Over the
weekend I watched The Finest Hours, a Disney movie production, which in my book
means it is bound to be a good story with a happily ever after ending. The
Finest Hours is filled with romance, suspense, and heroism, set in the early
1950s, and is based on a true story which makes it all the more better.
Bernie
Webber is a crewman at the Coast Guard station in Chatham, MA on Cape Code. He
has fallen in love with Miriam, a local girl, and the two plan to marry on
April 16, as a formality Bernie has to get permission from the station’s
commander in order to marry Miriam. On the day Bernie goes to ask permission,
an oil tanker splits in half off the coast. Four coast guard men, one being
Bernie, have to go out in a dangerous nor’easter to attempt to save the men who
are left on the oil tanker.
When
Miriam hears that Bernie is leading the rescue crew, she, like many of the
towns people believe it is a suicide mission. Miriam drives to the Coast Guard
station and repeatedly demands that the rescue crew be called back in, but her
request goes unheard. It is up to Bernie to navigate the dangerous waters and
go through with the rescue mission.
The
Finest Hour is the perfect summer movie to watch and has all the great making
for a terrific story line.
That movie looks so good!
