Also doesn’t Clooney’s character mention he’s from Florida…? Probably helped with the accent.

Agree. Just took the “make a killing” from one of the character’s lines. Nobody was getting rich in that life. Thanks for saying it better than I did! #hatm

And that’s a wrap. Thanks @herberthistory.bsky.social and #hatm for another good one and a great evening. See you all next time around…!

Really beautiful way to end the film- Linda Greenlaw taking the Hannah Boden out, with Billy Tyne’s voiceover repeating his description of being a swordfish captain. Beautiful- and tragic. #hatm

Billy recedes back into the wheelhouse. The captain goes down with the ship. #hatm

That shot of the Andrea Gail trying in vain to climb that giant wave, then capsizing. Heartbreaking. #hatm

Daughter just realized they’re not going to make it: “This is a terrible movie!”

The Coast Guard really should get more credit for being the ones out there rescuing people in storms like this. #hatm

Climbing up to fix the radio antenna in the middle of a hurricane. Unreal. #hatm

Just needed a bit of levity. Seriously, this storm is terrifying. #hatm

If the ice machine hadn’t broken, would they have just waited out the storm? But facing the entire catch being spoiled, when they could make a killing… What would you do…? #hatm

“The Flemish Cap. Lots of fish. And lots of weather.” #hatm

“I always find the fish! Always! And I will this time!”

Even knowing what happens, those satellite shots of the storm building still make me anxious. #hatm

“I got a woman I can’t stand to be more than two feet away from. But then again, I love to fish.”

“Then you got a problem.”

Heading out- so beautiful. Easy to see the attraction. But man, tough industry. Rough life. #hatm

“You can’t be good unless you love it.”

Great speech by George Clooney there. #hatm

“I do want go with you. But I don’t want to be a fisherman.”

Hard life on families. #hatm

Don’t know anything about the fishing industry, but this happened in 1991. Billy Joel released Storm Front- with the song “The Downeaster Alexa,” about the declining industry, in 1989. #hatm

I forget how good the soundtrack is; always love James Horner. And the opening montage of the town makes you want to move to New England and become a fisherman. Just beautiful.
Though that’s partly because you can’t smell a movie… #hatm

Well that’s a wrap. Vintage ‘80’s film. Vintage 80’s fun. And- Jean Claude Van Damme. Nice way to spend an evening. Thanks @herberthistory.bsky.social and #hatm !

“Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. I’ll be there.”

And that’s why Ray Jackson is in the movie. #hatm

Even the military guys there to arrest Frank are cheering for him. #hatm
