The story of Jack and his friend, Rose, her mother, her fiance and his bodyguard were the only fictional parts of the movie. They are there to help you feel the loss of what happened. The other people you see and hear from around the ship are real, from the owner of the ship to Molly Brown (the unsinkable Molly Brown, as she was called after this incident). The images at the very beginning were real. That really was the titanic under the water. There IS footage of the Titanic leaving, but it wasn't nearly as good a quality as what you saw at the beginning. I watched long "making of" video explaining why they did this and that and where the historical information came from. A LOT of research was done to make this movie to try to make the events leading up to and during the sinking of the Titanic as true to life as possible (excluding the story-line of the fictional characters of Jack and Rose). That includes that opening shot of the ship leaving. There is a real image of the Titanic before she left the dock of the people on the deck waving. They took that image, cleaned it up so they could see faces and clothing, then recreated the look of the people on the deck and where they were standing, then filmed it. There was incredible attention to detail ♥. Edit: Those words you say are unused or least used were not uncommon at the time. The upper class were taught very well. While they aren't really used as much now, they WERE then. Molly Brown, the lady helping him, wasn't born rich. Her husband struck gold and she became rich over night. No matter how fancy she dressed, she still was a very down to earth person...a prospector's wife. It's what made her so lovable :D Edit 2: They actually did play music on deck as the ship was beginning to sink. Most of the scenes you see come from the eyewitness accounts of survivors. As I said, they paid extreme attention to detail with every moment of the voyage and sinking. Staff were actually telling off people for destroying parts of the ship in an attempt to get above deck! The steerage people WERE locked below deck so they could load the first class passengers in the boat first. And they did finally break free. Bribes WERE made by upper class men to get on the boats with the women and children. The part with the crew man firing into the air, then at a passenger and finally at himself actually happened. Edit 3: I like to think that ending scene was her dying and joining him. She was very very old after all. And it's a nice sort of completion. She lived a full life and finally joined him at the end. :)

The last scene was “Titanic Heaven”. Everyone who died on the ship was there and Jack had been waiting for her there by the clock until she died an old lady, in her bed. Also, if you look at the pictures on her desk it showed that she did all of the things that they said that they would do together.

[@bobinpune]

Not sure she died there. She could have been just asleep.

[@markiahnadiaries5051]

Yes. True. She died right after her mission got fulfilled: telling a story of her and Jack and returning the diamond where it belonged. Then she died in a bed just like how she promised to Jack to never “ LET GO “. After more than 100 years of living, she finally reunited with the people on Titanic. The very memory that rooted in her heart, always. The ending is not fictional though. James Cameron gave us the Happy Ending everyone wishes for. Finally, she returned to Jack in the afterworld: not exactly heaven but the spiritual world that was waiting for Rose to finally returned.

[@simonplayon]

At the end I think she was sleeping beacuse of the lyrics of the song "Every night in my dreams I see you.."

[@oliviasturgeon7256]

This is my first video of yours! Here’s a couple fun facts about the movie: • The band really did play until the end and sink with the ship. • The chef you see next to Rose on the back of the sinking ship, was a real person, and had been seen throwing chairs off the boat throughout the night for people to hold on to. He got so drunk leading up to the ship going down, that the alcohol in his blood kept him from freezing and the water and he was rescued. • Unsinkable Molly Brown (Kathy Bates) did really try to make her life boat turn back, even picking up an oar to start rowing herself, but she was unsuccessful and was threatened.

[@katwebbxo]

Also John Jacob Astor, the richest man on the ship, helped his wife on the lifeboat and went back for his dog. He let other dogs out of their crates while looking for his dog so they could still have a chance to live. They show the dogs running loose on the deck in a deleted scene.

[@gabefoltz7762]

Rob Fraser 😂

[@JJdaPK]

James Cameron said he left it up for interpretation.

