Simple plot, shocking process

This is a very good drama in recent years. The prototype of the story is the real event of Somali pirates who failed to rob an American ship and were killed. The plot of the story is very tight and makes me feel nervous at times while watching it. Tom Hanks plays the wise and experienced captain, who uses strategy and courage to deal with the challenges of pirates. And Hanks' superb acting skills also fully demonstrated the character's inner activities and the psychological state of the rest of his life.
At the same time, I also admired the selected actors who played the pirates in this film. I don't know much about the culture of the Somali region, but as an outsider, as a moviegoer, I think these actors have also done a good job of expressing the tragic plight of forced pirate fishermen living in Somalia. When Captain Philip tried to convince the pirate chief Muse to surrender, he said: "You are not a fishman. You are not a fishman." He tried to tell the Muse "You can not be a pirate, you are not bad, you can do something else Things." But the Muse could only say helplessly: "Maybe in the United States. Maybe in the United States." Seeing this, I feel emotional for these pirates. Somalia's backward economic situation and chaotic political situation have forced them, ordinary fishermen, to fall into this dangerous life of robbery. They did not choose life, but life made them choose.
The most exciting part of the film is the fierce ideological struggle or ideological confrontation that took place on the narrow lifeboat, which made me feel very enjoyable.

    The end of the Mi Di army was doomed. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. The pirates were only the difference between dying early and dying late. It was difficult to make any drama. So in order to create a tense atmosphere in the enclosed space, I did a little deliberately, especially the arguing between the pirates from time to time, coupled with shaking shots, it is a headache.

    The main theme of the old American movie, but it looks very exciting, the Somali pirates are all so good in English. . .
