SO SAD and BEAUTIFUL 😭 Titanic (1997) REACTION

[@birdseyefr]

The submarine footage is real and the technology is real. James Cameron made the Titanic movie just so the studios would finance his dives to the Titanic wreck. He went there 33 times.

Did Rob Ballard not use a submersible when he discovered the Titanic in 1985? So submersible tech had been around nearly 20 years ahead of the film.

That old couple you see in the bed were based on a real life couple, Ida and Isidor Strauss. They were the owners of Macys. Their story is so beautiful yet tragic. There’s a deleted scene where he is trying to get Ida on the boat but she refuses to live without her husband. In real life, she gave up her spot on the boat to one of their maids and gave her fur coat too. Isidor refused to get on the boats until every last woman and child were safely on a lifeboat. The last time they were seen was by the deck and the last words spoken by his wife were “where you go, I go” if that ain’t true love then I don’t know what is 🥹

@@brooklynbutter5357Something can be incredibly well written without having the most complex dialogue. It can be about how dots connect, how organic it is and if it genuinely feels like it comes from the heart which I’ve found Cameron excels in all those areas in writing. Like how Jack mentions about teaching Rose to horse ride on the beach in Santa Monica and they show a picture of her in the end on horseback on that beach, that’s just really nice details that are heartfelt. Visual direction can add upon dialogue so it gives those words more importance. That gives writing more quality.

The titanic sank on a moonless night. Due to needing a certain amount of lighting for the film making process there were a lot of artistic liberties that has to be taken so that viewers would be able to see everything happen. It’s an incredibly done film showing the tragic end for the ship. I love that it makes each person feel real rather than just a number because every person who lost their lives had a story, loved ones, hopes and dreams.

[@jimmygreer2140]

My favorite story about the Titanic, and I really wish James Cameron had acknowledged this person, is about Violet Jessop. She was employed on the Olympic, the first of the 3 ships they were building, when it crashed into another ship. She then went onto working on the Titanic & survived. Apparently she had even carried a baby onto the lifeboat. But the absolute crazy thing about Violet was that she was working as a nurse during WWI on the other sister ship of the Titanic, the Brittanic, when it was struck by a sea mine and also sunk and survived that one as well!!! There's a lot made about Margaret Brown being the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" but Violet was the real unsinkable one.

@@michaelceraso1977 I believe there's a book about her. She told a story of getting a phone call of a woman asking if she had saved a baby on the Titanic, she said yes. They said it was her, laughed & hung up. The biographer said it sounded like a prank call but she said she had told no one until him about the baby. She was quite attractive as well. But I do wish Cameron had given her character a mention. He did a pretty excellent job with the rest of the crew. And he did try his best to make it very accurate. The door holding both of them is a bit questionable. But even during the directors cut he had reached out to Neil DeGrasse Tyson to make the night sky match that of the night it sank because NDT teased him about that. I mean we did learn where & when it sank so it would be possible to match it up.

While not fully represented in the film by name, she was the inspiration for the Lucy Violet Snape character, the young stewardess whom Mr. Andrews stops while the ship is sinking and asks her to put on her life jacket and be 'a good example for the other passengers'. But I did read Violet's book and she did indeed have a fascinating life, in fact Titanic is only 30 pages out of the 200 page book.

Fun fact: James Cameron wife is actually the person who plays rose granddaughter - James Cameron has been to titanic 33 times overall, he loved the history - James Cameron did the actual drawing that looks like jack was doing - the first scene Kate and Leo did was the naked scene so when he said “on the bed, the couch” it wasn’t in the script but they kept it in - most of characters rose was around the did exist - the old couple owned Macy’s and she refused to leave him they died together - the violin did play till the end - rose does die at the end, if you see time it’s time titanic sank and everyone in room was dead - when she said il never let go she means her promise to jack which she kept she did everything they said they will do - James Cameron said jack had to die as the full meaning of “making each day count “ would have been for nothing -rose spitting in cals face wasn’t meant to happen, it was meant to be a hairpin but made sense as he taught her - the water was so cold on set they ended up poorly - the scene below deck James just asked them to improvise and have fun same as spitting scene - a lot of people don’t realise she chooses his surname in the end and did everything her and jack said they was gunna do

She finally got to tell her story about Jack, those pictures leading to her passing showed a promise fulfilled, and her journey beyond is a beautiful welcome to the one she loved most.

