We Never Left the Titanic

Twenty-five years later, discourse around the film is as lively as ever.

This month marks 25 straight years of our ongoing debate about how many people can fit on a big wooden door in the frigid Atlantic Ocean. The minute you read that sentence, your brain automatically replied with whatever opinion about it you've held all this time. That's as it should be. We all must be able to immediately plunge back into the debate, like the Heart of the Ocean necklace sinking beneath the waves. This is our duty to the legacy of Titanic, one of the last glorious vestiges of a global obsession.
