If you watch Titanic backwards it's about a magical boat from under-the-sea that saves a bunch of people from drowning.
👌🏻👌🏻
I like this comment
You just made me like this movie a whole lot better! Many thanks!
hahahahahaha Best comment ever!!! I´ll buy you a beer great man.
CaptainTripppz you missed something. In the beginning a creepy old lady throws a magic amulet in the pacific and brings the titanic to life
"This was before women were legally allowed to swim" Brilliant!!!
Ikr
There's also a part where a guy carefully erases a drawing of his naked love interest before telling her to get dressed.
I know right! What a twat
I still can't believe there was a whole olympic pool inside the titanic. Like why lol
"Suddenly, just when you think the boat isn't going to hit an iceberg, it totally does." I'm dying over here man!
Ikr!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

"The first of thirty three Great Depressions."
Jesus.
How many have so far? 3? (30's, 70's, 00's)
30 more to go! (Then we all die, or America stops existing)
Crick1952 The 70's might count for the gas crisis, but I don't think I'd count the 00's as a "great depression" - just a regular one. The Great Depression of the 30's turned the entire country upside down. I can only imagine the 31 or 32 we have left. :-P
Crick1952 Don't forget the bank panic of 1907 and the savings and loan crisis of the 80s.
Airis Dämon I did forget/wasn't aware of those. I guess it's a little late for this, as I've shown it already, but history was easily my worst subject in school. :-P
CANNON BALL

The deadpan delivery of all these videos is beautiful. You always make me laugh.
~_~
+Wisecrack when you were saying what the Titanic was based on you were saying stuff about the wrong Titan its a book not a TV show
+Hannah Grunkemeyer actually, titanic is based off of a true story. it was a real ship that really sank. only some of the characters are made up
+Carolyn Yang (ILOVEMONEY1536) it was made in 1997, NOT in 1979
+Amber Coleman I know
Money... a transactional placeholder with NO inherent value.
What a gem!
+Learner-Learns i LOVED that description too! Very perspicacious.
Precisely! Garex Wormuloid is the fount of economic truth!
Ryan Hall you're welcome; it's always great to look up new words and add them to your lexicon :)
Do you think IOU's are useless? I guess they are...
Anyone with an understanding of what money is could have easily describe it in that exact same way. It's a legally recognized IOU, basically. Nothing super genius about this.
am i the only one to laugh at the single comment asking for titanic
nope, had to scroll to the comments first before I watched the video to see if there was anyone else.
Agent Delta i fuckin lost it right at the beginning
I knew there were Bernie Bros but I didn't know there were Bernie Sluts...
Revolutionary Road really showed how they would have collapsed as a couple.. Hinging their entire relationship on the sweet abandon of the early stages whilst ignoring the clear-cut differences between them and societies impending crash into their dreamlike existence.
Nah, I don't think Jack and Rose from Titanic are the same situation as Frank and April in RR, mostly because of how the two guys differ. Jack's whole deal is that he's a free spirit who lives his life the way he wants to regardless of social expectations, and that's the philosophy that makes him content with his life even though it ends too early. Frank is on the total other end of the spectrum where he wants to leave his mundane life in the suburbs for something more adventurous, but he is too scared to go against the norms prescribed to him by society. This ultimately is what ruins their relationship, so I think if Jack and Rose would have made it because Jack possesses all the qualities that Frank needed to fix his marriage with April.
Did you know the Titanic was part of a major coincidence in history? In 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novella called "Futility". The story was about a British luxury ocean liner named "HMS Titan" that sank after hitting an iceberg while crossing the northern Atlantic ocean. Then, 14 years later in 1912, the exact same thing happened to the RMS Titanic. After that, Robertson renamed his novella "The Wreck of the Titan". Here are some more coincidental things between the Titan and the Titanic.
Both of the ship's names sound similar.
Both ships were dubbed "unsinkable".
Both ships were approximately 800 feet long.
Both ships hit an iceberg, and sank, during the month of April.
Both ships sank a few hundreds miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Both ships resulted in the deaths of nearly 2000 people due the shortage of lifeboats.
creepy
+Teegan Murphy Yeah.
+CanadaDragon1 I got this info when i played 999.
