Titanic on Film: Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)

Here I put my cards on the table: Unsurprisingly, I'm a huge James Cameron fan and absolutely enamored of his deep sea exploration. In this episode I summarize, historicize, and review his 2003 documentary Ghosts of the Abyss, which took him and a team back down to Titanic in submarines fitted with 3-D cameras he'd designed alongside his brother. There's also a lot of Bill Paxton love here--he's the host of the film, in a way, and guides us through the wreck. Full disclosure I cry every time I watch this. I might have cried while recording this episode. I recommend reading Rebecca Keegan's book on Cameron--The Futurist: The Life and Films of James Cameron (2009).