Some interesting things about the sinking. It took 2 hours 40 minutes to sink. Andrews was right that it would normally take about an hour, but certain factors helped keep the ship afloat for longer (one primary thing was the movement of hundreds of tonnes of coal from starboard to port earlier in the trip due to a fire). There was in fact very little suction when the ship went down and survivors spoke of being able to 'step off' the ship as it went down and not get sucked down. Average survival time in the water was around 15 minutes.

[@connorredshaw7994]

Thomas Andrews really underestimated how well he built this ship the fact that the titanic lasted almost double the time he thought it would is incredible also the sacrifices of those brave souls in the engine and boiler rooms may never be forgotten.

[@jgunner94]

Watched it again recently and it’s aged really well in all those aspects you listed. Really good attention to detail and there’s layers to the characters, there’s interesting symbolism I think in Jack’s design possibly too him being an angel sent to save Rose. James Cameron has had those themes in Terminator 1 and 2 with Sarah and John Connor’s guardians so I wonder if there’s some evolution there. This must have been one of the first films or maybe the first to achieve that modern crispness films have now. In the mid to early 90’s and everything before, you could see that more older retro look to films in the quality, visual quality near peaked with this film.

I just read a book about the stories of 1st class passengers. Even as the ship was tilting and visibly sinking people continued to think that they didn’t need to get on the lifeboats and they would be towed into port by another ship (after all the ship was unsinkable!). The actual iceberg strike was only a minor vibration for most (some didn’t even feel it) so they assumed the damage wasn’t bad. People were playing with the ice on deck. A lot of the crew told them they were loading lifeboats just as a precaution. The lifeboats were kind of scary (imagine being hoisted by rope like 8-10 stories down) so only a few initially got on. Once it became clear the ship was going down it was too late- no lifeboats left (some were ordered to return but did not). They could have saved so many more people- at every turn it was handled poorly.

Titanic redefined what a blockbuster movie was and solidified James Cameron as one of the top storytellers of our time. Before this he had done 2 Terminator movies, Aliens, The Abyss, and True Lies. The biggest box office movie of all time before Titanic in 1997 was 20 years earlier in 1977's Star Wars. Titanic was the first movie to break a billion dollars at the box office. The movie absolutely dominated at the awards shows for the year. He made so much money from Titanic that he didn't really ever need to work again, and took a decade to run and fund expeditions to actually visit and study the wreck of the Titanic. When he finally came back, technology had finally caught up to his vision and he was able to do performance capture and cross the uncanny valley for the first time in history to beat the previous box office record he set. In comparison, for Marvel to beat out Titanic with Avengers: End Game, they had to have a story setup with 21 prior movies.

I saw this with my sister in theater back in '97. I was 12, my sister was 10.

And boy, oh boy! The theater was full and everyone, I mean everyone was crying by the end of it. I remember arriving home hiccuping and still crying even 30 min after we exited the theater. It wasn't about Jack and Rose, that's not what marked and made me love the movie. It was about hubris, futility, inevitability, courage, sense of duty and yes, even stupidity and ignorance in the face of such an impossible situation. There are so many things to love in this movie although by all rights there are so many things to hate as well (they did such an injustice to William McMaster Murdoch although Ewan Stewart acted his socks off). And no matter how much technology has improved, no mater how many movies I saw since, I still consider this experience the best one I ever had... And so many years down the line I remain fascinated with Titanic and continue to view the movie with the same awe and trepidation as I did then...

Survivor's guilt does that to people-it is a horrible thing. 3) That means that 175 died from freak accidents. Because these were notable people, it is easy data to track. Has any other group of people suddenly died from freak accidents? Yes. One of those groups were people that either were in Dealey plaza on November 22, 1963, or were connected to people arrested on that date in Dallas Texas. And that's just one group of people. So, did these freak accidents only happen to one group of people or at a higher rate than any other group of people? No.

