“Paul Greengrass’ ‘Captain Phillips’ is plainly one of the best films of the year,” Tapley wrote. “It’s the best work the director has offered to date and it features a detailed, ultimately emotional performance from Tom Hanks that is sure to draw kudos.”

Toussaint L'overture and Nat Turner's revolts were also true stories but I'm not seeing movies made of them. There is a white agenda in hollywood. Which is to make white people look good and to demonize black people.

You expect them to look like temptations circa 1964?

Why am I not surprised? Another person judging a movie before they even see it. Tom Hanks is a fantastic actor and Paul Greengrass is a good director.

why did they pick some no name dark skin nikkas who look like they've not seen a brush in their lives n give them some raggedy second hand clothes and AK47s?

So in a film based on a true story about Somali pirates. You want the Somali Pirates hijacking the ship to be portrayed as the good guys?

Because Somali Pirates don't wear Louis Vuitton.

You know what you are absolutely right. I mean there must be HUNDREDS of examples of this in film. Could you provide me a few or list such films so I can avoid them.
