THE GREATEST LOVE STORY! Titantic had me hurting! Movie reaction 

I don't think she died at the end. The first line of the movie's theme song is "Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you." Plus, if that were her afterlife, it wouldn't explain why there are some victims and survivors of the sinking, but not others. If it's her dream, it makes more sense because only her favorite people or people she felt neutrally about were there.

I always thought she died warm in her bed. She did all the things she wanted to do with Jack like learning to ride like a man etc. and at the end she dies warm in a bed as an old lady just like he said

This is WHY she came back to the Titanic! She had the stone, could have just said it. But she wanted to die with Jack.

@@ILoveJesusMySavior Was there survivors in the end? I'm pretty sure I didn't see any of the survivors among the people in her dream/dying scene. All the people I noticed there died on the ship. Sure, I could understand that Cal or even her mother wouldn't be there, but I would expect to at least see Molly, if it would be all the people she associates with the ship. This is why I always thought the scene meant she died. But it would easily make sense as a dream as well. I never thought about the connection between the song lyrics and that scene.

ILoveJesusMySavior Jack said she’d die an old lady warm in her bed. Then we see her fall asleep in bed, have a “dream” about seeing Jack and all the others who died on the ship. She was in heaven. Not dreaming.

I read of one survivor's account of getting chills when they heard a big crowd in a sports arena all cry out together.

@@porflepopnecker4376 That was Frank Goldsmith. His father said, "So long Frankie." I met his son a couple of times. They lived near the Detroit Tigers stadium. Whenever there was a home run, the crowd sounded like the passengers left to die in the water.

Oh yeah. I remember reading about the last few survivors who were still alive when the movie came out and became engrained in pop culture, wanting to remind everyone that even though the Titanic (the ship and what happened to it IRL) has fascinated many, myself among them, it was the great tragedy of the time, and that if people could have heard the cries of all those struggling in the water who froze to death, they would be more respectful and less sensational about the disaster.

@@chrishood2793 oh man, that's so sad 😔

There's a collection of photos taken inside the Carpathia, their faces aren't even scared or serious, they were just sad :(

That's the most creepiest part of the movie I remember it in theaters I never heard so many people so quiet during the movie phenomenally done

I agree but damn the screaming freaks me , I guess a survivor said the screaming reminded him of the roar of a baseball stadium after a home run.

Another part that’s maybe more sad than terrifying is when the string players are playing the calm music over the scenes of utter chaos.

thats what eva hart, one of the survivor, said.

That shot was worse in the 3D version. It just went on and on and on, as far as the light shone.

The last song they played that night was Nearer My God to Thee. It was suspected this was the song that was played since prior to the sinking, the band leader Wallace Hartley had said that it was one of two songs he would play if he were ever on a sinking ship. Eva Hart, a 7 year old survivor from second class, further solidified this claim when she reacted to hearing it in church some time later, giving her flashbacks of that night. Another sad fact about the band was that they were not employed by the White Star Line rather they were contracted through an entertainment company that worked with various cruise lines. After the sinking, that company actually tried to bill the families of the band members for their "unreturned uniforms". As if losing their loved ones wasn't enough!

@@MaytrixMan Wallace Hartley was indeed a devout Methodist. He was said to have played the British Methodist version which is an entirely different musical arrangement than the American version heard in the movie. They were lyrically the same. It was said that Song de Autumn was the last song played, but both songs are similar. I was fortunate to see the physical violin at a Titanic conference before it was put into the Titanic museum.

And then the company sent a bill to each family for the cost of there tuxedos true fact.

@@geoffmower8729 The White Star Line was inconsiderate. The White Star Line requested that the remaining lifeboats be dropped off at the White Star Line pier before dropping off survivors at the Cunard dock.

@@geoffmower8729 I read that too... stupid pencil pushers!

She was and is a beauty!

I don't remember her being critisized for that when Titanic came out? Wouldn't surprise me tho, as the ideal was crazy skinny back then. But I do know that happened when she was young and she still thought she was during the filming of Titanic. Kate has said that Leo told her multiple times "you have to let that whole fat girl thing go" during the filming of the movie haha :)

You can be fat and beautiful, beautiful isn't just skinny/thin/around that... everyone is beautiful... also, I definitely don't remember that but it's ridiculous! She's thin! And even if she weren't, that's messed up, and that's a horrible thing to do to people, especially so young...

