just thinking… james cameron can write women much better than most writers. they're not the same tropes. they have independence

it also has "fuck" multiple times james cameron controls the ratings board
Watched it last year,
it really is a very well put together movie. Pushes along characters both large and small and digs in to how human everyone was.

I know of at least two movies that got G, not PG, G ratings with white female nudity. I say white because there has long been a weirdly racist tendency to show lots of footage of nudity from tribal villages to people of any age.
One of them even had underage nudity.

I love Ebert's review and this quote:
"We understand exactly what is happening at that moment because of an ingenious story technique by Cameron, who frames and explains the entire voyage in a modern story."
That scene where he explains how Titanic sunk is key to the whole sequence when it starts to sink because we know exactly what is happening and why. How JC crafted the screenplay is seriously underrated.
Why would it be. Just about all his movies have strong independent female leads.
This film has one of the worst alternate endings I have seen, your ending would've been better.
Edit: lol, there it is
To be fair, I think sometimes I just forget how utterly atrocious most movies are cuz I consciously do my best to avoid shitty movies. I suppose next to those sort of dregs of the medium, Cameron can actually pass for a halfway-decent writer.
Was that before the "only 1 time use" rule? Lol
Also I love the movie The Rocketeer, also on D+. Rated G but that is closer to PG13. Has lots of shooting guns and Nazis. Also questionable wardrobes or scenes for a G rated film. (I love the main actress btw)

it's when the sinking starts just knowing people went through that at the end is fuck man i can't

Now I think about it, those propellers are huge. Bigger than the og, I think.*doink*
It's time.
That's awesome. I need to watch some Robert Ballard doc, if some is available.
Broke would have jumped after the heart of the ocean.
I don't think so. The propellers were 23 feet, six inches. He's all scrunched up when he hits it, plus he lands on a blade edge that's sloping down, away from the camera.
The model of Propeller Guy does start shrinking after he hits the propeller, though, meaning they actually scaled him down inside the animation software. Maybe that's confusing you.

It's always funny to me when people announce an old movie on Netflix, an event!
I already have it in my collection, it's been on local TV dozens of times, I'm sure it's possible to digitally buy it/watch it in many more places... but sure, it's on Netflix too.
Leaving movies are even better in that regard.
That being said - Cameron the goat.

Sorry, no shade to you, glad people are once again reminded of the fact Titanic is awesome and one of a kind!
Just something I see frequently and since I mostly watch Netflix for series and originals I guess don't quite 'get' but can totally understand.

billy zane (idk hot to spell his name) just is so cute, it gets you
Could be because he's all scrunched up, yeah. Found this pic of Olympic port propeller and its size seems more in line with the movie scene.

i'm watching this for the 4th time this weekend and different parts get me. this time was cal telling jack he had and arrangement but he'd not benifit and jacks dejection
The man wrote The Terminator and Aliens. There are few genre screenwriters as accomplished.
And his female characters are memorable and varied.

yeah I'm struggling to find "problematic females" from his scripts they're almost all "feminist" in the sense the female is independent .
