Ok so my movie was Titanic.. I have found a lot of sources. There is a lot of information on the historical event in nearly every encyclopedia and online if I google it I get information that is relatively accurate. Also I have found some very interesting books on my movie. I found one book in the library near campus that tells every thing that happened in real life and then there is another half to the book that tells everything about how the movie was made and just everything pertaining to the movie. Some of the interesting things I have found in the books about the movie were things like how long it took to shoot and why they used the actors they used and where it was filmed. Some facts I didn’t know that I read in those books would be like how big the ship was, some people that were on it, and how it was made. I’m having trouble finding things to argue about with this movie because the movie does not stray far from the facts. The movie is not completely factual but what facts that are in the movie are very close to true. One of the arguments I have considered is “was this movie only directed at women when it came out” I think this would be easy to argue because I don’t think the movie was just aimed at women I think the whole ship wreck and all the death and what not would appeal to men. In my paper I would like to talk about how they chose to use little known actors for the movie. They chose kate winslet and leonardo di caprio because the producers did not have the money to hire big well known stars because the movie was costing so much. This is very ironic that they chose to budget their money because this movie made millions in theatres and also in blockbuster. After all that was over they had enough money that they could have hired any one they wanted to play actors in the movie. I really think the actors they chose though were perfect for the movie cause it made you focus more on the historical event rather than thinking about the celebrities. I would like to find some way to argue that. About there not being celebrities in the movie that is. I find that very interesting. Also something else I could argue would be did the love story take away from the event and no I don’t think it did because like you said situations like that could have happened and many people lost people they loved. So if anything I think it added to the story line because it makes you think about what all those people went through and how everything happened. I guess the movie would be really boring if they hadnt focased on anyone and just told what happened in real life.
