Really good Movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2006)

Really the only reason that I started doing any research into this movie was because of the name of the town. They mentioned Beaufort (pronounced bo-furt) a few times, then when I just watched it again on TV a few minutes ago, they showed a sign saying 'welcome to Beaufort'. I paid attention to location and scenery, because back in the early 80's I lived down in North Carolina. After I had been there for a year and a half or so, I got a job working for the Town of Beaufort. I worked for the town up to the time that I moved back up to Indiana. In total I lived in North Carolina for almost 5 years. I told my wife while watching the movie ( before I found out that it was indeed filmed in North Carolina), I told my wife that there things I saw on there that did look like Beaufort. Especially along the water front, and one view where it showed the downtown area on the waterfront. I have spent much time there along the boardwalk and the downtown area there. I thought it was really cool to find out that it was the same place that I used to live and work in. Here's an FYI fact for anyone that might happen to read this. When the first shuttle exploded on take off back in the 80's, the pilot, Mike smith, was from Beaufort. They erected a monument to him down on the boardwalk that is shown in one scene of the movie.
