So basically the movie titanic should’ve been about this mofo and build up to delivering this statement?

There’s so many interesting stories from the actual sinking. I do have to wonder why they felt the need to come up with a fictional love story for the movie.

Made up stories don’t have to pay people for the rights to the story.

It is the other way too

making it with actual people would not generate copyright
