Except for Jack and Rose this movie is very historically accurate

One of the deleted scenes really goes into why she never sold the necklace, and why she threw it into the ocean. Her line was: The hardest part about being so poor was being so rich. But every time I thought of selling it, I thought of cal. And somehow I got by without his help. This is why she came out to Titanic‘s resting place. It was not to tell her story. It was to put the diamond back where it belonged

When he said Nickelodeon, he wasn’t referring to the channel company name. He was referring to a first movie theater showings having been called nickelodeans, they cost 1 nickel admission. The first theater type of show started in 1905. *Googled lol.

38:25 the elderly couple on the bed together were based on Isador and Ida Strausse and the couple were the richest passengers aboard Titanic. Isador was co owner of Macey Dept Store in New York. Ida refused to enter the lifeboats without her husband who insisted that he would not leave until everyone else he thought more deserving had left. Ida gave her seat to her maid and remained at her husbands side. The last sighting of the pair was on deck where they stood embracing. I can watch this entire movie without issue until I see that shot, with that music and I'm in bits. Every. Single. Time.

Yes, it’s actual footage of the wreck. James Cameron, the director, made numerous dives to film the wreck and explore.

I haven’t seen anyone else comment it yet, so - at 22:30, when Jack says “on the bed-the couch,” that was an actual mistake Leo made because he was flustered, but James Cameron left it in there. I love these two and their friendship after all these years. 🖤

This movie is so historically accurate that even the last song the musicians play was the actual song they played, it's "Nearer my God to thee". And to think that's the song all those people heard right before they died. Also the mother with the two children, the old couple, they were all real people.

Titanic was huge at the time it was built, but it's tiny compared to today's cruise ships. The main characters and main plot (other than the sinking of the Titanic) are fictitious, but some of the side characters (the crew-Captain, Ismay, Andrews, the musicians, etc, and many of the wealthy passengers-Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor, Guggenheim) are real. The shots of the sunk Titanic is actual footage of the real ship.

The funny thing about the iceberg sighting is that it was spotted at the VERY worst moment. If they had spotted it sooner, they would have been able to turn and avoid the collision. If they had spotted it later, they would not have had time to turn and hit it head on, crushing the first 2 or 3 compartments, which would let the ship stay afloat. But at the point when the iceberg was actually spotted and they started turning, the ended up scraping the ship down the side of the berg, and it punched holes down the side of the ship, opening up enough compartments to allow the ship to sink. WORST . . . TIMING . . . EVER!

"Make it count, meet me at the clock" Rose did make her life count and at the end she meet Jack again at the clock 🤩🤩😭😭😭

always tell myself i wont cry when i see the kids tucked into bed when its sinking or at the end where u see she lived a fun filled normal life but it gets me EVERY DAMN TIME

The old couple at the end were based on the real life couple, Isidor and Ida Straus. Isidor was a co-owner of Macey’s department store.

Neat fact, from the moment movie titanic starts sinking it takes 2hrs and 12 mins just as the original titanic took to fully sink.

Love the movie, HATE how they portrayed Molly Brown in the end. This woman was found in a basket in a river as a baby by a gruff loner and was basically raised as a boy. With help she moved to a town, she taught herself to read and married a man who eneded up finding one of the biggest gold claims ever. Pennsylvania Society treated her like absolute garbage. So she went to Europe and turns out the Crown Heads of Europe couldn't get enough of her, thought she was a breath of fresh air. She booked passage on the Titanic to go back to America. In the movie they have her cowed by the guy on lifeboat when he yelled at her...NO NO NO. She became the Unsinkable Molly Brown for how she refused to give in and thru sheer force of will kept the folk on her lifeboat in good enough spirits to survive until rescue. She was brought back, hailed as a hero and finally accepted by High Society. Sorry, one of my favorite musicals/movies is The Unsinkable Molly Brown with Debbie Reynolds. Gives you a good idea of who she was.