@@Cassxowary I agree! As someone who is pretty underweight, I don’t think that my body should be considered beautiful since it is unhealthy. But people calling her fat is nonsense, Kate looks pretty healthy and is honestly very beautiful in this movie.

She’s very beautiful and also she was the right representation of women in that era. This wafer thin “women must be skeletons” fashion is a recent thing.

As he should 👏🏻😔

Me every time

That music, every time 😂😂

Every time😭 I've seen this movie probably over a hundred times but I still get emotional every time they start playing Nearer My God to Thee

"It was a pleasure playing with you tonight"

Honestly. As a girl, sometimes I get so mad when guys try to act tough about things. Like bruh, just cry. And I do understand that the expectations men grow up with give men struggles and trauma with that sort of thing. So I hope men become more comfortable with it and don’t put high expectations on their sons.

@@melmelyn3877 This is the paradox, I would say. Because women want men to show emotions and cry, but if they do, if they cry. More than once a year, or something like that, those same women say that they are too emotional and not manly and don't respect them anymore. I think its more about... knowing when and to who you can show your emotions. If a guy just cries in the middle of the street of classroom or anywhere else, publicly, he will be mocked severely. And no one wants that.

@@Lina-lq7jm agreed. Crying isn't seen as masculine and a fair deal of women like masculine men. But ofc crying is a valid reaction and men should do it as they please without judgement. But ah well

@@HomoErected I agree, if someone wants to cry, go ahead. But every such action does have consequences, and people need to realize that. Even if I, as a woman cried in public, I would get strange looks. And women crying is more "normal". And on one hand, you shouldn't be judged because of something like this. But on the other... maybe because we don't judge, or shouldn't judge anymore creates a more dangerous phenomenon. People become too weak and too soft. Because growing up and getting yourself under control is no longer the goal. Suddenly we have to accept and even worse, indulge in things that only make us weaker. They say that men have high rates of suicide rate because they don't show emotion, but... take a few hundred years ago - men didnt show emotion even more, and they were not killing themselves. Not saying that the suicides are because they are weak now, but being weak, doesn't help, that's for sure. Men fought in wars, worked grueling 12hour days and still, they found strength. Now... some start crying because someone called him a name on twitter. That's simply the degradation of society. But on a personal note, I do agree that in personal environment, with people who matter, men should definitely be ...less unaxesible emotionally.

My boyfriend is very open to me about his emotions and I appreciate that so much about him. We've had many deep conversations.

The whole point of returning the gem was that she wanted it to stay there. She'd been brought to the wreck by greedy men, searching for the stone, and wanted it to stay with the ship. Incidentally, it was a stand-in for the Hope Diamond, which was aboard the Titanic, though it's changed hands a few times since, and I think is sitting in a museum now.

They do have an alternate ending where those guys saw rose on the back of the ship with the necklace, she just smiled and dropped it in the ocean...they just later laughed it off after the shock

@@dollyl5596 that scene is so bad tho 🤣

@@justlive2809 good thing they didn’t use it

@@dollyl5596 right 😂

He was going to retire and the asked him back for one last trip.... He was the Captain of the Olympic, Titanic's sister ship. Only if he said no...

Indeed. Adds more poetry to Titanic’s legend. Hard to believe it actually happened when you look at all of the elements. What are the odds of a ship sinking on its maiden voyage, and that ship happens to be the largest and most luxurious ship of her time, and some of the richest people in the world are on board as well as the ship’s architect, her owner, and as previously mentioned, the last voyage of the captain before retirement, with most of her passengers perishing in the sinking? It sounds like something out of a fiction novel. Only it’s not fiction, unfortunately.

@@TopGunner1994 AND they were pushing her limits speed-wise AND there was no wind that night AND there was no moon that night AND the crows nest didn't have enough (or any? or proper? i forget) binoculars AND the designer/engineer (i think) didn't push harder for more boats on board after he was denied AND they hit it on the side instead of head on which would have done minimal damage and only flooded the very front bulkhead AND the carpathia was too far away AND the nearby ship was useless in getting the message that titanic were in desperate need of their help AND, And, and....damn with so many variables working against her, she honesty never stood a chance. So sad 😞

