One of 's reaching for his brain.

One of Jack Sparrow's hallucinations reaching for his brain.

"Good sirs, I'm not a witch... but I forgive your common dimwittedness and feeble brains. In short, most of you have the mind of a goat."
―Carina Smyth[src]

A brain was an organ that served as the center for consciousness and reasoning. Located in the head as the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body, the brain served as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

Behind the scenes

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated that with Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), who was then 17 years old during the production of the 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the filmmakers "found beauty, brains, and boldness, a great combination."[1][2]

Actor Geoffrey Rush (Hector Barbossa) stated his opinion on how hats were important when it comes to creating a character.[3] On set, Rush was reluctant to part with Barbossa's wide, feathered hat "because that, to me, is the brain of the character. All his vanity and pomposity, all his danger and cunning and ego is contained in that hat".[4]

Both Lee Arenberg (Pintel) and Mackenzie Crook (Ragetti) maintain that Pintel and Ragetti are related. As part of a backstory worked out by both actors, their characters' full names are Terry Ragetti and Abner Pintel, that Ragetti was the son of Pintel's sister, and they shared half a brain.[5][6][7] However, as none of it was revealed in any Pirates of the Caribbean media, it is unknown if the information is canon or not.
