when i said 'Perfect-Storm' as a favorite movie, i don't mean that it was Entertaining; but you got to know the guys,,they all had personalitys (i like bugsy myself
)
you know after watching this movie, my dad and i decided to drive up to glouchester, mass where the "Andrea-Gail" left out of
went in that town hall, hundreds of names on the wall-- and that green statue of the helmsman at the wheel looking toward the ocean is just haunting.... awsome power of the ocean is not something to toy with.
I don't think they were wrong trying to go thru it, (72' steel boat) but maybe they should of waited, no amount of fish money is worth what happen to them guys...
it was a sad story.....but it is a "Good" movie to watch (not for joy) but to understand that the ocean is bigger then us all, and it don't play around...
I have pictures of my dad & i standing at that statue, also stading at the the former dock where the Andrea Gail was docked (not the safest dock) we also went by the "Crow's Nest" there is tons of pictures and rememberance plaques on the walls,, it isn't like in the movie tho, it's accross the street- the boat didn't dock right next to it........ Anyone been there?
------------------
on a much lighter note:
Goodfella's i by far my favorite movie; there is some graphic parts i shouldn't see at my age
but it's a great movie.
P.S. the patriot is another favorite of mine, My 3rd favorite
again, it's sort of based on true stories (Revolutionary war) and is hard to imagine those people really went thru all of that stuff,, but THIS MOVIE is a definet MUST WATCH! Mel Gibson is good in these kinds of Movies....
If you all liked "BraveHeart" you'll LOVE the patriot
Anyone seen it yet? been out for at least a year now...
