The definition they use is one that points to the вЂњdisastrous confluence of forcesвЂќ definition that the movie and Junger promote. It says something about the widespread usage of the phrase that Merriam-Webster is adding it to the dictionary. One might expect forecasters to begin terming every other balmy day with sunshine and a breeze as 'The Perfect Storm of Pleasant Days.' If you hear that Wall Street had a 'Perfect Storm' there is roughly a 50/50 chance that the market tanked or the Dow-Jones Industrial went up 200 points in the afternoon. This coupled with the neutrality of the phrase's use makes it equally confusing. This overuse has lead to the diminishing of the phrase's impact. The problem is that 'The Perfect Storm' happens once, maybe twice, in a lifetime. A startup R&D company can brew a 'perfect storm' in their industry. Beekeepers are under the weather of their own perfect storm. Tiger Woods, during this yearвЂ™s British Open, needed a perfect storm, and didn't get it. Generally the phrase is used neutrally with respect to the benefit or detriment it has to the person using the phrase. The phrase simply describes something that seems to possess all the raw power of gale-force winds, 30 meter waves and pounding downpour. The iPhone was a 'Perfect Storm' according to some hype-spinners, the housing market is experiencing its own 'Perfect Storm,' especially the sub-prime lending market. But what is unreasonable is how it is used and how it is currently over-used.Д¬alling something the perfect storm refers usually to how uncontrollable that thing is with respect to whatever company or politician is sponsoring it.

These days you might hear on the news about the вЂњperfect storm of diet pillsвЂќ or the вЂњperfect storm of campaign reform.вЂќ The metaphor is not unreasonable in most cases it refers to something sweeping in and changing things, being large and in charge. Now, a little more than seven years after its release, the title of the movie is a metaphor for anything which might sweep some industry up and carry it quickly from default to profit or vice versa. I have not seen the film, but from the reviews above and general feelings I heard when it came out it was a middling performance film with incredible effects. The Perfect Storm has become a clichГ©, a buzz phrase used by businessmen and politicians to describe some big event. The iPhone will be the Perfect Storm of the mobile industry Overall, the movie is quite faithful to the book. However, the book is extremely graphic, and this movie does justice to the unimaginably bad conditions at sea. Also, it is clearer in the book what events are conjecture, since no-one knows what happened to the AG in the end. The book did not have the cheesy dialogue, for one. The real star of this movie is the storm, not the salty dog actors, e.g. The storm scenes are really quite amazing and totally make up for the cheesy dialogue. The boat is battered by rogue waves (of between 75 and 100 feet) which is pretty awe inspiring to watch even if it is only CGI. When the weather starts up, Industrial Light and Magic goes to work. About of a third of the way in to the movie, the boat Andrea Gail goes out again for a late October (1991) swordfish run. The movie begins with some of the hokiest dialogue heard since Celine Dion finished her gig for Titanic. The perfect storm was a confluence of three weather systems in October 1991 that resulted in superstorm conditions never seen in recorded history. A movie by Wolfgang Petersen, based on the based-on-a-true-story book of the same name by Sebastian Junger.