Some clarification: In the early 1900s safety measures were way different. It was believed the north atlantic routes were busy by traffic. So in case of emergency lifeboats were supposed to transfer people from one ship to another, that came to rescue. Lifeboats were not meant to harbor all passengers at the same time. So there was a list of required lifeboat capacity by ship size. But titanic already was 4 times bigger than the biggest ship size on that list, which was long not updated. So in a sense titanic had even more than enough lifeboats than required. Modern measures to accomandate enough space for every passenger in lifeboats is just because of titanic in the first place. Safety measures were intensively reformed after that incident. The captain knew of the dangers of ice in april. So he extended the route further south. There was no need to slow down. And even at full speed titanic was comparatively slow to their competitors. To the straight head on collision theory: yeah, titanic might have been afloat on a head on collision. But it would have meant certain death of crew located in the bow. And big damage and revenue loss. It was simply no sensible option, just by the fact no one could have ever imagined the sinking after trying to avoid a collision. Even you - i guess you would try every time to avoid a car crash. The Titanic disaster is very complex. And sure enough it is a chain of unlucky circumstances. No one really did anything wrong. All they did was to their best knowledge. The rules and routines simply had to be rewritten. To our standpoint the actions then seem very bold. But to them it was all they had learned to do. The boats were empty simply because the passengers didnt want to leave the warm, lit, safe ship. And if they had waited to fill the boats, they couldnt even had lowered all of them. Even as they did in the night the last boat hadnt been properly deployed. It is all a matter of perspective. Greetz

[@Alte.Kameraden]

Thanks, a lot of people have major misconceptions about Titanic. There has been a lot of Classist, and anti Capitalist Propaganda weaved into the Narrative. Tropes which are sadly deeply ingrained into people's psyche that they don't even realize it. I mean how many times do you hear "It isn't personal it's just business." A trope so deeply ingrained no one questions it despite being Hollywood's longest running trope. Titanic it started generations ago. Some of it was part of a massive smear campaign against the White Star Line and Bruce Ismay personally. Which perpetuated into myths.

[@IndependentConversations]

I respectfully disagree. They're was a golden rule to have lifeboats for the number of passengers. However, titanic makers purposely only filled the boat with the bare minimum amount because they didn't want the image clattered with lifeboats. Also, the other fatal flaw of titanic was that the crew was not trained on evacuation for this ship. How else do you explain why some boats had 12 people when they were built literally for 70 men weight each.

[@saschatrumper]

@IndependentConversations they fulfilled legal regulations. They didn't need to take more boats, so they chose not to. It's that simple. Despite they actually did take more boats than required. It's a matter of what is "enough". Certainly not enough to evacuate every person at the same time. But that wasn't the interpretation back then. Why the boats weren't full I fully described in my last paragraph.

[@Alte.Kameraden]

@@IndependentConversations You basically just repeating Titanic Myths as "fact." Just about every Titanic Historian would vomit in your general direction. I bet you believe that they locked passengers deep inside the ship as well. *Winks* That being said the Titanic actually had more than the bare minimum Life Boats.... so... you're quite wrong there. Secondly, Life boats were considered a last resort historically. There are a number of horrific disasters involving life boats in which boats were mashed up against coastal reefs with large loses of life, most notably White Star Line's first major maritime disaster the sinking of the Atlantic which saw a percentage lose of life even higher than Titanic, she ran a ground in rough seas and all attempts to send out life boats ended up in the deaths of all those on board the boats. Policies at the time dictated Life Boats were for ferrying passengers from one ship to another, or to shore, not to be a safe haven for all those on board. There were few ships at the time that had enough life boats for all on board. Even today, most cruise ships do not, substituting most of their life boats for inflatables, which take far longer to deploy than loading on boats. In most cases even today the 'ship' itself is the life boat and avoiding disasters all together, being the most reliable means of safety. About the crew, most of the crew were experienced White Star Line personnel, many of which had already served on the Olympic, and other larger White Star ships like the Big Four, which were very similar in design ships. So I'd say that argument doesn't hold that much water. For the boats not being loaded to capacity, it has more to do with passengers not wanting to get on the boats. There are plenty of accounts from crew early on that they couldn't get people to willingly go onto the life boats. For the sake of time many boats were launched not to capacity so they could at least get those who were willing off the ship, not until it became more obvious the ship was sinking did passengers start to realize the danger. This is why the boats early on were so lightly filled but later on were quite full. Even then the crew didn't get all the boats off the ship. The two collapsible didn't make it for example, with one of them being overturned and the other floating right off the deck as the ship sank out from underneath it. This also implies even if the Titanic had more life boats it wouldn't of made a difference at all. Definitely for how much Titanic was listing. Historically sinking's like Titanic saw large loses of life. Titanic isn't even the highest death toll. Even after the Titanic. It has little to do with LIFE BOATS, or TRAINING more so than circumstance. Though there have been some embarrassing crews in the past, sometimes fleeing abandoning passengers in a very unprofessional manner, but not Titanic... I know a shock. A lot of them even battles in the depths of the hull with the pumps trying to slow down the sinking as much as possible. The performance was excellent in short when compared to many historical examples.

