From the perspective of the Somali people/pirates

Muse is portrayed as a very mindful, calm and hesitant person. A very charming character.


Those lines that touched me:

Muse kept repeating "everything gonna be ok". This is probably what he said to himself.
"I come too far. I can't give up."

and the huge difference between the first world and the third world
"I always wanted to go America. Go to New York, buy a car...
"There's gotta be something else other than being a fisherman and kidnapping people.
Maybe in America. Maybe in America
.


I remember that I did a ppt about Somali pirates in the 11th grade. In
addition to the unique interpretation of these pirates in this movie today, the behavior of the US military in the film, and then think about the influence of big countries on many small third world countries.
The pirates may be forced by helplessness.

It really touches me a lot~