+CanadaDragon I loved reading about that coincidence when I 1st heard about it, as part of the renewed interest in the tragedy after Ballard discovered & photographed it. I really makes you wonder about precognition, doesn't it...? Not the super-accurate sci-fi version, of course, but the quieter possibility that some people may be born with an ability to sense the future, an ability that's just like any other genetic talent, so may be strong or weak. The author of Futility honestly thought he was writing fiction; he had no idea where specific ideas came from that he incorporated into the story. Since people generally don't know where their original, creative ideas come from, who's to say if I'm correct?
+Cathy Vickers It really makes you think! Sorry about that, usually catch my typos.
Totally agree on the Revolutionary Road reference. Jack needed to die to set Rose completly free.
Not like his life mattered at all, as long as the spoiled rich girl gets to lead a long happy life.
+Bill Davis I am aware of how my opionion sounds but for those 2 characters it was just a movie so you have to see the greater picture. In many movies the death of a character is not in vain or just for the sake of emotions, but helps the other characters to grow. It's the story of those 2 and there is a meaning behind his death is all I'm saying.
This wasn't a story, this was real life... :/
+Caellum Jack and Rose weren't and James Cameron wanted to capture the 98% chance to survive of women of the first class and the 8% chance of men of the 3rd, with this massive difference between those two fictional characters, who at the end of it went trough the same disaster.
I disagree, expression that is found in the idea of complete freedom. Is only found if both individuals are in harmony.
As a Christian this written, when Christ said let them be one as we are one.
Can humanity obtain a kind of love?? I think if Jack lived the notion that she wouldn't be free is not true.
Again in Christian theology, love has a purpose and a function, both spiritually and physically.
I believe humanity, can understand true love because of the fallen nature we have, but like titanic it's something we can aspire to!
"Aristocratic life as a stock photo model"
I've always felt that Revolutionary Road operated as a "What If" story for Rose and Jack, showing what would happen to the two if they had both survived the sinking of the Titanic and gone through w/ their plans.
"Neither is he deemed fit to occupy Rose's parts." WHY DO YOU KILL ME IN THIS MANNER I'M CRYING OF LAUGHTER
The Titan's didn't challenge the Greek Gods. The Titan's ruled first and the Greek God's (ie Olympians) overthrew them.
Lori Davies guess... Cronus Should have swallowed... oh wait..
everything would have been different if Rhea had swallowed instead...

1:33 sory.That is my favorite part
The minute he said "Cannonball!" is when I lost it. That's so dark yet hilarious.
So ... in your society, you can only declare war by sketching your opponent wearing nothing but a trinket?
That's pretty complicated for such an advanced alien race.
Wow, that Marxian philosopher made a really good point. I always knew that ending was shit for some reason, and having it put in words alleviated this stress in my gut that I was unaware of.
My favorite movie ever! Kate Winslet looked absolutely beautiful in this film. Both her and Leo were phenomenal in it. It will always be one of the best movies ever created. Masterpiece! It deserved the 11 Academy Awards that it won!
Blade runner please.
In fact anything that's cyberpunk would be good
Ooooh yass!! Muh bodeh is redy!!!
Akira? Ghost in the Shell? Those would be awesome!
***** death note, i know it a series but dammit I need this
Dylan Ost Not just Death Note, Code Geass. I'm almost positive Code Geass's hidden meaning is about the Overman.
YES GitS pls
Trollex dudu agreed!!! ghost in the shell and the sequel, dont think i undertood all of it, theres just so much to unpack in it, its crazy.

Thanks a lot ! Been waiting for your uploads for sometime Wisecrack particularly this and the 8-bit philosophy.
OMG, where as this channel been hiding?! LOVE it so much!
I love these so much. That's it, just wanted to share that.
I love this so much lol, this is my kind of humor for sure.
Finally!!! been waiting for this a long long time :) YEAAAA LOVEEE YOU ALLL!!
I can't say enough positive things about your channel! You deserve your own TV show and all the success coming your way!
Zizek? AND SO ON AND SO ON AND SO ON
I can hear him now. Mmm, that saliva in the space between his cheeks and his molars; that sweet, sweet sound that is so reminiscent of Donald Duck. And the hand gestures that accompany him, loose fingers and a speedy circling motion with his forearm. And he always scratches at his nose, moving its cartilage-filled tip and inhaling.
This became a very sensual comment. I apologize. Anyways,
yah lawl he says tha
MelancholyImbecilism Dont forget those beautifully pit-stained T-shirts.
