Captain Phillips Movie Review

Captain Phillips Movie Review

As you may know, the movie Captain Phillips is a movie based on real events. It is based off the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama and the capture of it's captain, Richard Phillips by Somali pirates. From what the real Captain Phillips tells us, it is very accurate to what actually happened. It is real how the pirates took the captain hostage, and how they took off in a life boat with him. The only thing that doesn't match up with what the real captain tells us is, he says that he is NOT a hero, even though the movie portrays him as one.

The actors played the part quite well, and the quality was also very good. Because of these facts and high points, I rate it 4 1/2 stars.

  1. I watched this movie a few weeks ago. I agree, it was so good. Action packed and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I love Tom Hanks and think he is an amazing actor. Mrs.Goins

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
