What’s so scary about this is that in real time when it happened, it was literally pitch black outside. Those people were in the water couldn’t even see their hand in front of their face :(

[@gPrussia11]

I always think Fabrizio is under appreciated. He was cutting the ropes of a life boat he was not on to try and free it and save others

[@elenasingleterry5854]

They had a much bigger story for him initially. There were scenes of his romance with Helga, the blond girl he was dancing with that fell into water when rose and Jack were holding on to the head of the ship at the end. But Cameron cut all those scenes out due to length and also he decided not to take away from the main love story. The actor who played Fabrizio was of course upset when he realized those scenes were cut.

Its been tested and proven multiple times that had Jack gotten on the door with Rose, they would have both been exposed to enough of the freezing water that neither would have likely survived. He stayed off the door to save her.

[@lynni_111]

Plus, I don’t think people understand the concept of weight. Two people on that heavy door, would have sunk it deeper

The thing I've never understood is why this crazy debate endures. I mean, they literally show it in the scene. Jack tried to get on with Rose and flips the panel. It didn't have the buoyancy to support them both so Jack chooses to sacrifice himself.

[@rde4017]

Nope, provided they got their body core out of the water they could have both survived.

[@raloria9173]

Great reaction! The debate about whether Jack could've lived has been huge since the movie came out. However, there is a program (the video is here on KZbin) where Cameron tested the theory with 2 actors being Rose & Jack on a similar piece of wood and re-creating the cold water and everything as best they could. His conclusion was that if both of them were on the piece of wood, it would've submerged under the water enough to drop their body temperatures too much and they both would've died. So in essence, Jack made the right choice with keeping Rose on the piece of wood by herself.

[@MamiGigglez]

I was looking for this comment! So many people don't know about that testing, it was very interesting.

[@ElvishReactions]

Well I also figured too that they were so frozen by then, maybe they couldn't even move properly to get themselves both on the door.

[@derbydriver]

The “4 hours” thing… Carpathia absolutely did “step on it”. The moment their captain got the distress call, he ordered Carpathia to be turned around and run at full steam to Titanic’s locations. They shut off hot water supply to passengers to ensure the engines were getting every last drop of steam. Carpathia was designed to run at 14.5 knots max, but she was run at 17 knots for the majority of her 4 hour journey to Titanic. They only slowed down to navigate the ice field that claimed Titanic. Captain Rostron had his ship organized and ready to take on survivors the instant they arrived, with blankets and hot coffee and soup prepared and space made for medical care. As Rostron was quoted in saying, “everything that can humanly be done has been done”. Carpathia and it’s crew, and even some of its passengers, did absolutely everything they could.

[@demonqueen881]

You are absolutely correct. The Carpathia could have easily succumbed to devastating engine failure running so hot. And they even did have near misses of their own with icebergs during the run. Rostron and his crew deserve every praise for what they did that night.

[@Varekai0723]

Billy Zane as Cal is doing a mid-Atlantic accent, a hybrid between standard American and English accents. A lot of actors during the Golden Age of Hollywood spoke like this in their movies.

[@suvijii841]

Their chemistry played a big part in the film's success. That combined with the wild story & amazing camera works & special effects etc etc, are the reason for all of the well earned academy awards. This has also aged really well, and still is worth watching.

[@lisal.4498]

My favorite scene is when all the classes stood together applauding Jack and Rose at the very end.

[@schnubbel76]

The scene that gives me so many chills is how Rose is blowing the whistle at the end. 59:12 The intensity in her eyes, blowing her soul into that whistle with all the strength she has left with the willpower to survive no matter what and keep her promise. So much emotion in this.

[@angelalurtz3638]

So, this whole "was there room on the door" thing has been hotly debated, but the Myth Busters laid it to rest. By surface area alone, they could have both fit, BUT the door was not buoyant enough to hold up the weight of both people. The only reason she would have survived is that the door held her heart above surface level and kept her body temperature just slightly higher than the people who were submerged. If they had taken turns or something, her body temperature would have dropped just as low as his did, and neither would have survived.

[@Bugster-50907]

Everyone you see in the last scene died during the sinking and its implied that her being with jack and everyone else there means she passed, an old lady warm in her bed just as jack said, to join them.

