Next thing you know they'll be claiming PT109 was all a hoax.
I wondered about that - interestingly, there was a one hour documentary on this event over the weekend....I think the Military Channel - featuring the captain and about 3-4 crew members. I did not have a chance to watch it....
So the truth comes out...
more manufactured lies by Hollywood
Military Chanel had a segment on the Somalia pirates take down.
I don’t need another version, esp. Hollywood’s ‘based on a true story’ ‘story-telling’.
Eff Tom Spanx and the Spielberg he rode in on
Elitist progressive snots
Oh get real.
Everything that comes from Hollywood is 100% true & spin free
Since when has a lie stopped a Tom Hanks opus?
Next thing you know they'll be claiming PT109 was all a hoax.
In a long conversation I had with him he confirmed to me what really happened on board the Maersk Alabama...and it definitely wasn't the Hollywood version.
His best description of Capt. Phillips was that the man was a ..."dumbass"
and....Obama did NOT give the OK for the SEAL to make that shot.
The Navy Capt., as the on scene Commander, had the final determination, and made the call to take the shot.
AFTER the fact, the administration decided to capitalize on the results.
“Phillips said he knows nothing about such a plan”. The ‘plan’ is the Ship Security Plan (SSP), required on every ship by the ISPS Code. It MUST be read and acknowledged by the signature of the Master and Ship Security Officer (SSO) upon joining the ship. These two officers are they only persons allowed to hold the SSP.
And what of the crew who says that fire and boat drills are only carried out once per year? On every ship that I was Master of, these drills were done monthly, if not more often.
.......seen it all before, one participant get’s rich the others get $5,000. The one’s that got only $5,000 are pissed so they whine and cry.
In the end, like always, it’s all about money!
The ‘real’ captain claimed he was not nearly as pliant as the movie portrayed.
This seems to be a Hollywood version to history — long on drama, short on facts.
Never understood why the US government can drone Al-Qaeda members who can hide in Yemen but not Somalian pirates on a wide open ocean.
Look at a map and notice how close these countries are located to one another.
...known as a sullen and self-righteous captain.
Sure sounds like Tom Hanks.
Saving Private Ryan will be known as his last great film.
And what about the $30,000 that Stevens gave to the pirates? No mention of that in the movie. Allegedly, that money was NOT thrown overboard!
New movies coming out will demonstrate that our founding fathers were all slave holding selfish racist rich people who were terrorist malcontents. They will show that the United States was built by slaves and Native Americans who waited hand on foot on lazy racist white do-nothing pioneers... That Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and even Einstein were racists who stole all of their ideas from black people and a few Hispanics... These movies will show that it was actually a black gang member from Chicago who shot down the Red Baron with a well placed shot from a gold plated .45 while standing on the upper wing of his pimped out biplane... That Eisenhower's aid, Kay Summersby was not really English at all, but a black Marxist revolutionary woman from Mississippi and that she was the actual strategist behind the Normandy invasion.p>
So get ready for this new wave of Hollywood Movies based on actual events...
Next thing you know they’ll be saying that The Butler was one big fabrication.
Ping
In real life, his family fled war in Somalia and came to the U.S. when he was very young.
It was a very good movie, and if it is Hollywood revisionist BS just watch it with the mindset that it's fiction. But it was very well done and suspenseful .... and I generally dislike most of what Hollywood puts out.
