God Moves on the Water (2008)
In a mischievous media remix, Erik Bünger cross-wires vastly disparate cultural responses to the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, jamming the smooth road by which history becomes popular myth. The music video for Céline Dion’s chartbuster My Heart Will Go On (1997) is manipulated and scored to Blind Willie Johnson’s gospel song God Moves on the Water (1929). Instead of an ode to eternal love, Dion now sings praise of God’s implacable wrath.

Very disappointing...
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
