jack Penny's new shirt, Rose chose linen, which is also thin, but much stronger. To achieve the “pirate” look, I had to do quite a lot of work changing the color and making small holes here and there. Making natural fringe is an art. All 12 shirts were hemmed by hand. 12 – this is taking into account Johnny, the stuntmen, the photo double and anyone else who might need the image of Jack. It's always very difficult with Johnny. He likes to wear one thing at a time. If he has already put on shirt No. 1 and suddenly gets wet in it, then we have to persuade him to wear No. 2, but he only wants to be in the first one.

The style of breeches, like Jack's, appeared approximately in the eighteenth (18th) century. Such shortened trousers were widespread in Europe among ordinary people from the beginning of the sixteenth (16th) century.

If you carefully look at how Jack's breeches are fastened in the film, you can pay attention to one little thing. The original has button closures on the waistband.

Boots:
Tall suede boots Brown with a mustard tint and a rolled-up boot, they keep pace with Jack from film to film. A Canadian company is engaged in sewing boots for Johnny Depp, and they make these boots in their workshop in Mexico.

A total of 12 pairs of shoes were made for Jack. But Johnny only wanted to wear his favorite pair, and when his boots got wet, he had to be persuaded to change them, which he did not always happily do. When the dressers were exhausted from fighting it, they made holes in the boots so that the water would immediately pour out of them, and they could walk freely in the water. Another pair was made without soles and without heels. These boots were used mainly in the scene of Jack's battle with Turner and Norrington in the second part, when he literally had to run on water.

Armbands:
Jack Sparrow has a black bandage with white stripes on his right arm. Or rather, at one time the stripes were probably red or pink, but over time they faded, as can be seen from the remains of dull paint. She helps the pirate cover up his pirate mark.

Jack wears antique lace on his left arm. Back in the second part of “Dead Man’s Chest,” a legend was invented for this decoration that Jack kept a piece of the dress for himself ex-lover as a trophy. In the movie On Stranger Tides, it is revealed that this lace is connected to Jack and Angelica's romance.

Jack prefers to wear a shoulder sling for his saber. The leather strap and buckle feature patterns. The scabbard mount is held on by several flower-shaped metal buttons.

Cutlass:

In all the films, Jack Sparrow's bladed weapons mostly do not change, no matter what happens to him. This time the pirate was lucky, because after he was disarmed and taken to the palace of King George II, Jack managed to free himself and escape.

On the way, running past the guards, one of the simple guards chased the pirate and casually put a saber and two pistols on the table. Jack pocketed the entire set. The moment, roughly speaking, is confusing both from the point of view of logic and from the point of view of plot development. That is, the guard could have walked with Jack's weapon in order to put it in the arsenal, but the pirate distracted him so that the guard chased him and put the weapon on the table behind which Jack was hiding.

Jack's saber looks like a typical cutlass with a slightly curved blade, a developed guard, a small handle and an oval pommel. The saber has a real prototype. Such weapons date back to the 40s of the eighteenth (XVIII) century.

Jack Sparrow's saber was bought for the first film. Chuck Stewart and Peter Cohen, assistant directors, were in London and went to the Blunderbass Antiques store, where they actually found this saber. A beautiful example from 1740. In general, hundreds of swords were ordered from a gunsmith in Los Angeles for the film, but of all the swords, Johnny’s is the best. It is perfectly balanced. Heavy handle and very fast blade. Johnny has a special relationship with Jack's sword.

Tsantsa:
The dried head of Jack's mother is tied to the sling. He received it from his father in the third pirate movie, after which he prefers to carry it with him. Such decorations are called tsantsa. This trophy was popular among South American Indians. They cut off the heads of their enemies, pulled the skin from the skull, and then special methods dried it to the size of an adult's fist, while maintaining facial features.

The reason why Captain Teague made his wife a tsantsa is not clear. But most likely, this was done in order to carry the image with you ex-wife, since Tsantsa is lightweight and allows you to preserve a person’s facial features. Although the pirate could have limited himself to a simple medal with a small portrait (which is probably not so interesting from his point of view).

P.S. Or Captain Teague's wife was also that little thing and a witch, and became not only a wife, but also an enemy... who knows.

Belts:
Jack wears two leather belts, one beige and one dark brown. Both are decorated with large buckles with openwork patterns.

