I find you very sad!

"Paint me like one of your German Girls"
"I find you very sad"

Where is the context to the thread here ?

Thepigeonsarecoming · 29/05/2020 05:00

@IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0

I find it very sad, that you all think it is amusing to make fun of such a tragedy. Apart from watching the film, have you ever educated yourselves about the circumstances / background / consequences? I can only recommend the big exhibition down in the Belfast dock area - you'll not find much to laugh about there. and, yes, I admit, I am from Belfast and if you want something to laugh about I quote the tour guide at the Exhibition "Well, she was alright when she left Belfast".
It was a historic event, no one is laughing abut the loss of life. You are taking this too personally

Yes It was a tragedy, no one disputes that

IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0 · 29/05/2020 05:11

If no one disputes that it was a tragedy, why are they all making fun of it? I am not taking this personally, but am perhaps taking it for the people that lost their lives and for their families.

Jellycatismyspiritanimal · 29/05/2020 05:12

I think people are making fun of the film not the historic event.

Homescar · 29/05/2020 05:13

Sigh. They’re making fun of a notoriously shite film.

SquishyBones · 29/05/2020 05:17

It turns out it was a massive conspiracy, it never hit an iceberg, it was taken out by China ( said in a Donald Trump voice)

IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0 · 29/05/2020 05:23

And the ship was actually built in Wuhan.

CaptainButtock · 29/05/2020 06:33

Christ...there's always one...Hmm

YouKnowWhoo · 29/05/2020 06:45

It’s a film about a huge boat with loads of spare lifeboats. On its one thousandth voyage they decide to go off route as explorers on in chartered waters and fill up all the spare boats with goodies to maximum capacity.

They find this guy castaway on an island with just a ball to keep him company, he’d been there for years!

Leo Varaskar gives him an honorary Key to the Country and Ireland embraces him as one of their own as his great great great grand grandad was from Offaly. It ends with him drinking a pint of Guinness and becomes a YouTube sensation.

I can only recommend the big exhibition down in the Belfast dock area - you'll not find much to laugh about there.

Actually I won't, I find it obscene that things have been brought to the surface and put in an exhibition things pilfered from a mass grave.

Taking the piss out of a film that was set during the disaster, a totally different thing.

maxonebitch · 29/05/2020 07:20

The orchestra played some marvellous tunes, rose dumps jack and elopes with a member of the orchestra when the boat stops in Ireland and they secretly go to Greta green where they are married.
Jack also jumps ship, unknown to them and marries Rose's sister. They all go on to have a long and healthy life and appear on the now defunct Jeremy Kyle show when the truth comes out.

If Merchant Ivory made "Fight Club"

supercilioussal · 29/05/2020 07:24

Just when you think Jack is about to die, some American policemen arrive and arrest him.

They peel off a rubber mask to reveal he was Rose’s fiancé all along, and as the ship sinks into the waves behind him, he growls, “and I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for those pesky kids.”

Posh bloke decides to find himself a bit of rough on a sea cruise. The girl he finds is actually a scientific genius, but no one trusts her as she is female.

When approaching the iceberg, she offers to burn it out the way with a laser, but no one listens. Ship hits iceberg.

She then offers her new invention, plastic, to mend the holes quickly- no takers, and they lock the girl up.

Posh bloke discovers he is actually in love with Science girl from Steerage, so goes on a mission to find her.

They make it to the top deck of the ship, where she has stashed her last invention... A massive inflatable lifeboat. All the steerage passengers jump aboard and float happily away into the sunrise, while a string quartet plays 'Happy Days are here again'

When the boat starts sinking on New Year's Eve, Kate and Leo are quick to grab a huge Christmas tree so that everyone can escape from the third class accommodation by climbing up it. Having escaped the boat, they find themselves captured by pirate captain Jack Sparrow, who drunkenly seduces Kate before casting them adrift. They hole up for 5 years on a remote island with only a football called Wilson for company, before finally being eaten by a giant shark on a fishing expedition .

ODFOx · 29/05/2020 07:38

The Film Comany were originally going to call the film '6th Sense' because of all the Icy Dead People.

LynnThese4reSEXPEOPLE · 29/05/2020 07:53

@ODFOx that made me chuckle!

Cam2020 · 29/05/2020 07:56

It's shit.

Samtsirch · 29/05/2020 08:29

@IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0
If you read the thread properly you will see that people are making fun of a particularly rubbish and untrue to fact FILM , not a real life tragedy.
The film is far more insulting to the historical event than all of these posts together.

Lemonlady22 · 29/05/2020 08:40

It's all a conspiracy theory...!

SpudsGuns · 29/05/2020 08:41

The ship was supposed to hit an iceberg, but due to global warming the iceberg had melted.
Everyone landed in America safely and lived happy ever after.
Except for Jack who decided to make a raft out of an old fireplace so he could show Rose his diving skills.
Unfortunately he was eaten by a hungry whale.

Lemonlady22 · 29/05/2020 08:42

Oh just remembered, my daughter was doing a school project about this and asked me what I remembered about it....I was 48 at the time (10 years ago)!

It could have been a a lot worse, my Dd asked my MIL if she could remember what the dinosaurs were like Grin
