Movie Prep

1. Who are the main characters you would expect to see in the movie, based on the real life events?
The Crew 
Larry Aasheim 
Hamac 
Richard Phillips 
Ali Aden Elmi 
Frank  Castellano 

2. Briefly, in 2-3 paragraphs, tell me what you expect the plot to be in the movie, based on the real life events?
I would expect the plot to be about an American Cargo ship that was attacked by Somali Pirates. I suspect that the movie would follow the plot line very closely with the crew members staying in the engine room and exchanging one of the pirates. I would also expect Phillips story of how he was taken by the pirates on the life boat and how he managed with that. I would also expect to see the crime scene and how other authorities are involved before they found Phillip.

3. Why was this story important?
The story was important because the events that took place were not very common before especially in the United states. 

4. Why did the pirates try to take the ship?
I think they wanted the cargo and then money for themselves.