Johnny simply fell in love with the large carved buckle that designer Penny Rose showed him when demonstrating accessories. Penny was sure that this buckle did not fit the belt, but Johnny, as always, found a way out of a controversial situation by convincing Rose to put both belts on him.

Once upon a time, somewhere in London, Disney costume designers bought a cheap belt with a large plastic buckle... It was sold as a “Santa Claus belt”.
In the first film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, there is a character - Captain Anna Maria (yes, this is the one who slapped Jack in the face for simply requisitioning her brig without asking). So, she wore a belt with this very buckle. Unfortunately, Anna Maria did not appear in subsequent films, but... in some unknown way, Jack got a belt with this buckle! Now the question to think about is what happened to Anna Maria and how did Jack get her buckle?
On this buckle hang amulets for good luck: a bone from the spine of a rattlesnake, a “little mermaid with a pearl” netsuke, and a mummified chicken foot, and most importantly, a compass is attached to this belt.
This buckle's design changed in the fourth film.

The same buckle on Captain Jack Sparrow's belt.

As you can see, Jack has a brown insert on his light belt. There is no such belt insert in the film On Stranger Tides. But this detail matches the belt from light skin is in the two previous parts of the film “Dead Man's Chest” and “At World's End”.

Trophies and amulets:
Jack not only decorates his clothes with various finds, but also his belts. For example, on the beige belt on the right, the pirate has a small skin of some small animal. Jack probably believes it brings good luck. Johnny Depp even joked about fur, which looked more like Jack ate some kind of cat.
By the way, most likely, this skin is a trap for fleas, which have been common since the Middle Ages. Elegant ladies (and also gentlemen) in the XV-XVIII centuries. They wore various “flea traps” under their clothes. Apparently the most effective was a trap made from the finely dressed fur of a small animal; it resembled the body of an animal in shape and was attached to the head of often expensive jewelry work. The trap was placed on a chain around the neck. Fleas got into the fur, and during the evening toilet it was convenient to catch them.

“Flea fur” has become widespread - a piece of fur worn on the arm or near the neck, where, according to medieval ladies, fleas had to be collected, and from where they could then be shaken out somewhere on the ground. Best gift lovers and spouses - stuffed fur-bearing animals for the same purposes. The stuffed animals were encrusted with precious stones. Paintings like “Lady with an Ermine” (only it’s not an ermine, but a white ferret - furo) or “Queen Elizabeth I with an Ermine” depict stuffed animals or animals used as flea fur.
They were carried with them, just as ladies later carried decorative dogs.
In addition to dogs, weasels were also kept, just for catching fleas. Since the 16th century, martens, ferrets, stoats and tiny dogs served their owners as living flea traps, protecting them from annoying insects. The small animal has a higher body temperature than a human and, unlike the lady, it catches fleas all the time and with its teeth.

There are also other types of traps preserved in museum collections - much more complex and, obviously, unlikely to have much effect.
There was, for example, a trap in the form of a roller, carved from ivory, richly decorated and equipped with many small holes. A peg smeared with blood was placed into the roller, serving as bait. Another model of such a trap, made of wood, dates back to 1709. The inner peg has a slot; a piece of wool soaked in honey or syrup was placed in it to attract fleas. Apparently, roller-shaped traps were not an original invention of Europeans: similar traps made of bamboo were used back in Ancient China.

A chicken foot is tied to the buckle. Johnny Depp is sure that any person will find a connection in this symbol with voodoo witchcraft, or with protection from various damages. But the actor himself thinks that after Jack ate the chicken, he simply liked the shape of the paw, after which he tied it to his buckle.

On the second rope, two small things are tied to the buckle. The first is a bone from the spine of a rattlesnake, and the second is a small figurine of a mermaid with a pearl (netsuke).

Pistols:
In all previous Pirates of the Caribbean films, Jack also has a firearm. In the fourth film, these are two pistols with a flintlock.

The pistol is signed on the right and top of the barrel. This is a real pistol in working condition, purchased specifically for the film by props master Chuck Stewart. For many scenes, a copy was made of it.

The first one is already quite well-known to fans, having appeared in three previous films. This flintlock pistol was made in the 1760s by a gunsmith named Perry London. But there was also a difficulty in this. When purchasing such antiques, it is always difficult to find a match for it. Many things from the filming of the first film have not survived. But Captain Sparrow was lucky: his pistol and sword remained completely intact. A rubber version was made especially for extreme filming - an exact copy of a genuine pistol. All this was done to protect Johnny from injury.

