Episode 22 - Titanic (1997)

02/18/21 • 53 min

Tune into this special Valentine’s Day episode of The Parkway Podcast as the team discusses the iconic romantic historical fiction film ‘Titanic’ (1997) directed by James Cameron. This monster of a movie (in more ways than one) tells you the tale of a seventeen-year-old aristocrat (played by 21-year-old Kate Winslet) as she falls in love with a kind but poor artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic (RIP). At the time, it was one of the most expensive films ever made and won many awards equivalent of that value. Would things have ended differently if Rose had stayed in her lifeboat? Would they have lived their lives together if Jack would have lived? Is the modern-day context with treasure hunting Bill Paxton really necessary? Can more than one person float on a large, ornate wooden door? These questions and more will be answered by the Parkway Podcast team.