[@robiking011]

The ending is left open for interpretation. I personally think old Rose is just dreaming. There's some clues through the movie. First of all old Rose seems to be a healthy energetic centenarian. She doesn't seem sick or near death. When we first see her at the beginning of the movie she's doing some pottery meaning that she's active. Also the first lyrics of the song ''My Heart Will Go On'' say ''Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you''. I don't think these lyrics are an accident. I think they're a clue or a give away. Also after old Rose drops the necklace into she ocean she gives a face of relief. The necklance was her last painful reminder of the Titanic and so she comes back to the ocean to drop it in the water and finally put the Titanic behind her. At the end of the movie she dreams with Jack because she spend a whole day telling her story on the Titanic. All her memories and emotions came back. And so she has this dream with Jack on the Titanic because even though she was put the Titanic behind her Jack and his memory still lives within her and she dreams with him because a part of her still loves him.

[@WoodlandAsh]

I tilt to the opposite. She has fulfilled all the tasks and activities Jack charged her with during her life (depicted by her photographs & earlier dialogue) and so the telling of her story, their history, closes the circle. Here, above the titanic, the nexus where her soulmate departed, she can finally be with him once more. And so we see her ‘dying and old lady, warm, asleep in her bed’ and her soul reuniting.

[@randallshaw9609]

Billy Zane did such a magnificent job being a colossal prick. Honestly: he in large part makes the movie. Without his character/performance, Jack's and Rose's story would be diminished.

@@sarahxo2317 I remember back when it came out and a lot of people (including me) started to hate it because it was everywhere to the point of being honestly obnoxious. It stayed in theaters for months on end, the theme song got constant airplay on the radio and MTV, and its fans talked non-stop about it. Back then we weren't used to this level of saturation. It wouldn't even register these days, where you have a lot of content on demand and can avoid whatever you don't want to see. Back then, you were stuck with it regardless of whether you liked it or not.

[@IsThisThePrizeIveWaitedFor]

I was in college when it came out and watched it 5x in the theater. It was highly regarded at the time. It wasn’t until later than ppl started hating it cuz some ppl get something out of hating popular things (and Titanic was the ultimate in popular things- breaking box office records and staying on top for many many years, only to be supplanted by Cameron’s Avatar). Glad to see that good entertainment will be recognized as such past the initial hype/hate phase.

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

I saw this on release day, junior year of high school, with another guy and 2 girls who were friends. It was weird that everybody was shocked that Jack died, because all 4 of us picked up on it at the very beginning (I can't remember exact wording) but when the grandchildren have no idea who Jack was and that she never even told her love story of him pretty directly tells you that he doesn't survive. If he did survive, they'd have known him. I mean, she has this love story, then just gets married to some other guy and it never even gets brought up? Made no sense that everybody was always surprised that he dies. I didn't realize until later that almost nobody put that 2 and 2 together at the beginning. But all 4 of us thought that the love story was super cheesy and were kind of laughing through plenty of parts because of how cheesy it got. The action and the effects and the sinking were all top notch, but the love story that surrounds it is pretty bad.

[@Gwenny_Black]

When Titanic came out, I was 12 years old. Because the big sister of my best friend wanted to see this movie and she didn't want to go alone, her sister (my best friend) went with her. And because I was supposed to sleep over at their house this night, I went with them. I wasn't interested in this movie at all so my expectations were pretty small. I didn't even care at this point. LET ME TELL YOU - I couldn't sleep that night. I cried my eyes out the whole night. I couldn't get over the fact that so many people lost their lives in this tragic way and many people of them were poor and good people and were treated so badly. It ate me up. Alongside with this music, it broke my heart. The music still haunts me today and I get teary immediately.

@@valentinafangirling A lot of people say that the movie is an inaccurate portrayal. However, any inaccuracies are because of new information that has came out since the movie. It was very accurate to the information at the time. There were things that were left out of the movie that add to the accuracy. Those are in the deleted scenes. Not everything was depicted. In fact, when the real Titanic left the dock, another one of the docked ships, SS New York, started drifting toward Titanic's stern (rear end) from the suction generated from Titanic's propellers. SS New York was more than half as long as Titanic and it was a near collision. Titanic passengers could hear the steel cables snapping from the SS New York as it got closer. Captain Smith had the engines stopped and reversed one of the propellers. Meanwhile, a nearby tugboat dragged the SS New York away. Captain Smith was able to outmaneuver the Titanic to avoid collision. Had Titanic collided, it could have delayed the maiden voyage indefinitely. Cameron declined to show this because it would take out the grandeur of the departure.

