Titanic

Thomas Andrews the Shipbuilder

RMS Titanic departing from Southampton, 10th April 1912

Yesterday night I watched Titanic [the movie] at tv2...
I know it was very long time ago when it was released...

It has been 12 years...
The movie was released in 1997 when I was 2 years old...

But yesterday was my chance to watch the full movie without having any deleted scenes at the every best and important parts...
I used to watch it before in local tv station, but they always keep on cutting the best part of the movie as they want to show more tv commercials and which was making the movie was not able to end at the right time...

I don't know why they want to show so much tv commercials...
The same commercials that keep on showed for 5-10 minutes long...
Isn't it so stupid?

Anyway, the movie is nice..
Although the love story between Jack and Rose was just a fiction..
It still was a touching story...
I just love the part where the ship was hitting the iceberg and was going to sink...
It was so unimaginable...

But when it was about to sink, everyone became so selfish..
They only thought of themselves...
They want to save their lives until there were some argument between the passengers and the crew..

It was in the 1912 where someone's status was very important...
They give the priority to save women and children and also the first class people...
So it end up with more people from the first class were survived compared to the lower class people...

It was so ironic when people said "the unsinkable ship"..
But it sunk in its first voyage...
They shouldn't said that at the first place...
Because it was its first time...
But what can we do about it...
Maybe the ship's destiny was to hit the iceberg and sink in its first voyage...

It was a really nice story, I admit it..
It makes me think and learn something...
It gives me some knowledge that how was the life at that time..
The society, the social status, the people and the way they think...
Men who always discussed about the political issues and so on...

Just like the drama An Inspector Calls by J.B Priestly...
" A man has to take care of himself " said Mr. Birling...
