Captain Phillips

Sunday night we went to see the movie Captain Phillips.  How can this kind of thing happen?  Pirates in the 21st century?  After seeing the movie, it is easy to see how they still exist.

The movie was excellent!  Tom Hanks was amazing, the Somali actors were scary, the script was gripping.

Once I came home, I wanted to read more about the Captain.  I was stunned with what I read.  Apparently he is not the brave, thoughtful captain that is portrayed in the movie.  Apparently, he disregarded much of the intelligence and information that could have prevented the whole situation.  How disappointing!  It sounds as if he is no Sully.

The movie is still worth seeing . . . just know that Captain Phillips is not exactly as he seems!