@@calliemyersbuchanan6458 You have the right idea. Many disasters have a single root cause. The Titanic disaster is special in that it was a combination of several small factors. Any one of them removed might have altered history. Example: While Titanic was still under construction, her sister ship, Olympic collided with a Royal Navy cruiser. Some of the workers building Titanic were moved to Olympic in order to speed up repairs. This delayed Titanic maiden voyage to April. Unfortunate timing. Ice in the Arctic would be melting and breaking away in large chunks and the current would carry them right into shipping lanes. I would also like to point out a few other things you mentioned. While the crow’s next binoculars were mistakenly left behind, they wouldn’t do any good at spotting icebergs at night. In fact, they would have made spotting icebergs harder because lookout’s field of view would have been reduced. 64 was the number of lifeboats needed to cover Titanic’s maximum capacity (3,547). 48 was originally planned, but it was reduced to 20 to keep the upper decks from looking cluttered. A cosmetic decision. Also the regulations at the time asked for at least 16 lifeboats based on her weight. Not by her capacity. The White Star Line exceeded the regulations on Titanic’s lifeboats, but these were poorly implemented regulations. Even if Titanic had more lifeboats, it probably wouldn’t make much difference. The last two lifeboats were not launched. They just simply floated off the ship once the water reached the boat deck. It’s most likely myth that the owner of the Titanic pressured her captain to go faster. For one, that is unethical. Only the captain has the authority on how the ship sails. If there is a storm nearby, only the captain can decide to sail through it or avoid it. Secondly, years earlier the White Star Line shifted its focus from speed to luxury and safety. Titanic wasn’t the fastest ship in the world and they knew it. There was no point in trying to get to New York in record time. Sailing at high speed despite ice warnings was actually common practice at the time. It’s only when you come across icebergs that ships would probably change course or reduce speed. I can imagine that the men in the crow’s next and on the bridge were expecting to see an icebergs from a safe distance and simply sail passed them without having to make evasive action. It’s a big ocean, after all. What are the odds that the first iceberg they see happened to be right in their path? Actually, they might have passed a few icebergs before striking the one they saw. It was that dark. In fact, when they spotted the iceberg, what they initially saw was wasn’t the iceberg itself, but an area of the horizon that was absent of stars due to the iceberg blocking those stars from view. They didn’t ram the bow of the Titanic into the iceberg because they thought they had a chance of evading it. No one wants to be the cause of unnecessary damage to something as expensive as a ocean liner. As for the ship nearby, Californian, they were confused by the atmospheric conditions and were still far away from each other, about 12 to 17 miles, and it was night. If you were on Californian and you saw Titanic’s lights in the distance, you had no idea of knowing if it was a small ship close by or if it was a large ship much further away. The rockets from Titanic were being fired at random instead of intervals that would indicate distress. Both ships did try to signal each other with morse lamps, but they were ineffective due to the distance. And the wireless operator on Californian, he went to sleep before Titanic hit the iceberg. The Californian crew on the bridge probably thought he was awake and if there was a problem, they would have gotten a telegraph (at least that’s my guess). Even if Californian had somehow acted, there wasn’t much she could do. She was a small ship with a crew less than 50. That doesn’t mean no attempt should have been made, but I think it’s ridiculous to lay the deaths of all those people at the feet of Californian.

@@calliemyersbuchanan6458 Binoculars arguably would have made the situations worse. There’s a really good video explaining how which I’ll link below but essentially binoculars limit your sight to cover a far smaller area which, under the specific circumstances present the night Titanic sank, would have made the iceberg harder to see. As for the binoculars I think they were misplaced. Video link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RoL7s_qV04w.html

They actually used a LOT of CGI in this movie. Yes, they built one side of the ship to 90% scale, and did a lot of practical effects, but they used a lot of CGI that was very new for the time. You know that blonde lady who falls so close to where they were? That was CGI. A lot of the people were CGI entirely. They made massive use of both CGI and practical effects.

@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria They sure did, still, I think the main reason it looks so good and hasnt aged visually is cause a huge chuck was practical

@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria But that blonde woman was in other scenes. Most were deleted but she's the girl dancing with Fabrizio at the party. There's a whole storyline with them that was edited out.

@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria Do you mean just her falling was CGI?

The large set of the titanic was over 700ft long nearly the same length as the ship itself

So true! I had just turned 16 when I saw it in the theater (and of course cried my eyes out). But what I remember most is the following year (1998), the news announcing pretty much every week that Titanic had just broken X record. And this went on for months, easily into the spring. Then the soundtrack was released, so that just fueled the mania more. Then it came out on VHS *while it was still in theaters*. But seriously, this movie deserved all the hype it got!

