To keep it short, essentially the main badguys, the Cursed Skeleton Crew of the Black Pearl with Barbossa being the chief badguy. They are cursed with undeath and they turn into skeletons in the Moonlight. They are practically immortal and invincible since shooting them and cutting thier heads does nothing, but the by product of this is that it cost them not feeling "Human", Barbossa said so himself.
"The drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and pleasurable company (prostitutes) could not slake our lust."
"For too long I have been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long have I been starving to death, and haven't died. I feel nothing, not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman's flesh."
So their entire motivation is to lift the curse, forsaking the immortality and invincibility that comes with it, to gain back thier mortal humanity.
Why I find this deep is because you would think no longer needing to eat, drink, sleep, and being immortal would actually be a benefit, heck this is the usually the desire of most supervillains, and the drawback of turning into skeletons at night is not that big a deal when you are still completely immortal and invincible. But to these guys no, they would rather live their mortal lives with thier humanity intact then be this immortal ghost.
