In the last scene with the Navy Corpsman she actually did that for her job. They found her, and the film makers told her to do what she would normally do in that kind of situation. And Tom Hanks worked off of her lead. Just awesome!

You can tell she wasn’t acting, was a nice touch

That scene gets me every time. Her calm demeanor and the waves of relief just coming over Tom Hanks, that must have been just how it felt to hear a comforting American voice again.

In an interview Tom Hanks said that he and the other actors had not seen the Somalians until they stormed in yelling at the top of their lungs. He said that they were the skinniest, scariest men he had ever seen, and he wasn't acting. Then when the scene was cut, the main guy smiled at up and said to him "Hey, Forrest Gump"!! What a fantastic movie!!

I wonder how much trauma he has considering how real the end of the movie was where he’s in shock, I mean “real” in the aspect they had real EMTs treating him for the scene and he really did seem to be in shock from getting so deep in the character. Then you hear him talk about Saving Private Ryan and how obviously he had an idea of what was gonna happen on the opening scene on the beach, but he’s said how once they were actually going and all these peoples arms were getting blown off and shit it felt pretty real bc there’s no way to really run through that before hand like I’m pretty sure the first time they filmed was the first time he was actually seeing all that shit. It’s easy to go “oh it’s just a movie” but when you have people who really take it seriously it can really affect them. I know that kid from the naked brothers band who was the older brother in Hereditary, was in therapy for years after that role maybe he still even is. And I totally get it like getting into a role that dark has to have an affect on your psyche when you’re showing up day after day slipping into that mindset

That scene at the end with Tom Hanks and the female Navy Corpsman is just pure magic, with equal props to both of them, and the director. From what I've read, Tom Hanks did his thing, and the woman playing the corpsman was an actual military medic or some sorts (and not an actor at all) and was told just to treat Tom Hanks as she would any traumatized victim, and the result is absolutely amazing. Tom Hanks' heartbreaking performance in contrast with her cool, calm and reassuring demeanor is just a bewildering mix, and I don't know that I've ever seen a better scene.

Tom Hanks deserves all the praise for his role, but Barkhad Abdi, in his film debut, showed so much range and control in this performance. He was menacing, intimidating, and still valuable and empathetic within the role. Tom Hanks, moment at the end, wouldn't have hit as hard if it hasn't for him.

Oh I remember watching this movie in the theater when it was first released. I actually went to the theater with my grandma and sister like we sometimes do. But this was the only movie my grandpa stayed to watch with us. Normally he would drop us off and pick us up, because he doesn't like going to the movies. But he used to work on ships his entire life before retiring, obviously knew about captain phillips and has his own (small) sailing yacht. He still works in the local yacht harbor to maintain ship engines or other machinery. Even though he is 84 years old right now. Such an incredible movie especially considering it really happened. And really cool to relive this memory of the movie through your reaction. While also learning about filming perspectives etc. Like the claustrophobic feel it has, I never realized that 10 years ago. Not only because I was 14 years old then, but also because I only learned looking at things like that through your reactions. Probably going to rewatch this movie with my grandpa now. He even looks kind of similar to captain phillips.

If I’m not mistaken, Khat is a stimulant with similar effects to meth or coke. It gives you energy and allows you to stay awake for longer periods of time while staying alert, gives a euphoric feeling, suppresses your appetite, but eventually when you come down you kinda crash. Has side effects like irritability, mood swings, paranoia, insomnia, depression, very similar to meth. Probably has some similar psychoactive compounds as meth, hence the similar effects. I don’t think they’re the same since khat is naturally occurring while meth is synthetic, just very similar in the compounds produced and how the body reacts to, and processes, those compounds.

@shocbomb23 Жыл бұрын

It's probably been answered a handful of times but I don't feel like scrolling through all the comments. Khat is a drug mostly abused in East Africa / Arabian Peninsula. It's a dried leaf that when chewed produces a euphoric stimulant like effect. AKA meth light in leaf form. BTW like always hell of a reaction / review

The only reason we even have/had somali pirates is because fishermen from other countries, european and asian iirc, fished their waters empty, so the fishermen had no way to make a living or get food. it started off more as a coast guard but there was so much money in grabbing ships that they turned to that. Edit: So tbh i can't even really blame them for what they're doing.

@oliverlane9716 Жыл бұрын

In addition a massive amount of pollution also happened in their waters. There's no real government in Somalia so the maritime would ignored all the laws in their waters and destroyed them. And yes at first it was seen by Somalis as just a toll, not much different to what you pay to travel through the Suez canal.

I was a US Navy Corpsman for 8 years and a corpsman I worked for was on the USS Boxer at the time, the amphibious carrier in the operation. Allegedly the way this went down was total propaganda. Again, take this with a grain of salt the size of a Volkswagen. He said what really happened was the SEALs approached the lifeboat underwater undetected with the use of re breather apparatuses and sprayed the lifeboat with whatever sub machine guns the teams were using at the time (MP5s maybe?). The sniper sync shot was concocted for whatever reason, maybe recruiting purposes. Idk though, regardless whatever they did was totally badass.
