It's 25 years since two blockbuster love stories launched and then ran into serious difficulty - that's right we're talking about TitanicMovie and the Good Friday Agreement, which have more in common than you might think, writes BBCGarethG 🎥💞
It is 25 years since both Titanic hit our screens and the Good Friday Agreement was signedIt was launched 25 years ago to great, though not universal acclaim, featured a love story between two characters who ordinarily would never have met and is still lauded as an overwhelming success, despite obvious flaws.
No, this is about 25 years of another epic success against the odds which just happens to share its silver anniversary with the unlikely script line unveiled at Stormont on 10 April 1998.Dan Chung/AFP via Getty ImagesBertie Ahern, Senator George Mitchell and Tony Blair played central roles in the Good Friday Agreement talksAnd, no, we cannot avoid icebergs - one of which led to disaster and others which holed the main structure above the waterline, though have so far not proved fatal.
Just like how some parties who were unimpressed with the Good Friday Agreement at the time now look back with a certain fondness lacking in 1998 - you know who you are! What stopped Rose, of course, was Leo DiCaprio who threatened to jump in and fish her out though if he'd succeeded it would have put even George Mitchell's miraculous powers in the shade.Titanic won 11 Oscars and helped to launch the careers of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
