I remember 1997 like it was yesterday!
(But thank goodness it ain't) - And, one of the events of the year, as you would recall, was the release of the film 'Titanic'. There sure was a lot of hype about it - people running all over the place bragging that they'd seen it like ten times at the cinema. I think my sister even seen it twice!
The cynical of those who kept going back would say, 'I went to see Leo die'. As if they thought we'd buy that? They loved it because it was a good romance story - where love ultimately triumphs (except when Kate refuses to let Leo join her on her floating door, and let's him die, and then pretends she loved him all those years, when really, the better choice was just to say, 'I know I'm rich, but I can probably share this with you'.
I didn't get to see this at the flicks, I don't know why - but I do remember seeing it when it came out on VHS! It was one of the longest movies in the world, and I actually do remember enjoying the spectacle of the boat - let's face it, it was a cool ship. I must have been a dumb kid, hoping that the boat would be OK and everyone would survive. I then probably watched it again around 2010 - give or take a few years. As a person who has seen it twice, I think I'd prolly give it a miss for a third time - and to be thoughtful to the new generation coming through, who can't sit still and watch anything longer than TikTok - I thought I'd help by MEME'ing it for you.
