quote
Christina: I'll be a sleep and all the sudden there he is, that big smile. You know that smile, and I say hey Bobby where you been, but he won't tell me, he just smiles and says remember Christina I'll always love you, I loved you the moment I saw you, I love you now, and I love you forever. There's no goodbyes, there's only love Christina only love. Then he's gone. But he's always happy when he goes so I know he's got to be ok absolutely ok.
Ethel: I love your dream.
Billy's voice: The fogs just lifting. Throw off you're battle line, throw off you're stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten pound island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow you're airhorn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island. Then the birds show up black backs, herring gulls, big dumb ducks. The sun hit ya , head North, open up to 12, steamin' now. The guys are busy, you're in charge. Ya know what? You're a goddam swordboat captain! Is there any thing better in the world?

| "More people die on fishing boats, per capita, than working in any other job in the U.S.. Every journey a fishing boat makes can be an all-or-nothing risk. It is life at its most exhilarating and its most terrifying," says director Wolfgang Petersen ("Das Boot"). And that's just what he captures in this true story of struggle and humanity aboard a swordfishing boat, the Andrea Gail, sailing out of Gloucester, Massachusetts, in late October, 1991. Early in Bill Wittliff's screenplay, based on Sebastian Junger's best-seller, we meet the crew of six. The veteran captain (George Clooney) is frustrated because he can't find fish on the Grand Banks, yet a rival skipper (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) brings in huge hauls. His right-hand man (Mark Walhberg) needs money to build a new life with his girl-friend (Diane Lane). There's a devoted dad (John C. Reilly) with an estranged wife and son, a free-spirited Jamaican (Allen Payne), a lonely guy (John Hawkes), and a last-minute replacement with a bad attitude (William Fichtner). The skipper's convinced he can change his bad luck streak in remote Flemish Cap, and he does. But then trouble begins. There's a rogue wave, a man overboard and the ice machine breaks - with 60,000 lb. of fish that could spoil. But that's minor compared with a deadly monster storm approaching which a Boston meteorologist describes as "a disaster of epic proportions" that also threatens the lives of a Coast Guard helicopter rescue team trying to save three people stranded on a sailboat on the high seas. It's formulaic and there are cliches, but the walls of water, created by fluid dynamics simulating real-life phenomena, are awesome. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "The Perfect Storm" is a terrifying, suspenseful 8. Hang on for the white-knuckle thrill ride of the summer!