Kate Winslet said the light was natural! Whenever the sun was about to set, Cameron ordered them to immediately go and shoot a scene lol It's actually so interesting, you're the first person I'veen who noticed the scene at 26:50 is blurry! Cameron said they managed to get two takes before the sun finally set, but the first one was completely blurry, and the second one, although still slightly out of focus, was good enough to use in a film

[@rlk3490]

Actually, most of the exterior shots were filmed under natural light conditions, including the "I´m flying Jack" scene. The location was Rosarito, in Baja California, Mexico. And most of the rooms of the ship were recreated using the original deck plans of the ship and her sister ship, RMS Olympic, as no actual detailed photographs of the Titanic´s interior areas exist. The staircase´s scale was grown a 10% for cinematic purposes. A curious fact is that the actor who plays John Jacob Astor was actually a surviror of the deadliest maritime disaster ever, the sinking of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff, during operation Hannibal, back in 1945, when he was only 4, and was genuinely frightened during the dome implosion scene.

[@casmatori]

Actually the staircase was slightly smaller than the original

[@16517]

@@casmatori Bigger, Ken Marschall speaks about in the making of the film. They found that people could not pass within a breadth of each other, so it was widened out for the film and to make it look grander.

[@benpugsley3092]

Listening to rose’s voice and her state, she herself was hanging on by a thread. I think that is another good factor to take in in regards to them both being on the door. She survived but barely. Had they both been on the door they both would have died. Like she couldn’t even scream or yell or even talk loudly to alert the boat that she was alive

[@mrich1976]

To the point on the lifeboats, a couple of things: 1. Up to that point in maritime travel, lifeboats were simply thought of as ways to "ferry" passengers back and forth from the distressed ship to a rescue ship. 2. While they didn't have enough lifeboats for all onboard, I don't think it would have mattered. Remember that Thomas Andrews told them that they had an hour, or two at the most (the total time from the time the ship hit the iceberg until it finally went under was about 2 hours and 40 minutes). If you figure 2,200 people on the ship, and each life boat holds 65 people 35 boats would have been "sufficient" for all the passengers. Unfortunately, what was working against them was damage to the ship, and time. If you look at a timeline of the sinking, they didn't really start to put people in the boats until about an hour after the collision (because they didn't, up until that point, fully understand what was going on). Titanic had a total of 20 boats, but 18 were launched. Collapsible D was the last lifeboat successfully launched at 2:05 AM. There simply wasn't enough time to launch more boats. If you figure it takes roughly 10 minutes to launch a boat, it took them an hour and 20 minutes just to launch all the boats. At that point, you're 2 hours and 20 minutes into the sinking. That doesn't give time to launch other boats, given how quickly things had already accelerated to that point. Also, with regard to the iceberg collision, I think it's probably a bit of that Bruce Ismay told Captain Smith to keep going fast. Smith was an extremely experienced captain, and Titanic was going to be the flagship of White Star. And going fast through ice fields and such was standard practice at the time by all ships. The thought was that they could see anything large enough to cause significant damage to a ship in time, and thus avoid it. And on the Band playing until the end: That entire sequence is much, much more poignant, and powerful, when you realize that they're playing the hymn "Nearer, My God, To Thee". They knew they were going to die at that point.

[@jimando23]

That was a real outside shot. James Cameron said Kate Winslet had come out on the boat deck and saw the sky and started screaming at the the entire set to "SHOOT!"

But again nothing was certain as Cal could if he really pressed in and Jack got unlucky. Cal was cunning he might choose not to kill Jack if he deems it unnecessary . He only lost it once when he fired at them down the staircase later on. No scenario ensured perfect safety for him but Rose’s comeback provoked Jack’s instinct and determination to protect her and that can play a huge part in ensuring Jack’s survival for some more time. You know some people can look ordinary but when they have to protect the ones they love they can summon the strengths to move moutains.. Again, nothing is certain. Jack might have had a much better chance at survival had she stayed on the boat but her comeback isn’t totally fatal to him. That’s the beauty of this.