I went to see it 6 times in theaters

You said that brilliantly!! I saw it 5 times in the theatres in 98 when I turned 18 and then 3 more times when it was re-released in 3D. It remains my favorite movie out of all my favorite movies even now!

This is so true. I saw it in theaters 3 times as a teen. It's hard to describe to young ppl how powerful that time was. I still feel the same when I watch it, and Celine's song still gives me chills.

I was 7 years old at the time and saw it 3 times at the cinema... and when the vhs dropped... it all happened again... and everytime the song would play on mtv my whole family would run to the tv to watch the music video and listen to the song.. so everything you said is sooo

My gangsta Rose moment was “I’d rather be his whore than your wife” Then spat in his face the way Jack taught her 😉 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

The necklace was based on a real sapphire necklace of tremendous value enlaced with diamonds called "The Love of the Sea." It was a gift from Henry Morely given to his mistress, Kate Florence Phillips. He bought second-class tickets for the two of them and they went by a different name to avoid being noticed. The two would plan to marry in the United States. Kate wore the necklace proudly and many passengers noticed. She was wearing it when the ship hit the iceberg. Henry drowned, leaving Kate to survive, losing everything but the necklace.

The captain, J.J. Astor, Countess of Rothes, Ismay, Thomas Andrews, 1st officer Murdoch, 2nd officer Lightoller, the unsinkable Molly Brown... all real, and many, many more.

Did you know there’s a grave in Halifax Nova Scotia where all the titanic graves are that has the name J Dawson. People leave gifts and flowers thinking it’s Jack Dawson when in actual fact it is Joseph Dawson who was a stoker on the ship. Also there was a woman in third class called Rosa Abbott, she lost both her sons, the youngest would have survived if it wasn’t for the fact he celebrated his 13th birthday a few days before the sinking.

The chef seen swigging from a flask and hanging from the boat next to Jack and Rose was also a real survivor. His name was Charles Joughin, and he is credited as being the last person to get off the ship. He helped load people onto lifeboats, even filling some lifeboats with food and supplies from the kitchen. When there were no more lifeboats, he started throwing furniture from the cabins into the water to be used as floatation devices. He finally rode the stern (rear) of the ship down and simply stepped off it when it fully submerged, barely getting his own head damp (there wasn't the great suction that this movie depicted). He treaded water for two hours before being rescued, miraculously suffering only mild frostbite despite the freezing water that killed most of the other victims within minutes. It's believed that he survived because he had been drinking heavily that evening after his shift in the kitchen was over, and the alcohol in his system helped keep him from freezing to death.

@@glennwelsh9784 Nah, alcohol doesn't do shit for cold. He just kept swimming to warm up, although the alcohol might have helped him ignore the cold enough to keep swimming.

As much as I would like to be remembered by future generations, just my loved ones remembering me will be enough because they are the people who matter to me, and I matter to them. 💜

also, the spitting in his face was real!

Pretty much the whole story is true and reasonably accurate - except for Jack & Rose. The Titanic Experience and Museum in Belfast, close to where the ship was built is awesome. Anyone who has a chance should visit.

Some of the wreckage shots are staged, particularly the ones that show both vehicles in the same shot and the ones of the Titanic's interior.

@@Llanchlo Nah There’s a LOT of the supposed historical stuff in this movie that didn’t happen in real life but it’s a movie and it definitely reminds people of what a tragedy the sinking of the titanic was. Ultimately, that’s what matters.

@@Exoixx Most of it was accurate for what we knew in '97, even the deleted scenes. There's a lot of things that have been discovered since. There were things that were implied such as the third-class being stuck behind gates. That was false because there were no gates blocking the main hallways. At the time, it was speculated that Murdoch killed himself. This came from a witness saying she saw Murdoch take his own life. Cameron went with that, but we don't have evidence of that, or if it was even the right officer. We don't know if Ismay snuck into the boat. One witness said that Murdoch demanded him in. We also had a witness that said Ismay ordered for more speed, but we know that boiler room #1 was never used, despite what Smith said in the movie. Smith also changed course to the longer Southern Transatlantic route to avoid ice altogether. This would definitely add travel time. He put Lightoller on high alert to look out for growlers (low level ice) This was communicated to the lookouts. When Murdoch's shift began, Lightoller passed the information. Murdoch took special watch for any warning signs. Water temperature checks were taken periodically. The movie shows the ship with a decent amount of illumination. In reality, it was a moonless night and it was pitch dark, except for the stars. The decks were poorly illuminated. Many passengers couldn't see from the forward or back ends of the main deck causing there to be crowds around a certain group of boats and sparse around other groups. Of course, you wat to see things in a movie.

