Paul Greengrass, the prolific director of the films “Captain Phillips” and “United 93,” is not shy about calling out the dangers of rising populist politics in Europe and the United States. Greengrass joins “Salon Talks” to discuss his new Netflix film “22 July,” which tells the story of Norway’s most horrific terror attack that left 77 dead in 2011 at the hands of right-wing extremist Anders Breivik. When talking about the film, Greengrass denounced current right-wing extremism. The Academy Award nominee explained, “Young people in large numbers are being drawn to alternatives. Some of which lie within democratic norms but towards the right-hand edge, but some of which, for sure, lie well outside.” The fear of ideologies like Breivik’s invading the mainstream is partially what drove Greengrass to make “22 July.” “These arguments that he articulated, and we show in the film, that he used in his trial, and were on the margins in 2012, now are in the mainstream,” Greengrass said. Greengrass emphasized the importance of shedding light on shifting global politics. “This narrative of betrayal and rage is driving everything before it in our democracies and that is very, very troubling.” --- About “Salon Talks” Hosted by Salon journalists, “Salon Talks” episodes offer a fresh take on the long-form interview format, and a much-needed break from the partisan political talking heads that have come to dominate the genre. “Salon Talks” is a destination for information through conversation.

In 2009, the first pirate attack on an American cargo ship in 200 years took place. The Mv MAERSK Alabama was boarded by armed Somalians who took Captain Richard Phillips hostage. Director Paul Greengrass' tense adaptation of these circumstances is a relentless white-knuckler, managing to keep the audience in suspense even though the outcome is assured. Tom Hanks is in top form as the heroic captain, a man who is constantly engaged in a battle of wits with his captors. He is not an action movie hero Hollywood is used to feeding us. Here is a man who is stripped of any physical ability to defend himself or his crew. His attempts to outsmart the invading pirates do little other than buy him time. But it is valiant of him to even try to save himself and his crew. "Captain Phillips" is a portrait of courage as much as it is a topical thriller. Barkhad Abdi burns up the screen in the pivotal role of the pirate leader. The film is top-notch in every respect, and also nominated for Best Picture at this year's Oscars.

What do we want from the movies we see? Judging from the global box office returns the answer is escapism, superheroes and awesome special effects. But that's not how all A-list Hollywood directors make their name. Hardtalk speaks to Paul Greengrass who makes taut, tense films that aren't always easy to watch. His biggest hits were the Bourne movies starring Matt Damon, his most intense film was probably United 93, based on the events of 9/11, and his new release is about Somali pirates. How does he juggle truth, art and entertainment?
There are very few experiences in a movie theater that are more fun than watching Tom Hanks be Tom Hanks. Director Paul Greengrass has teamed up with America's favorite actor to bring us a based-on-a-true-story thriller about a cargo ship getting hijacked by Somali pirates. Join us as we go in-depth and discuss Captain Phillips as well as Ant-Man/Marvel's Cinematic Universe, The Wolf of Wall Street, and our favorite awards show hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
