In this movie, we follow the assault of a galleon by pirates, from under the sea to the top of the mast.? Each level of the ship shows us the torments of this era and the reasons that make a man take the way of piracy to free himself from the absurd rules dictated by almighty empires.?The film is a vertical long shot starting underwater, crossing the decks of the boat and getting out on the upper deck, climbing up the mast to end on Edward and the Black Flag, the strongest symbol of the Golden Age of Piracy.Each meter to the top is another step to freedom and unruliness.?A voice-over strenghtens the images, like a hymn to piracy.?In the end, Edward stands on top of all, the king of the hill, free - almost a peaceful image.?The last scene unleashes the brutality of Edward, a glimpse of his wildness.
