Cutler Beckett Suite | Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End (Original Soundtrack) by Hans Zimmer

- Technically the main antagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Cutler Beckett is mostly known musically for his death scene's beautiful score. And while it's a great rendition of his theme, his actual motif is far more memorable to me. Very memorable and catchy, not only feeling sinister and villainous but also cold and calculating, with the big loud moments showing off his power and imperial rule. It reeks of a slimy, royal officer in the British navy and it fits him perfectly.

The Dutchman sails as it's Captain commands-AND IT'S CAPTAIN IS TO SAIL IT AS COMMANDED!
I WILL NOT BE SUMMONED LOKE A MONGREL PUP!
"I thought you had learned that when I ordered you to kill your 'pet'. This is no longer your world, Jones. The immaterial has become... immaterial."
Best translated for what Beckett means: “Her Captain is to sail her as I command!”
I read all of these in becketts voice
@@blakefauset4549 Tom Hollander did an amazing job
Growing up I absolutely HATED Cutler Beckett's character, mainly because I loved Davy Jones' character and hated seeing him controlled. But I've since to really appreciate him and his role in the trilogy. Most other franchises that try to mesh fantastical elements with a more realistic setting tend to leave out how world governments or powers would interact with magical elements, or just lazily rule them out as being weaker or unimportant. But Pirates of the Caribbean really pioneered by showing that no matter how fantastical you make our world, there will always be those who seek to exploit power for their own benefit, and Cutler Beckett personifies that masterfully.
I like the way you talk.
Thats good because he's a bad guy
Go read One Piece ;)
Yep, I like the X-men movies for a similar reason. It's not just superheroes and supervillains battling it out. The regular humans and their politics and power struggles play a pretty crucial role too, making it more realistic.
@@CRACKBONE7317 lol wtf 😂 it's so american to say that
I always loved this character (type) but I didn't know until now why. He has purpose. He knows what he want's and why. He will do whatever it takes. He has a plan for the world and he knows what role he plays. For good or evil, he shall prevail or perish. The better man wins. It's just good business.
Это деловой подход
27:10 gives me chills. It feels like Hans Zimmer’s genius was inspired from Mozart’s Requiem, anyway I think Cutler Beckett had a strong presence and made a great vilain along with Davy Jones. Each theme in respect to its character has its own brilliance and emotions.
Šta pišeš lektiru ovdje
yeah but he fails lmao
@@CrazycruxGaming so what?
He's a chilling villain because of how subdued he acts. There's no over the top laughter or hamming it up, nor passionate rants. He just knows what he wants and does what is needed to get it. No regards for the lives in the way or the abhorrent methods used. He watches a child being hanged with no reaction at all, casually orders the murder of anyone who stands in his way, and never loses his cool even when at gunpoint. It's almost like he thinks he's the only "real" person, and everyone else is a tool that can be made to do what he wants with the right words/actions.
“A very small man can cast a very large shadow” Gandalf was right Beckett’s actor Tom Hollander is only 5’5 yet it’s difficult not to fear and respect the character.
That ain't Gandalf's line. This was said by a character named Varys from game of thrones
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
@@Unknown-ud8ni he was making a joke :)
@@Filip-dg6uk I get the joke, all I'm saying is that he miscredited the quote
@@Unknown-ud8ni my point was that that too was actually part of the joke :)
"The enemy has opted for oblivion! Ready the fleet." - Lord Cutler Beckett
Ever since I first heard that line, I've been using it in Empire: Total War and Napoleon: Total War whenever I face off against an enemy fleet that's both heavily outnumbered and outgunned.
They're outnumbered? What I'm hearing is chain shot and a fat prize for the taking.
Even better, use it when your fleet is heavily outnumbered and outgunned
@@edbrook7088 Going the Horatio Nelson route, I see? I like your thinking.
Let's be real. Lord Beckett fought to bring piracy - a profession of thieves, murderers, and rapists - to an end. He did his best to carry out his duty as head of the East India Trading Company. In many ways, he was a noble man.
True. But his methods were absolutely and extremely brutal.
And he wanted all the glory of doing so for himself. He was an arrivist and a self-centered bastard.
HOİST THE COLOURS!!

