Continuing our film this week: Captain Philip
The kidnapper story made me think about saving my husband. The pacing of the narrative and the shaping of the characters (especially the kidnappers) determine the success or failure of this type of film. From this perspective, both films are successful. At the same time, the background of Captain Philip is the Somali pirates who always affect the world's nerves, so the pattern and space of the theme are larger.
A few lines of dialogue explain the impression this movie gave me very well
# You should be out there earning money. This is what the minions of the pirate warlord say to the "fishermen".
The first ten minutes of the film present the ecology of pirates. Pirates are not a small group of isolated and gathered life-threatening people, but an organizational form driven by warlords and ordinary people as tools of robbery. Ordinary people are contradictory to the job of pirates. They don't want to fight and kill, but they are forced to make a living and rely on them to make a fortune. Caught between the warlord and the "prey", he acts as an exploited and vicious thug. This is also a cognitive iteration. Think of Japanese pirates and Viking pirates, which should probably be the case.
In addition, the process of pirates attacking merchant ships in the movie is also very exciting. A small boat with a few people conquered a huge freighter with dozens of strong men.
Does it look familiar? There is a huge size and number of people, and there is no combat capability of the same level. In the war, it is "like a sticker to sell a head." Every time I hear a similar point of view, "How can a small country in Zuoer eat up my vast empire?" It is useless to rely on the National University and a large number of people, it is necessary to rely on the important weapons and pillars of the country
# It was supposed to be easy, nobody got hurt. This is what Mu Si, the kidnapper's leader, said to the male protagonist.
When things got bigger and he was surrounded by the U.S. military, he knew that he had a high probability of dying. "I just want some money, I don't want to die, and I don't want to lose my life. How did this happen?" a sense of despair. The state of mind when the situation is out of control and the water is overwhelmed
# I got boss
This is what the kidnapper said to the hero.
The kidnappers said they had previously made a $6 million ransom bill.
The male protagonist asked, why do you still need to come out to make a living like this?
The kidnapper said the above sentence. It can be seen from this that the six million dollar ransom was basically taken away by the warlord chief, and the robber himself may not even be able to share the shrimp and still live at the bottom.
# Maybe in America
This is what the kidnapper said to the hero.
The male protagonist asked, why do you want to be a pirate? Life doesn't have to be just fishermen and pirates, right?
The kidnapper said, maybe in America?
An embarrassing question in the style of "Why don't the people eat minced meat?"
# finally
There are many people who walk on the edge of life and death just to make a living. This is the B-side of the world. Every time I see the B side, I look away briefly, feeling that the current troubles P are not counted