As someone who's seen Titanic a bunch of times and is touched by certain moments of it every single time, it was really nice seeing a reaction video from someone who's never seen this movie before and to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you for the great, immersed reaction.

What makes me always cry about this movie is that Jack saved Ross ini any ways she could imagine. He saved her when she was about to jump, he saved her when she has nothing to live for. But then again, only she can save herself. Her willingness to live saved her, and Jack was a part of it. It’s like Jack was born to give back her spirit to live even tho they don’t end up together in life 😭😭😭

This will always be one of my favorite romance movies. The emotions in it are just so raw and palpable. It's beautiful but tragic, which i find to be the most heart wrenching stories. Every time I watch this movie I leave with an ache in my chest just from how powerful and sad the whole story is, not only Jack and Rose's story but the stories of every person on that ship. Such a beautiful movie. Sometimes people forget how beautiful it is because it's become such a staple of pop culture, but it truly is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful love stories ever written in my opinion. It gives me the same ache in my chest as Romeo and Juliet.

James Cameron was extremely meticulous in his attention to detail for this film- they perfectly replicated the sets to look exactly as they did on the Titanic. The china and cutlery was all perfectly recreated too. Even the extras in the background wore costumes that were time-period correct, so much so that they were hand made and hand embroidered with their embellishments. Even the extras themselves were historically accurate; the maid Mr. Andrews addresses, Lucy, (right before rose finds him) is based on real life survivor Violet Jasop, who survived the sinking of the titanic and her sister ship, Britannic, in 1916. There’s another scene where James Ismay is talking to Captain Smith about going faster and the woman in the blue dress in the background is based on a real survivor who overheard that conversation and testified about it during the titanic inquiry So TL/DR yes this movie is historically accurate, despite the ship sinking slightly differently than what they imagined in 1997

1. 38:27 She's telling her kids the story of Tír na nÓg, it's an Irish folklore story about the land of eternal youth. Pretty heartbreaking as she knows her kids will die and never grow old. The Titanic was built in Northern Ireland so a lot of Irish were on board but all of them were in 3rd class. 2. The interior shots of of ship, the staircase in particular, were an exactly replica. Unbelievably so. 3. So, so, SO much of this including some characters were based on real people. 4. Kate Winslet almost drowned at one point 5. The musicians did keep playing as the ship sank! There's TONS of trivia about this movie, it's crazy, but that's what comes to mind ha

Every single time that man says "Iceberg, right ahead", my eyes fill up with tears and I can barely hold it. I instantly ugly cry. It's the start of one of the most heartbreaking events ever... 💔 Beautifully done by the movie crew

Winner of 11 Oscars including Best Picture.

