Why not? I think it would be great, particularly if they did it in period costumes and used the menus from the original.
Titanic was real, and those people died. Would you recreate the last days of your grandparents and how they died? I guess maybe I have a different viewpoint as I have been to Belfast and walked in the footsteps of those who built the ship and I have been to Cobh, in Cork, and walked in the footsteps of the last passengers to get on the ship.
And yes there is a huge difference between making a film like James Cameron did and building a real life replica of the ship, with passengers in period costumes and doing the exact same route from Southampton, to Cherburg, to Cobh and then to New York.
I am just wondering you opinion on historical places that have been rebuilt. For instance the slave quarters at Mount Vernon, Monticello or Colonial Williamsburg to name just a few. I love to go to these historical places and learn about different times. The information learned is valuable while tragic. I would see the Titanic as something similar showing the historical time period. I would love to go on it. It was a beautiful ship with such details.
I do not know the places you named. But I can put it in context of The Titanic Museum in Belfast. It is a new specially designed building, which has been built on the grounds of the shipyard where Titanic was built. It tells the story of Belfast and ship yard workers in 1912. They use the original blue prints and plans to recreate parts of the ship. They even went as far as getting the original carpet makers and furniture makers to recreate items from the ship. Outside the building you can walk down to the actual slip way where Titanic was.
When I go there, to me its like going to a graveyard and paying respect. Its telling the story and remembering and honoring the forgotten craftspeople who made Titanic possible. Its the real story of the real people, in the actual place where it all happened. Its not someone's modern day sanitized fun version.
The places I am referring to are living historical museums. I see these places as places of education. They have rebuilt the slave quarters of many of the southern plantations. Many of the workers who are historical interpreters have ties to the plantations, meaning their ancestors worked and lived on the plantations. It is a valuable part of history for people to experience and learn from. I love history and all parts of history the good and bad. I would love to get to Europe to see and experience the history there. I see a rebuilt Titanic as a historical museum. I think it would be incredible to see it but that is my opinion. The photos do not do it justice I wish I could see it in person.
