Seems to be a huge feud between the crew and the Captain of what really happened?

I just watched Captain Phillips on Reelz and it's pretty much shitting all over the movie.

Nope. The movie isn't 100% accurate, but the real Phillips has never claimed to be a hero.

ETA: Here's a rundown.

Dude, why? So is it 99% accurate?

Sounds more like its 100% false. I understand movies that are "based" on real life events.

Thanks for the link though. I'll check it out.

I think they call this "inspired by true events."

I get it. They are plenty of movies that are fiction that can do this.

Phillips is going around public speaking and getting paid massive amounts of money to do so when there is a lot of speculation that he threw his crew under the bus.

Did that sniper at least nail that badass shot in real life?

i think that part is true about taking all 3 pirates down at the same time.

the fourth was on the destroyer already trying to get medical attention to the cut on his hand and he's rotting in jail right now.

He's never claimed he is a hero. That was the news media and Hollywood. His book is honest about what happened on the boat. Not even the link I gave you above claims he has made himself out to be a hero.

I do know the pirates were like 15, 16 instead of the grown men portrayed in the film.

The article linked said the family of the one surviving pirate tried to say he was under 18 so he would be tried as a juvenile, but he finally admitted to being older

real life isn't as entertaining as fiction. That's why no one pays you $10 to follow you around for 2 hours.