@@chrishood2793 That’s not strictly true...As you say yourself there were things known in ‘97 to be false that Cameron went with anyway to fit the movie narrative. Agree there were elements, especially of the actual sinking that weren’t known then. But there’s a fair bit of BS, like most Titanic movies. With Murdoch, there was more than one single witness than named Murdoch specifically but when you dig in, most either couldn’t have known him to identify (for various reasons) or were nowhere near at the time. But evidence does point to there being a potential suicide and Murdoch certainly hasn’t been disproved as that person. Yes, we have a witness that claimed Ismay wanted more speed but of course we know Titanic wasn’t at her full speed that night and they intended to push her further in the next couple of days. As you say, we know the course was changed to avoid the ice (known perfectly well in ‘97.) I remember! We also have ‘Molly’ as she’s known in the film getting into one of the first boats, the fictional meeting of officers with Ismay (which doesn’t help to convey how few people really understood the seriousness of the situation before it was too late), Smith portrayed as being in a total daze when we know for a fact he was actually proactive, the implication that had there been more boats more lives would have been saved etc without getting into the technicalities so I don’t think it’s fair to say most of it is accurate...it’s not really. But as I say, I’m glad it gets people interested and thinking about the tragedy Titanic was.

Well he had a tragic ending as old Rose tells it. He committed suicide.

This comment section! I was 16 and 17 (had a bday between lol) and went 3x in theaters.

I heard too about the trauma derived from the screams, it was said even hearing the screams at a baseball game years later would trigger off the PTSD of the sinking ship all over again.

Frederick Fleet was. He was the crew member who spotted the Iceberg ... way too late of course. And he has said how he had always felt guilty about it, including in the years after when he made it ashore and continued working. Eventually, committing suicide. Tragic too of course.

This is incorrect. Billy Zane has debunked the rumor, saying it would be "inappropriate" and would have scared Kate Winslet, and he wouldn't do something like that. Kate did, however, improvise the part where she spits in his face :D

Me too. I saw this movie many times in theatre. It was always jam-packed inside. And many more were waiting outside the theatre.

or Kate, generally guys... but same...

I didn’t see it. I didn’t think he was cute until abt the time he was in inception.

Very true. I remember being so sad that Rose couldn't save Jack. You know, a burden she must have felt. Hence, why I also wanted Jack to live and make it ashore, because, now Rose could save him.

@Sonique Cat Yup, they were sassy. When Jack later says during the 1st class dinner that he doesn't like caviar and we see Rose laughing in response, the audience would have known and gotten the instant reference, because, in that same deleted scene you mention, we see Rose sharing her dislike for caviar too. Showing you the importance of context that adding the deleted scenes would have done to the movie, including making it even more beautiful. The other scene you refer to: _"Come Josephine into my flying machine"_ when both Jack is walking Rose back to her cabin after the 3rd class dance party, does the exact same job of making the movie more beautiful and meaningful with its references. That includes, the sight of a shooting star that Jack and Rose see, and then, have Jack say: _"my pops used to say that each time you saw a shooting star a soul is going to heaven."_ This is important, because, we do see Rose seeing a shooting star passing by as she lies in the cold water on the wooden panel, right before she sees Officer Lowe and his lifeboat approaching her and Jack. Then, this is also of course the moment we see Rose finding out Jack had passed away. Hence, the shooting star is and remains a beautiful reference to Jack having gone to heaven. Very unfortunate that Cameron has removed this.

If Rose hadn't remarried, I'd have thought it was great....now that I'm older I hate the love story lol. That being said Kate was STUNNING in this and phenomenal acting all around. So nostalgic for me too, being born in 90.

There's the debate if she died, or just was sleeping and dreaming all that. Cameron knows what the real answer is and won't say, letting people decide for themselves.

@@minnesotajones261 I like my ending. 😉😉😉😉💖

@@gerrimcgrath6878 So do I, just saying he left it ambiguous on purpose...

All the people in the end is people who died. Also the clock shows the time Titanic sank. I believe she finally died and reunited with Jack and everybody else on the ship. Like he said, -you are going to die an old lady warm in you bed. And the pictures are showing us that she have had a good life.

