"Perfect Storm" is not a successful film. It is a consistent malaise of Hollywood films lacking profound connotation. The film tries to show a kind of high spirit inherent in the human soul, trying to be infinitely powerful and unpredictable in nature. Under the power, it explored deeper relationships between people, but neither did it successfully. The film’s poor narrative method ruined these beautiful ideas. The director failed to continue his smooth style, and instead adopted a more obscure and plain expression method in order to narrow the distance between the film and the audience. This is a common type in disaster films, but the director failed to arrange a typical plot as a pavement. Therefore, the subtle changes in the relationship between the characters in different environments cannot be well contrasted, so that the characters appear pale and weak, lacking the most touching power, and can only see the simple story that is bloated and procrastinated. The plot develops dullly.

Linda Greenlaw: [at the services for the crew of the Andrea Gail] I knew Billy Tyne, but I did not know his crew very well, but any man who sailed with him, must have been the better for it. Robert Shatford, Dale Murphy, Micheal Moran, David Sullivan, Alfred Pierre... May you rest easy long-liners, in fair winds, and calm seas... For those of us left behind, the vast unmarked grave which is home for those lost at sea is no consolation. It can't be visited, there is no headstone on which to rest a bunch of flowers... The only place we can revisit them, is in our hearts, or in our dreams. They say swordboatmen suffer from a lack of dreams, that's what begets their courage... Well we'll dream for you: Billy, and Bobby, and Murph, Bugsy, Sully, and Alfred Pierre... Sleep well... Good Night...

Linda Greenlaw: [in the bridge of the Andrea Gail] I saw your guys loading bait. You doing a turnaround?
Captain Billy Tyne: No rest for the weary.
Linda Greenlaw: There you go. Flaunting your work ethic.
Captain Billy Tyne: I don't have a work ethic. I just have work... If I'm going to catch up to you.
