-Syrena & Philip- Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides

[KoOkiEzRoCkz]

Say whatever you want about POTC, but I genuinely LOVE these kinds of stories the series whips up. They have a fairytale/bedtime story feel that feels so alive. Making you admire the beauty of the character's interactions and then ending it just enough for it to not to feel too abrupt yet still feel very mysterious, leaving you to wonder to your imagination's furthest extent, what the characters go on to do. Very short but with just enough life to be fascinating.

Idk wtf was Disney thinking about when they decided not to include this couple on the last film. They should have a film on their own.

Say what you want, I actually liked the love story between Syrena and Philip because it's sad, heartbreaking and bittersweet, symbolically and literally.

Whoever shot this scene. Brilliant. You can see she wants to save him, but she needs to know he loves her. She tempts him with the, you need only ask. And yet he keeps asking for forgiveness. Love isn't just romantic either. It's about the care you show for them. He's dying and all he cares about is how much pain he caused her. Soon as she hears that she kisses him whilst he's still on land, knowing he truly means it. It's the complete opposite of the earlier scene. The kiss means he can breathe underwater and that's given to him before he's pulled under to save him. 10/10

It's untold legend that mermaids seek men who have a heart that protects or are righteous, kiss them to let them breathe underwater and bring them to their nest to mate with them. They're like vampires of the sea, instead of a bite, it's a kiss

wow only a short time on set but brought across such a passionate chemistry I love these two

A mermaids kiss keeps a sailor from drowning

[asrimd]

They became the parent of aquaman... half mermaid half human

[cecejohns]

I want to know what happens after that. It should become a whole mother movie

[smotana]

this scene is so powerful, in every way.
it is told that mermaids are women who didn't get a place on noah's ark. so these women had to adapt to the water to survive and became mermaids. and philip with his religious spirit felt in some way that before he have to ask for help, even if serena offered him help, he wanted first the forgiveness. so serena saw that his heart is pure and worth saving.

When I first watched this part I thought she killed him, but now I know she used a mermaid kiss that lets you breath underwater and eventually turn into a merman.

[koninara]

they need a movie about these two, Astrid is such a babe

For those wondering what happened afterwards:
Syrena kissed Philip, confirming the legend that a mermaid's kiss prevents drowning by giving him the ability to breathe underwater, and pulls him into the pool to freedom. His further fate is unknown. Many speculate their fate: Some say he lived with her, secluded from all mermaids to continue their passionate love life together and have mer-children. Others that he became part of the mermaids clan as a merman, leading them to repentance and faith, making them stop killing humans. Others that Syrena took Philip to safety to an island and transformed her tail into human legs, allowing her to have a human life with Philip. And some that he became King Triton from the little mermaid since this is Disney property LOL

Considering the 5th Movie: Dead Men Tell No Tales... the Trident of Poseidon had power over the seas, including merfolk (mermaids). The Trident possessed the power to break ANY curse at sea, so once the trident was broken in the film, ALL CURSES and MAGIC was broken... Philip returned to his normal human form (as seen with Salazar and his crew, Will Turner released from Dutchman and... even Davy Jones being resurrected?) ... But what about the merfolk? They are mythical creatures of the sea, not curses. I personally believe the merfolk also turned into regular humans due to being half human. Thus, Philip and Syrena continued their love and family as regular humans afterwards, a happy ending to all characters in this Pirates franchise.

There was more passion and genuine love in this scene alone than Anakin and padme did in the Star Wars prequels.

[tessah]

And that is WHY finnick lives in district 4

[krasavyts]

Who else gets goosebumps when the soundtrack plays and she takes him underwater?

[cvharpmcgee]

Friggin' love this. The interaction and conversation is so well-intentioned and honest, and has the best ending possible (not that I think she killed him or anything, I actually believe she did save him like she said she would).

[meowchan]

I loved this little romance story <3

[jamesmoyner]

These two had a better romance in one film than Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann had in 3 movies!!!! Plus this is my second favorite film of the series after the first one!!!

The myth says that mermaid kiss turn you to mermen So I guess that she saved his Life
