Movies play a fundamental role in our lives. They help us escape to worlds we’ve never been to before. They project majesty and create stories that people love to see over and over again. Some of the stories that people love to hear over and over are about ships. For whatever reason, movies involving ships always tend to have a special place in our hearts. This article will take a look at some of our favorite movies involving a ship. New and old, these movies will help you appreciate the sea.
I don’t know of anyone who can help crying every time they see the Titanic. Now we, as a public, have a second chance to see it in theaters again. One hundred years ago, the Titanic set sail in hopes of having one of the best voyages to New York in history. However, what happened instead was one of the most tragic accidents in history. The movie stays true to the story about the ship’s unfortunate end and also includes a little love story. How can you not love a story about people from different worlds coming together?
If you love a good classic movie, then something to remember should definitely be on the list. The film takes place on a cruise ship. Two people continue to cross paths during the journey and a love-hate relationship develops. However, like all love movies, they eventually find out that they are in love with each other. Then they must decide what to do with their loved ones once they get off the ship. Yes, all of this happens in a short boat trip.
We have grown up thinking that pirates are mysterious and dangerous thieves who rule the open sea. Disney has helped us show us another side. Sure, there is still danger and mysterious happenings, but audiences can stay away from the Pirates of the Caribbean series. What started out as a ride at his theme park turned into box office gold.
Another movie about a ship that takes us back in history is Pearl Harbor. The filmmakers were able to take us back in time to what the world was like during the 1940s. America was desperately trying to stay out of another World War and was trying to stay out of everyone’s business. Yet Japan lured us in by bombing Pearl Harbor and causing widespread damage in Hawaii. If you love movies about war and love a bit of romance, this movie is for you.
All these films focus on how ships have played a fundamental role in history and in our lives. All of these stories also serve as cautionary tales. You never know what can happen when you are in the open sea or if you are in port. One way to protect yourself is by purchasing boat insurance. Obviously you know that it will cost you a little more each month but as we have seen throughout history, not having insurance can cost you in the long run. So remember safety and secure your boat before you hit the water.