Agreed
He’s one of my favourite villains ever
His menacing aura is similar to jones and I can’t explain why
Him jones and Blackbeard are my favourite villains just above Vader
This guy owns the catchphrase, "It's just good business." I will never not think of this man when I hear those words. And I will always say them in a high English accent.
"It's nothing personal Jack. It's just good business."
The only one who could match Jack's intelligence.

Beckett is like the one Villain that would’ve been a herald as a Hero if he successfully gets rid of Piracy. Which is incredibly smart of the creator’s take, especially given he has killed the least compared to other characters but manipulated the most.
He is probably seen as a Hero in POTC britain, as he died in service to the crown, at the hands of pirates.
The older I got, the more I realised how correct Lord Beckett is. He’s actually a good man doing the necessary dirty work that no one wants to do.
You might need to get some help
Beckett: "We had a deal, Jack. I commissioned you to deliver 'cargo' on my behalf, and you chose to liberate it."
Jack: "People aren't cargo, mate."
he is like a british napoleon
Yes
To even think about how disney movies had vilians like Cutler Beckett back in the day. MY GOD HOW THE STANDARDS HAVE DROPPED :´-C
💯
Growing up with these movies I never cared much for the character of Beckett because: "Wow, pirate movie! Pirates are cool the other guys suck!" but I recently watched these movies again and Beckett's character is such an amazingly written villain.
He's not really purely evil to the point where you hate him for his simple existence in the film. Yeah, sure, he is a stuck up, cocky little prick but he has a goal, a purpose in mind which isn't even that ridiculous from his perspective. The world /is/ changing and moving on from pirates and his choice is to heavily lean into that change. From that point alone, you can't really fault him. He is also very self-assured, confident and knows what his ultimate goal is.
This series has a lot of villains and even the characters we are, arguably, supposed to be rooting for aren't exactly good guys. They just want the world to stay the same because it benefits them.
The scene at the very start of the film with the hanging where Beckett says: "Finally." is such a masterfully establishing shot of who Beckett is as a character right from the get go. It roots him into the film and tells the audience that he truly is someone to be feared and that the stakes are higher than they have ever been in any other potc film up until that point. It's simple but it gets the job done perfectly and Beckett only has to say one single word.
Beautiful performance by the actor as well. Easily one of my favourite villains.
Edit: Why does "Just Good Business" go SO hard??? ( 16:39 )
Finally someone who has thoroughly researched Cutler Beckett, from a certain stand point for example if this happened in the real world we would consider Beckett to be the good guy compared to everyone else.
@Stellart Just Good Business goes so hard, because it's apparently an alternative take on the maelstrom battle. At least, the start of it.
27:10 gives me chills. It feels like Hans Zimmer’s genius was inspired from Mozart’s Requiem, anyway I think Cutler Beckett had a strong presence and made a great vilain along with Davy Jones. Each theme in respect to its character has its own brilliance and emotions.
Because Beckett goes hard 😅
He was born for this role.
The only man that doesn't fear Davy Jones. Who has more darker heart than Davy will ever have. He might not look it but he is one to be feared and not you want as ur enemy. Unless you want a whole fleet of British navy on you head!
Oh, also, I'm sure you noticed this while going through looking for Salazar's score but you can very clearly hear Beckett's theme used TWICE in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. First in the opening of Ship Race when Scarfield is closing in on the Black Pearl, and second when Barbossa dies, where they just straight up reuse his Beckett's death theme in Treasure.
You can also hear it during the mermaid sequence in Strangers Tide
A large part of Dead Men Tell No Tales is recycled from the older movies; they play the maelstrom theme as well.
I was quite annoyed they couldn't be bothered to write more original music without Hans Zimmer.
same with Davy Jones's theme
Funnily enough, if I recall correctly a dead Beckett was supposed to make an appearance, to mock Jack.
Cutler Beckett is the Gus Fring of the Seven Seas.
One of the best villians blockbuster cinema ever seen.
