Titanic by Huttie



People are so stupid, they'll watch anything (and buy anything). The story, you might wonder is no great, in fact, it is very much like our desi Bengali movies boy-loves-girl, girl-loves-boy, family-no-agree, one-dies and at last moral-of-the-movie is boring ’true love lives forever’.The "love story" was ludicrous. It was a cartoon romance. It was unbelievable and totally unjustified. Also, since the majority of the audience have been total idiots, we failed to notice the inconsistencies and inequity of it:
1. It is Jack who comes between Rose and Cal, not the other way around.
2. Rose cheats on Cal. We are expected to cheer her on for this. Had it been Cal who cheated on Rose, we would have been expected to jeer and hiss.
3. Rose and Jack have sex on the day after their first meeting. What a family movie this is. I'm sure every parent wants to encourage their child to have premarital sex with a near stranger. Of course, most parents probably didn't notice.
Mr Cameron, pay homage to real people who died; don't create characters just to milk our romance-starved society for all it's worth.
