Answer 2

How does Titanic make you think? It's pretty much a $100 million episode of 90210 or the OC - but less funny. James Cameron is an extremely good director, but Titanic is just a cheesy chick flick in the context of a famous event, kind of like the far inferior Pearl Harbor. The flaws I found from a purely film-making perspective, are the boring love triangle (which has been done to death lets face it) and the somewhat glazed over class differences. You said that Titanic showed classism but the message is pretty much that poor people are happy to be poor and rich people are miserable, based on what they show in the movie. The special effects are great but the story of the actual Titanic ends up just being a tool in the tragic romance story. That's pretty lame as well. I would rather see a more realistic depiction of the Titanic and maybe get a taste of the society of that time instead of being dragged through a soap opera plot for 3 hours. I'm not saying to make it a cheesy disaster movie like Airport 72 or the Towering Inferno, rather to show the Titanic in a less Hollywood - but more realistic - way. This movie is a great example of why many people think Hollywood movies are crap. Take a really famous event, throw in a cheesy romance, sign on a movie star, dumb down everything else and chaching!, you have a billion dollar movie. Still, in terms of cheesy Hollywood garbage, this is one of the better ones.

Answer 3

If you have cried during the movie Titanic...

a) How many times?
More than I can count...

b) Why did you cry?
When they fall in love, when the ship starts to sink, when Jack dies, and when Rose dies at the end (and a lot more that I could type, but would make my fingers sore)

c) Were you saddened by the death of Jack and others?
Yes, it just breaks my heart.

d) Why were you sad about it?
They were all innocent people, except for the fiance, but he didn't die on the ship :(

Answer 4

If you have cried during the movie Titanic...

a) How many times? Multiple up to 7 times.

b) Why did you cry? Because the tragedy was real and it brought that home very vividly in charachters that you came to feel you knew. It put a very human spin on what happened that fateful night so long ago.

c) Were you saddened by the death of Jack and others? Because it made me realize that when the Titanic went down there were many brave husbands and fathers who told thier families all would be well, even though they knew they would drown, but to save those they loved, they lied to protect them. What courage, what love.

d) Why were you sad about it? I think the tragedy touches all of us even now. It was a factual circumstance, not some made up hollywood drama. This was real, it happened and you mourn for those losts souls. Years later, I watched a show on the BBC or some PBS channel that documented the discovery of the unknown child in the grave at the gravesite where many of the washed up or found souls were buried after the ship sank. I cried and cried for that poor little baby boy who now has a name, but I cried for his family that lost him and for the families that believed he was thier son, cousin, lost family member. Even today the tragedy of Titanic still reaches us down deep in our souls and wraps around our aching hearts. It truly was one of the greatest tragedies.

Answer 5

I have an interesting story about my first time seeing Titanic.
I think I was like 16 or 17 when I saw Titanic in the theatres with my boyfriend. I was crying so hard that tears were still coming out after I left the theatre and my eyes were a wreck by the time I got home. I opened the door to my Mom standing there and she said, 'oh, you heard?' I was like, no what are you talking about.. my cat had been dying for the last few hours and they were trying to get a hold of me the whole 3+ hours I was at the movies. Needless to say he held on until I got home and died shortly after while in my arms.

I have seen Titanic many times since then and I cry everytime, because of Jack, the thought of the actual people who died so tragically, and my cat...

Answer 6

a) two
b) no
c) was sadden by death period. especially the children/babies
d) there were many reason why I was angry about.
(1) to cut cost for the ship owner they used cheap material to finish complete the ship.
(2) they didn't put enough life boat that required for the ship that size and the amount of passengers, there was only 20 lifeboats.
(3) how selfish one can be when their lives is at sake (women and children first, where the guy pretend to be old woman).
(4) how the other ship mistaken the firework for celebration rather than S.O.S.
(5) how many half full live boats (rich people) refuse to help the other passengers. Life boat capacity of 65 persons each. some was reported to have 20 person in some.
(6) the crew didn't take command of the life boats and went back for as many they can.
(7) how people was push back into the cold water. if any thing they should have rotate people in and out of the water.

Answer 7

I've cried almost every single time I watched the movie (aprox. 20 times) I cried not just because Jack had died but because Rose had at last found herself with Jack. He had helped her in some many ways, and now he's gone. I also cried with indignation, when there were some boats that could have come back to assist...Of course I was devastated about so many lives lost at sea...I respect the sea I would not even imagine the agony of those people
