Movie Review Prep

1. Who are the main characters you would expect to see in the movie, based on the real life events?
I would most importantly expect to see Captain Phillips as well as the Somali pirates, his boss, the coworkers on his ship, chief engineer Mike Perry and Captain Larry Aasheim

2. Briefly, in 2-3 paragraphs, tell me what you expect the plot to be in the movie, based on the real life events?
I will expect the movie to be about the invasion of the MV Maersk. Most likely a first person point of view of Captain Phillip's journey through the event with distorted opinions and experiences.

3. Why was this story important?
It displays the heroic acts of the earlier Captain Phillips as part of a movie based on real life events. In addition to that, it raised more awareness towards the incident.

For personal growth, in need of its supposed treasure (supplies, money, etc.) to quickly gain with risk.

4/5 The Guardian:
"I can't imagine anyone other than Greengrass handling this material, the story seemingly tailormade for his trademark blend of political clout, dramatic punch, thespian wallop and broad audience appeal."
An unforgettable piece but context-less and created issues for the country's security.
