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.

I don't know how strongly that formula holds today (pretty strongly apparently), but MGM head Irving Thalberg sure did believe it. He even added romantic subplots to the Marx Brothers movies they did for the studio (some of their Paramount films had such subplots too but they were generally more throwaway than in the MGM films).

But like.

A lot of women *did* go see Titanic. Mostly for the doomed love plot. And they liked it a lot. They literally made it one of the most successful movies ever!

Why exactly are we sneering at that?

I'm not sneering at the audience, I'm sneering at hollywood. I wouldn't care if they threw a romance over a historical event every so often and it made a billion dollars so long as that's not the only female representation we get. There are a lot of badass historical stories about women that have yet to be made. Because they want to throw a romance over the male story and call it good.

It was also considered an excellent piece of cinema until everyone realized it was popular with women (and even worse... TEENAGE GIRLS!) because of the romance. Then it was terrible and overrated and omg how did this shit win an Oscar?

And as demonstrated above, it became "the boat movie."
