Paul from the awesome History Rage podcast joins Sean to discuss Titanic film myths and mistakes.
In a reversal from his usual hosting duties, where he listens to historians rage, Paul let's rip on Titanic (1997) describing it as:
"The barely remembered, mostly made-up, bewildered ramblings of an incredibly wealthy woman who is trying to remember back to what happened 80 years ago".
Discussion Points:
-The shedload of myths which are crow-barred into Titanic films.
-Sean still isn't happy with Julian Fellowes (2012) Titanic.
-The myths surrounding third-class passengers.
-The misconceptions of Edwardian Society.
-The portrayal of First Officer Murdoch.
-The trope of "evil Ismay".
-The myth around the Titanic and it's speed.
-Titanic (1943), the film made by the National Socialist Dictatorship of Germany. It is dreadful.
Raised Questions:
-Do you pray for Titanic (1997) to end once the ship sinks?
-Did you know about the Quarantine rules onboard transatlantic ships in 1912?
-Would you rather see Sean working as a seamstress?
-Why doesn't Ruth DeWitt Bukater marry someone else?
-Do you agree with Paul, that Titanic is vapid sh*te?
-Did A Night to Remember (1958) do a better love story than Titanic (1997)?
-Is cutting your mother's toenails a better use of your time than watching Titanic (1943)? Spoiler, yes it is.
