Da, dobar film ali naravno holivudski neke stvari su malo drugačije prikazane nego što jesu, pretežno oko toga da je Phillips prikazan kao heroj.
Baš sam isto tako čitao poslije filma koliko su stvari istinite.
Captain Phillips True Story vs Movie - Real Captain Richard PhillipsIma zanimljivih detalja, nekih istinitih, nekih ne.
Samo par ukratko:
- Did Captain Phillips volunteer to sacrifice himself to save the lives of his crew?The real Captain Phillips never offered to give himself up for his crew. He was already a hostage. Like in the movie, Phillips says he went down to the lifeboat to help the pirates get it started. It was then that they reneged on their deal to release Phillips for Muse, keeping the Captain on board the lifeboat after the crew had released Abduwali Abdukhadir Muse. To that end, some of the crew members see Phillips as more the victim of a botched exchange, rather than the sacrificial hero that the media made him out to be.
"We vowed we were going to take it to our grave," says the Maersk Alabama's Chief Engineer Mike Perry. "We weren't going to say anything, and then we hear this PR stuff coming out about him giving himself up, and he's still hostage. The whole crew's like, 'What!?' Everybody's in shock." -CNN
- Did Captain Phillips really say, "If you want to shoot somebody, shoot me!"?No. The real Captain Richard Phillips never offered to give up his own life for his crew.
- Do the crew members of the Maersk Alabama believe that Captain Phillips is a hero?No, the majority of them do not believe that Captain Richard Phillips is a hero. In fact, due to the decisions made by Captain Phillips, 11 of the crew members have sued Maersk Line and the Waterman Steamship Corp. for nearly $50 million, citing "willful, wanton and conscious disregard for their safety." They believe that it is the Captain's recklessness that steered the Maersk Alabama into pirate infested waters.