I saw Titanic in the cinema in 1998, I still remember the feeling when the movie ended. No one stood up, no one left, we all sat there watching the end credits. I have never experienced this in a cinema before or since. James Cameron did a fantastic job. He personally dived into the Titanic several times in a submarine, he emphasized detail, the interiors of the movie ship were exact replicas of the original cabins, reconstructed according to old photos of the Titanic. Some of the pieces of furniture for the film were made by companies that also made them for the real Titanic. Many people perceive Titanic as a romantic movie, but Titanic is primarily a catastrophic movie! This film was the beginning of two incredible acting careers and a great friendship. In one interview, Kate talked about how she was always mocked because of her figure, because she was chubby by Hollywood standards ... and it was DiCaprio who allegedly told her while filming Titanic that it was time to let go of self-doubt because of her figure. Watch the movie Revolutionary Road from 2008 - Kate and Leo together again, 10 years older. It is very interesting to see them together again, older, more experienced and more mature as actors.

@@that.ll_do_pig that’s exactly my point. A little bit of effort to save both of their lives would have went a long way.

It flipped once, and they just gave up. Yes, my wife would get up there first. But instead of having a chat, I’d be looking for something to help us both.

A few years ago, there was an exhibition in a nearby city where they portrayed stuff they had found on the Titanic. Coins, glasses, silverware, etc. In the last room, three giant walls were covered with lists, naming all the victims, while playing the main theme from this movie (not the Celiné Dion version, the movie version). I had to sit down for a moment, it was so heavy. It's easy to forget that this actually happened, this was a real tragedy. Just like we tend to forget about wars, when it's been enough time for it to be a story, when no one is left to remember it. When it's only on the screen. After viewing that exhibition, I see this movie so differently (but in a good way). 💔 (btw, sorry for bad English, it's not my native language) Btw, these three scenes were improvised; 1. "I'm the King of the World" 2. The table being thrown at breakfast when Cal says Rose is his wife (so Kate's reaction was genuine) and 3. she spitting on him later in the movie (she was supposed to slap him).

Overall, it's a Disaster film, which is a subgenre of Horror. I would argue that while there's a strong element of romance, *Titanic* is not a tragedy, at least in the Aristotelian sense, because what happens to Jack and Rose is not the result of a tragic flaw in either of them, but rather, a result of the unfortunate circumstances in which they find themselves.

11:54 Captain Smith was one of the most (if not the most) experienced captains in White Star, he had decades experience. In fact he used to be a captain on the Olympic which was a twin sister of Titanic, so not only he had the overall sea experience, he knew how to command an Olympic class liner.

The temperature of the water where Titanic sank was 28F or -2C most people died within 5 to 10 minutes some in just seconds due to how cold it was. If all the lifeboats were at full capacity another 400 plus people could have been sayed which just shows you how many empty spaces there were. Thomas Andrews gave the Titanic 90 minutes at best in the end Titanic stayed afloat for 2hrs and 40 minutes nearly double the amount of time. People say that if Titanic had more lifeboats more people would have survived. This is not true as the last 2 collapsible lifeboats A and B just floated off the deck as there was no time to launch them.

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

Small correction but something many people don't realize is that it took Andrews, Captain Smith, and multiple officers 40 minutes to sound the ship and investigate the damage - they didn't conclude she was going to sink until 40 minutes after the collision, and it's at THIS point Andrews gave the ship another 60 to 90 minutes to live. His estimation was actually spot on

[@LizSimpson-rh9id]

To answer a couple of your questions about the making of the movie first of all yes those were real shots on a half built titanic replica that they built the half of to shoot on which was the entire half of the ship just cut in half down the middle for shooting, it was in the water. All the water scenes were real. The sunsets were real, they actually flooded the grand staircase with dumping tons and tons of gallons of water so yeah for 1997 the film was way beyond its years cinematic shooting and special effects

[@vitaboy]

And yes, they filmed the scenes outside on a 3/4 replica of the Titanic they built in a massive pool by the Mexican coast. When you noticed the scene where Jack and Ross are slightly out of focus at the bow of the ship, it’s because they’d been trying to film that scene for 2 weeks by the weather and sunset just wasn’t there. Then one evening, the sky burst into red all of the sudden when everyone had written off doing the scene that day. Kate Winslet literally screamed at James Cameron, “Roll the damn cameras!!!” and she and Leo ran to the bow of the ship and did the scene right then and there. It all happened so spur of the moment that James Cameron only realized the camera was slightly out of focus after the scene was shot. But they decided that was that and never went back to try to fix the focus later, even though Cameron went back and fixed things like the stars in the night sky after Neil deGrasse Tyson noted they were in the wrong position for that date in the theatrical release!

