Absolute five stars for Tom Hanks

I don't know much about professional film terms or the techniques used when making films. I can only say that for this movie, my viewing effect is very good. Whether it is a shaking lens or a rapidly changing line of sight, it makes me feel immersive and very touching.
Somali pirates, we only saw it in the news. To paraphrase a line from "Rwanda Hotel": This news appears for a few seconds, and then people will continue to talk about their weather.
Phillips is also an ordinary person, but because he is the captain, he has encountered pirates again. I have to say that Tom Hanks has great acting skills. He accurately expressed all the emotions of such a captain: fear, anxiety, determination, sacrifice, wisdom, nervousness... and so on.
He wants to live, but he wants others to live even more. The reason why the pirates only hijacked him and left without harming others, it can almost be said that most of the credit is Phillips. After he was kidnapped, he did what he did bravely. He seized the opportunity to run away, calling for help, resisting, rather than just waiting to die. In the end, the navy that looked awesome finally hit the pirates.

When I saw the end, I was still thinking about whether I would score four stars or five stars for this movie. But I was completely shocked by Tom Hanks' acting after being rescued. He choked and said, I'm ok. He didn't speak very sharply. He tremblingly pointed to his side and told the doctor that it hurts. The first time he asked his family how was it, he cried bitterly until the end... This kind of complex aftermath Feelings, although I can't feel it, I can feel a bit from his performance.
The very good thing is that these Somali pirates in the movie are not blindly "bad guys." We hated them, and the soldiers finally killed them. But at the beginning of everything, they were to eat, not to be controlled by the boss, and to survive. This makes me especially lamented. It's not that they shouldn't die after doing these things, but that they sigh.

    It's unremarkable, and it's not as good as the repeat of National Geographic. I am afraid that the budget will be sucked up by the rent of the big props.

    At least better than "Escape from Tehran"

Captain Phillips quotes

  • 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.

  • Captain Richard Phillips: There's gotta be something other than being a fisherman and kidnapping people.

    Muse: Maybe in America, Irish. Maybe in America.
