project for media feminists
Sep. 6th, 2009 09:24 pmI would love LOVE to see some fandom feminists get their hands on this. How about some bitching about editing on a movie that removes a female-centric POV, instead of making up shit to complain about in movies that DO have a woman/women as the central plot-driver?
If you're wondering if you should click, it's basically about a fanedited version of "Titanic" that takes out important references to Rose and her role in the film. The description word for word: Titanic is the most successful movie of all time (currently). It is about one of the worst catastrophes that ever happened, it is about human arrogance and the cruelty of nature. And it is a about a love that was not supposed to happen. The reaction, when you talk to people about this movie are pretty interesting. Women love it, men hate it. The reason fo rthat is the first 90 minutes of the movie, which are about the treasure hunt nowadays and old Rose’s memories of her life on the Titanic, featuring a long and detailed story about the rich and beautiful, yet so unhappy first class people on this ship. When the iceberg finally arrived and the drama was about to start, it was all too late already: men were annoyed or sleeping. But this drama was really well filmed. The entire movie is really well played and there is so much atmosphere in it, that it would be a waste if men could never enjoy this at all. Therefore this one needed a fanedit and hopefully it can do what the original couldn’t: entertain men.