I watched your reaction the first time you uploaded it, and again now, and it’s still a wonderful reaction. I love seeing the effect the film had on you, especially since you’d put off watching it for so long. It’s an incredible film and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 😊

[@RyanCarrington]

Aww thank you, and thanks for watching along 😊

How so?

@@RyanCarrington he drank so much that he wasnt bothered by cold. he also had to pysically place a woman into the lifeboat because she didnt think it safe. and he had the forethought to toss over dozens of deckchairs into the water to help people float. but mostly the drinking

If you want to see elderly Rose (Gloria Stuart) early in her career in Hollywood, check out The Invisible Man (1933).

Sending **virtual hug**. What a Wonderful movie! Leo & Kate claim they've never been more than the best of friends. They probably are the only two that really know the answer to that question. I always enjoy watching people react to this film. Thank you!

[@RyanCarrington]

Thanks for watching along with me 😀

I don't think they've been romantically involved, but they sure are soulmates

[@Bonbonbon739]

They filmed most scenes in Mexico, and and they got really really lucky with the sunset where she goes “ I’m flying” James Cameron talks about it in numerous interviews

[@Bonbonbon739]

It’s crazy that for like seven years, nobody believed the survivor that said see saw the ship break in half. Until they found it. They also said they saw the other ship in the distance while titanic was sinking. But everyone was asleep

[@dracomaster4]

Having had the VHS copy of this that was on two cassettes, I vividly remember that when Cal slaps Rose, that was the beginning of part 2. Strange the things you remember, even after two and a half decades.

[@nici162]

Yes, I remember that aswell now - thank you for pointing that out 👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@boomeister2]

If this movie comes back to theaters for it's 30th Anniversary....GO SEE IT ON A BIG SCREEN!

[@beatleschick1000]

GREAT REACTION!! I’ve seen this movie so many times I almost didn’t watch it again. I thought at the movies three times then many times on DVD and was kind of tired of it but I thought I hear somebody recently that watched it. I’m so very glad I did, you did a great job. Thank you!!!

[@RyanCarrington]

Aw thanks for watching one more time! 🙌

[@deannarusso202]

The song the musicians play at 49:40 is indeed the song the survivors on the lifeboats reported hearing when the ship was going down: “Nearer, My God, To Thee.”

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

It's a bit of a mixed bag. Some survivors report Nearer My God, To Thee and some survivors report Autumn

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

I worked in the Titanic Exhibit when it was at the Omniplex in OKC and I have 3 large albums of research. My main job was answering questions about how the movie is different from the actual event. The quests were given boarding passes with the name of an actual passenger and at the end there was a list, with a lot of mistakes on who survived and who did not. I could tell people what happened to their person if they survived. Yes, there was one car in the hold of the Titanic.

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

Ryan.. you really should check out the making of the movie. Cameron only had a few days to get that kiss at sunset. Every day they got blue skies and then on the last day they got that gorgeous sunset. They only had a few minutes and TWO takes. One was completely out of focus and the one they used was partially in focus. The Making Of really made me appreciate James Cameron as a film maker even more than I already did. His dedication is unparalleled.

[@beantownbrandon302]

I was a 6 yr old boy and watched this movie 4 times in theaters. The first time was me and my father. Even at 6yrs young I understood what was going on in the movie. Incredible directing and storytelling. I cried at the end and I remember all the young girls at the time crying in the theaters. It was an experience I'll never forget. 1997 it was so cheap to go to the movies and everyone went every weekend. Titanic was a cultural phenomenon

[@liannebruehl3761]

I was 12 when I watched this at the cinema. I was still crying 30 minutes after the film had finished. I’m now 38 and still cry 😂

Unfortunately people have to die before safety is treated seriously. Plus i love that jack never foces anything on her, its all her choice. Best soft boy❤ third class was called steerage. And the actors really suffered because the water was freezing 🥶

[@mtrudo]

If you read stories of those first class who survived many had miserable lives after titanic. Either constantly hearing the screams of those who died, losing money just all lives of bad luck. There was one guy who survived in the water because he was severely intoxicated. The liquor kept his blood really warm.

[@sprayarm]

You probably already know it, but the older couple embracing in bed while water flowed below was Ida and Isidor Straus, co-owners of Macy Department Stores who perished in the sinking.

[@rx7dude2006]

It wasn't the matter of space on the door that Rose was on it was buoyancy it wouldn't keep them both above the water.

