The movie is great. It's a shame people look at the movie and see it for just a love story, when it's so much more:
That isn't exactly how I feel about the movie, but it does get the point across that there's a lot more to it. The destruction and tragedy of the film is so powerful (for example, 1:20-1:34 of
). Also, the movie's soundtrack is amazing.
About the actual disaster, it's always fascinated me, although my super-Titanic-freak days ended around 10 years ago. But, this thread has reinforced an idea I had yesterday...(check my youtube channel in a few days)
Quote:"The story could not have been written better...The juxtaposition of rich and poor, the gender roles played out unto death (women first), the stoicism and nobility of a bygone age, the magnificence of the great ship matched in scale only by the folly of the men who drove her hell-bent through the darkness. And above all the lesson: that life is uncertain, the future unknowable...the unthinkable possible." -James Cameron
