painful boat ride

Rating: 5/10 (31 May 2002)

This movie was more like the Titanic than just a sinking ship. It went down with the boat, with numerous places where the fiction over road the fact and the history of the event, as well as the design of the boat, were forgotten. I've spoken with many history buffs about this movie and they were all appalled, siting instances when the movie was incorrect. One case, the director chose to leave out one of the smoke stacks for aesthetic appeal. Leonardo was charming and Kate was beautiful, but they were perhaps the only redeeming qualities of this movie. A tragic event to make a profit from, I think.
