cleolindaQuick question for you guys: I'm watching Titanic, and my understanding is that Ioan Gruffudd is somewhere in this movie (and you know me; I can't pass up a "Fifth Officer Horatio Hornblower" joke). Is he, in fact, the one who's helping load the lifeboats and then freaks out and starts shooting (at) people about an hour from the end?
ETA: You know, if I had waited thirty minutes, I would have noticed that Ioan is totally the guy on The One Boat That Went Back. Silly me. So yes, it's him, both times (you can check the subtitles for his character's name, Lowe).
(Goddamn movie. I snickered through the whole thing, and then Rose got to Titanic Heaven and the damn thing cracked me like a nut. Stupid movie. *sniff*)

Date: 2004-08-03 11:20 am (UTC)After reviewing, I'm not sure about the "Titanic Heaven" question. I always thought it was just a dream Rose had, maybe one she'd been having over and over through her long post-1912 life. I always just went, 'Aww, look, all her ship friends", but I noticed this time that only people who actually died in the sinking appear in Titanic Heaven--hence the name, I guess. So maybe she did die after (pointlessly, in my view) returning the diamond to the chilly heart of the North Atlantic.

Chivalrous no matter the movie. Awww. Hope that hepled.

I find that I am emotionally opposite. I cry during the whole film, and then die of cheese overload when she gets to "Titanic heaven."

Date: 2004-08-01 08:57 pm (UTC)I am confused. She doesn't *actually* die at the end, does she? I haven't seen in in forever and my eyes tended to be tearing up from laughter re: the ridiculousness of throwing EIGHT KAJILLION DOLLARS INTO THE OCEAN, but... I'm still confused.
