The scenes that really captured my attention in Pirates of the Caribbean (other than Jack Sparrow's witty sense of humor of course), was the sword fighting scenes. I thought it resembled dancing and was really captivated by how they crossed their swords, swung their arms, and also their footwork - it was brilliant! To sword fighting choreographer Ian Newell, a sword fight is ""just like any other choreography."" And I can't agree any more on that. I think fencing terms are really beautiful and classy (it's no surprise since it's in French), having heard/seen them for a couple of times now and then: - Al la macchia / ala mazza - Bravazzo / Branando - Cavazione - Controcavazione - Coup de grace |