And they are all clapping for them 😭

Not the first time improv by DiCaprio has been kept it, including in Django Unchained when he cut his hand accidentally to glass.

I saw it opening night, before the world knew Jack died. I started off upset since I thought the movie was historical, and it was modern day! Or so I thought. Then it went back in time. I had no idea at all going in that there was modern framing. And then Jack died. Holy shit. Even my dad was crying his eyes out. The only time I’d ever seen him cry otherwise was when our dog died. Yet he stood outside the theater in tears.

It's a year late, but you're right. ^^ That also has a reason. The scene was slightly altered by Billy Zane. His acting was improvised. It wasn't actually intended that he would throw the table over and yell at her like that.

@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria Thanks for sharing that story. And it's absolutely true. Titanic is *not* just known for its unexpected huge theatrical success of almost $2 Billion in 1997-98, but also for 'the movie that made men cry' and leaving women watching it 6-7 times or so, because, they saw themselves in Rose's character. With the ending of seeing Rose in all those pictures of having lived a beautiful life that left them inspired and in awe.

Just imagine...the time you were watching the movie..ppl were struggling to survive...and by the time the movie ends...everyone was in the ice cold water

Not true. The length of the movie was purely accidental, because, Cameron had to sell the movie to a large audience but with the 21st century (or nearing) in mind. The way to do this was to start with the elder Rose and Brock and Lizzie etc. giving the audience a present setting, and then, go back in time to relive Rose's memory. We must also have our introduction of Jack and the start of a blossoming relationship. You know, all this keeping the actual sinking in mind as well, which was to be the centerpiece. Hence, there was no other way than the movie having to be 3 hours long.

It is completely unimaginable, to know of how terrified and powerless people would have felt. I also had family on board, they didn't make it. They were two brothers who worked on board the ship. One went down with it and the other was recovered, identified and then buried at sea. Its honestly so sad.

@@xXxSkye08xXx truly. It remains unthinkable. No matter how many times you hear the story, you will always listen. Rapt. Horrified. Wide-eyed. But there are always things we remember that make us giddy with excitement, the staircase, the dining rooms, the cabins. She was a beautiful ship. And that is how it is so affecting and powerful. That beauty turned to horror in just under 3 hours. And with such minimal damage, man’s greatest achievement is swept from existence. I can only say how sorry I am for that loss; it is unthinkable. But they are remembered with great love by all around the world.

This couple is supposed to be Isidor Straus, the owner (with his brother Nathan) of Macy's department store, and his wife Ida. She did indeed refuse to get into a lifeboat without him, saying, "Where you go, I go."

Also at end of movie when rose reunites with Jack the time on the clock is 2.20 am the time the ship sank

NOOO IM CRYINF NOW 😭😭

Me as as well 😭ty for sharing

It's always the good and honorable people that end up suffering or dying. That's why the world is full of garbage :')

Nope. Murdoch's plot and Ismay's plot were wrong. An American paper used the survival of Ismay to defame him. And guess what, it succeeded. Everyone thinks of him as a coward and villain. He actually helped many passengers get into boats and when he was sure none were left to get onto the boat where he was located, he got into a lifeboat. Also, Murdoch didn't shoot passengers and commit suicide, he was swept away when the first funnel collapsed. Also, Ismay's and Captain's conversation did happen and she did overhear, but her testimony says that Ismay was really excited rather than compelling Captain to increase more speed. Movie also got wrong with third class being locked down. Only a few gates were present that too to seperate crew area with passenger area and to seperate 1st and 3rd class. 3rd class were seperated to avoid diseases because their lifestyle was like that. Most 3rd class died because they weren't all English. They couldn't navigate from the bottom of the ship to the boat deck. Also the ship's design was like a maze. As time went by, many accepted their fate. Many couldn't escape at the right time.

Ughhh I can't watch that scenes again 😭😭

The Elderly couple was Ida and Isadore Strauss. They were offered seats on a boat, but decided to remain on the ship and let younger people who hadn’t had a chance to live full lives yet take their place. They chose to sacrifice themselves. The Irish mother reading to her children kills me. Fucking kills me. That’s the hardest scene in this entire movie. I couldn’t imagine trying to keep my daughter calm and feeling safe while knowing that she would die that night, and then the water hit, there would be suffering, but how to keep her calm as long as possible to minimize the time spent panicking and suffering.

The ship, the Californian, was shown in a deleted scene.