I still don't like the idea of Beckett just dying like that. I know its somewhat symbolic to his character that he can't control everything. But he's the kind of man who has a backup plan. Why did place all his bets on Davy Jones knowing that Jones hated him? Sure, you can say his ego got the better of him, and that he wasn't prepared to lose. He had the power of the Indian Trading Company, and had the favor of the king of cleaning up the seas of pirates. The first time I saw it, I was expecting Beckett to lead his ships to take down both the Pearl and the Dutchman. Sure, both are immortal like ships, but I could picture Beckett saying something along the lines of "Lets send these pirates where they belong. To the sea" then an epic battle commences with Beckett's ships and the combined might of the power lords. But no, Beckett is so shocked he just walks around as his ship is demolished. I honestly don't remember if he came alone or with an armada of ships. But why would he depend solely on Davy Jones? Even if he succeeded, and Jones won, then what about the pirate lords? Knowing them, they would scramble and flee. The armada Beckett would've brought would ensure no pirates escape. He was always 2 steps ahead, but in the finale, he just sent Davy Jones and waited. False confidence and extreme ego can only go so far in explaining a characters demise as pitiful as his.
The scene itself was good, don't get me wrong. The music playing, the ship getting destroyed and him accepting defeat was cool. I just didn't like his overall response. Maybe have him order his men around, with his men abandoning ship. With no one left to obey his orders, he realizes too late that he is alone. At that moment, and only at that moment, does he accept defeat. The second in command was asking for orders from Beckett, but Beckett didn't even say or do anything! I just feel the story wanted to end, so got his death over with to end the movie. I liked it, but it could've been better in my opinion. (yes, I know they had a budget, and couldn't afford a big battle with all those ships. But at least give Beckett a satisfying death. That's all I ask)
Okay i agree with mostly everything you're saying. It was super dumb how there was all this hype up of Beckett having a full on ARMY behind him and all the pirates being brought together to fight. But in the end, they all just sat on the sidelines watching the main characters fight it out. Its just a show i guess.
BUT where i disagree is how Beckett reacts to his ship exploding around him. I LOVE that he is in this daze and can't do anything to save himself. I'm pretty sure his last line is, "It's just... good business." To me whats happening in his head is him realizing how dumb it was to put all of his trust in Davy Jones. Of course the pirates working together would be his downfall. Its just good business for them to work together as a team and defend themselves. In a way, his inaction is a bit suicidal, since he's accepting to be the "loser" in this game they've been playing. He sees no point in fighting anymore and if the pirates have won his life would be meaningless. Or something like that.
I think another reason i like this "acceptance" of defeat, is too often the villain gets away. We see him "die" but he just comes back! Or escapes. The finality of his death is in a weird way satisfying and also realistic, as people can't fight forever.
I feel the same. I like how it looks, but it's quite stupid
Beckett was also commanding a first-rate ship of the line: ships like that could battle against multiple enemy ships at the same time, even ships that were much bigger and more powerful than the pearl or the dutchman - theres literally no reason for him to not fight back in that situation. Altho the pearl is the main ship in the series and bla bla bla it is not a very powerful ship at all, it carries only 32 cannons while the endeavour carried over 100, the dutchman also had 46 i think, this means both the black pearl and the flying dutchman had altogether less guns aiming at the endeavour than she had aiming at them, just think: both the pearl and the dutchman could have at most half of their guns aiming at the endeavour, which means they had 16 + 23 or 39 guns aiming at Beckett's ship; the endeavour had 50+ guns aiming at EACH of them. Even if the dutchman is cursed and etc. etc. etc, ships like the endeavour had 800+ men on board, how could 800 men not be able to take over the dutchman and get the chest back? It is quite stupid to think that Beckett would have given up on that fight when he still had the advantage even without Jones. And im not even gonna mention the 33 billion ship armada he had waiting for orders right behind him. While this would be certainly anti-climatic and stupid, the realistic outcome of that fight would be the Endeavour swallowing the pearl whole and having a fight against Will and the dutchman's crew to reclaim the chest.
@@darknessinside9518 'magic death'. 1st liner is basically impenetrable by 17th-century frigate guns(or any before 19th century, for the matter), even point blank, in the opposite direction - it's a matter of a single short-medium range salvo(32/36 pdr guns of the main deck alone will suffice). But good guys had to win.
I like Cutler Beckett as a villain the audience is shown a lot of setup for his power and influence such as when Jack finds a canister with the E.I.C logo on it this second long scene shows how far the reach of the company truly is a later deleted scene is also great at setting him up it's after Norrington hands the heart to Beckett the cartographer turns round and says it's finished and the camera pans up to show a complete map of the world this shows the pirates can no longer hide over the edge of the map and that soon Cutler Beckett will stretch his arms around the world and gain full dominion over the seas and that he is the greatest threat any pirate has ever faced.

