I'd rather be on a sinking ship in the north Atlantic than to have to watch that movie ever again.

Hardly a day goes by that the press, radio and television don't mention something about the 1500 alleged to have drowned. The figure is nonsense but media folk go on parroting what everyone "knows".

There have been many other disasters at sea, and most of them have hardly warranted a paragraph, let alone movies. Has anyone made a film about the 1,200 killed on board the RMS Lusitania, or the death of 1,100 on the RMS Empress of Ireland? Just look at the unusually long list of films that have been made about this alleged tragedy alone! What other maritime tragedy has warranted such a barrage of Hollywood propaganda, not to mention hundreds and hundreds of books and articles, as have surrounded the alleged Titanic? Lots of people have died in many sea disasters. The Northern Shipwreck Database has archived more than 65,000 records of marine casualties over the last four centuries! What makes the suffering of the Titanic so special?

All of this has culminated in James Cameron's production. After eighty-five years the moguls of the movie world reckoned the time was right to cash in in a big way. And Cameron reckoned it was time for him to cash in too. "Movie of the year! Cameron takes on the Titanic!", screamed the cover-page in Newsweek magazine.

This film, however, contains so many flaws and inconsistencies that it is absolutely worthless as a credible historical piece. Let's start with the fact that the two principal characters, alleged to have had a dramatic love affair aboard the doomed vessel, were, in fact, simply names picked at random from the ship's manifests. There is no evidence that these two persons even met during the actual voyage.

The truth is revealed when one watches the end-credits of the movie. Stashed away, in tiny letters, shown only after most people would be expected to have already left the theater, is the fateful disclaimer:

Quote :

"Characters, places and incidents in this film are fictitous. Any resemblance to actual events, locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."

Even the filmmakers are forced to admit that this movie - purporting to represent a historical event - is, in fact, a work of FICTION, just like Amadeus and Schindler's List!

Am I suggesting that the boat did not sink, or that dozens, maybe hundreds of people didn't get wet and cold and maybe even broke an ankle? No. But propaganda is selective, and Hollywood propaganda is the most selective of all. There is no physical evidence that 1500 went down with the ship.

The ship was probably scuttled after all the passengers and crew were safely aboard the lifeboats. They all escaped and filed monstrous insurance claims. The whole thing is a titanic insurance hoax.

That is why the tear in the hull allegedly caused by an iceberg has never been found. All the hull damage that has been found and documented could have been caused by the ship hitting the sea floor. And where, exactly, is this so-called iceberg? How can revisionists be expected to accept that 1500 people were killed if the very instrument of their destruction is not even available for examination?

Based on a complete lack of physical evidence alone, it is safe to dismiss the conventional Titanic story.

Call me queer, but I enjoy this movie.

It is weird, but I watch this movie in a similar way that I watch zombie flicks... I put myself into the situation, and try to figure out strategies that I could use to survive.
