Reveal the answer

Why this is the answer (spoilers)

The answer is Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), directed by Rob Marshall. Johnny Depp plays Jack Sparrow, whose search for the Fountain of Youth brings him into a story involving a woman from his past, Blackbeard, and mermaids. Penélope Cruz and Ian McShane are also in the cast. These details help distinguish the intended film from other pirate adventures.

For a movie-identification puzzle, combine several independent clues before choosing a title. A pirate setting alone is broad; the cast, the Fountain of Youth premise, and the release year narrow the possibilities. Check the subtitle carefully, because recognising Jack Sparrow identifies a series without identifying a particular instalment. The archive specifies the 2011 film and the subtitle On Stranger Tides. These are reference facts and identification strategies, without claiming that any particular shot appeared in the daily clips.
