I just saw it this evening, finally have some time (I have a million other shows to watch for it, so watching this now is just for you, RE).
I have to say I was quite impressed. It was very good, overall.
I had a beef with the 3rd-class treatment, but that may be expected at that time; just that it was more blatant than other details. Also bugged me that they made Olympic out to be niggling on details and “idiotic”, but that was brief.
I was so sad by the little boy. I fear he died. Little children in trouble really upsets me now, that I have a little 4yo boy.
But I was impressed by the movie overall. A good move-along story for just about anyone to watch.
Each visitor was given a "passport" with the identity of a real passenger. They were not told till the end of the tour if they survived.
.
“The same clothing that had looked perfectly normal to me two hours earlier now looked so ugly and unflattering. It was an odd feeling.”
Good. We need more of that feeling, and less of “casual Friday”.
Wow...if you walked thru an exhibit with a “passport” that attached you to a real passenger...
Interesting twist that would bring things home like no other.
I have to ask...were you a survivor?
The exhibit brought so many people we were too busy to take the tour ourselves!
I did the tour with two other people. 2 of us (including myself) didn’t make it and 1 did.
