At 77 years old I was amazed at what he went through to make this movie. Other than him reading a letter in a voice-over the beginning, I believe he says one word in the entire movie. It's just him and the ocean--trying to survive. I was impressed. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-7038591986090691812014-03-14T16:01:25.637-04:002014-03-14T16:01:25.637-04:00This movie is the kind I'd like to see in a th...This movie is the kind I'd like to see in a theater. It deserves to be seen on a big screen. I know that the lifeboat is on display, but I don't remember where in Florida. It's probably not close enough for me to see it. While they were shooting the lifeboat scenes, since the "lifeboat" was a model built to scale, they were really packed in there and crew members got seasick and puked on Tom Hanks.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-71450329628620406502014-03-14T15:57:53.071-04:002014-03-14T15:57:53.071-04:00I hope you like it.

I felt for the crew and especially the very brave, Captain Phillips. The lifeboats scenes were absolutely claustrophobic and I could feel the terror he must have gone through. Did you know that the real lifeboat is on display in Florida? Complete with bullet holes..yikes. I have a friend who visited it and she sent me pictures. Wow. Good recommendation and I agree, screen before letting kids watch. Great review. <br /><br />Steph Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422621091734734309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-47600578326941363542014-03-14T13:22:18.940-04:002014-03-14T13:22:18.940-04:00A good movie based on an actual incident but not r...A good movie based on an actual incident but not riveted to the truth.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-87876728139774153892014-03-14T13:15:18.163-04:002014-03-14T13:15:18.163-04:00Tom Hanks is an excellent actor.

Who else could have pulled off an entire feature-length film with almost no dialogue for the entire middle section? He's brilliant. We were at a water park and the waves came on and there I was, out there in the middle of the water yelling, "WILSON!" Phil just looked at me like I was nuts. But then again, I probably am. Looking forward to this one, even if Wilson makes no appearance.<br /><br />-andiandi filantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046051034556807447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-41881597569881125822014-03-14T08:47:11.369-04:002014-03-14T08:47:11.369-04:00Plus, I'm sure Tom worked out and Matthew prob...Plus, I'm sure Tom worked out and Matthew probably didn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-24494364277875567952014-03-14T01:19:29.457-04:002014-03-14T01:19:29.457-04:00I don't think it's cerebral.

Like you, I had already heard the basics, knew the outcome, and yet I was drawn into the tension and fear of the loose cannon pirates. I don't know how they did it, but they made you feel like you were going through this with Tom Hanks/Captain Phillips. Just excellent acting and editing and directing, I guess. Those last few minutes of the movie with Captain Phillips right after he was rescued--excellent! I actually felt the shock and relief!! Very good movie. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-46185639922760404082014-03-13T22:34:23.961-04:002014-03-13T22:34:23.961-04:00I was going to say that it sounds like a "guy...I was going to say that it sounds like a "guy film" (what's the opposite of a chick flick?)

It's very good. Jared and Matthew lost a lot of weight. Matthew still looks very thin. Tom Hanks lost even more weight though (51 lbs., I think) for Castaway. When Matt Damon was in one of his first movies, he lost so much weight to play an addict that he became ill.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-14808814297059657682014-03-13T21:03:02.985-04:002014-03-13T21:03:02.985-04:00See... and a friend of mine said it was too cerebr...See... and a friend of mine said it was too cerebral for her. To be honest, I'll not likely see it, even though I do really like Hanks. Incidentally, I did see DBC... really good. And while I agree Jared's performance was good, Matthew's was also good.
