Titanic Disorder

Or, Rose, Rose, I'm going to the shops Rose. Thanks Jack, see you later Jack. Wait, Jack, Jack! Don't forget the milk Jack. I won't Rose. I love you Rose. I love you too Jack.


I hate Titanic (1997).

Not even going to go into why as we have had nearly 20 years to moan about it. However, the main thing that really made me want to scrub out my ears with a scouring pad to save me from the inanity of it, was the fact that every single character has to mention Jack and Rose's names whenever they talk about them, to them, or in proximity to them. It is as if James Cameron is terrified that we might forget who these starcrossed nimrods, through whom is the only way we can possibly feel any sympathy for the deaths of over 1,500 people, are if they don't!

In case you can't tell. It really irritated me. I did note that in one sentence one of their names were used 3 times. I never wanted to go back and gather evidence though. It was just too painful.

Luckily for me though, CinemaSins have done it for me! Enjoy folks!


If the embedded video doesn't work for you, try going here.

Edit: Yeah sorry, I can't just leave it at that. I have to rant more!

Seriously, Cameron uses their names in the dialogue 173 times?! Even in a 3 hour and 14 minute movie (thanks for that as well Cameron!) that is a name mention every 1 minutes and 5 seconds!

Stuff Sentence: E Deck, Cameron should be sentenced to Titanic heaven with Jack and Rose so he can endure the 'name calling' for eternity!

Rant over. Promise.
