This movie was a total disgrace to those sailors, and really all sailors, who lose their life. The bulk of this movie was fiction, utter BS, lies trumped up as docudrama, fiction, besmirching the names of those who lost their lives. There was no love affair between the real Captains Billy Tyne and Linda Greenlaw but the sleazy Hollywood vacuously untalented writers tried that angle. They tried a lot of angles, all disgraces to the real people to which this movie, which I'd say is loosely based on real events... but all they did is take names of people and places, then come up with their tripe, lies, "fiction" if you could call it that. The writers and producers and hell, the actors, should all be ashamed. Proceeds should go to the families who lost the loved ones. And the people that died on the boat, it's never been known/proved how she went down, so that part too is a disgrace to those who lost their lives. Yes, spoilers, whatever, the crew dies, but how they did has never been known.
No wonder Sebastian Junger was horrified when he saw what William Wittliff had done with his very good, gripping book by the same name as the movie. You want to hear facts and what these people, the community, was about, go buy and read the book A Perfect Storm. If you're the ignorant type too stupid to read (the typical American moviegoer this piece of trash was aimed at), just avoid the movie out of respect to the people this movie besmirches.