But he is quite stubborn in this sense and in most cases he preferred the antique version, and the rubber one went to the stuntmen. Jack's pistol is very convenient. Once you take it in your hand, you immediately feel the balance. The small handle fits very comfortably. In addition, it is very elegant in appearance. Gore Verbinski always prefers simplicity. He doesn't like big, flashy, flashy things unless he has to. Nine out of ten times, the prop he chooses will be simple and beautiful.

The second pistol, with a muzzle in the shape of a cannon barrel, made its debut in Jack's small arsenal. More often it is called a “gun with a cannon-shaped barrel”; the popular name “Queen Anne pistol” is common.

This type of weapon came into fashion in the eighteenth (XVIII) century due to its small shape, which made it convenient to carry in a pocket or a special case.

The right side of the pistol and the upper part of the barrel are signed by the author, as in the original.
The photo shows an exhibit from Master Replicas. This is a replica of the pistol that was purchased for the filming of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean". Although for the most part the film is based on a copy of the original made for filming.
The pistol is signed on the right and top of the barrel. This is a real pistol in working condition, purchased specifically for the filming of the film. For many scenes, a copy was made of it.

For the most part in the fourth film, Jack does not use pistols, but constantly carries them tucked into his belt and sash. If you look at these pistols, you will notice that they are both made of plastic or rubber. You can notice the rough paint job, the lack of a signature on the right side and most likely on the top, as well as seams like two plastic parts glued together along Jack's main gun.

Compass:
When it comes to notable props, it's undoubtedly Jack's compass. He is the driving force behind the films. Jack received his magical compass from the witch Tia Dalma. This is not an ordinary compass, since it points to where its owner wants to go with all his heart, but does not know the exact direction. The compass looks old and shabby, apparently made of wood and painted.

For the second and third parts of the trilogy, the compass was not changed. Critics and fans of the film may have noticed that in the sequel it is not exactly the same as in the first film. The scale has changed. In Pirates 1, there was no red arrow on it, and the director of the film, Gore Verbinski, decided that something needed to be added to this such a significant item. It had to be clearly distinguishable and catchy. So they touched it up a bit and changed the compass rose. Another mystery of the film is how the arrow manages to rotate so quickly when necessary. To achieve this effect, many options have been tried. We tried placing a magnet on our finger. You twist it and the rose points in a certain direction. There was another option with drilled holes and film, and a wheel hidden on the side. The person behind the scenes pulled the line and the compass rose rotated.

I've run out of wigs for my son. We made it together, Kirill helped as much as he could. The photo is not very good, but it’s already evening and there’s not enough light.

The same wig would be suitable for Granny Hedgehog

back view

The wig was made from nylon tights. It took 4 pairs of black tights without lycra, the cheapest ones. Kirill cut the tights into pieces crosswise, then stretched them and the piece was twisted into a long ring - a lace. I cut the rings and got flagella. Worked next to me for several hours)))
I made the base of the wig from a wide black elastic band - a ring - the circumference of the head is the middle of the forehead, the middle of the ear, the back of the head. Then I sewed the crossbar from ear to ear. And the transverse forehead-occiput. To prevent the wig from slipping. Then I simply sewed the flagella in a circle. I pinned a bandana on top in several places.

Kirill sculpted beads from salt dough on toothpicks. Dried on a wire rack in the oven. Everything would be fine, but they realized the mistake when they began to remove the beads and they were stuck dead to the tree. If they had been molded on a knitting needle from the beginning, they would have come off easier.
Then Kirill painted the beads with felt-tip pens. Coin made of cardboard covered with foil

The first film about Pirates of the Caribbean aroused great interest among viewers. Thousands of children, and adults, began to look forward to the next parts of this film story about the adventures of brave robbers, the most charming of whom was recognized as Jack Sparrow.

How to make a Jack Sparrow costume with your own hands

Making a carnival outfit begins with cutting out a bandana from a red chiffon cut around the child’s head, the edges of which need to be processed with an overlocker or a regular zigzag on a sewing machine.

• a shirt with high cuffs and wide sleeves is sewn from satin;
• from fabric imitating leather or suede they cut out the simplest style;
• sew the parts together;
• they make long leggings from fabric in the color of the shoes - so that, putting them on together and turning away the “tops”, you get something like over the knee boots;
• Ordinary “pajama” trousers with elastic are sewn from velvet fabric;
• If there is a ready-made wig, then do not attach beads to it and braid it.

