juz finished watching titanic on ch 5 another time...nv watched it in cinemas bfore...onli watched it on e repeat telecast on tv...tis is e 3rd time i watched it...e first time i watched both episodes...den e 2nd time i onli glimpsed e first episode...den todae i watched most of it la...evritime i watch it i feel different...aniticipate stuff...cos i watched it bfore le ma...but still sum parts which bring in new thots...
still rem e 'history' of tis movie...was in sec1 when it was in e movies...cheryl was absoluteli crazy over tis show...i tink she watched it 7 times or sth...all in e movies...it was e craze man...but i sotong one la...nv watch so duno wat isit all abt...onli noe it was v long...n noe e theme song onli lor...finalli when e first time i saw it on tv i realised wat it was tt attracted so mani ppl...
was it e love story of jack n rose? how jack lost his life to save e love of his life? yes...jack leading e wae for rose wherever they went...n leading her onto a piece of drift wood n telling her to b strong..."i'll nv let go..." yes they din let go of each other until e rescue boat came...but i felt rose was abeet heartless to juz drop jack who was frozen to death back into e water...was she selfish as well? was there ani chance of him surviving? i realli duno...cld hv tried u noe...yes...once agn...their love is e main pt la...u muz b telling mi...
was it e painful sight at watching humankind b selfish n violent in order to survive? shoving n pushing...mad rush for escape on e boats...e man who attempted to help jack n rose open e gate after they were trapped bcos of e crazy rose's fiance who chased them aft rose clambered out of e life boat n into e titanic agn...he tried to help to open e gate...he had e keys alrite...but gave up when he was too panicky n dropped e keys on e floor which almost half filled with water areadi...selfish...yet perhaps he was in a frightful state areadi ba...e crew ordering e ppl to stand back...n had to even shoot sum ppl who were too stricken by fear i guess...n mad rushing forward no matter wat...n e crew who shot himself when he realised he was actualli killing ppl when he was supposed to save them...tt was sad...n makes us realise how puny one human's life actualli is...
or was it e mistreating of e lower class compared to e upper class ppl? e lower class being held back at e gates of e lower n refused entry to e top deck juz bcos they wanted to clear e hoards of rich women n children first? e lower class were abused juz to prevent them fr entering e boats...n wat abt jack? who was accused of stealing e jewel...handcuffed to e lower deck cabin? (reminds mi of another story studied in LEP: hui fu zi you yi hou)
how abt e ppl who remained on e boat without ani look of fear? i found tt heart-aching yet wonderful...e captain n e architect...e captain juz returned to his steering rm...wateva u call tt...n waited for e water to engulf him...e architect apologised to rose for not building a stronger ship...n still turned e clock on e mantelpiece...how simple these evridae actions seemed...cos they do it in everidae life...but in actual fact...they wld b doing it for e last time....strong ppl who accepted wat comes their wae...n how can i forget e old couple stil in their cabin on their bed....still so loving n accepting e fact tt they wld not survive...but at least they're together...n e mother telling gdnite stories to her 2 sweet children...brings tears to my eyes...
how abt e lady at e stern who exchanged glances w rose? rose n jack managed to clamber onto e other side of e railing...but she din...she was hanging on for dear life...until she cldnt hold on animore...den aft tt they took a shot of this moustache man bside jack n rose...i suspect this was e lady's husband or sth...who was cruel enuff to let his wife fall? i realli duno...if it is den it is realli sad...
n of cos e string quartet who was asked to plae happi music on e top deck...supposed to calm e ppl...but they themselves felt disheartened when they were pushed by those who were running abt on e top deck...but they still stuck tog to plae tune aft tune...musicians r indeed special ppl...
hmm...one of e women in e life boats tt left v earli is v commendable...she wanted to head back to save those on e sea aft e ship had sunk...but was denied by e crew on e boat...saying tt they wld get capsized as evrione wld b clambering on e boat for safety...she was brave enuff to speak up altho it wasnt of much actual help...when they had organized...n repacked themselves...there was onli one free boat goin into e icy seas to rescue e ppl...n by tt time...they were all frozen to death...
one boat turned back...1500 ppl in e seas...onli 6 saved...how heartless?
perhaps e onli ting tt rose redeemed herself was by saying she was rose dawson...surname of jack dawson...guess tt was all she cld do...she survived n lived to tell e story...juz as jack wld wan her to...
tink i can go n write review for movie liao...e review on thinking too much...humph...dismiss it if it makes no sense...else if u wld not mind...drop a few thots of yrs as well...=)