[@rama30]

The Captain was White Star Lines poster boy. This was to be his final trip after a long and amazing career. When the ship docked in New York he would walk off and retire. A tragic end after a glorious career.

Cal is supposed to be an upper class American with a Mid-Atlantic type accent. That accent has pretty much disappeared over the later half of the 20th century.

13:32 tbf the irish say "Built by the Irish, sunk by the English" 🤣🤣

[@abigailjohnson4270]

I took my son. They re-released it this year (for valentines,yup). He wanted to see it, & I’d said it needed to be big screen for a first viewing as it hits like a truck from the iceberg onward. There were few of us in there who’d seen it, most hadn’t. The stunned silence and the sounds of crying said it all. And even tho I’d seen it countless times over the years, watching it on the big screen is still so impactful. It was done practically, in real life with real people. Those blue lips weren’t make up. He’d done The Abyss which I guess gave him the water training for this but the danger to the extras was so real. If u can get to watch the hours of extras on the DVDs then do, it’s really good. The fact he built that half of the ship for real in the biggest water tank ever used for a film, on a humble so they could have it tilted as in the sinking, shows how invested Cameron was. Down to the carpet in the dining room being made by the actual company that made the original for the ship, to the exact pattern. Cameron was completely accurate as much as was possible to the original. The studio thought it would flop. Goes to show what they know. It rightly swept the board at the Oscars. It’s a masterpiece. And filmed for real. And u can truly tell.

[@cindyknudson2715]

Another movie that NEEDS to be seen at the theater is _Close Encounters of the Third Kind._ Being there on that road as the ships fly right over your head..... Such a _WOW_ moment.

[@kellygilbert736]

Yes, that scene was filmed outside. And was so hard to capture during the right lighting, which is why, as you noticed there is a brief slightly blurred shot in the mix 😂 nice call.

[@PhoenixFire2]

This movie does not portray J Bruce Ismay well. First, he had no hand in the ship hitting an iceberg at all. He was the chairman of the White Star Line, but he was also a passenger. Captain Smith could have ignored him entirely. Ismay did not encourage Smith to sail dangerously fast at night, if he did mention speed at all it was merely to ask Smith if they could test the speed of the ship at some point before they reached New York. This would have been something done in daytime. And second, he didn't sneak into a lifeboat when the officer's back was turned. According to Ismay himself, he stepped into a boat when there were no women and children left in the area and Officer Murdoch said nothing about it. According to other eyewitnesses, Murdoch told him to get into the boat. First class passenger William Carter backed him up, saying that there were no women and children left in the area around Boat C when they boarded. Officer Murdoch had, throughout the night, been allowing men into the boats when there were no more women and children around to load into them. There's no reason why he would have been upset with Ismay, Ismay was a passenger and Murdoch was doing his job by putting as many people as he could into the boats. Ismay probably left that out because, let's be honest, who would have believed him? Of course he would say that an officer told him to get into the boat. It's exactly the excuse a coward would give to say why he was there and all those others died. All it would have done is added one more death to the total if he had stayed onboard Titanic. There's a deleted scene where he has a small mental breakdown during the sinking and tries to hurry the officers, trying to get them to load the boats as quickly as possible before one of the officers snaps him out of it. This did happen in real life. The man was trying as best he could to save as many people as possible, but was going about it in the wrong ways due to panic and lack of experience. He was a businessman, not a sailor. The movie takes the common media portrayal of Ismay as a coward who caused the disaster then saved his own skin. This reputation is almost entirely because Ismay had the misfortune of pissing off William Randolph Hearst, the man who basically owned the entire media in the United States. It was a smear campaign that lasted not only the rest of Ismay's life, but well beyond it. People who knew Ismay said that he basically died twice. Once in 1937 from complications related to diabetes, and once in April of 1912. He never recovered from the sinking mentally, and lived the rest of his life only speaking about the sinking one time to one of his grandchildren. Survivor Jack Thayer was one of the only people to see Ismay onboard the Carpathia after the sinking, and he said that "I have never seen a man so completely wrecked." And Thayer had lost his own father in the sinking. Ismay spent the trip to New York on Carpathia alone in the Carpathia's doctor's cabin, barely eating and spending most of his time drugged up on opiates. He was the first to testify on the disaster in the United States. Sorry for the wall of text here, but looking into Ismay has made me quite sympathetic to the man. He genuinely did try to do everything he could to save lives during the sinking, and was unfairly maligned by the press simply for surviving. Maybe he wasn't a "hero", but he definitely wasn't a "villain."