The problem of the hairstyle with which your “Jack Sparrow” should appear at the matinee (the costume without it will be incomplete) can be solved in another way by sewing braids woven from thick black yarn onto a bandana.

Making a Captain Jack costume from scrap materials

When preparing your child for the carnival, you can do without any financial costs at all. In order to make a Jack Sparrow costume (for children) from scrap materials, you will need:

• old (brown) and red colors;
• White shirt;
• old jacket;
• jacket or raincoat made of leather or leatherette;
• old Felt hat(if there is);
• any dark-colored trousers;
• boots, preferably with high tops.

Work order

To make a Jack Sparrow costume (for children), you need to make:

• Bandana and hairstyle.

Take old red and black (brown) T-shirts. From the first, a large triangular piece is cut out for a bandana. The second is cut into thin strips. Sew them to a bandana and braid them in threes to make braids. Decorate the “hairstyle” with beads.

• A shirt.

To make this important item of a pirate's wardrobe, a father's or mother's white shirt is suitable if it has long sleeves. To give it the desired look, you can either sew lace or flounce to its cuff, or secure it higher than the usual position. It is also worth decorating the shirt collar. The same lace works well for this.

• Vest.

You can sew it from an old jacket by cutting off the sleeves and sewing on large shiny metal buttons and pockets.

You can sew it yourself or give the appropriate look to an old hat. To do this, 3 fragments are cut out for the boy. They are then glued onto the hat. If the headdress has wide brims, they can be secured to the crown to form a cocked hat. You can stick a picture of the Jolly Roger cut out of paper onto your hat.

• Trousers.

Here you can get by with any dark-colored pants, preferably without creases.

• Over the knee boots.

2 trapezoids are cut out from a piece of leatherette and each piece is sewn on the side. The resulting bells are secured to the boot top. Shoes are decorated with large shiny buckles.

• Belt.

In the film, Jack Sparrow wore a long white sash with thin red stripes. It can be made from a piece of fabric or a suitable long scarf.

• Accessories.

First of all, you will need 2 or 3 leather belts, which you need to put on top of the scarf, and another one to throw over your shoulder, like a sword belt.

In addition, Jack Sparrow, whose costume is easy to make yourself, loved all sorts of “trinkets.” Therefore it is worth choosing leather laces and baubles, as well as rings with skulls and small multi-colored beads or a “necklace” of coins and keys.

You will also need a sword or saber.

• Wig.

If your son wants to look exactly like Jack Sparrow at the party, the costume will need to be complemented with a wig as similar as possible and appropriate makeup done. For example, you can get a very natural “hairstyle” if you use black nylon tights (4 pairs). They are cut into pieces crosswise and stretched to form twisted ring laces. Then they are cut and flagella are obtained. When the “strands” are ready, the base is made. To do this, use a wide black elastic band and sew crossbars from one ear to the other, plus one transverse one - from the forehead to the back of the head. Then the flagella are attached to the base in a circle, and a bandana is pinned on top in several places.

Makeup

Regardless of what the costume is, you will need to arm yourself with an outline pencil to draw on your Jack Sparrow's eyes, beard and mustache. If you wish, use store-bought facial hair. You can also tie a black ribbon around your head with pigtails, like those on a wig, sewn on to create a pirate-like goatee.

Mask

Although makeup will suffice, your son may want to wear a mask. To complement it new Year costume Jack Sparrow, you will need a printer. An image of the pirate's face is printed on it, cut out and pasted onto cardboard. In the upper part, staple the same piece of fabric that was used for the bandana. Cut out holes for the eyes. Attach an elastic band to the mask, which will be hidden under the wig.

Compass

If you watched the movie carefully, you will remember that something shiny was hanging from the pirate’s belt. This part of the costume was a compass. It can be made from any box by covering it with foil.

Now you know how to make a Jack Sparrow costume for a boy, and you can dress up your naughty boy so that he becomes the star of a school or kindergarten New Year's carnival.

If previously only children were dressed up for New Year, then now any themed adult party is not complete without an extravagant outfit. Modern youth are increasingly interested in costume parties, choosing images from science fiction films and comics.

Let's take, for example, a fashionable holiday that has recently entered Russia - Halloween. To put it in Russian terms, it’s our New Year, without Father Frost and Snow Maiden. main feature This holiday is that the costumes of American children are not at all similar to the costumes of harmless bunnies, squirrels, princesses, etc. The Halloween costume is the complete opposite of the kind and sweet Russian characters. Such costumes are designed to evoke horror and fear in others. The more sinister and shocking the image, the more interesting and fun this strange holiday will be.

