Since we’re in self-quarantine mode, I decided that it was probably the perfect time to rewatch Titanic. As a kid, Titanic was always one of my favourite movies. Not only because of the love story but because it depicted a tragic and fascinating part of human history that has never been forgotten. For me, it fuelled an obsession with shipwrecks that has continued until this day. I have spent many a time on Google, looking up the worst shipwrecks in history and crying over the many people who died on them. Has it also created a fear for the ocean and huge ships? Yes…But it is what it is.
With all of that said, while watching Titanic, I was quite excited to look up cool facts about the filming of the movie. I couldn’t believe that something that was made in 1997 (and with a budget of $200 million) could be so great. The technology, effects, acting, and music were so amazing; I really felt like I was watching a documentary about the actual tragic shipwreck and not a movie.
It’ll be a short post this week as the self-quarantine has kind of stomped out any joy in me. But I will try my best to be a bit more engaging and exciting with my next post.
