With James Cameron having converted "Titanic" to 3-D in celebration of the film's 15th anniversary, watching the new version also points up just how unnecessary such technological gimmicks are when you have a perfectly good original in the first place.
为了庆祝电影《泰坦尼克号》15周年的庆典,詹姆斯·卡梅隆已经将电影《泰坦尼克号》改编成为3D版。观看这个新版本的同时,我们发现,当你能够在一开始有一个完美的原始版本,科技噱头显得多么的没有必要。
Different people have their options for this controversial movie. Someone loves this movie, however, loathes it. As "Titanic" goes back into our lives in 3D, The Washington Post raised a great debate. It posted a vote “ Is Titanic Art or junk?” on its website. Till today, about 37% readers regard it as art, but 67% voters think it is an iceberg in the ocean of American culture. Let us see some comments.
对这部备受争议的电影,不同的人有不同的观点。有些人爱这部电影,然而,也有人讨厌它。当《泰坦尼克号》把我们的生活带到3D的世界,《华盛顿邮报》提出了一个巨大的辩题。《华盛顿邮报》在自己的网站上发起了一个投票,“到底泰坦尼克号是艺术品,还是垃圾?”截止今天,大约有37%的读者认为他是个艺术品,但是有67%的投票者认为他是美国文化海洋中的一座冰山。让我们来看看一些评论吧!

rowunderca写道:……卡梅隆在《阿凡达》里也做了一些相同的尝试:用不同的文化和面具作为隐喻来比喻对亲密行为的追求。我认为在《泰坦尼克号》里,而不是《阿凡达》里,这个技术有成功的效果。
