Captain Philip's behind-the-scenes tidbits

This film is based on the real events that happened in 2009. This is the first time in nearly 200 years that an American ship has been hijacked by pirates. Richard phillips wrote his story of being kidnapped by pirates as a memoir "The Duties of a Captain", which was published in 20 10, and was bought by Sony shortly after publication. Paul greengrass gave up directing the sports biographical film "Blast" and chose this film. In order to find several main actors who play Somali pirates, the film recruits actors from all over the world. More than 700 people participated in the audition on the Cedar River in Minnesota, USA. It was not until the pirates boarded the cargo ship in the film that Hanks first met the actor who played pirates. The director arranged this in order to create tension between the two sides. The film was shot on the coast of Malta (Mediterranean) and lasted for nine weeks. A container ship named Alexander Maersk is regarded as the body double of Maersk Alabama in the film. The passage of the film Lifeboat was shot in the real sea. Many staff members vomited because of seasickness. Because the space in the boat is too small, they often vomit on Hanks. At the end of the film, the female soldier who examines Phillips is played by Danielle Albert, who is a real medical worker in the US Navy. This scene is also not in the script, and it was staged by the two on the basis of the normal inspection process. In a scene in the shipborne combat information center, an officer wrote the words "seat 15" backwards on the information board. This is not in the script. Photographer Ecloud accidentally noticed a staff sergeant writing backwards and asked him to do the same in the movie. In fact, the US Navy has always had the tradition of writing backwards. The soundtrack of this film was written by henry jackman. However, there are rumors that the director greengrass is not satisfied with him, and later Al Clay and Jack dormann joined the rewriting work of Hans Zimmer and others.
