Captain Phillips

I liked how the movie'a setting and characters were almost completely accurate.  The film makers did a really good job in creating tention and I was off the edge of my seat when the pirates got involved.  I think Tom Hanks did a respectable job in playing captain phillips but he might have exaggerated a couple of things that might of actually not been true such as getting beat up in the life boat.  The moral of the story to me was that no matter what, the U.S. will never negotiate with terrorist and pirates.  The Navy acted fast and got in position to kill the pirates and they did.  Captain phillips was probably not the smartest captain in terms of staying away from the pirate invested waters.  Looking at it from the pirates prospective I believe the pirates had no other options to make money because most of the workers on the coast were fisherman and because of the polluted water the fish were not good to eat.  The people of Somalia had to turn to piracy in order to make money.
