Something interesting happened when I recently rewatched The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I hadn't seen that movie in years, so I had forgotten many of the finer details in it. This especially became apparent when the heroine Elizabeth Swann was brought aboard the Black Pearl for the first time.
Up to this point in the film, she's nearly drowned and had to be saved by Jack Sparrow, been chased and terrorized by two ghoulish pirates, and been forced to surrender herself at knifepoint. Basically, she's not anything like what I've come to expect from modern heroines who seem designed to do everything by themselves rather than relying on a man for anything.
