You never forget your first time...watching 'Titanic.'
Trust me: I’m a fellow escapist. My bookshelves are loaded down with high fantasy. So Ito get it. Alas, economic magnitudes separate paperback fantasy authors from the MCU entertainment behemoth, and I’ve consistently found frustration, not escape, in the hands of our cinematized superheroes., but we can generally imagine their story as it happened. Leo, down on his luck after some sort of streetwise MFA program, strikes gold in a winning hand of poker.
I don’t know what it’s like to get bitten by a radioactive spider, or to receive a “top-secret super soldier serum.” But I’ve swum in cold water. I’ve been in love. Maybe not so intensely and all at the same time, but, anyway, what I’m trying to say it that! You can visit certain museums and run your hands along bits of the ship’s salvaged hull. The thing itself is still down there—and if that doesn’t give you the chills, I don’t know what will.
If not for this magnificent sequence, it would be easy to forget that everything happening up on the first-class deck is being powered by fifty sweat-soaked Irishmen down below. These coal-shoveling stokers lay bare the human scale of. For all that Leo suffers in this film, his hardship seems petty compared to even a few hours working the fuel compartments.
Staring wide-eyed at the boiler room scene, I reflected with horror at the very real price that some people have paid—and still do pay—to come to America. As I found myself thinking about that, I realized thatis so much more than a soppy love story. Its’ a parable for our times, a reflection on class, industry, and arrogance.Keep obsessing!
