Talk:The Perfect Storm (film)

message: Can someone please clarify WHAT about the movie the crew members' families did not like?  They didn't 
:I don't have the source, but the big thing was because the movie made the fisherman look greedy to the point that were willing to risk their lives. Ennisj (talk) 02:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  "disliked the movie"? 

message: If anyone knows of any evidence indicating whether the "broken ice machine" plot element from the movie actually happened.  When I first saw the movie I assumed that it was true, but I've researched and can't find any evidence of such.  If the ice machine was fine then the boat could've maneuvered to avoid the storm AND preserve the fish catch, and I find it incredible that the captain might've risked running the storm anyways.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.159.148.226 (talk) 19:05, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  just wondering 

message: User:Thomas Blomberg has twice removed the description of this film as a disaster film. I originally reinstated it on the grounds that the linked article itself listed The Perfect Storm as a disaster film, whereupon Thomas removed the film from that article (I reversed his edits to that article with a request to discuss them at the Talk page, though here or there makes little difference to me). I see nothing in that article that precludes this film being a disaster film, and a Yahoo search showed several links described this film as a disaster film. Please weigh in on whether or not that is an appropriate descriptor for this film. Thanks! Doniago (talk) 19:21, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Unsourced material

message: I feel like this section needs qualified a bit. Despite the heading, only one side is given, and it reads like established fact. Perhaps this could be balanced by adding the perspectives of the two crew members and the Coast Guard rescuers, all of which contradict Ray Leonard's (source: Junger's The Perfect Storm).

replies: text: If I'm reading it right, then according to Capsizing, if the boat was on its side then technically it did capsize in any case; whether or not it did a 360 is then irrelevant. In any case, since capsize seems like a slight case of jargon and the article clearly describes what occurred in any case, I've removed the term. DonIago (talk) 14:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Authenticity 

message: I noticed the name of the New York National Guard airman who was killed during the rescue operation is not listed by name.  He was Technical Sergeant Arden R. (Rick) Smith.  https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/graham-buschor/  and   https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-aug-06-mn-65307-story.html  if there are no issues, I can add the name.
