@deanduncan63Saw #CaptainPhillips. Partly a good guy/bad guy movie, productively problematized by other/further binaries (north/south, have/haven’t).
#CaptainPhillips. Freshens the old White Heat/Strangers On a Train device of antagonists converging. This stark antagonism …
… is mitigated by a fair sketching of both sides’ contexts, a considerable procedural detailing of the way that both sides work.
#CaptainPhillips. US as the world’s commercial traveler, the world’s humanitarian, the world’s sheriff …
… Inspiring to see the US take care of its own! We might wonder if the US isn’t also something of a hog & a bully …
… sometimes. Piracy condemned/piracy explained.
#CaptainPhillips. It’s Greengrass-y, until the really stunning conclusion. Foes dispatched pitiably. Hanks & the nurse!!