That scene when Hockley flips the table was unscripted, and Rose's "we had an accident" was improv. And the background when they makeout at the front of the ship was a real sunset, which is great mostly because it looks CGI! "On the bed, I mean the couch" was a fumble by Leo and they kept it in. Kate Winslet actually ended with pneumonia because the water they filmed in was so cold. I really loved this movie when I was growing up hahaha. Poor Jack. This was fun, thanks for posting!

[@yassi9734]

Apparently the guy at the back of the ship, with Rose and Jack, was a real person. He was a baker on the Titanic. He survived the incident and he credited his survival to drinking so much whiskey that his body temp didn’t go down. He laid in the water for about 3 hours before he was saved.

ashlyn based of the theory of the sinking... No survivor account describes what Cameron’s film depicts. Very very few mention seeing the propellers. All those still on board after all the lifeboats had left and survived described the ship’s last moments as a sudden wave washing across the deck and the ship taking a sharp swing before sinking quickly within 5 mins. Does that sound like the stern rising to an impossible 90° angle? Titanic broke into three sections. The bow section and the wreckage of the stern are about ¾ of the ship. There is another ¼ of the ship’s structure that is a mountain of twisted, mangled debris that is completely ignored by everyone... but it’s still a quarter of the entire ship.

The scale is 100%, but some sections were removed and acted when you can't see the ship in full view. That's where you get the 90%. Only the starboard side on the black hull was in full detail.

