Ok... I'll admit it... I had tears in my eyes when I watched The Perfect Storm!
Of course I heard about the tragedy when it happened. I watched the news, interviews, read the book, ... It was just a terrible thing!
Then... I went to see the movie - after it had been out for a while. I thought they did a good job with it.
But... what really got me was, while waiting to go into the theatre, I heard overheard a conversation. Sometihng to the effect of:
Person 1) Have you seen it yet?
Person 2) Nope.
Person 1) It's good. This is my 3rd time seeing it.
Person 2) Don't tell me how it ends then!
Person 1) Ok.
Not believing what I had just heard… I casually turned to them and said sometihng like, "This is based on a true story. Those men actually lost their lives." To which they replied, "Really?"
Since this is long already, I won't even tell you how I felt when, after the movie, people just got up and walked out, chit-chatting as usual… Like they had just watched Star Wars or something.
Thanks for "listening!"
Regards,
Rob