[@PowerDiva]

Hitting the iceberg head on might have kept it from sinking.... key word might. That is a theory and it may or may not have worked. But the automatic instinct then and probably in most cases now.... would be to avoid it all together if you can. That is what they were trained to do so that is what they tried to do. Unfortunately, they were not able to.

[@diisomoto]

There's great significance in Rose having the Heart of the Ocean at the end and then deciding to throw it into the water. Remember, when Rose reaches America, she's without the financial support of her fiance, without her mother, and without Jack. She had the necklace all those years but never needed to exploit it for its riches. In seeing the photos at the end, she managed to survive and live a fulfilled life the way she wanted to. Therefore, in throwing it into the ocean, she's honoring the memory of Jack because she realizes that the greatest gift she possesses is the life that Jack helped her achieve and it was never about the necklace or the wealth.

[@demetriusreynolds8178]

Although that may have been the point, couldn’t she have given it to her kids or granddaughter because her being on the ship in the ocean above titanic was a coincidence that she didn’t plan for so that ruins that scene for me. Plus I found rose and her mom to be just as much as a villain as the iceberg. Everyone hates cal but he did watch his fiancé spend 2 days with a guy she just met partying, drawing her naked and sleeping with him. Cal was humiliated, embarrassed and hurt Rose didn’t love cal and only agreed to marriage to save her mom but Cal didn’t know any of this so that makes him a victim regardless of his personality

[@JoshuaBloom01]

​@@demetriusreynolds8178The Heart of the Ocean would have been way too famous for Rose or her family to ever sell, so keeping it served no purpose. Throwing it away was symbolic of letting go of the pain and trauma of the sinking. As for Call being innocent, to an extent I can see your point, but he was an awful human being and a coward, his death by his own hand proved that. He also was very much a product of the times; a businessman with a trophy wife. I agree that Rose's mother was evil too, she set her daughter up just so she could keep living a certain lifestyle, but Rose was just a pawn in her mothers game. Through the movie, we learn that Rose was only going along with it because age felt that she had no other option. It wasn't until she met Jack with his carefree, do anything he wants way of life that so intoxicated Rose because that's all she wanted in her life.

Your waterworks reminded me of that.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

A few fact checks: Titanic wasn't going full speed when she struck the berg, she was going at her regular cruising speed of 21 knots (her max speed was 23 knots). The conversation between Captain Smith and Ismay about making headlines, while loosely based on a conversation overhead by a passenger, was largely fabricated to heighten the drama. Titanic wasn't the fastest ship at the time, nor was she designed to be. The Lusitania, built 5 years earlier, had a maximum speed of 25 knots, and White Star had no intention of beating that record, so instead they focused on size and luxury for Titanic. There were no speed records that Titanic could break. The reason many boats weren't loaded was because, for a while, many passengers weren't convinced that the problem was serious and felt safer on the ship than on small boats out in the cold, and so the officers had difficulty convincing passengers to enter the boats, particularly during the earlier stages of the sinking. Time was of the essence and they had to go ahead with lowering the boats. The scene with the officer who shoots two passengers and then himself is also based on unconfirmed rumors. That officer (William Murdoch) was responsible for loading about 300 of the 705 survivors onto boats, so although the film depicts him in a relatively negative light, he was arguably the biggest hero of the night (the family of the officer was also very upset with the depiction and director James Cameron made a public apology for the portrayal). The suction of the ship apparently wasn't very strong, according to the Chief Baker who rode the back of the ship as it went down "like an elevator". According to him, he didn't even get his hair wet (he was also incredibly drunk, so 🤷‍♂)

[@sirwalterii_2nd]

Actually the 2nd officer Charles Lightoller (the highest ranking officer to survive) was sucked down but the only reason he lived. is because a boiler exploded underwater which forced him to the surface. But to be fair the 3rd officer has stated he doesn't know how boilers would have exploded because he does not think there would have been any steam generated by then. But he thinks the gunshors that were heard we not gunshots but boilers exploding. But this is Lightollers account. It appears the suction was strong when the entire ship was submerged and Lightoller was trying to swim away from Tiranic when he was sucked down. EDIT: Lightoller is the officer who brandished a an empty revolver when he order a bunch of male passengers and some crewmen out of a lifeboat.