Well......Hans Zinmer is like the god of cinema music
That is your opinion. I prefer Ennio Moricone and John Williams.
Holy shit this is why the track sounds so familiar no wonder, I see the similarities now that’s awesome
I aspire to be everything that this man is.
PotC was somehow the Marvel of its time, still it had very good villains. How was it possible back then and now we have very often poorly written characters in blockbusters ?
a story made by a creative mind makes money.
a story made by a greedy committee makes garbage.
the late 90s and early 2000s music and movies created the best ones
It was better than Marvel. Still is if you count the first three films.
15:40 is epic. Surely the best BO of Hans Zimmer.

One of the greatest villans of all time
the score behind his death is some peak Hans Zimmer composition, Beckett's death was just gloriously amazing
Whenever you betray someone for gain: It’S jUsT GoOd BuSiNeSs
Who betrayed who? Jack Sparrow was literally betraying everyone and coming back when it was in-interest for him, that's what all pirates did. Beckett just used their tactics to defeat the enemies.
"It's...just good business"-Cutler Beckett
23:42 is one of the best parts in the whole franchise.
My favourite bit of the soundtrack is this. Really unique. Sophisticated brutality.
what is 'this' exactly??
Ah, glad to see this beautiful leitmotif is getting some love! Interestingly, I find the ‘second’ motif (the one that you hear in the end part of ‘lord cutler beckett’ and ‘elizabeth locker’ amongst others) doesn’t sound that evil, and in fact sounds quite sad.
I wouldn't have minded if the second half of Treasure from Dead Men Tell No Tales was also added in the end of this, because in a way, Beckett's death music was also used at that part (when Barbossa sacrifices himself to save Jack, Carina and Henry from Salazar)
"what am I to you?"
"..Treasure."
All of Jack's enemies have badass themes
Facts
AMAZING isn't enough !
"It's nothing personal. It's just.... good business."
9:23 best part
Cutler's theme and just good business are do incredible ! They are my favorites ! Elegant but powerful ! Two masterpiece 🙏👑
Cutler Beckett is a great villain for the same reason Delores Umbridge is in "Harry Potter". They're real. You see them every day. You have to deal with them, and often don't realize you are until it's too late.
He had the best hat of the saga
omg, this is EXACTLY what i needed
"You can fight and all of you will die, or you can NOT fight... in which case only MOST of you will die."
He has the best theme
I love how every single one of his themes sound like a clock ticking, he's so inminent and tyranical, creeping over the other character's lives to take what he considers belongs to the institution he represents.
Been so long since I listened to a Beckett suite
Most based film character
"Every man has a price he will willingly accept. Even for what he hoped never to sell."
These movies had the best music, fantastic arrangement again. Thanks.
The immaterial has become...immaterial.
Unpopular Opinion: Beckett's theme is better than Davy Jones's theme
its not unpopular when its correct xd
@@lucyesteban3286 indeed haha. But the things is majority of people prefer others villain's themes and I disagree with them. Beckett's theme is so much better than all
@@boi9428 yeah the others are fricking good as well, but his just has this special touch to it. Just describes his many layers perfectly in my opinion
@@lucyesteban3286 Damn you couldnt say any better
@@boi9428 thank you I guess? 😂😅
If you’re a person who’s addicted to knowing peoples last words - famous or not - then, Beckett’s last words were -
“ It’s just .. - good business. “
P.S If u think Beckett has the best death in history of real life and movie deaths, then

