Spoilers for The Malta Story, I guess.

You're so cool and above it all for calling it "the boat movie!"

They gotta get the female audience by putting one women in there somehow, and for hollywood women are for romance. They're certainly not going to do any movies about what women did during the historical event in question. Even though they spied, and murdered, and were heros and were pirates, and led troops, etc etc etc.

There's also Gone With The Wind.

Ehh I think it depends on execution. Most of the time, yes it's pretty tacked on.

Funny enough, the last historical movie I watched was killers of the flower moon and I thought they did "doomed love story" extremely well though I suppose I can't quite call it a romance subplot.

The 'romance' wasn't the point and the whole relationship was more or less used as a metaphor for the bigger themes in the film about exploitation and morality. I'm not sure if it actually counts as romance subplot tbh...

That’s how I’ve always felt about Casablanca.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed!

If Titanic hadn't had the love story, it would've needed to be a completely different movie. The love story was the main point, setting it on the Titanic was a secondary choice. Maybe some people don't like that, but I wouldn't say that counts as a lazy version of "tacking on" a love story to a historical movie.

(I don't know the other movies so I can't judge those.)

i think it is extremely not lazy to have to tack on a plot to your historical documentary and actually write it well. that's literally not lazy. writing good plots, characters, and themes is hard. it is not lazy to do. and it's especially not lazy when you clearly just want to show off your boat footage. leo almost didn't get the part because cameron refused to be lazy about it.

eta: ~and another thing~ i think it is really easy to see creative compromises for money as a detraction for true creativity, but that's a very unnuanced perspective to goal achievement. if you want people to care about history, making it human for them is pretty key. giving a shit about your audience isn't lazy and is an essential and necessary part of the creative process.

"the boat movie" - you are my mother, and I claim my five pounds

[(Anonymous)]

LOL @ "that boat movie"

I agree with this secret. It's straight-up lazy.

That is broadly what happened in TFA, to be fair. They performed a devastating terrorist attack. It was the bext movie which decided they'd destroyed it.

Ahaha. I didn't think Gerard Butler was very good at the singing part, but I thought Emmy Rossum did fine. Mind you, I'm not a musical/opera fan in general, and IME people who like PotO and have seen multiple Broadway performances generally disagree.

Considering this is the first I heard that the game is finally playable, I think it would have been an insurmountable challenge for them to program that in. But I can totally understand being upset that they didn’t anyway :(
