      best rhythm

      Adapted from real events, the rhythm is well grasped, and a heart has been hung, worried about the captain. Negotiating with the thugs is too important, one unhappy person or a change of mood may kill the hostage at any time. One of the interesting points is that the pirate captain said that he hijacked a Greek ship last year and took 6 million US dollars. Captain Philip asked him, if he took 6 million, what are you still doing here, the pirate captain immediately shut up. The pirate...

      The life and death of a leaf boat!

      With Tom Hanks in charge, the film's acting skills are absolutely guaranteed. From "Bridge of Spies" to "Captain Sully", Tom Hanks' acting skills for such films have never disappointed the audience. , If anyone has not watched "Bridge of Spies", the editor strongly recommends everyone to watch it. I remember that after watching "Bridge of Spies", I couldn't calm down for a long time, and then I realized that a movie can still be so impressive. Shocking, in two hours, the director and actors...

      Barefoot pirates go well

      There are three details in Tom Hanks' performance that impressed me deeply: First, blocking the pirates' muzzle for the crew and saying that I am the captain, don't kill him! come to me! The second is to find an opportunity to escape under the pretext of urinating, and was forced to return after being shot by bullets in the surging sea. The third is to risk his life to write letters to his family, and to resist desperately after being stopped... It is not that he is not afraid of death, but...

      Ocean

      "I've always wanted to go to the United States, and I'll go to New York to buy a car." Little pirates also have dreams. In fact, no one wants anyone to be hurt, and they don't want to see death. Somalia's political situation and economic level determine that they can only stand Are the opposite parties sixteen or seventeen? But he did things that don't match his age. I can't hate these four skinny pirates at all. There are even many moments. I hope Philip can get a chance for them. But it's...

      Captain Philip with Wisdom and Courage

First, it depicts the changes in the mood of the vicious...

      It's a majestic ship, and it's a solid performance overall, but it's probably not as charismatic as Tom Hanks' virtuosity. The film's handheld camera style and slightly protracted rhythm may be uncomfortable for some audiences, but in many cases it is more like a huge magnet, and you will deeply feel that you are in its magnetic...

      Handheld photography doubles the sense of presence, but it doesn’t always fit in. On the other hand, Tom Hanks' acting skills in the second half of the show are really worthy of the movie star level, and his emotions are in place, supporting the audience....

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is adapted from real events that happened in 2009. This is the first time a US ship has been hijacked by pirates in nearly 200 years.
    In a scene at the Shipboard Combat Information Center, an officer wrote the words "Seat 15" upside down on the information board. This is not in the script. Photographer Eclaud accidentally noticed that a sergeant was writing backwards and asked him to do the same in the movie. In fact, the U.S....

    Evaluation action

    Paul Greengrass, the director of the Bourne Shield series and United Airlines 93, apparently did not praise Captain Philip and the US Navy SEALs, but based on the impact of the robbery on the Somali pirates and even Captain Philip. , There is no “face-to-face” “positive and negative”, and several main characters are portrayed with flesh and blood ( foreign media review ). 
    Civilian heroes sacrifice themselves to protect others-this...