Hi there, Brandon! Please allow me to nerd out over here as an historian of the RMS Titanic and the White Star Line, the company that owned the vessel, with some fun facts I feel like will further enhance the movie for you, given your lack of context for a lot of this: - Titanic was never actually advertised as unsinkable. Its transverse watertight bulkhead design was described in 'The Shipbuilder,' a trade publication, as "rendering the ship virtually unsinkable," but the White Star Line itself never used that phrasing to describe Titanic. That's an example of memory conflating the quote from the trade publication with advertisement after the fact to make the sinking seem more hubristic. - The film goes out of its way to make J. Bruce Ismay (Jonathan Hyde), the managing director of the White Star Line, into a mustache-twirling villain throughout, mostly because that's the popular perception of Ismay. Scrutiny of survivor accounts actually reveal Ismay was quite active in helping to get people into the lifeboats - and only boarded one himself when he could see no women or children around to board the boat. Much of the vitriol towards Ismay stemmed from the newspapers of William Randolph Hearst, who knew Ismay before hand and immensely disliked him, and so directed his papers to tar and feather Ismay as a coward. He was traumatized by the sinking, and retired within a year. Until his death in 1937, he only spoke of Titanic once after the official investigations concluded - when his grandson, not knowing any better, asked at a family dinner if he had ever been shipwrecked. "Yes," he replied, "I was once on a ship some people thought was unsinkable." - There is a *lot* of contention over whether or not a ship's officer committed suicide. Some survivors claim that one did, some survivors dispute the assertion. There is, however, very little evidence that First Officer Murdoch (Ewan Stewart) was the one who did so. The more likely candidate for an officer committing suicide is Sixth Officer James Moody, the youngest of Titanic's deck officers, and a sailor who had trained aboard a Royal Navy training vessel, unlike his civilian colleagues. This theory is flimsy, but based on survivors who claim there was a suicide saying the officer performed a military salute before shooting himself. Cameron did, eventually, apologize to Murdoch's family for showing him as committing suicide in this film, and 20th Century Fox gave a cash award to the high school in his hometown in Scotland to support their William McMaster Murdoch Award, a cash prize upon graduation for students fulfilling certain criteria. - The priest seen giving absolution on the sinking ship, quoting the Book of Revelations - "...and there was no more sea..." - is Father Thomas Byles, an English Catholic Priest travelling in Second Class. He was last seen doing exactly what he's seen doing in the film: leading those about to die in prayer and absolving them of their sins. There is currently a campaign ongoing, led by the current priest of his parish, to get the Vatican to consider Father Byles for sainthood. - The elderly couple seen cuddling in their bed as their cabin floods are Isidor and Ida Straus. Mrs. Straus was preparing to board a lifeboat, and when he asked if he could join his wife, Mr. Straus was refused a place in a boat. She stepped away from the boat, and he tried to convince her to get into it. "We have been married these forty years," she responded. "Where you go, I go." They were last seen sitting in a pair of deck chairs, holding hands, as the ship sank from beneath them. Mr. Strauss' body was recovered, and is buried in New York City. Their children donated a massive residence hall, Straus Hall, to Harvard University in their honor. They are also memorialized by a park in New York City, and by a plaque at the flagship store of Macy's Department Store - which Mr. Straus was the owner of. - Frederick Fleet, the lookout who spotted the iceberg and calls the bridge to give the infamous warning "Iceberg Right Ahead, Sir!" never recovered from that night. He always believed he was responsible for Titanic hitting the berg and sinking. Following the death of his wife, Fleet committed suicide in January, 1965 - leaving a suicide note which expressly mentioned his lingering grief over the sinking of Titanic. - A little girl can be seen being told by her father "be a good girl and hold mummy's hand" while being put into a lifeboat. This little girl is meant to be Eva Hart, one of the last survivors of the Titanic - who was seven when the ship sank. The dialogue are the last words her father, Benjamin Hart, ever said to her. Hart died in 1996, while the film was in production. - Contrary to what Rose claims ("we all called her Molly") Margaret Tobin Brown (Kathy Bates) was never known as Molly in life. She was "Maggie" to her close friends. The nickname "Molly" was applied to her posthumously thanks to the 1960 Broadway Musical "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," loosely based on her life; and adapted into a 1964 film starring Debbie Reynolds. She was also an incredibly outspoken feminist, who ran twice for the U.S. Senate before women could even vote. - Something the film leaves out almost entirely (but you'd have to be incredibly eagle-eyed to spot it) is the fact there was a ship not even ten miles from Titanic, sitting there at anchor to wait for dawn to try and traverse the ice. The S.S. Californian had tried to contact Titanic earlier in the day to warn them of the ice ahead, and the transmission came through so loud and so abruptly on the wireless telegraph while senior operator Jack Phillips was trying to send a message that he snapped "Shut up, Shut up, I am working Cape Race!" at them over the apparatus. The officers on watch on the bridge of Californian watched Titanic steam up past them - all lights blazing - and then suddenly go dark. They thought the ship had just put out its lights, but the ship had actually turned to try and avoid the iceberg, and had gone from parallel to them to perpendicular. They could see Californian from Titanic - and that's why Titanic was firing those signal rockets: Californian's one wireless operator had gone to bed, and so the ship didn't hear the distress call. Captain Lord of the Californian refused to listen to his officers about the ship nearby "firing rockets," and went back to bed. Cameron narratively leaves this out of the film - but sharp eyed viewers can spot the Californian's mast lights on the horizon in some wide shots. - Captain Smith (Bernard Hill) was not catatonic during the sinking. Survivor accounts tell us he was incredibly active - pacing the boat deck back and forth, supervising the loading of the lifeboats, going to check on the distress signals, helping women into the boats. Some survivors on the overturned Collapsible B, a lifeboat that had turned upside down and had nearly fifty people clinging to it through the night, even claimed Captain Smith had swum up to the boat after the sinking to hand off a baby he had recovered from the water (that later froze to death) before proclaiming "Good luck, boys. I'm off to follow the ship." - The body of Wallace Hartley (Jonathan Evans-Jones) the leader of Titanic's band, was recovered after the sinking and returned to England for burial. More people attended his service than attended the funeral and burial of Prime Minister Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the only Prime Minister of Great Britain to die at Number 10 Downing Street, only four years before the sinking. The violin Hartley played aboard the Titanic, recovered from a violin case strapped to his chest, sold at auction in 2013 for $1.7 Million.

