Talk:Isla Cruces

This Page is about the fictional island that is included within Pirates of the Caribbean 2 therefore it is my belief that this article should explain the island itself as the events that take place here are already included within the main movie article. --Red Shift 19:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Picture?
Anyone got a picture from the movie of this island that they could insert? --Coola 09:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Church ruin?
I thought it was a (probably sugar) mill. It did have a water wheel attached to it which featured rather prominently in the fight choreagraphy. Was it common to have water wheels attached to Churches in the time period?


 * Considering it had a graveyard and a belltower, it's quite obvious that it is a church. However, the churches often stand in the middle of villages, no matter how small, and it is not impossible that some kind of water mill was either attached to the church or being in close proximity of it.


 * It was also not unusual for monasteries to engage in some economic activity to support themselves.(I just watched the DVD with the commentary and the writers confirm that it is a church.)PNW Raven 15:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Uncharted Island?
Regarding the comment (that I've since removed) that Jones' may have chosen the island because it was "unmarked": A European colony was once established here. I find it hard to believe the island was uncharted. Especailly if it was abandoned because it was a plague island. People would be warned to stay away. Any thoughts about this? Perhaps this is a discrepancy by the filmmakers. Where is it stated that it was "unmarked?"

And I didn't get what the writers meant when they said one reason Jones may have buried the heart on land is because the Kraken could not get to it. Did Jones fear the Kraken would kill him? I thought Jones had total power over it. I was also unclear about Jones choosing land because he could not step foot on it. Does that mean he didn't want to be tempted to put the heart back into his chest, although he would be able to do so in another ten years. And what difference does it make, he just sent his crew to get the chest for him. Burying the heart on land makes it easier for other people to get to it, so why not hide it under the sea? In fact, why not keep the Dead Man's Chest on the Flying Dutchman. Anyone have an ideas about this? PNW Raven 14:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with the part about him not wanting to be tempted to put his heart back in his chest. It also could be that he didn't want it on the Flying Dutchman for fear that some disgruntled crewman would use it against him, perhaps in order to free themselves--as Bootstrap demonstrated when he helped Will escape, there doesn't seem to be anything preventing them from doing things they shouldn't. 71.217.98.158 05:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
