Trivia

(At around one hour and six minutes) There is a direct Star Wars reference as the "Belafonte" comes into Port Au Patois. The seaman on the crows nest is looking through a white pair of binoculars which look very similar to the macrobinoculars that Luke Skywalker used on Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). The following cut shows the view of Willem Dafoe through these binoculars as he is yelling "Port Au Patois" to the crew. This shot, seen from the point-of-view of these binoculars, is almost identical to the look of Luke's macrobinoculars in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) as he views the Tusken Raiders from the cliff top. So really, two Star Wars references. See more