It's the most historically accurate Titanic movie. In 1997, this film was incredibly accurate. Nowadays, with more advanced research, not so much. There are a few things the movie gets wrong. *A few things the movie gets right* The scale of the ship, thanks to the life-sized sets they built Many of the interior spaces. While not fully accurate, they're close enough. For example, the corridors weren't nearly as wide as they are in the film. Many of the real people on the Titanic are portrayed accurately with actors who look a good deal like them. The Edwardian clothes are just perfection. Many aspects of the sinking are accurate, such as water dripping from the ceiling, breaking panels, and the ship breaking apart. Despite its inaccuracies I'll mention below, the film encapsulates the sensation of being aboard and all the emotions that went with it. The iceberg collision scene is very accurate. The film uses actual footage of the wreck. If only the wreck is shown, or one submersible, that's the real wreck. A model was used in shots that show two submersibles and some interiors. Many of the deleted scenes portray real events accurately. It's a shame so many were cut. Jack pronounces 'valet' correctly. The grand staircase is perfectly represented. Many lines were taken straight from A Night to Remember, which took them directly from survivor testimony. The flooding of the ship in her final moments is extremely riveting and is probably how it would have looked if you were unlucky enough to witness it. A few survivors did claim that they saw an officer fire into the crowd of men, killing one of them, before turning the gun on himself. Who he was or if this 100% happened is unknown, but it didn't come from nowhere. The way people died in the water following the stern flooding and sinking is super accurate. A passenger liner passed the floating bodies some days later and people aboard screamed in terror at the sight of babies, mothers, crewmen, and dozens of others floating lifelessly in the middle of the sea. *A few things the movie gets wrong* (based on more modern knowledge, so I can't fault Cameron for some of these. I'm pointing these out to dispel misinformation and myth. Major inaccuracies are in bold while the others aren't that important) First and foremost: *the way the movie portrays J. Bruce Ismay is entirely wrong.* He is shown to be obsessed with speed and not safety, and he is generally portrayed as cowardly and weasel-like. Much of this is based on character assassination by the American press during the inquiries. Ismay acted heroically the night of the sinking, helping launch lifeboats. He did escape the ship, believing all women had left as the deck was empty. He said he was horrified when he learned the truth and lived the remainder of his days a broken man. Titanic was the second ship in her class. The movie overplays Titanic's fame during her maiden voyage. Olympic was the more famous ship up until Titanic sank. Titanic was not the only ship called unsinkable. Lusitania, Mauretania, and Olympic were all called unsinkable before Titanic. The movie modernises class struggles between first and third class. Third class was treated very well. They were waited on at dinner, had electricity, and running water. The movie acts as though they were treated like garbage. The movie blames the lack of lifeboats on deck overcrowding. In reality, maritime law said a ship 10,000 gross register tons or more had to carry 16 boats. At 46,000 GRT, Titanic carried 20, exceeding the law's requirements. She was equipped with new davits if that law ever changed, but it never did until after she sank. *Titanic had more boats aboard than required by law.* *Titanic was not built for speed.* She could never compete with Mauretania for the blue riband. *Ismay did not pressure Smith to go faster.* While they did have this conversation, it went differently and was taken out of context to demonise Ismay. In reality, Ismay was showing his excitement at how well the ship was running. The ice warnings said the ships ahead had clear weather, so it wasn't as though Captain Smith was moving forward blindly. Passenger ships of the time only slowed or stopped when danger was actually spotted. The ship was not put astern during the collision scene. She was put astern to make a full stop, but this was some minutes after. *Firemen did not have to rush to an exit.* There were ladders that could take them to the tops of the boiler casings. *Third class passengers were NOT, I repeat, NOT locked below.* There were no such gates separating passenger classes. One could get to the grand staircase through an emergency door along Scotland road. In my opinion, this is the biggest sin of the movie. Many boats were launched half-full because many women and some men simply didn't want to leave the ship, not to kill off third class, or to kill off the men, etc. A conversation between Lightoller and Thomas Andrews did not change how secure people were in the ship until it was too late. Captain Smith's behaviour during the sinking is up for debate, but testimony suggests he wasn't nearly that comatose by the end. He was still active in the whole evacuation process. The American version of 'Nearer My God to Thee' was probably not the version played, but it still fits so I give it a pass. The breakup of the ship. I won't get into details since the exact way the stern sank will always be up for debate, but what I will say is that the stern most certainly never reached such a height. She broke apart at a shallow angle, and the breakup itself was not so clean, with large chunks of the ship falling away.

I can't take credit for this because it's a quote I read ages ago, but it sums up Jack & Rose's love beautifully: "Jack wanted to live and Rose wanted to die. Jack died for Rose and Rose lived for Jack." I love how her heaven was reuniting with Jack on the ship.

I remember being so in love with this movie, as a young child... back when it was on VHS and you had to change tape 1 to tape 2. Haha. Glad you enjoyed it!

A Nickelodeon is the early version of "moving pictures" aka film aka movies. Basically it's a large box that has a photo reel inside of it. A person walks up & looks through the binoculars attached to it to view the "moving pictures"

I forgot how many iconic lines Titanic had! "Draw me like one of your french girls" classic.

