The Green Quote: Titanic’s Environmental Message

October 9th 2008

“It’s not too long a bow to draw that in Titanic, one of the many elements … was environmental. The ship was metaphorically the most powerful, most advanced, most privileged ship – a microcosm of the world with the rich and the poor who were all on this great ark – and, because of hubris, it was brought down. You don’t have to dig too deep to see the environmental analogy in the most successful film of all time.”

–Director George Miller speaking with the Sydney Morning Herald on the greening of Hollywood.

  1. Expect nothing less from a guy who made a trilogy of Mad Max films premised on oil wars causing a global apocalypse.

    When is number IV coming out? The future doesn’t look to great.