I like how even when I hate her character in stuff, I still love her performance. And she has strong principles irl too, which I respect a lot. Just seems like a generally good person.

[@nataliedepriest9113]

Kathy Bates played Molly Brown, a real life survivor of the Titanic. You probably know her from Misery, and I am pretty sure she won the Oscar for that role. But she has been in a ton of other stuff.

[@gregall2178]

I thought she was great in Fried Green Tomatoes....especially when she has more insurance ;-) ...or was it 'better'? :-D

I've watched this movie literally thousands of times. Even went to see it in the theater twice and it still makes me sob uncontrollably every single time... But then the infamous "propeller guy" scene rears it's ugly head and I start laughing hysterically and it makes me feel like the devils asshole.

[@Ivy94F]

Don’t worry. As emotional as that scene is, it always got a laugh out of me. My little brother lost his shit in the theatre at that part and it just infected me. Lol.

You’re not the only one. There are so many anecdotes about audiences sobbing but then cracking up when the guy hit the propeller.

Kathy Bates is one of my favorite actresses, check out 'Misery" where I first remember seeing her shine.

The underwater scenes at the beginning were actually filmed at the true wreckage site of the Titanic! The lengths James Cameron went to for this film are incredible. Another amazing piece of trivia is that the collective runtime of all the scenes in this movie set in 1912 (aka on the Titanic itself) is 2 hours and 40 minutes, which is how long the Titanic itself took to sink from collision with the iceberg to disappearing beneath the ocean. Such attention to detail and true respect for the legacy of the ship. Also important to know that the musicians who played the entire time the ship sank were real people - and they really did that.

[@0725038]

Little fact, all the drawings are from James Cameron. It's his own hand that we see when he's drawing rose, not Leo.

[@Cassxowary]

Momo which is an underrated thing no one talks about

[@tfpp1]

Okay, seriously - you've never seen Titanic?! LOL Yes, that is Kathy Bates. Fun Fact: James Cameron is obsessive about his level of meticulous detail and recreation of historicity with regards to this subject matter. Everything that happens, and the way that it happened, is true. The ship nearly sinks in "about" real time as possible, the musicians really did stay back to play...ultimately to their demise. There really was a well-known (at the time) elderly couple who died in their bed, The ship flooded the way it did, and sank the way it is portrayed. And, if memory serves, in the biggest cosmic coincidence ever, I think there was an actual person on board Titanic named Jack Dawson who ended up drowning.

[@gdo3510]

I specifically saw this in the theatre for Kate Winsletts boobs when I was just a wee teenager. Made my dad sit in the back while me and my buddy sat front row.

[@silverstarlightproductions1292]

Titanic is my favorite movie of all time. In fact, it's so special to me that I only watch it once a year. I always start it on April 14, and I finish it on the 15th, in concurrence with the time frame of the sinking.

[@robn2171]

Interesting fact about this movie: James Cameron was actually just interested in the history of the Titanic sinking, and disguised it as a love movie. Once the ship hits the iceberg the events play out in real time, with major events happening when they actually happened after one another. That's why the run time is so long.

[@chrishood2793]

The sinking was actually an hour longer. Titanic sank in 2hr and 40min. (11:40 PM, Sunday, 4/14/12 - 2:20 AM, Monday, 4/15/12).

[@ameliaxx]

If you take out all of the 1997 ‘present day’ scenes, then the film is exactly 2hr 40m. This means that the scenes in 1912 equal the real life sinking time of the ship. Pretty unique and interesting fact

[@chrishood2793]

@@ameliaxx Now that is a fact. If you notice the clock at the end during the dream/heaven sequence is at 2:20 and it's at night. Fun fact about Titanic's clock, Honour and Glory Crowning Time, it was on all three Olympic-class ships. They were carved individually. The one from the first ship, the Olympic, still exists. The original color was oak. Then the staircase was later painted olive green. Then it was painted white. There are no photos of Titanic's grand staircase and some believe the clock wasn't installed in time. The cherub on the the center railing was modeled after the cherubs outside the Palace of Versailles where Marie Antoinette resided. The artist took a little liberty on the cherubs. Some of the wood features from Olympic survived today.

