Re: Overrated

AYRT - This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I honestly find Titanic a bit disrespectful. Because it basically just uses the Titanic and its inherent element of tragedy as a giant, exotic prop?

I'm not clutching my pearls, or crying "shame" on anyone who loves the movie. It's fine to love the movie. But yeah, it just really rubs me the wrong way.

It's also, to me, not comparable to war movies featuring a love story, because war moves that feature love stories tend to still be about war to a greater degree. But also, more importantly, there's a genuine level of emotional cohesion there that basically boils down to people being together and loving each other in the face of a brutal conflict where people are divided and killing each other. (It's not always well done, but at least that aspect is there.)

Whereas with Titanic, there isn't really any natural narrative connection between the tragedy and the love story. The tragedy is just a prop to make the love story poignant. And both elements are props being used to make the other salable. Can't sell a historical move about the Titanic? Make it a love story! Can't sell a love story without some kind of device to elevate it? Make the setting the Titanic!