[@mrskimtaehyung9095]

2 fun facts for the drawing scene. Leo actually messed up when he said "the bed, the couch" and James Cameron decided to keep it in and the close up of the drawing was actually James Cameron drawing. Also if both of them would have made it on the door, they would have sunk the door to where they were constantly in the water

[@DataIsMyHero]

20:38, there were no photographs of the real Titanic’s grand staircase; there were very few photographs at all of any of the interiors. The photos you can find on the internet (grand staircase and most of the interiors) were actually taken on the sister ship, the Olympic. The film version, while very similar, and very beautiful, was missing quite a few details.

[@theturtlearchives]

Yes they filmed those golden scenes outside, thats why the scene was slightly out of focus too, because they only got that good light ONCE

[@js6729]

Dude I'm not gonna lie, at the time this movie came out when I saw it I thought this was 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back. But it's actually grown on me over the years

[@jennujor1551]

Very sadly its been said that if the Titanic would have hit the iceberg straight on, instead of trying to turn, only the front of the ship would've been damaged...and it would've stayed afloat smh 😔

[@RyanCarrington]

Yeah, I'd heard that steering away wasn't helpful 😕

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

While that's absolutely true, numerous passengers and crew in the bow would've been killed in the collision and the highest officer on watch (Murdoch) would have been arrested and court marshalled for driving the most expensive luxury liner in the world head-on into an iceberg. The first intention of an experienced mariner is to try to avoid a collision, not to perform one.

[@gretski47]

It's now generally accepted that the "Full Astern" order was not given, therefore the turning speed of the ship wasn't compromised. Some maritime experts have said that the subsequent "hard a port" order (to swing the ship's stern clear) actually prevented the damage extending all the way down the side of the ship. Had this happened, its possible the Titanic may have rolled and capsized, or sunk much more quickly with almost total loss of life

[@Jihna-v9i]

I saw this the weekend it opened in theaters. I was 16 and its one thing to watch it on tv....but it was altogether different watching it on the big screen. In our lifetime there come a few special movies that become rare because they are special for a reason. They are generational. This is one of those movies.

[@cindyknudson2715]

In the theater, the first view of the engine room. Sitting in one's little seat and the *_SIZE_* of the moving piston rods! Wholey crap, this ship is enormous, and we are inside it starting on a voyage.

[@imcodsworth5921]

the standards of the time Titanic actually exceeded lifeboat numbers required but its size and passenger ratio being so new there was no standard and there was not enough for everone. Also they were barely filling lifeboats in panic and could have saved much more

[@kittybrucknell]

The kiss on the bow scene was filmed outside and they had waited for days for a perfect sunset. And they had literally minutes to get it, and the best take turned out to be slightly out of focus but JC used it anyway cos it was the best shot! And he talks about getting that shot multiple times, cos it's a pretty crazy story, Kate Winslet was doing Leo's makeup strapped to the bow of the ship haha

[@kitty_34270]

I cry at the end every time when she joins jack again😭 I loved this reaction sm ! Enjoyed watching with you!

[@The_Nightsong]

I was only 6 years old when this movie came out, and I still remember the hype. I was too young to understand it, but as an adult, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Always watch it when I need a good cry 😅😅😅

[@Nightangel8212]

Cal early in the movie to Jack: "What made you think you could put your hands on MY fiance?!" Rose to Jack a couple days later: "Put your hands on me, Jack." Best eff you to Cal and her mom! Also.... sad fact: If the Titanic had hit the iceburg head-on instead of sideswiping it, it would not have sank.

[@pc_buildyb0i935]

It wouldn't have sunk, but hundreds of people would still have died and the most senior officer in charge on the watch (Murdoch) would have been arrested, court marshalled, and stripped of all titles and rank for ramming the most expensive ocean liner into a potentially-avoidable hazard.

[@luckypunfire6263]

Also: when Jack first meets Rose he says: 'Take my hand, I'll help you over,' to get her back onto the ship. When the ship is sinking he says the *exact same line* to put her back where he first met her: behind the guard railing.

[@heav85]

I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out, 14X I saw it when it came out in 3D. I had all the soundtracks and still cry at certain moments every single time I watch it... I already have tears and I just started watching ur review. The music is the main thing that gets me.
