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.
