I agree with you Charlie - I think people are reading your post and assuming you think that nobody would know what the Titanic is if it wasn't for the film. That's not the case. But the memory of the disaster of the Titanic has been given longevity thanks to the film. It would still be in the news now with the 100 year anniversary rolling around if there hadn't been a film - but it wouldn't have such an important place in popular culture nowadays if it hadn't been for that film. It's like anything else from history - we remember the memorable, and what we find memorable depends what is presented to us in the most accessible form, I think, and a Hollywood film is precisely one way to do that. Anyway, the balloon structure is cool! Thanks for sharing Patrick!