[@sirwalterii_2nd]

I forgot to mention James Cameron did a special 25 years after Titanic was in theaters and did new analysis about the sinking. The scene where the back of the ship is in the air and falls back down crushing people now seems inaccurate. In their tests you had the stern went full verticle and sink without crashing back down into the water and they have tests where the stern did come out of the water and crash back down but the stern was not completely vertical. They never had the stern going full verticle and crashing back down during an entire sequence like the movie depicted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5u7eXl7rpKcmMU

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

@@sirwalterii_2nd Yes, Lightoller was pushed against the grating to a ventilation shaft as water started pouring down it, and a moment later was pushed away by a rush of air from the same shaft. That's a very unique instance, though, and is unrelated to the suction of the stern section as it lowered into the water.

[@sirwalterii_2nd]

@@TechnologicallyTechnical from what I've heard he was on board helping passengers. He was sucked down. These are his words. And as I said he was in the water, trying to swim away and couldn't. If I remember correctly he jumped into the water because he thought he had better odds at survival than trying to deal with other people.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

@@sirwalterii_2nd I know exactly where he was. He was on the roof of the navigating bridge, which was directly in front of a large ventilation trunk, which is what he got stuck against as water began pouring down it. This is toward the front of the ship.

[@GoddessOfWhatnot]

You’re so right about how dark it must have been. Apparently there was no moon light that night, and the one life boat that came back didn’t actually have flashlights/torches like the movie depicts… they had to search for survivors mainly by sound 🤯

[@Chris-vk2zw]

Not just that, passengers couldn't see from front to rear because of the minute deck illumination. That may explain why some boat stations were crowded with passengers while others were sparse. Then if you looked over the side, you couldn't see the water level. To the passengers, it probably looked like everything was at even keel until the last 10 minutes.

[@RCassinello]

Even before the lights went out, Titanic would have been much darker. Cameron used artistic liberty to add lighting to parts of the ship that was never there, and also had a policy of "all windows lit" as if at 11:40pm every single light on the ship was switched on and stayed on. In reality, only about 30% of the ship would have been lit at a fairly bright yellow colour, and as steam dwindled during the sinking, the lights that still worked gradually faded to a dull red before going off completely.

[@Shawn_Dark_Heart]

Titanic THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!!! I love watching it! Jack and Rose, even though they are not real people and never were, feel so realistic and the effects and clothing and decoration they used in this movie makes it feel like I’m actually on the titanic with them! The flooding and sinking scenes were AMAZING and for a 1997 movie, I thought I was watching something from the future. This movie is a must-watch, and there is no wonder why it won so many awards, because it is most definitely the best movie this world has ever known.

In one of the scenes, in the background, you see an Asian couple trying to quickly translate a sign written in English. And you're the first person to point out how dark it would've been as all this happened. I never thought of the darkness.

So, yes, he was being a coward. Also the other life boats were floating nearby. That's just standard procedure in order to be rescued as easily as possible.

The Titan's dimensions, top speed, the number of lifeboats are almost identical to the Titanic, Futility even predicts exactly where the iceberg would hit.

[@gokulgopan4397]

A few fact checks: The 3rd class weren't locked as portrayed. The number of lifeboats were based on the ship's size. Board of Trade regulations weren't updated. Legally Titanic had 4 additional. The ship wasn't on her top speed. She was on her regular cruising speed that night. Ismay-Smith conversation was overly dramatic and based of one of the myths spread. The convo did happen but context was different. He was excited about Titanic's perfomance and wanted to have a speed test to see if Titanic could outperform Olympic. Titanic was already doing better than Olympic and he found from the perfomance reports that Titanic would reach New York earlier than planned. The Olympic class of ships was Ismay's idea. He knew they can't compete on speed, so he wanted luxury. So it's a contradiction. Also Ismay didn't sneak into a lifeboat. He helped in evacuation and when no one where left, Murdoch let him in. Murdoch let men in if no women or children were left. Murdoch's portrayal was wrong. Made him in a negative light. He was an actual hero that night. Helped load a lot of people. James Cameron later apologized to his family. Sinking was accurate based on the theories at the time. But new studies proved Titanic sank a bit differently. She wasn't that much slanted and the breakup was gradual, not violent. And of course the lighting. It was really dark. It's more of a creative decision.

