Perfect storm, perfect life

If I didn’t like George Clooney very much, I wouldn’t buy his compact disc. If I didn’t buy his compact disc, I might have missed this good-looking movie "Perfect Storm".

At the beginning of the movie, it was said that it was filmed based on real events, so my heart has been hanging from the beginning. The story is very simple. It is about a fishing boat that encountered a storm while fishing, and was finally engulfed by the storm. It has always been Hollywood's strength to truly restore such disaster scenes. Unfortunately, I watched the discs at home with simple equipment. If this film is watched in a movie theater, it should have a stronger shocking effect.

In fact, what I like is the attitude of life shown in the film. The end of most people's lives can be indicated by a plain period, and some people can use an ellipsis, but only a very small number of people can end with an exclamation point. George Clooney played this kind of very few people, the captain of this fishing boat, a man who regarded the sea as his home. Like the captain's description of sailing and fishing, it must be a very happy thing for a person to turn one's hobbies into a career. A senior captain who can memorize nautical charts certainly understands the danger he will face better than anyone else, but he still enjoys it. Life is originally a gamble. There is no so-called heroism complex. It is enough to be able to face one's own choices calmly, to do everything, and to obey the fate.

I really like some scenes in the movie. For example, the fishing boat is driving in the blue sky and blue sea. For example, the crew seals the big fish caught in the cabin with ice.

Especially at the end of the film, all the people in the town cherish the memory of the six missing crew members in the church, and the background voice is still the dialogue of the crew members fighting against the disaster in the stormy sea, not complaining to each other, but encouraging and comforting each other. Gamble and lose. Even if this bet is life. This kind of treatment makes people feel that they are always alive.

    When I watched it in the cinema, I thought it looked better than the day after tomorrow. There are many elements of family, friendship and love in the disaster story.

    Fighting with the sea is always a man's proudest dream. Although the film ends in gray at the end, those brave men deserve to be put on the screen.

The Perfect Storm quotes

  • Linda Greenlaw: [warning Billy over the radio] Billy? Get outta there! Come about! Let it- let it carry you out of there! What the hell are you doing? Billy! For Christ sake! You're steaming into a bomb! Turn around for Christ sake! Billy, can ya hear me? You're headed right for the middle of the monster! Billy?...

    [starts crying]

    Linda Greenlaw: ... Oh, my God!

  • Linda Greenlaw: [at the services for the crew of the Andrea Gail] I knew Billy Tyne, but I did not know his crew very well, but any man who sailed with him, must have been the better for it. Robert Shatford, Dale Murphy, Micheal Moran, David Sullivan, Alfred Pierre... May you rest easy long-liners, in fair winds, and calm seas... For those of us left behind, the vast unmarked grave which is home for those lost at sea is no consolation. It can't be visited, there is no headstone on which to rest a bunch of flowers... The only place we can revisit them, is in our hearts, or in our dreams. They say swordboatmen suffer from a lack of dreams, that's what begets their courage... Well we'll dream for you: Billy, and Bobby, and Murph, Bugsy, Sully, and Alfred Pierre... Sleep well... Good Night...