Here's an interesting tidbit: one of the ones rescued from the water worked in the kitchens. I'm pretty sure he was a chef or a baker, but he took a bunch of alcohol from the kitchens and drank enough of it to keep his body temperature warm, and was found hanging on a capsized life boat. That's definitely what I would do. Even if I didn't survive, I feel like being a little tipsy might help with the terror of the situation!

As a titanic fanatic it was refreshing to watch someone who hasn’t seen the movie and enjoy it. 😊

Titanic was built here in Belfast, Northern Ireland (Country in the UK NOT Ireland). I have to walk past the 2 yellow cranes that built it for work and it's always silent due to the times I work so it's really eerie. My great grandad worked on it and there's pics of him that my granda showed me. It's so personal for us in N.I.

Ditto what everyone else is saying about accuracy plus a couple of things. One, the elderly couple at the end is based on an actual couple. They had been married for, I forget how long but most of their lives and she refused to get on a boat without him. Two, there was an officer named Murdoch on Titanic but he did not shoot himself. His family was actually very, very angry about that detail in the movie. Three, shooting this movie helped the scientists figure out what happened to the real grand staircase. The wreck was discovered in the 80s and they had never been able to figure out what happened to it. The movie version was built to be an exact replica and when they flooded the set, it lifted up and floated away, finally shedding light on why the real one wasn't with the wreck. Also, a "fun" fact. There was a ship closer than the four hours but, if I'm remember the story correctly, their radiomen got pissed off at the Titanic radiomen and turned off the radio and went to bed. That ship was only, like, an hour away. And yes, The guy you said looked familiar? He's Victor Newman on Young and the Restless. Sorry for the short essay. I've been obsessed with the Titanic since I was a kid.

I love when Old Rose describes the necklace as a "dreadful, heavy thing", it's exactly like my grandmother 😂 She has all these really old, beautiful, expensive pieces of jewellery and that's exactly what she says haha

I showed Titanic to my girlfriend the other night. She had never seen it before. She cried so much, especially during the ending when Rose reunites with Jack. We kissed to the scene too and it reminded us how much we love each other. Beautiful movie, so glad you finally saw it! ❤️

the guy who was on the back of the shop with them when it went under was the ships baker. he had drank so much whiskey that it changed his body chemistry and as a result the cold from the water didn’t affect him as much and he survived

Yes that was Victor Newman from the young and the restless. Eric Braden. He actually didn't want to do it but his wife and son talked him into it.

The reason why this movie is so long is because it is as long as it took for the ship to sink.

They've retold this story several times on the big screen but never in such spectacular fashion. The last time prior to this movie was a film made in the late '50's called "A night to remember". And as a nod to that film, Cameron gave one of the actors who appeared in it a small part in his. His name was Bernard Fox and he's the old guy at the dinner scene who says "Here, Here" to the toast "To making it count." Or he could be the one who makes the toast, i can't remember for sure. But fans of the '60s TV show"Bewitched" will likely recognize him for the recurring role he had in that sitcom as Dr. Bombay.

Jack wanted to live but he died for rose, Rose wanted to die but she lived for jack❤️

So one of the historically accurate bits that kills me is that the band did play to the very end, by choice (as is reported). I cannot imagine the exact moment that the music finally stopped and didn't begin again...

They did actually consider raising the wreckage of the Titanic in the late 90's, early 00's, but had to decide against it. The wreck had already deteriorated so far that trying to raise it from that intense depth would completely destroy it. It became a deliberate decision to leave it be and make the sites (because the two parts are miles apart) monuments.

JP Morgan (of JP Morgan and Chase) was scheduled to be on the Titanic in the B52-56 suites that Rose's family occupy in the film. But he cancelled his trip last minute and Bruce Ismay stayed in the suite instead. The engine room/boiler room was filmed/based off of the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, which is docked in the San Francisco Bay. They also used the sounds from the Jeremiah's engine room for the movie. You can tour the ship if you ever visit San Francisco. John Jacob Astor was not only the richest man on the ship, but one of the, if not THE, richest man in the world at the time. When Cal flipped over the table at breakfast, that was improvised, so Kate Winslet's reaction was genuine. Titanic isn't just a love story. It's a horror movie.