What costumes do they prefer on the other side of the ocean? For many years, resourceful Americans have been coming up with costumes for zombies, ghosts, demons, witches and everything related to the other world. Actually, the holiday itself implies such a dress code, since it is dedicated specifically to the real and present evil spirits. But the fashion for Halloween costumes does not stand still; each time it introduces its own innovations and diversity. So on American sites, you can see that overseas people are bored with the abundance of monstrous costumes. Now, costumes of famous movie heroes are becoming increasingly popular. Regardless of whether the hero is positive or negative.

How to make a Halloween costume with your own hands? In most cases, Halloween costumes are made by adults with their own hands from scrap materials. At the same time, they keep up with the kids and willingly dress up in unusual costumes. Each of us is a little child! The main thing is to have fun and be as positive as possible. You will find even more costumes in my article:

In this regard, Russians are the luckiest of all, since we can only allow masquerades twice a year. And Christmas carols, if anyone has forgotten. So, a DIY Halloween costume will replace a DIY New Year's costume, which in turn will be useful for Christmas festivities.

How to sew a carnival costume? Answer: Just like making a Halloween costume. Try to sew a pirate costume, the most famous pirate - Jack Sparrow from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Oh yeah! Everyone loves this amazing and unpredictable hero. Despite his negative role, he never ceases to be charming and attractive. This costume is suitable for everyone, regardless of gender and age, you still can’t tell under the makeup. You definitely can't go wrong with a suit like this. In addition, the Jack Sparrow pirate costume will be relevant at children's parties; sewing it is not at all difficult. But how much delight and emotions you will give to others. How to sew a costume of the world's famous pirate, see below.

Children love parties and holidays, when they can wear some funny or scary costume, invite friends, fool around and have fun. Children's parties do not accept pathos and strict adherence to all norms of etiquette; their main task is to become a bright and memorable event in the life of your child.

Adults can also come to such parties in costumes - who doesn’t want to remember their childhood? And it doesn’t matter what holiday - New Year, Halloween, birthday or just a themed fun - choose an interesting image for yourself and your child, think through the costumes and surroundings, decorate the house (if the event is taking place at your place) and invite guests.

One of the most common characters is the pirate. Despite the similarity of the elements and details of the costume, this image can be made very original, interesting and original.

If you want to make a pirate costume with your own hands, you will see how simple and fast it is. Moreover, you can even use scrap materials or old unnecessary things. Of course, creating the surroundings or some special characteristic details will take a little more time. However, in general, this image is very beneficial for both boys and girls, and for adults for almost any occasion.

As a rule, a pirate costume is distinguished by its brightness, layering and variety: after all, pirates were almost the kings of all seas and oceans. A typical image might consist of:

• wide-brimmed cocked hats (with or without feathers, with pirate emblems - skull and daggers, etc.) or bandanas (kerchiefs);
• high leather boots (for girls on adult party it is possible to style the shoes as boots; for small children you can take black ballet flats or Czech shoes);
• from a white / cream shirt with voluminous puffy sleeves, jabots and cuffs (make it look like a pirate - leave traces of an enemy dagger here and there, for Halloween you can add blood) or a naval vest (the stripes can be black and white or blue or red) - it’s also better to ruin them: make holes, sew on pieces and shreds of multi-colored fabric;
• vest / corset and frock coat / camisole (the latter option is more suitable for adults, since it is too heavy and uncomfortable for children);
• comfortable voluminous pants (there may be full-length trousers, or there may be breeches or capris; even ordinary leggings and long striped leggings are suitable for children) or skirts - for girls (the skirt should be made asymmetrical, with a torn hem, fringe and a bunch of sewn-on decorations;
• belts (there may be several), a characteristic element is a sash;
• many different additional details (patches on one eye, a hook on the hand, a parrot on the shoulder, pistols or daggers / sabers in the belt, pipes, treasure maps, a spyglass, a chest or purse with gold coins, many rings on the fingers, baubles, an earring in ear and other accessories).

Before you make a pirate costume, decide on the look: for young children, the most comfortable and simple options, for teenagers (for a pirate party or Halloween) you can do something more cute and elegant; for adults, brutal or sexy images are also suitable - imagine how great it is to dress up for Halloween so that no one can distinguish you from Jack Sparrow or Angelica.

