Davy Jones: my favorite villain of Pirates of the Caribbean

Today, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and I saw again the character of Davy Jones. He is probably my favorite villain of the saga, as much by its appearance (which is really cool and strange) that by its nature.

First, Davy Jones is not a mere fictional character. He is taken from a maritime legend, describing Davy Jones as a kind of demon, the devil of the oceans. Besides, Davy Jones means "Deep of the Sea", or are all dead sailors at sea. We can therefore understand why Davy Jones has this terrifying aspect in the movies.

In movies, Davy Jones is the captain of the Flying Dutchman, a legendary ship, which also is derived from the legend of the "Flying Dutchman", a ghost ship that was sighted several times, in several different centuries.

Davy Jones was a great adventurer and sailor, but one day he fell in love with the sea goddess, Calypso, and wanted to stay with her ​​forever. She granted him immortality and in exchange, he tore his heart and put it in a box. After becoming immortal, Davy Jones was entrusted with a mission by Calypso: take the souls of those who died at sea to the kingdom of the dead. Davy Jones has accomplished this mission during 10 years, but the day he is coming back to find Calypso, she was not there, because it is in the nature of the goddess to be "unfaithful".

Davy Jones, angry and broken, ceased to fulfill its mission for Calypso, and a terrible curse fell upon him and his crew: they became aquatic hybrid creatures.

Davy Jones is a very interesting character in the saga, with its story. He can be considered as a villain, but at the same time, one can not help feeling sorry for him, all he wanted was to know the love, but this one transformed him into heartless monster and repulsive. Davy Jones also has a fairly dark humor, and seems liked to asked to the humans if "they are afraid of death."

Davy Jones is a formidable fighter with a sword, he has a strong personality and manages to make himself obey his crew without problem (you can even say that the other monsters of the crew have a little afraid of him). The only way to kill Davy Jones is to pierce his heart locked in the trunk (but whoever did this, should take the place of Jones in command of the Flying Dutchman and accomplish the mission, at risk of ending up with the same appearance as Davy Jones)

One last thing: Davy Jones also has a musical talent, for example, during the scene where he plays the organ with his tentacles (a very beautiful music for that matter)