I watched it for the first time last night and cried so much at the end 😭 Was the first time I've properly cried in 4 years. This movie is a whole different experience.

It's actual footage :) James Cameron took this movie really seriously

One of the best movies, when Rose returns/dies at the end every person you see around her and Jack are characters that died during the sinking.

Nickelodeons were 5 cent movie theaters. Canada had them too.

I watched this as a kid and seeing the baby in the water and the mom tucking her kids into bed really stuck with me and scared me a bit. I’ve read a lot of books about the real titanic and passengers. There’s a lot of heartbreaking and interesting stories there. Shows what humans will do in the midst of tragedy. Really heroic and honorable things and despicable and cowardly things.

5:00 - The language Jack's poker opponents where speaking is Swedish!

The nickelodeon was the first type of indoor exhibition space dedicated to showing projected motion pictures in the United States. Usually set up in converted storefronts, these small, simple theaters charged five cents for admission and flourished from about 1905 to 1915. Not the channel your thinking of!! :)

I worked at Blockbuster when this came out on video..we had to play it in the TVs on repeat every shift for weeks, maybe months..

How you felt when Titanic surpassed Star Wars was the same way I felt when Avatar surpassed Titanic. I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid.

Titanic is one of my absolute favourite movies. I watched it 3 times in the theatre back in 1998 ( I was 14 though and had a crush on Leo) but I have seen it probably more than 20 times since then and I cry every time. I even cried watching your reaction. Truly one of the greatest movies ever made. Glad you liked it. I recommend you watch «The curious case of Benjamin Button» with Brad Pitt, I think you’ll really like that one:)

I used this movie as my trigger to cry if I was feeling sad. It helped me cry, but also was somehow inspirational at the same time. This was one of the first movies I learned how to play the music for on the piano because the music is just amazing.

I love the narrative progression of Rose slowly taking control of her life. She's being dragged everywhere and held back, by everyone, in all aspects short of being physically forced, and she begins to pull back against it all, leading to her spitting Cal in the face when he actually HOLDS her back, and her punching that guy who was literally dragging her down the galley. 🤘

Here are some trivia about the titanic you may find amusing: James cameron is a expert in deep diving and high altitude balooning. He made several dives to the titanic who is about 4800 meters deep under water. They put a plastic cup on the outside of a submarine. The water pressure shrunk the cup to the size of a penny. 15 years before the titanic sunk, a author wrote a book about a unsinkable luxus liner who hit a iceberg and sunk. The name of the ship was titan. The night of the titanics sinking the radio guys used the common CQD emergency call but switched to the new upcomming SOS at that same night. Another ship was actually seeing the rescue rockets but they interpretet it as a party and drove on. There were actually picasso paintings on the ship. The elderly couple in the bed was isidor strauss and his wife. They knew that there was not enough rescue boats so they decided to die together. Right after isidor Strauss had a drink with his buttler. The president of the white star line bruce ismay actually snuck at a life boat but it was reported that he used a blanked to disquise himself as a woman. Molly brown "the unsinkable Molly" actually made her boat to go to rescue survivors. And my favorite fun fact: It was captain E.J.Smiths last travel on a boat. He realized that thousands will die so he actually retreated (not confirmed that it was the bridge) and embraced his death. The pianist of the band who portrayed the band on the Titanic (isalonisti from switzerland) was my cousins neighbour. He told us 2 funny trivia: Calvin (roses rich man) is actually a very humble and funny actor. And while filming the scene with the band playing outside while everyone runs to the back of the ship, one extra stopped at the band and just szarted listening to the band. James cameron had to restart the shoot twice because he had to explaine this extra dude that he is the director of the movie and not the extra dude who wanted to put a sentimental shot of himself listening to the band.