How to make a children's pirate costume for boys

First of all, decide how and from what you will create the costume. In a child's image it is not at all necessary to reproduce all the details or adhere to historical correspondence.

It is better to choose bright colors: red, black, burgundy, brown, a combination of sea colors and shades (less often, dark green or purple tones).

The base for the suit can be old trousers or even jeans. They will need to be cut and decorated (fray the cut edges to make a fringe, sew patches, weave in multi-colored threads). From this element you will build your image further: for example, a vest will go well with denim capri pants, and a white shirt will go well with wide trousers that can be tucked into boots.

See how easy it is to sew striped short pants for a little pirate.

1. Take comfortable children's pants. Fold them in half (so that the legs are together) - this will be a pattern.
2. Fold the striped fabric in half twice (following the direction of the stripes on it). Place the pants on it and mark with chalk or pencil (outline them).
3. Then you need to cut out what you have outlined. You will end up with two identical folded elements.
4. Sew the parts together. Then add elastic to the waistband and to the bottom of the legs.

You can also make pants from colored silk. Now work on the top of the suit. A vest, a vest and a bright sash will go well with the pants described above. And for black trousers you will have to make a shirt. It can be sewn using the same principle as striped pants (choose something comfortable for the child and use it as a pattern).

1. Keep in mind that a pirate shirt is not a modern model, so leave more space in the armpits, make voluminous sleeves, a little longer. Leave allowances for seams and for tucking the fabric.
2. After tracing the shirt, cut a neckline in the fabric and leave a small slit in front (the child's head should fit freely). Process the slot and neck.
3. Sew the shirt.
4. Make puffy cuffs on the sleeves. To do this, you need to trim the edge, and sew a piece of elastic at a short distance from it (while sewing, stretch it a little).
5. You can complement the product with a lace at the collar or a lace frill.

The vest can be made using the same technology, using a sleeveless T-shirt (you will need an outlined back piece with a fold and 2 front pieces. You will need to deepen the armholes in them and draw a V-neck on the front pieces. Cut out the elements and then sew them together). As a rule, pirate vests are not fastened, but are worn wide open, so the buttons on them can only be decorative.

A camisole will only get in the child's way. So you can move on to shoes and accessories. A pirate may be barefoot, or wear striped leggings and dark boots (shoes). Certainly, Wellingtons They look more advantageous, but will the baby be comfortable in them?

Working on accessories

Choose bright fabric for a belt or sash (fleece, satin). Then it will suit both the classic version of the suit and the image of a “sea wolf”. Cut it out of the fabric and stitch it (so that you can wrap it around the child’s waist at least twice). You can secure it with something so that it doesn’t come undone and interfere with your search for the treasure. You can also wear a leather belt (or even several).

The simplest version of a headdress is a bandana or scarf tied like a pirate. You can look at diagrams of how to tie a bandana and buy either a ready-made scarf, or cut it (a triangle) from a suitable fabric and sew on some decorating elements.

The hat is a little more difficult. You can try making it out of cardboard (take a very thick one). To do this you need:

• cut out the desired silhouette;
• separately make a headband that will hold the hat (after measuring it on the child’s head);
• paint or decorate the item (white skull and crossbones, paper fringe, cockade, hanging decorations).

The headdress is also made from fabric (strong and tough), you can even glue the back side with non-woven material so that the given shape is held well.

You can also make a hat in the form of a mask (this is very important for Halloween). The manufacturing principle is the same, only instead of a rim, attach the silhouette of the hat to a stick using tape. This way the child will be able to hold his headgear and apply it to his head if necessary.

An eye patch can be made from an ordinary piece of black fabric or cardboard (thread a ribbon or rubber band through it). Also decorate the bandage itself with a skull and bones.

The pirate hook is also easy to make: take disposable cup from cardboard (preferably red or black, but you can also paint it) and make a hole in its bottom. The hook is made of food foil and inserted into the hole, and then fixed with glue.

And a pirate pipe can be made from ordinary cardboard rolls from toilet paper. Use paints and artificial leather/ fabric for gluing and decorating the future pipe.

Weapons and other elements can be bought or made in the same way from cardboard and other improvised means. One condition - everything should shine and sparkle, after all, you are pirates.

Making a pirate costume for a girl

Actually, all the accessories and even many elements of the pirate costume are the same for girls and boys. Only the image of a pirate suggests more refined shapes and romantic details of the outfit.
