The film tells the true story of the American freighter being hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009. Tom Hanks plays the captain Richard Phillips, but his nickname is Rich instead of Dick. The director is Paul Greengrass, director of "The Bourne" and "United Airlines 93".
I arrived at the theater a few minutes late and missed all the scenes in which Catherine Keener appeared. It was also a scene that received unanimous negative reviews.
Knowing the ending of the film is difficult to move the heartstrings. But this movie continues the magic of United 93, even a bit too dramatic. But it's great.
This time, the interpretation of several pirates was not as deliberate as in United 93. Only the thin boss got more shots, and the others were more single. However, there were laughter or breathing sounds in several places in the theater, all because of their lens.
Put Tom Hanks at the end. The captain he played was very meticulous, and his requirements for the crew were too serious. But of course he was kidnapped later. So most of his performances in the front of the movie are subtle and delicate, and later part of his emotions and behaviors become obvious and strong (How do you translate “arc”?).
As for Tom Hanks's performance, it is really great, worthy of being one of the best actors in his generation. As a hostage under the gun, Phillips must not only avoid angering the pirates, but also tentatively intercede and understand his situation. He judges the situation by listening to the gangster's dialogue (and can only listen to the tone of voice), and shows his fear. Sometimes There is also sympathy, these quiet details require high performance. And the last few minutes of the scene are his essence, you only realize that he has been controlling and affecting your emotions, and the audience is indeed caught in the palm of his hand. (Yeah, Boston Accent, Yo!) It's not
too early to nominate the Little Golden Man.
