not bad

If you are a captain, you must first protect your crew and cargo. When danger comes, you need not only calmness, but also courage. They are looking at you, you are their brain.

Greengrass's accustomed hand-held lens is already innocent in "Captain Philip". As a film adapted from real events, although the ending has been set without suspense, it is the excellent pirate game atmosphere that has achieved the level. Layers advance, so that the ambition of the film is far more than the American hero of the main theme.

Although there is no surprise that makes me quite excited, the standard of the film is quite high, and Hanks and Greengrass are playing steadily. Successfully avoid the gray and boredom caused by seriousness, which is often committed in this type of subject matter. I was worried about the length of the opening, but it was straight to the point and the rhythm was right. A sense of blockbuster shots at medium cost. At the end, the ruthless record of the scene and the emotional touch of the finishing touch can make up for the strange IQ of the military and the bandit.

After reading through the original story and some details, the adaptations of the film are relatively unreal. But Hanks’ acting skills are really great, focusing on the last ten minutes of the film. Overall it is a good movie.

    The photography is very good. It gives the audience an immersive feeling. In addition, the director has always used the noisy quarrels between pirates as the BGM, and I really feel seasick before watching it. . The United States’ view of the savior looking down on other citizens is really annoying. Is it seriously mismatched with the last stupid rescue method? . If it weren't for the pirates, they would be kinder. This story teaches us that the hostages have to catch two, and we can bring a knife at hand so that we can use scrape to control the pace of negotiation at any time~

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.
