< . . .Titanic. The
script was a joke, the acting was a bigger joke, but it was a really
wonderful evocation of a particular time and place - and had staggeringly
good special effects>

What bothered me most about this production was the sanitizing of a tragic
and terrifying event, i.e.: the bright bahamian-blue water below decks as
the ship
sinks, the over-colorized and glowing  lighting,  etc.  He should have
changed to a 
(LEICA) "nocti" and "3200" once the iceberg hit. . .I'm sure for those who
were there, 
it was very dark, cold,  grainy and black & white that terrible night!