Not go to lie he got the best send of of any villain
Simply inspirational.
A cinematic and musical masterpiece!
I love this soundtrack a lot. Helps me painting my asoiaf army. Genius!
Heard someone refer to Davy Jones as the Darth Vader of Pirates. Well this guy is the Emperor Palpatine of Pirates. The man behind it all.
21:33 my favourite moment
Mine too
Sitting here in my suit on the porch listening to this
POTC 3 is exactly what a pirate story should be. A mix of paranormal adventure/treasure hunting alongside a criminal drama where the only winner is he who holds the most leverage.
simply most underrated theme
So iconic. Hell yeah, thanks.

*THE BEST CHARACTER OF PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN*
Just good bussiness. ©
I do want you to remember, Jack, that the EITC has more ships than the British Royal Navy.
The thing about this character...he embodies vastly more than percepted by an avg viewer. History teaches us. They hv been are and will appear. Smtms quite often, will pass nvr being known.
Nonetheless, absurd is basing an endevour on one.
They come. They go.
Some mentioned some not.
Some putting emphasis on the outcomes.
Some taking pride being causatives.
Civilisation enterprises outgrew a single man since language appeared.
I love you Cutler Beckett
What if Grand Admiral Thrawn and Lord Beckket meet one day.

That would be a perfect crossover! I made a fanfic story that The EITC allies with the Galactic Empire.

This is bad arse. I mean we all hate Beckett. He is the archetypical evil Brit but he is just a legend in this sound track.
Not all of us hate him. Some of us love and admire him and share the same goals.
You gotta admit the blue British East India Company uniforms were carrying the whole movie and gave the water because they were dripping.

I believe comander its someone greatness in story pirates of carribean, ever and ever. legend story!!
Anyone else have a crush on Beckett? 😂
Just good business.
YES!! I do😊🥰

0:19 always makes me feel sad cuz the Kraken died
Lord Cutler Beckett is the only character in the pirate franchise that I admired and admire, in fact, if Davy Jones had been smarter and guarded his heart better, the outcome of the battle would have been decided in Beckett's favor. His composure, determination and sharp mind are what a hero needs, he only fights real evil, albeit not with the gentlest methods, he destroys dirty pirates.
Back when Disney could still produce some gems of movies
Back before we had stinkin ESG's. Back when it was just... good business...
when you play the british in total war
All I can imagine is the scene where Jack tries to imitate Beckett’s pose in the painting
It's just... good business...
why can’t they officially release this
Are you considering making a Norrington suite?
15:12 Saving this for later

"What am I to you?
Treasure."
Wonderful character! If only the screenwriters had given him a better ending... D:
How is it a bad ending? He dies having arrogantly underestimated the loyalty and perseverance of the pirates he's tried to eradicate. And his death scene is beautiful.
@TheDirtyNorf I think the death scene is way too short for the importance of the character: they got out of him too quickly and roughly :(
East India company alike all nvr admit mistake.
But unlike them all - adjusts instantly.

Lord Beckett did nothing wrong
slave trade, usurperism, murder, unethical business practices, hired piracy, insider trading, false imprisonment, conflict of interest, bribery, blackmail, hiring assassins, human trafficking, potentially forgery.
Can anyone tell me the name of the hat he wears? I can't find that exact style of tricorn hat
Try looking at british naval tricorns or bicorns from the 1700s/1800s, they are very similar i think
