sink the big ship




Guess me and tragedy-stricken movies
really do go along so well...


Like that movie way back when I 'was' young...
I forgot what it's called...'Daylight' or something..
where a bunch of people got stuck in a tunnel because of a fire
and they were caved in, not to mention water filling the tunnel up,
thus need to hurry before air runs out and everybody dies.....



of course not everyone died....
except for this guy who got left behind.
Its rather sad really~

And what about 'The Day after Tomorrow'?
jake gyllenhaal?
and that guy from Jurassic park? (dang, I forgot his name)
lots of snow and water..
this big ship amongst new york's buildings?



yeah
and a lot of people died-


Watching this type of movies
I dunno
I could say it gave me the excitement,
teetering at the edge of the seat
seeing big things crumble to the ground like biscuits
amazed of the higher power taking back everything
and how we should be ready to embrace death...



And thus,
I am proud to say that I have hereby
watched 'Titanic' for the first time

I can only imagine roomie clapping her hands to congratulate me
oh, you should've have seen her face when I told her I havent seen Titanic...ever
her eyes got so big and round
like when you're at the peak of a roller coaster ride
haha

so funny *diabolical laugh*
(alaa, nadon still pretty what...)
and she's all like..
"You havent seen Titanic????"
and a story....



Being the academic journal this blog is
I feel like a bit of history fits in just fine....



The Titanic was a British registered four funnelled ocean liner built for the transatlantic passenger and mail service between Southampton and New York.

It was at the time the largest vessel afloat.

On April 10th 1912 the Titanic set sail from Southampton with 2,200 passengers and crew,

four days later the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank.

1500 people died and 700 survived.

The vessels would forsake speed for increased safety and comfort.

While millionaire passengers would grab headlines, vastly increased steerage capacity and accommodation for the growing middle class would drive economic success.



Even if the CGI was a bit laughable
it was quite good given the year it's produced.
When is it?... 1997?
thats like...*counting* 13 years ago
0 . 0"

so, throughout the movie
I kept reminding myself,
*it was 1997*
*this is a really old movie*
and occasionally..
*hey, why is there someone on the iceberg?*
*that is SO fake*
*snort*
and etc...



I just love his drawings.
Seeing the actor just sitting there and producing a work of art
*snaps finger* just like that
enthrals me
wahahhaa

I always thought that If I ever get to go to Australia
I'll spend an entire day sitting under a tree
and draw
just draw
but I dont sell my work
too precious~



Perhaps I'll marry someone whose willing to travel with me
(provided the moola)
and then,
I can draw all day all over the world
*sigh*




The movie
It was quite tragic actually
people dying
drowning
shot
got hit by the propellers when she sank
the ship breaking in two
when Leo and Kate was like in a potential-death situation
I was tearing my fingers apart with my teeth (figuratively)
sh*t!, dang!, was one of the few I used
and Im not proud of it
haahahaah


So, I gathered a few DO's and DONT's from the movie...
  1. If you're the captain of a really big ship called Titanic, DO NOT drink tea in expensive china while looking over the horizon 24/7. I dont care if tea has nothing to do with the ship, I get so annoyed with these englishmen who just had to have tea now and then. Its like they dont drink anything else.

  2. DO NOT wear pretty evening gowns to commit suicide....for obvious reasons.

  3. DO NOT yell "Im the KING of the world" at the front of a ship... Too corny
  4. DO NOT be too materialistic.. Hiding behind all the pretty clothes and jewelleries and even your status is a poor way to live your life.
  5. DO NOT agree to marry a rich, abnoxious, narcissistic, overly-horendous man just because your mom told you to.
  6. but DO fall in love with a poor boy and try to save his life when the ship is about to sink. It is SO worth it. Trust me....



*swoooooon*



This is so not normal for me
because I dont usually swoon over anyone
But, as hard as I try to deny Leonardo
I cannot!!!
he's just too cute for denial
