Captain Phillips

The atmosphere of the environment is well shaped, and the whole story is full of exciting atmosphere, especially the soundtrack, which is well done. It is really an excellent movie to watch casually, but this is the plot-this is still an adaptation of real life. How come I feel a bit idiot—in that dangerous sea, this promised ship has no arms, a life-deserving security guard, and a gun. Even if it is unarmed, such a large ship has been hijacked by a few pirates in a small boat... It looks like a movie similar to the White House crisis. Anyone can occupy the White House. This big cargo ship is just Let a skinny pirate be occupied. But that's good, the idiot's being hijacked only accounts for a short period of the plot, and the next hour is about the two parties' confrontation. So in the end I still scored 7 points for this film.

If this movie is changed to a pirate, with a minimal number of pirates, it looks a bit mighty, plus a little bit of wisdom to kill some hostages, then this movie can be justified.

The protagonist's later collapse (who wanted to write to his family with a dead heart) was unclear, and his previous performance was somewhat calm.
The actor's acting skills turned out to be only shown in the last-minute crying scene.

Captain Phillips quotes

  • UKMTO Officer: Maersk Alabama, you should alert your crew, get your fire hoses ready, and follow lockdown procedures.

    Captain Richard Phillips: Yeah. Is that it?

    UKMTO Officer: I'm relaying your transmission now, but chances are it's just fishermen.

    Captain Richard Phillips: They're not here to fish.

  • Captain Richard Phillips: Listen up. We have been boarded by four armed pirates. You know the drill. We stay hidden no matter what. I don't want any hostages. We stay locked down until help arrives. No one comes out until you hear the non-duress password from me which is "suppertime."

    Maersk Alabama Crewman: Jesus.

    Captain Richard Phillips: If the pirates find you, remember, you know this ship. They don't. Make them feel like they're in charge but keep them away from the important things like the generator and the engine controls. Stick together... and we'll be all right. Good luck.
