: And for the record, Titanic was shit for the following reason - It was a HUGE embellishment on the truth.. People actually believe the first officer shot a passenger then killed himself, when all he did was fire in the air to stop the screaming.. He survived and was given commendations in actuality... I hope his family get all they are sueing Cameron for.
i don't think Titanic was ever billed as a documentary... while a lot of the background story and minor characters are based on fact and real people, the story itself is fictional, and no one has ever claimed differently.
