Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... I still think I have a point. I’m sure the movie is fine and not terrible, but I’m also pretty sure it’s considered a joke by most.
I honestly don’t have anything against it. It’s entertaining, it’s emotional, it has boobs, etc., and the acting is not at all bad. But conceptually it’s a fucking nightmare. It’s an example of the worst kind of audience manipulation.
The only difference between Titanic and Pearl Harbor is the setting in which the imaginary love affair takes place, and the quality of the production staff. Titanic gave birth to Pearl Harbor.
Anyway I’m not saying Titanic is bad, I’m saying it’s a film based entirely on epic pretense, flagrant untruths, and a tearjerker ballad that gave birth to an entire line of mini-Titanics. As a result, it’s a joke that made a lot of money.
Or, y’know, sure. Pearl Harbor.
