The 1997 film ‘Titanic’ has climbed into the top ten most-watched movies on Amazon Prime in the US, as viewers were reminded of the film due to the unfolding tragedy of the Titan submarine’s implosion. The movie follows the doomed voyage of the real-life ship RMS Titanic that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912. The film’s popularity surged after news broke of the Titan submersible’s devastating tragedy, claiming the lives of CEO Stockton Rush, French Navy veteran Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman, who was only 19 years old.
The Titanic movie was directed by James Cameron and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It tells the story of Rose and Jack, who fell in love on the ship despite their different societal backgrounds. The pair witnesses the Titanic hit the iceberg causing it to sink. Rose declined to board one of the lifeboats, choosing to stay behind with Jack instead, ultimately leading to them holding onto a piece of wood floating in the freezing ocean.
The film was re-released for its 25th anniversary in February and is one of the highest-grossing movies of all time at £1.7 million. The Wikipedia page for Titanic also saw a surge in clicks this week. This comes after director James Cameron, who has visited the world’s most well-known shipwreck over 30 times, discussed the similarities between this tragedy and the Titanic disaster, where the captain repeatedly ignored warnings about an incoming iceberg, but continued at top speed. The Titan submersible tragedy saw all the crew killed in one fell swoop.