20:10 The earliest surviving plans of Titanic are from 1908 and they depict the ship with only 16 lifeboats while the final design had 20. The law at the time only required ships to carry 16 lifeboats, but it was already outdated by 1912 and Titanic's builders suspected it might be getting changed soon, so they fitted Titanic with a brand new davit design that could handle extra lifeboats in case more needed to be put on. Davits are the things used to lower the lifeboat and on all ships back then they just swung out and lowered the boat, but Titanic's davits could each handle 2 boats. The davits could be swung out, lower a lifeboat, be swung back in to pick up an extra boat and lower that one as well. These extra boats were never fitted as they weren't deemed necessary at the time, practically no ships had enough lifeboats at the time, but if the law demanded more boats Titanic could have easily accommodated them without cluttering the deck.

37. 20. William Murdoch did not kill anyone or himself.... James Cameron (director ) have appologized to Murdochs family. Witnesses from Titanic have said that Murdoch was organized, calm and helpfull on that night Titanic sank......Rest in peace Murdoch and all the others who died on the Titanic 😢❤

It's mostly historically accurate. Rose, her mother, Jack, and Cal are all created for the movie, but many of the side characters were real people. That first class couple staying in bed together as their room flooded were real. They deleted the scene in the final cut, but she turned down the opportunity to get into a boat to stay with her husband. How the ship sank is pretty accurate. The moments with keeping the third class passengers locked behind gates was pumped up. More third class passengers did die than from the other two classes, but they didn't literally try to prevent them from surviving. The stupidity with them not filling the boats all the way did happen. There was so much chaos, and the staff was not trained for an emergency. There not being enough life boats was accurate as well. There actually wasn't a requirement to have enough life boats for everyone until Titanic happened. The idea was that you reuse them as you bring passengers to the rescue ship, but in this case one didn't get there until morning. Something that was dramatized was the actual officer who shot people than himself. That was a bad call, especially since he survived. Cameron said his writing took over with that one. However, how much emphasis was put on how this was supposedly an unsinkable ship was accurate. I'm pretty sure "God himself cannot sink this ship." was an actual headline from somewhere. Also the line about cold water "being like a thousand knives all over your body" I believe was a quote from someone they got out of the water.

Even though I saw this movie first, I was stunned when I visited the docks in Belfast where it was built. The docks are massive, blew my mind. I thought the whole ship fit in there, but there was an old picture of what it had looked like in the dock, and I realised that only the basement fit. So the ship was actually 3-4 times bigger than I'd imagined by seeing the dock, which was already huge. Spent 4 hours in the museum and it wasn't enough time. It's really worth a visit.

"Women and children first" was, and is not, a maritime law. It had only been used a handful of times before Titanic.

Ok wow when he says are you ready to go back they don't mean physically. They mean to relive it in detail lmao

I still remember seeing this in the theater and hearing everyone crying once All the passengers were in the water.

I saw this 3 times here at the movies and again in Germany when we all were Titanic crazy.

I live in the city this ship sailed from when it sank (Southampton), The Titanic is a massive part of our history so it always throws me when people know nothing about it, yes thats real footage of the titanic which they cant bring up because its so degraded they reckon it'll disappear completely not too far in the future.

Little known fact. Although the Titanic did not have enough lifeboats for everybody on board, it did have more than what was required by law at the time. Lifeboat numbers were determined by a ships tonnage at that point not by how many people were on board. However even if the Titanic did have enough boats for everybody on board the ship would have still sank to the point where no one would be able to launch a lifeboat before everyone could be saved anyway. it was already very difficult to launch the last two lifeboats in our reality. So a similar number of people were always going to have died regardless of the lifeboat number.

The ship is historically accurate but the part when the ship splits, it split in the wrong place, is split before the 3rd funnle and the decks under the funnel collapsed and the stern rolled on its side after the split

There are some really great recent documentaries out there on the Titanic. They can’t pull it up bc it’s disintegrating and also it’s essentially a “graveyard”, so to speak. Eventually it will disappear

The coolest thing about this film, is it’s almost ALL shot with miniatures and sets, as well as extras and crowds of people. The VFX team on RU-vid did a great video on this, and it’s astounding how Cameron built miniatures, large scale and sink tanks to film this. Also, the scenes of the full scale titanic in port are filmed with a FULL SCALE half replica of the real ship! A feat to build this behemoth, and a feat to film it.

