Richard Burton

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Titanic (1997): 1 line

1. unmapped (shared-technology) · through Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), which they were tied to as Weir's ideal Aubrey (deceased): Titanic ⇒ Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (the host's read). The film exists because James Cameron's Mexican Titanic tank, with a gimbal, was still usable for the ship set.

   “James Cameron had done the legwork to build out the system to be able to basically shoot this on a gimbal in a tank of a proper set.”

What was said about them, by kind

people (1)

1. people (casting-ideal): Russell Crowe → Richard Burton. Weir's ideal Aubrey would have been Richard Burton; Crowe is the closest you get in 2000, and Hodgman says Burton lacks Crowe's humor.

   “Weir says his ideal choice would have been Richard Burton. Unfortunately, he was very dead.”
