They depicted the English crew as snobbish and elitist murderers in order to support their narrative that rich people don't care about the poor-- when in reality the crew of the ship worked feverishly to get as many people on lifeboats as possible knowing they themselves were doomed.

yea the band played on...they didn't go on the lifeboats first it was women and children. They kept playing right up to when it was sinking so that people wouldn't panic.

So tragic.
The richest american on board John Jacob Astor and the english captain went down with the ship.

Also the crew did not fire into the crowd to murder people.

Dramatic license to ruin the story of the sinking and make it into melodrama.

A night to Remember was the better film about the titanic and based on the true account.
How would you feel if your grandfather's noble sacrifice was then rewritten to have him firing into the crowd of poor people? That's more than dramatic license being taken to make something dramatic, it's a rewrite of history to support a fatcat director's political ideology that he thinks the world ought to believe in.

I just thought when they had that scene, oh typical hollywood film, they always have to have some kind of shooting in it. i know that wouldn thave happened actually. Because I read accounts of the sinking and know that they wouldnt have fired at people. The only thing anyone was firing on that night was distress rockets off the ship.

I dont know what James cameron believes in, but certainly wouldnt trust anything he directed as actual history.

Didnt he direct avatar? That was one weird film. Everyone said it was amazing, but when i saw it, was just these blue people running around pretending to be hippies. I dont know. I wasnt impressed.

No, no, no. Lol. But that's what I meant earlier when I said they'd had to apologize and make donations to charities, because they did do that families.

Avatar was a thinly veiled indictment on the war in Iraq; it was all about obtaining resources, the natives were peaceful, the US soldiers were the bad guys, etc.

That awkward moment when you walk in your brother's front door and your nephew runs to you and yells "Aunt C!!! The UPS man brought a Christmas present for you and it's right over here!!!!" His parents were not happy....I on the other hand was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

That awkward moment when you are really distracted thinking about something, and you are thirsty so you grab a cup of water. Then you sit down, continue thinking, and realize again that you are thirsty. So you go and grab another cup of water, then come back to see that you grabbed one already. :grimacing:
