Review of the movie " The Perfect Storm"


I was watching "The Perfect Storm" last night. The tail end where the fishing boat" Andrea Gail" tries to rise over a fifty foot wave. It goes close to the top and flips over. This is the fishing boat that looked like a shrimp boat which didn't want to give up the fight to stay alive. The movie shows one person making it to the top of the waters while he watches his captain and the ship with the rest of his crew mates sink to the bottom of the ocean. The guy above the water goes down eventually. He gives a little speech on how he loves his wife and there is an image of her as he states his undying love. The movie portrayed the captain as someone who would gamble his life and the life of his crew just to bring in a load of fish. The captain tried to turn the boat around to get to safety after about loosing the boat. He wasn't willing to give up when the crew wanted to go home. He bullied the crew by telling them they weren't men, if they didn't stick out the rough weather. It was a good movie, but I didn't want to see the encore presentation. Once a night is enough.

    I liked the movie The Perfect Storm. I liked George Clooney in it. The actor that I liked best in the movie was John Reiley who played the character Murph. He is the character who is divorced and has a son. When he comes into port he gives most all of his money to his ex-wife. At the end of the movie while trapped in the overturned boat with another crewman he says that this will be hard on his son. A nice movie and I have seen it numerous times and have it on video tape so that I can watch it more numerous times again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Reilly Lew