Luis Dias Lol. But his interpretation of The Titanic, I like it.
2cents If you liked it, you should watch his two documentaries, they are all about movies. "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema" and "The Pervert's Guide to Ideology". Very very entertaining and thought provoking.
Luis Dias
I like them.
Putting a new twist to my favourite movie: 5/5
I love the way Garyx always leans forwards when he says his name
wow dude thats the first video i see from you. What a great format. very very nice idea
I was SO happy to see him use Revolutionary Road as a would-have-been sequel! 😄
Holt shit! This was deeper than I thought it wound be. This Definitely made me rethink everything I thought I knew...
Holy shit! This is deeper than I thought it would be, is just what the captain of the Titanic said when he went down with the ship too.
+Paul Frederick Holy shit! This was deeper than.. Nevermind..
This is the best one yet, my sweet Worm
Love the sound editing in these videos. That bit with Propeller Guy.
can you do more Stanley Kubrick like dr stanglove.
Steven Wills * Dr. String Glove
Rolsification *Bachelor Singluck
Steven Wills Softdick Mckablooey
*Benedict Cumberbatch
do something from monty python, preferably the holy grail
This one was absolutely fantastic, I loved it!
I love the shots from Reservation Road - I always called it "Titanic 2 - Look Who's Talking Now"
I truly hope no one watches these looking for a serious summary of the movie
Or maybe, JUST MAYBE. It is about a real life event in which thousands of people died and a beautiful ship was sunk and the love was just filler. MAYBE.
But the story of Rose was fictional. Which is was is being analyzed in this video... Not the shipwreck.
Thousands of people? Hyperbole much? Some lived, you know? There were only about 2,224 people on board ship in total. In fact only about 2/3s of the people on Titanic actually died when the ship sank. So around 1,500 died in the sinking. The rest all died some time afterwards of other various causes.
He isn't interpreting the tragedy of the Titanic. He is interpreting the story told about Rose and Jack.
You say ONLY 2/3s as if that's not the majority of the passengers.
I just... what? You can't "interpret" a fact as something else.
The way they somehow connected it to The Revolutionary Road is COOL af!
Awesome and witty analogy!!!
do Edge of Tomorrow.
Stock photo model... hilarious!
Spot on, spot on. Absolutely cracking vid.:)
3:43 I remember my 8th grade teacher calling bullshit on that scene. They didn't have alcohol and wild parties...you needed money for that. 😂

StillGotShit4Brains Let's try spinning! That's a good trick!
+StillGotShit4Brains I would love to see Garex proclaim its greatness and act like it was the fan favorite of the franchise, with lovable characters like Jar Jar Binks, etc.
Brilliant interpretation!
Very helpful thanks.
Do SNOWPIERCER!!!!
Second that!
Third that!
He called it a boat. IT'S A GOD DAM FUCKING SHIP. DIFFERENCE: BOAT: SMALL AND DOESN'T SINK BY HITTING AN ICEBERG. SHIP: WITH CABINS AND HITS ICEBERGS THEN SINKS.
triggered 7 year old
arachnid14 Wat
A boat would sink if hit by an iceberg, but the Titanic is a ship.
I build ships for a living. still call them boats on a regular basis. if it can float, it's a boat.
Andre Torrie Whatever you call it, it doesn't matter, it's a floating/moving thing, built by humans to get from point A to point B on water
And Cal found the child and couldn't find the parents so he looked after her and got onto a lifeboat
You are the best Gericks
Do The Silence of the Lambs ;)
So much credit was lost with the DNews link.
Come on earthling cinema....come on..
They were proabably paid to sponser the drivel that is DNews.
Randall Boughton "It helps pay the bills," I guess.
Randall Boughton well you see a lot of education channels try to help one each other out its hard to sell education when have things like pewdiepie
***** Ikr they are pretty good
Just wow! The ice-berg does not only further Titanic's symbolism of fallen hubris, but it also furthers the less-aparent hubris in Rose's and Jack's relationship. Such quick relationships don't usually work (love at first sight... so rare) so in order to preserve the "timelessness" of that relationship, the ice-berg comes in to, in its way, "freeze" the moment into eternity. So we see man's hubris at the societal level with the sinking of the Titanic, as well as man's hubris at the interpersonal level represented by R and J. If it hadn't been for Jack's death, would Rose still be so "in love" with him as we see in the movie? Probably not... So we see hubris/pompousness/drama whatever you want to call represented in more than one way!.
