For at least three months, I will see the book Captain Phillips when I visit pageone. I hesitate to buy it because I think this kind of captain’s disaster action movie against pirates will not be too innovative. As a result, I watched the movie. I am particularly upset about my preconceivedness and almost missed a good novel or movie. The movie "Captain Philip" is very suitable for watching with my father. When watching the movie, I chatted with my father very vigorously, just when my father couldn't help shouting: "Hurry up, take the opportunity to defeat the pirates." I was cold. He replied: "I am a crew member, not a soldier, so I have to cherish my life." Before the voice was over, the crew staged a sneak attack on Muse in the movie. Hollywood dramas are accurate to the audience's physiological reactions. This deduction process made me understand the charm of dramas again.
This movie is a very typical "external event" drama with elements as the core narrative logic, character relationships, personal growth and other issues are almost beyond the scope of this kind of drama to discuss, good people and bad people do not have to guess at all. In this way, this story Is it boring? However, the film not only shows the Americans' concept of courage and sacrifice, but also emphasizes once again the heroism of "saving private Ryan", fighting the enemy with wits and courage in a dangerous situation, responding calmly, and at the last moment, it shows the kindness to the family. Nostalgia, the human nature of ordinary people, etc., all make this movie show extraordinary illusion charm. When the adrenaline soars, it is not difficult to find that Hollywood values are their narrative strategy.
It can be said that this movie does not use Captain Philip’s true deeds to show the United States’ combat power against Somali pirates, but rather directly shows the United States’ importance to the lives of every American citizen. Such an emphasis has never been taken from the perspective of money. measure. The humanitarian spirit of the film is fully embodied in the chain of climax events, and there is no preaching element at all. If someone is worried that the pirates will be so "devilish" after watching a movie, it would be better to say that no matter what the situation, the United States has shown its determination to fight terrorism and anti-piracy and spared no effort to implement it, which will make the pirates timid.
When we are faced with many real heroic deeds, how to judge whether they can be adapted into a movie script is not particularly easy, but the narrative strategies of "Saving Private Ryan", "Escape from Tehran" and "Captain Philip" are very close. Both group portraits and individuals are highlighted. More importantly, such a film needs a more open atmosphere of political issues. The film can discuss the terrorist roots of "Somali pirates", and it also points out the confrontation between small African countries and developed countries such as the United States. The problem is that even the little pirate leader Muse said that his ideal was to buy a car in New York, and that he was eventually arrested and sent to the United States for trial and stayed here to serve his sentence. The opposite of the movie is very clear, so it can show its values to the utmost. Films such as "The Hurt Locker" and "Green Zone" are obviously different, and they remain relatively skeptical about the objects they oppose. In short, after watching this movie, it improved the relationship between me and my dad. Just like when we watched "Saving Private Ryan" together, we had a chat with our enemies.