[@The1Music2MyEars]

There were a few locked gates, but not all and only because they were never unlocked once the emergency started. Even so, having a few locked gates forced third class passengers to even less exits and that chokehold would only delay them arriving on deck, by which most of the lifeboats were sadly gone.

[@C_Gomez18]

Great Reaction! No lie, when you read all the stories from the lifeboats, there was indeed some passengers criticize for refusing to return to the site to pick up any survivors minutes after Titanic went under. Your actually right in a way about Titanic being cursed. A book was released 14 years before Titanic disaster mirroring some events. Days to hours before Titanic voyage several people express uneasiness like something wasn't right about it. Moments after her begining voyage and Titanic had a near collision with a steamer named New York. Years later, Titanic's older sister Olympic shook in the Atlantic, it was reported a underwater earthquake occurred. Olympic was several miles south from Titanic wreck.

[@DylRicho]

37:30 Right! There was no moon that night (it was only visible in the southern hemisphere), so the only light they had was from Titanic itself and any flashlights that people had. James Cameron decided to make the movie a little brighter so that people could see what was happening rather than have it historically accurate in terms of lighting conditions.

[@tonyhaspra9416]

I really enjoyed watching this reaction. Actually some historical facts: Titanic was sinking 2 hours 40 minutes, and you mentioned the light during that night. Actually, there was no moonlight that night. There was just darkness and sky full of stars but no moonlight, so it was much darker than it's showed in the movie.

[@WaffleCzar]

The water temperature that night was -2C or 28F (seawater has a lower freezing point). These temperatures will cause cold shock the instant someone jumps in and incapacitation. If someone doesn’t die from hyperventilating, then in 1-2 minutes extremities go numb and in 10 minutes your own muscles will not respond to your will as body fluids congeal. Experienced swimmers will drown because you cannot move arms or legs enough to keep your head afloat. Life jackets at the time did not keep the heads of unconscious persons above water so losing consciousness almost always meant death. If one remained conscious, 20 minutes in hypothermia sets in and swimmers will be very confused and disoriented. 10-30 minutes after this, you slip unconscious.

[@jezzluck]

James Cameron, the director of the movie, started a professional expedition to the Titanic in order to capture footage of the wreck and learn about it's histories.

There’s a tik tok of Rose’s “husband” waiting to meet her in the after life & then he sees that last scene and he’s just so shocked 😂😂 But also like what’s up the the servants still having to be servants in the afterlife? Lmao. My buddy and I were joking around asking why they still gotta work after death or were they just chilling in the afterlife but had to clock back in as soon as Rose died to open the door for her 😂😂😂

[@rakdar1714]

Maybe he was a widower. I hope so, at least

37:03 Me and my dad laughed because we didn't know how bad it actually was until now I CANNOT stop crying at it!

Titanic sank on a moonless night, so you're correct, it would've been incredibly dark. The audience has to be able to see what's happening though, so that's why everything is nicely lit.

The last living survivor was 6 weeks old when the titanic sank. She was a baby. She heard about the loss of her father from her mother later on in life. Millvena Dean. She died 5 or 6 years ago but Covid changed my perception of time so it might have been 10 years ago now. Eva Hart is another survivor who was 7 while on titanic who also lost her father. Her story is interesting- her mother had a bad omen and stayed up all night and slept during the day so when the iceberg hit, Edith Hart was already awake for the night and even though they didn’t travel first class, they got to a lifeboat pretty quickly. But her father couldn’t go. Eva Hart gave a lot of interviews in the 90s and her mom possibly saved her life and well as her own. And you’re right about just going head in to the iceberg. Physics experiments show the ship would have stayed afloat until help came. Anyone in the bow area would have been killed but it would have been a couple hundred instead of 1522 dead. That’s why the modern explorer said “everything they know is wrong”.

