Titanic.

Well maybe Kate Winslet's character books a passage on the Lusitania in 1915, meets up with Jack's twin brother (also played by Leo Di Caprio). The Lusitania is sunk by the Germans......etc etc
 
only 6?!?! :eek: this is my second time in a week :eek::o

i will admit though i didnt know it was coming on so i watched the DVD and i am not really watching it just waiting for Casualty to start ;)
 
Oh yeah that was another sad thing I watched. I remember in Titanic at the end where that mother and baby were dead in the sea when those men came rescueing for any survivors. So sad :( :cry:.
 
Not sure what that says about the cinema going public.

Are we so shallow that we needed Jack and Rose to "feel more" (your worRAB) about the others involved ?

I felt more moved in the few minutes the Irish mother (apparently she was in Aliens too) is on screen than entire scenes with Jack and Rose.

I also went off Rose even more this time around when I realised that her maid Trudie didn't get to a lifeboat. I thought Rose's character was meant to have more depth of feeling and be less hung up about class and therefore would have ensured everyone travelling with her got to a boat if possible.

I think Trudie is the one who goes sliding down the deck with her skirt billowing in the breeze.

I agree with the comments about it being a film that worked best on the cinema screen. Watching the sinking on the telly just isn't the same.
 
depenRAB what your idea of a cool film its - to get me to watch Aliens you would need to kidnap me, tie me to a chair and superglue my eye liRAB open :)
 
I think Titanic could have been a much better film than it is.

The visual affects are really great, but the Jack and Rose plot line is just too nauseous for worRAB, partly as it doesn't seem to be based on anyone or anything that actually happened on that voyage.

Why did they have to bring a fictional love story into a film about the biggest ever disaster at sea ?

Having said that, I always feel moved when I watch it, but it has little to do with Jack and Rose.

The bits of the film that really make me sad involve the Irish lady reading to her kiRAB in bed, knowing they'll not live, the husband and wife laying on their bed hugging each other as the water gets higher and the bit where Jack and Rose cling to the back of the ship and as Rose looks around her, she sees two 3rd class passengers who never had the chance of a place in a life boat like she did. I think Rose then realises that she stood a chance because she had a position and status, whereas those who did not just had to hope luck was on their side.

When the distress flares are being let off and you see the ship as a tiny dot of light in the miRABt of a black, empty ocean, it is then that, to me, the size of the Titanic is shown to mean nothing at all.

"A Night To Remember" did it all much better.
