Titanic Myths and Mistakes with Paul from 'History Rage'

Review It Yourself

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.