They didn’t think they were celebrating, they just plain didn’t understand the rockets and told their captain and he didn’t do anything. His career and life was rightfully or wrongfully tarnished by his inaction in the disaster .

@@mackmitchell94 I never understood why they simply just turn their wireless back on. It would have been a simple question.

From what I read they had no red flares so they sent up white which is why they did not see it as a distress signal

@@kikouri actually they discovered the box which contained the rockets at the wreck site and it had multiple colors . Some red, some white, and some blueish

I'm SO jealous! I was too small (Jan '93 baby), so I never saw it *cinema* big. Apparently when my mom saw it from the front row though, she felt sick. Like seasick 🤣🤣

@@NoudlePipW I was just barely young enough not to be able to watch it at the cinema D; (7 years old) I remember feeling quite jealous of my older sister... xD

Here in my house, we set up a professional projector (oh, the money...that hurt) and retractable screen for this movie and Star Wars, as well as surround sound. Not as big as a 30’ screen, but 12’ isn’t too shabby.

Where was Gondor when the Titanic sunk? 🙄😉

@@everybodyliesm.d7348 lol touche

@@everybodyliesm.d7348 God tier comment. 🤣

woulda been a hell of a crash though. ^^

That would put stress in the middle of the ship and it would sink from the middle

@Pablo Martinez the impact would have extended the entire length of the ship, splitting seams and bursting rivets, in which case many more of the ship’s compartments would have been exposed to the sea, causing the ship to sink much faster. Specially with the type of steel they have used

Fact!.

Almost correct. It would have significantly damaged the first few chambers, but the ship would have stayed afloat long enough for help to have arrived.

Interesting! I thought it was Celine Dion who sang o;

@@usagiwhitenight I thought that, too. 😂I just found out that it was """Ariel""" a few years ago.

That was Celine Dion singing my heart must go on.

About 2, Murdock actually forced him into the lifeboat at that point. Ismay gets such a bad rep due to the rumor he pushed for more speed, and the fact he didn't die with the ship, even if his death wouldn't have changed a thing.

@@Riku-zv5dk I agree, he really doesn´t deserve the hate he gets

@@Riku-zv5dk history has done few people as dirty as J Bruce Ismay

He funded his own expeditions which are not cheap. He's been to the wreck several times, and even took Bill Paxton down to the wreck. It's interesting that he did exactly the same thing he portrayed as a character. Paxton became obsessed with Titanic.

He's also the human being who went to the deepest part of the ocean in the Mariana Trench. We hent 11 km down the surface

High in sulfur.

Experts said that is wrong.

Yeah this is History Channel myth stuff. The Titanic was built with the best steel available at the time and the choice of rivets, though potentially subpar, were common practice for curved parts of the ship that could not be machine driven-in.

Interesting about Lowe, he didn't actually have a flashlight. He had to search in the dark. Lowe also slept through the collision and was not woken by the officers and missed the meeting. I imagine he must have been a little frustrated.

head on would have made the entire ship crumple, given it was all held together with rivets since this was before welding was a thing. but the rest is all accurate

Standard response was to turn the ship and stop the engines, not throw them in reverse. Stopping the engines would prevent all the propeller blades from being sheared off would they make contact with the object, and reversing the engines would, as you pointed out, cause a lot of turbulence around the rudder and decrease the ship's turning ability.

@@LordAmerican I'm no expert but I did think the standard response to an object dead did include reversing the engines - in smaller ships it may have provided some additional slowing/stopping power, but with the Olympic Class stopping them, let alone reversing them, removed the force on the rudder, causing the ship to, as one author I read some time ago put it, skid into the berg.

I’d just add one thing-mind you it’s still a contentious hypothesis but it merits mentioning that there are claims (and some evidence to support it) that there were some significant fires burning in the ships coal storage for at least several days which - especially on a single-hulled ship - would cause a severe temperature gradient across the cross-section metal of the hull (hot on the inner surface, water temp on the outer surface) which, to say simply, is anything but ideal for the integrity of the material. If accurate, it would just be one more link in the chain of bad decisions and oversights that led to the disaster.

Still there are so many major inaccuracies like Ismay's villainous portrayal that he asked to speed up, Captain Smith ignoring warnings and lighting up last boilers, Officer Murdoch shooting himself, etc...

Engines was never reversed. It was something thought to happen at the time, but has been proven inaccurate by Historians.

