Power Politics

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2013)

So, America is this powerful, rich, great country full of educated people with humanity, and this little third-world poor country, Somalia, is just so uncivilized, so pathetic, therefor they are dirty and ugly, they have to have big yellow teeth, and they are cruel, they are disordered, they are just doomed to be so hateful?! What the F is this! Just because you are powerful, so you can manipulate the poor however you want?! Make yourself a hero, and other people just a bunch of rats? I really felt so shameful for this movie. Yes, I know "its based on true story". BlaBlaBla I just hate you rape people all over to make yourself look so good. My heart hurts for Somalia. Remember this conversation: -Captain Philips: "it shouldn't be like that way, you must have other things to do" -Poor Somalian:"maybe in America, maybe in America."
Go check out those poor Somalia actors, their IMDb page is as empty as mine. Captain Philips probably is the biggest and only movie in their lives. But think about how their people would think of them in Somalia??..oh maybe not, they are too poor to afford a movie theater. Don't get me wrong, I love the US, I just hate politics too much.
All in all, from a filmmaking's perspective, it is a great movie. But if you hate hegemonies and power politics like I do, don't go see it and get upset. Make a donation to Somalia instead. Remember, they didn't want to be poor, they didn't want to kill anyone, they had no choice. They really were just fishermen. (I am posting this to IMDb right now, I hope your powerful country would not reject my post!)
