Titanic Myths and Mistakes with Paul from 'History Rage'
Manage episode 410054424 series 3439386
Paul from the awesome History Rage podcast joins Sean to discuss Titanic film myths and mistakes.
In a reversal from his usual hosting duties, where he listens to historians rage, Paul let's rip on Titanic (1997) describing it as:
"The barely remembered, mostly made-up, bewildered ramblings of an incredibly wealthy woman who is trying to remember back to what happened 80 years ago".
Discussion Points:
-The shedload of myths which are crow-barred into Titanic films.
-Sean still isn't happy with Julian Fellowes (2012) Titanic.
-The myths surrounding third-class passengers.
-The misconceptions of Edwardian Society.
-The portrayal of First Officer Murdoch.
-The trope of "evil Ismay".
-The myth around the Titanic and it's speed.
-Titanic (1943), the film made by the National Socialist Dictatorship of Germany. It is dreadful.
Raised Questions:
-Do you pray for Titanic (1997) to end once the ship sinks?
-Did you know about the Quarantine rules onboard transatlantic ships in 1912?
-Would you rather see Sean working as a seamstress?
-Why doesn't Ruth DeWitt Bukater marry someone else?
-Do you agree with Paul, that Titanic is vapid sh*te?
-Did A Night to Remember (1958) do a better love story than Titanic (1997)?
-Is cutting your mother's toenails a better use of your time than watching Titanic (1943)? Spoiler, yes it is.