"A transactional placeholder with no inherit value" kind of like gold
I have a problem with Slavoj Zizek's theory about the poor briefly romancing with the rich to revitalize them - there maybe precedent for this in stories, but I don't see it in Titanic. Rose gave up on a life of money - never married Cal or pawned the Saffire - and while she clearly managed lead an interesting life involving flying planes and travel (the details of how aren't told) she didn't seem obscenely well off as an old woman - far from an aristocrat.
Otherwise, while you can argue for symbolism, she lets go of Jack because he is dead, it's the practical thing to do if she's going to save herself.
I think jack's death is what MADE her want to do more, If she had never met jack and the ship sank, she would continue with her spoiled life, or killed herself, But when she met jack, it changed the whole game. She became a different perso
Michael Roberson Yeah, I agree. I was responding to Zizek's interpretation put forward in this video and in "the Pervert's guide to Ideology" which argues that Titanic is another in a line of stories (i.e. lady chatterley's lover) where the upper class character has a fling with a lower class character to find new energy for living, and then casts them aside when their done - a little like vampirism.
Magus Marquillin Eh, Zizek's a Commie, but one of those classic Class Warfare Commies, not one of those "everybody is racist and sexist" Commies. But if you're going to argue that Rose exploited Jack because she was rich and he was poor, you could also argue that she exploited him because she was a woman and he was a man. (Women have intrinsic value because of their childbearing capabilities and men are expected to consider themselves expendable. Therefore Jack had to die so that Rose could live to reproduce. )
theproplady Yeah, "women and children first". That was the prevailing view at the time, and still is I suppose though we try to pretend otherwise.
I was otherwise impressed by the points he made in his movie, so that I have to wonder if I'm missing something on this one. The thing is though, I was originally swayed by a lot of Anita Sarkeesian's points that I've since come come around on hard. Whenever someone sounds warning on ideologies, the first place to look is his/her own.
Or maybe our own. :)
+theproplady
Are you implying zizek doesn't believe in class warfare?
Pause at 1:32
LOL
Very, very well done. Thanks! Love the inclusion of Zizek.
i love these viiiids!!
Sometimes while watching this I like to try to figure out what killed us and when. Apparently we have 33 depressions before we go and we currently have two (long depression and great depression). Also, we go before the ice caps melt. Since 100 years is to sort a time for thirty one depressions, I have to assume that global warming gets solved or delayed. So since the next glacial period is predicted to happen in around 50000 years, and assuming a depression every hundred years, we apparently bite it between 5000 and 50000 CE. Any sooner, and it would imply long strings of depression that are still not the same depression. Any longer, and we wouldn't be able to melt our polar ice caps and so that comment about us dying before we could would be strange.
Any other help dating the future destruction of mankind? Perhaps someone knows how we die?
I think that, since the movies seem deteriorated by flame, perhaps a big firey asteroid wiped us all out.
Adam Billman wait it really depends on what you mean by "melt" do you mean melt completely or just enough to cause real problems because 100 years is almost one person's max lifespan and while I do admit I know nothing of global warming or how it works I still HIGHLY doubt it will ever happen in my life time I mean 100 years is not as long as people make it out to be...
The Random One Maybe it's like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, where the aliens came to Earth on an asteroid. I urge others to join this discussion!
6:01
The audio-visual sync makes it seem like your most renowned scholars are a bunch of sea animals
I just found out about these and binge watched them all! :D
lol loved it great video!:)
Holy mountain please

You guys did a great job, i think this is really well made, along with all your other hidden meaning videos, please do more! This is one of my favorites along with "Forrest Gump" "The Godfather", "The Big Lebowski" and others... :)
That beginning, though! I lol'd.
I love how most the recommendations here suck.
My Autobiography A Fanfic haha
My Autobiography A Fanfic Why be negative bro? We're all chill here.
Jenifer Joseph Not negative, it's just the suggestions are what they use to decide which movies to cover. The show is something great as long as nostalgia and Disney are completely avoided.
No, the real meaning behind Titanic is to see Kate Winslet topless !
"CANNONBALL!!!!!"
smack lol
That one request. That single "pew".
I lost.
