Anti-patriarchy, anti-marriage, anti-white (on the false premise that the Irish were not considered white), keep this film far away from teens. Female nudity and whirlwind romance will be powerful bait for young men and women respectively, and the trap is misandry. The narrative here is that the success and prosperity of pre-World War society was illegitimate because women and Irish were oppressed; the WASP male oppressors' ship (patriarchy), thought invincible, was destined to split apart and sink, and they deserved it. Totally focused on the personal interactions of the main characters, nothing whatsoever is said of the susp*cious circumstances surrounding the historical shipwreck itself. Much is made of the idea of love at first sight, everlasting love, and individual freedom. If these ideals are framed are the true protagonists of the film, then the antagonists are responsibility, expectations, and propriety. The moralizing here is short sighted rebellion against perceived injustice at the expense of one's benefactors.

Visually impressive, but do not be dazzled. Watch critically. (And that goes for everything put out by Hollywood, ever!)