I was just a youngster from southern California vacationing with my family in Rosarito Mexico. Our place was on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Less than 2 miles away was this big ship on shore. And all night long it was fully lit up, like a stadium event. We almost took a walk down there to see what the hell was going on. After seeing the movie I found out that was where they filmed it. Bummer we missed out. I had the biggest crush on Kate Winslet in that red dress, haha. In regards to the Titan tragedy, it was pure negligence on the CEO's part, Stockton Rush. It was a different design in regards to materials. It was primarily made of carbon fiber instead of steel. The vessel weakened every visit down there and it finally gave out. He didn't go through the proper regulatory channels to get certified because it was expensive and he was losing money on the project. Now 5 people are dead. He was criticized for this amongst his peers in the field, including Titanic film maker, James Cameron who's the most experienced explorer of the Titanic and the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest part of the ocean. There's a rad documentary about it called Deep Sea Challenge 2014.

30:27 blink and you’ll miss it shot. One of my ancestors is portrayed in the movie here. And is seen more clearly when 5th Officer Lowe fires several warning shots out over the water. Due to time, wars and my paternal grandfather cutting himself off from family in England to migrate to Australia, the details have been somewhat difficult to collate, but in the scene where Lowe fires over the water, you can see one of the sailors wielding the lifeboats tiller arm attachment (big white log) and using it to push people back and wave it warningly at a bunch of men trying to rush the boat. That sailor was an ancestor/relative from my paternal grandfathers side James Cameron tried to make the film as “historically accurate” as possible based on whatever documentation was left from the investigations, and his testimony detailed the exact actions shown in that scene.

[@Endlesshadowsxoxo]

This movie never fails to make me sob like a baby 😭

[@alpaka8437]

It is possible that the picture still exists under water. Menus and tickets were actually discovered at the wreck, which are in good condition. Banknotes were also found near the wreck

[@BK_gamer_]

I saw this six times in theaters in '97-'98 and two more times earlier this year. It's as good as ever.

[@shainewhite2781]

Winner of 11 Oscars including Best Picture! Its one of the highest grossing movie of all time, $2.2 billion dollars.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yes, but it lost out to best actor and actress to “As Good as it Gets.” Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both won best actor and actress for that movie

[@kd2mill]

I watched this movie in the theatre with my wife 30 days after my father died. As I'm watching your reaction, it's been 8 hours since I learned of the death of a close friend who died in his sleep last night. I can only wish in endings like this, but I have faith that my father is waiting on me on the other side.

[@PygmalionFaciebat]

Thats sad. I am not a believer , but i am somehow sure: there is not "nothing" on the other side. We doesnt came out of nothing - there was something there so that we could form and be born. In the same way, i dont think we turn into "nothing" after we die. Whats that "mystery" we are going into: i dont know... but i am somehow sure, its not nothing. And i also hope, that we somehow connect to our loved ones after we die. I dont know wether that helped... but those are my thoughts about it. Nervertheles.. I feel with you.

[@KatWillow-s4e]

You definitely cried the appropriate amount required for that entire sinking sequence. Especially the Macy's couple (the old people cuddling in bed), the children being told a bedtime tale of Tir na Nog. UGH. TEARS. I can't not think of the Britney Spears music video for Oops! I Did It Again at the necklace dropping scene. "Isn't this?" "Yeah, yes it is." "But I thought the old lady dropped it into the ocean in the end?" "Well, baby, I went down and got it for you."

[@martinbraun1211]

I don't know what to think of the timing!? 🤔

[@psicognomo]

the boat took 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink and it was a moonless night ... no light anywhere

[@LukeLovesRose]

Titanic is easily the best disaster movie ever made. It is also one of the greatest Hollywood romances ever put on film. Titanic is also one of the greatest Hollywood epics ever made. I saw this masterpiece 15 times when it first came out. And I've seen Titanic many times since. I cry my eyes out every time

[@masodilla9572]

I get where you’re coming from asking why the people in the water don’t swim towards the boats. But as Jack said that water is unbelievably cold. The sheer shock of hitting that water would take all sense out of you and your only thought would be to stop yourself from drowning

[@MattDeMille]

I really appreciate your commentary concerning curses at the end, as well as insights about the wreck-event itself such as the darkness of the ocean, whistles on lifejackets and such details. I appreciate info and you were very, very insightful on this one. Thank you.

[@Vixsufil]

The shots of the titanic in the beginning is actual footage of the real titanic