Yeah, that wide shot when they're shooting off flares, and you see the ship is just surrounded by the darkness of the sky and the ocean fills you with such dread. The massive ship is just a tiny blip among the vast, uncaring emptiness that you know is about to swallow them up.

I’m a 33 year old man and this is one of my favorite films of all time. So beautiful and powerful.

I believe Mr Ismay was the managing director and general of The white star line :-)

🤣🤣🤣

Omg that’s crazy. I need to watch that movie again to see for myself.

Well said!

The Notebook 2004 1080p what movie plz

The speed of the Titanic did make it too fast to turn away from the berg, however, as the rudder was too small for what was necessary at the time. The lack of moonlight that night made it harder to detect as well from the lookout post. There's also the lack of anyone at the wireless, the lack of sufficient lifeboats, and the high sulfur content of the steel used to build the ship itself. I'm probably forgetting a few things. It was one big series of oversights and hubris.

@@StCerberusEngel Almost everything you said is wrong. Titanic hit the iceberg because the lookouts saw it too late as there was a mirage on the horizon. The rudder was not too small, if it was Harland and Wolff would have designed new ones for Olympic and Britannic, but they didn't. And I'm not sure what you mean by lack of wireless. Titanic had 2 wireless officers and kept a 24 hour watch. The lack of lifeboats is the Board of Trade's fault. They said ships had to have 16 lifeboats onboard, but Titanic actually had 20. Titanic was built with some of the best steel available at the time, we only think of it as low quality when compared to steel we can produce today. Queen Mary in Long Beach was built with steel from the same mill that produce steel for Titanic, and she's still around and afloat today. You really should do better research.

@@StCerberusEngel 1. When the spotted the iceberg, it was simply too late to turn. They movie stretches it out, and I don't know the exact time span, but I believe from the moment the iceberg was spotted to the collision, they had maybe around 20 seconds. Not nearly enough to avoid it, and no the rudder wasn't too small, the ship was perfectly capable of sharp maneuvers. 2. The steel used was high quality for the time (remember she was built in 1911). Compared to todays standarts it may be sub par, but for the time the ship was very well consturcted in general. And 3. If you're talking about other ships' wireless operators, yes there were some on the surrounding ships who had gone to sleep already that night, but on Titanic the operators remained at their post until the ship didn't have enough power to send messages anymore! If you're talking about Titanics wireless, (first of all, I don't know where you got that idea from) that's just flat out wrong.

@@GetA_Life117 1. My point exactly. It was too late and the ship couldn't make the turn needed due to its speed. It's a contributing factor, common practice or not. 2. While there was no way to test for this at the time, the high sulfur content in the steel made it brittle in freezing temperatures. So when you're passing through the north Atlantic in April, (not sure why I originally said January) it doesn't really matter if it's high quality for the time. It's not high quality for the situation, especially in a collision. 3. Yes, I am referring to other ships not receiving the distress calls. If I remember right, the Carpathia was the only ship that received the message, and they took over an hour after the Titanic sank to arrive. And even that was a matter of luck that someone happened to be in the wireless room to get the message.

@@Titanic_401 I didn't say the rudder was too small for the ship. It was too small at that speed to make a turn away at that distance. In other words, they saw it too late for the ship to turn away from it. Just as you said. And just as I said. The lifeboats could not accommodate all passengers aboard and it's been said that they weren't loaded to capacity even then, so it's a contributing factor in how many lives were lost. The steel was high quality for the time, but not for the situation. The sulfur content made it brittle at freezing temperatures, so a collision in the North Atlantic in April (not sure why I remembered it being Jan) was the worst possible scenario for the materials used. I know it's in hindsight. They couldn't test for that back then. But it still is a factor in why what happened happened. And I'm referring to the fact that the only ship to happen (because it was a matter of luck that they did) to receive the distress calls from Titanic was the Carpathia. And it took that ship over an hour after the Titanic sank to get to them. So everything I said is accurate. All from various documentaries over the years as well as online publications (not Wikipedia).

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

it actually isn't the grand staircase it was a separate room for the first class women to drink tea and eat cake. they show it in the scene where rose is with her mother, Lady duff Gordan and the duchess of Rothes talking about rose's wedding and she turns to see a little girl and her mother. Thats the room you see in. that scene which I'm guessing was a first class girl who got trapped and drowned. that scene also fascinated me when I saw the movie when I was 5

@@girlyvidsbyali1475 Oh, that's good to know. Thank you!