Fun fact: some of the first shots of the wreckage, is the actual Titanic, James actually dived to the wreck for footage and to get more accuracy, he also made a documentary after he made this movie! He was very interested in the history of the titanic so most of the characters in this movie are based of real people on board of the Titanic the night it sunk!

I met Molly's granddaughter. By the way, Molly Brown was never called Molly until after the movie. Her real name was Margaret and went by Maggie. She traveled to New York to visit her ailing son. She was friends with John Jacob Astor, the richest man on board and in the world at the time. When Astor married Madeleine and she was with child, it was a scandal because she was only 19. Margaret supported him. Margaret held several fundraisers for the survivors because many of them lost everything. Margaret also supported orphans. She almost became the first US senator, but gave up the spot. Margaret was a very assertive woman who fit in very well, not the obnoxious woman portrayed in movies.

When I told her who had directed it & his filmography she was sure I was mistaken. She said there was no way the person who directed The Terminator, Aliens, Terminator 2, & True Lies could have directed this. Cameron is just that good. Whatever he does, he does well.

[@marshallbrendstrup281]

I think Hawkley living just adds to the true to life frustrations that the majority of deaths were the poor, and crew. There's a video of the Titanic sinking in real time you can find on KZbin, very interesting and sad watch. Many of the lifeboats weren't even half capacity.

[@michaelpapadopoulos3756]

There's a cut scene where Ismay (the man who wanted all the boilers lit) walked on the deck of the rescue ship, Carpathia, and has to injure the hard looks from the other survivors, especially women and children, some of who you see having to leave their husbands/fathers behind. They glare at him like "Why did you survive when my husband/father did not?" One officer, Lightoller (the one who had the dispute with Andrews about the number of people on the boats) took the order "women and children first" as "women and children only" and lowered boats half full, also with the belief they would pick people up lower down (some of the crew had gone to open doors lower down to allow the boats to pick people up and they never came back). but once the boats reached the water they just rowed away.

I think I was the only 13 year old girl who needed to see the movie just to see the ship sink. I was so obsessed with Titanic well before this movie came out.

I was so upset and devastated for all the people who died that cold...cold morning in the Atlantic.

[@mena94x3]

Saw this in the theater with my college boyfriend. He gave me a piggyback ride out to my car and gentlemanly took my key to unlock it for me . . . and that’s when the key broke off in the lock. 😂😂 I spent the next 7 years crawling in through the passenger door. I got so used to the move it became quite natural . . . Thinking back, the fact I did that for seven years seems wild!! Literally, it got to the point after a few weeks that I hardly noticed. When I bought a new car, it was really weird getting in through the driver’s door again! Also, the final three years of that car, I had no radio (it was stolen), so I spent long drives quoting entire movies (usually the Princess Bride, but sometimes Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Oklahoma! or Clue). This was before smart phones or iPods, etc.. From time to time I would play some music from my CD-version of a Walkman (sweet tech at the time) and super early-quality portable speakers. 😂 It was so ghetto and so hilarious!

[@koreygeren2677]

I really enjoyed reading this, particularly knowing I'd be a year or two younger than you. Despite the silliness of it, I nearly teared up at the nostalgia. Having just relived this movie through Brandon likely played a part, though. Lost love cuts me deep down in the feels. Which means I have to ask; What happened with you and your college boyfriend?

[@mena94x3]

Cory Garron - Ugh. It’s a tragic tale. We felt like soul mates. Dated for over 2 years, marriage was a kind of spoken, unspoken thing. I suspect his parents, although they liked me, were scared he was too young to be committing, scared he hadn’t experienced enough of the world and we would end up divorced (like they did) and so encouraged him to play the field a bit more. He took their advice to heart before having the balls to talk with me about it at the start of our senior year and started sleeping with an apartment neighbor. I don’t think he ever found out that I knew. Long story how it all played out, but it was a tough loss. Oh well, we learn valuable lessons from good and bad experiences and I wouldn’t trade a moment of my experiences through that relationship.
