We literally stood on our broken porch thinking it was over while looking in the dark with flashlights at all the crap around us and then second half came and was worse than the first. I fell asleep during the second half out of pure fear & exhaustion. I distinctly remember my dad laid with me on my parents bed because I was terrified of the dark and there was no power. He kept making stupid jokes until I calm down and fell asleep. My mom, my godmother & godfather never went back to sleep as far as I know.

I've seen large aircraft carriers manuever pretty well, and while I agree smaller boats and trawlers can turn faster on a smaller radius, I'd much rather be on the Ronald Reagan in a hurricane then a boat like the Andrea Gail.

I met a captain who was shrimping in the Gulf when Katrina hit. All he could do to survive is go full power straight into the wind and the boat was constantly going backwards. There was a sister ship with them about 100 yds on the side. He said the waves were so high at times he did not see the other ship.

This movie and others like it (Fury, Rogue One, and 300) are my favorite. They give you a sense of hope that ultimately leads to the inevitable. It’s so real. This movie especially no matter how many times I watch it, and despite knowing what happens, I always have hope that they will make it.

George Clooney putting the boat’s engine into full throttle to climb that gigantic wave was the climax of their fight for survival. Their spirits and efforts were admirable but futile and it was disheartening to see them capsize and drown.

Debatable whether the boat would be split open, the ending of this film is basically Ernie Hazard's survivor account from the fishing boat Fairwind, which sank in a storm off George's Bank in 1980. The Fairwind was even smaller than the Andrea Gail and didn't split when it was pitch-poled by a rogue wave.

Watching that wave in cinema was terrifying

Pay attention to the dialogue. This is the perfect metaphor for marriage

I am now 64; and, ever since I was four or five, I've had a recurrent nightmare (the recurrences are sometimes separated by years) where I'm sitting on a beach, and suddenly look up to see an approaching wave surging towards me. Mine is MUCH bigger than "The Perfect Storm" version -- a thousand feet tall, at least. Movies like this one, "Deep Impact", "San Andreas", and "The Abyss" -- ANY film where a giant wave is part of the proceedings -- terrify me far more than any supernatural element ever does. Oddly enough, I've never been afraid of the water itself -- I've swum in pools, and in the sea, with perfect calm, as soon as I was old enough to walk. I expect that, if I ever DO die in a giant wave, my last seconds of life will be dominated by the thought: "So THIS is what it's all been leading up to." That said: everyone should remember that the rogue wave in "The Perfect Storm" was, and is, pure conjecture -- in reality, nobody knows HOW the "Andrea Gail" sank. I don't fault the filmmakers for making this film; but I can't help grieving for those who knew the real men in this story. Even though they obviously went to see the movie of their own free will, this scene must have caused them dreadful pain.

My dad was a fisherman. His all time favorite movie.

This movie is an example of a perfect movie, it’s not a smart movie but it’s perfect and totally engrossing.

The rogue wave is actually going the wrong way. They suddenly encounter the rogue wave as soon as they leave the eye and enter the eye wall, which is the most powerful part of a hurricane. The eye walls push massive waves AWAY from the rotating center, but in the movie the rogue wave was pushing them back TOWARDS the eye, which they just left. They eye would have also broken down and demolished the rogue wave. Also, when they are in the eye, the waters are calm, like the air, but the waves would still be chaotic because of the surrounding hurricane.

@waltblackadar4690

Жыл бұрын

3 years later....it actually wasn't a hurricane. It was a retrograde nor'easter. While it had a central circulation it didn't mean they were in the eye of the storm. Also, waves aren't pushed directly from the eye. The wrap around the eye in the motion of the storm with water being pushed and pulled depending on the quadrant of the storm (hence Ft. Myers flooding due to Ian while 40 miles north Port Charlotte bay emptied). As such, near the center of a storm circulation the waves tend to get very jumbled and can come from many different directions. Finally, we can chalk this also up to artistic license. No one knows what happened to the Andrea Gail and she has never been found. She likely went down relatively (within 50 nautical miles) close to where the Titanic rests.

​@@waltblackadar4690The Perfect Storm did indeed develop an eye and reached hurricane status. The Andrea Gail's last reported position is nearly 300 nautical miles from Titanic's resting place. The Andrea Gail is in less than 3000ft of water somewhere in Banquereau, along the Scotian Shelf, the Titanic is 400nm Southwest of the Flemish Cap, below the bottom of the Continental shelf

the book is a compeling tale of what happened: suffering, acts of bravery in the every day lives of fisherman

Remember lads. No amount of fish is worth your lives. Seen too many die at sea. I work with a fella whos captain. They were on a 65ft boat coming home in stormy weather with 120 thousand lbs of fish. They wanted to make a last tow and loaded up. The boat went down almost with the observer on board. Thankfully he was found. The skipper still feels that dread all these years later. The boats called the posideon princess.

I remembered my seat was 3rd row from cinema screen, feel like the wave is in front of me. Superb movie! Bring back my memory.

@derekwall200

well monster rogue waves of that magnitude do occur and sometimes cruise liners, cargo ships, tankers, and fishing vessels do get hit but thankfully don't end up capsizing because they're larger than the wave lengthwise and often sail head on into them, otherwise if you got hit broadside by a 100+ foot rogue wave it could cause the boat to overturn