Great reaction! 😊 I got a little teary-eyed watching this like I had a feeling I would. LOL! One of the thing that I really liked about this movie is that actual footage from the real Titanic wreckage was used. Director James Cameron and actor Bill Paxton(RIP always) went down to the bottom of the ocean to look at and collect the footage. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Billy Zane were all perfectly cast for their roles. And Kathy Bates was fantastic as Molly Brown. 38:15 From the moment the band started playing that last time until the end of the movie it was, and sometimes still is, almost non-stop tears for me. Especially when Jack is in the water talking to Rose. 😭 45:24 I do believe that Rose passed away here. And after doing everything that she and Jack talked about doing, she passed away and was finally reunited with him. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

I love that you comented on her photos at the end. It’s my favourite detail in the film - Rose did all the things she and Jack talked about and more. First movie reaction of Titanic to mention this. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Here's some history about the Titanic that was used in the film version. 1. There was actually no class divide for the life boats. It was more of a first come first serve basis. It should be noted that the captain said "Women & children FIRST.' not "Women & children ONLY." That was a misinterpretation by one of the sailors. 2. Many of the supporting characters in the film were real people onboard the ship. Mr. Andrews who designed the ship really did stay behind in the louge room with the clock. He felt either guilt or shock and refused to leave. Mr. Ismay, the man who wanted to make the headlines was hated and blamed by the survivors and their families for the rest of his life. It was even immortalized through a song. Look it up on RU-vid and you will find it. 3. The White Starline Company that made the ship went bacnkrupt after the indicent. The press also didn't help the company or its surviors. Newspapers had headlines like "Everyone Surived the Sinking" or "All Perished Onboard." All this rampent speculation had the families of the surviors in a panic. Hoping that their loved ones were still alive. Much of the speculation was caused by hearsay. Journalists were running wild and swapping misformation be it intentional or not. 4. There is a deleted scene of the elderly couple who chose to remain in their room as the water contnued to flood. The elderly couple is of Isadore and Ida Straus. They were the owners of the Macy's clothing company. They were on vaction / business trip in Europe and were on board the ship to return to the United States. When the ship was sinking Isador begged Ida to get in the lifeboat. Isa however refused to leave her husband behind after 40 years of marriage. Some survivors have said that they saw the couple walk towards the sinking end of the ship arm in arm. 5. The musicians really did continued playing as the ship sank. That scene was pretty much how it happened. 6. There is a baker that is often seen in the background. He was the guy who was throwing chairs overboard so that people could them as floatation devices. He was the head baker of the Titanic and was one of the 6 survivors Rose mentioned. He managed to survive by drinking large amounts of whiskey that kept his body tempature high enough till he was saved. He was also with Jack and Rose during the final part of the sinking. 7. There is a deleted scene of a Chinese passanager being saved post sinking. Like the baker he can be seen in the background from time to time. He was one of the few Asian passanagers who managed to afford a ticket. The other was a Japanese business man who did not survive as he tried to aid people into the life boats. 8. The film does protray Murdock, the guy who accidently shoots Tommy a little dirty. In reality he was a professional and didn't just shoot people left and right even while in a panic. He actually aided people into the boats and died onboard via drowning. Not suicide. 9. The Titanic was originally going to have enough lifeboats for all passangers, but this was changed for astetic reasons. Yes, the Titanic lacked enough boats because it didn't look good on the ship. 10. Many of the crew members were based on where they were from. Many of the higher up members were English, while the lower enders were Irish, Scotish and Welsh. You can tell by the crew members' accents. 11. The movie won numerous awards including how authentic the ship, costumes and footage of the sunken ship. 12. There is a deleted scene where the communications officer tells another ship that was calling to the Titanic to piss off. The scary part was that the other ship was trying to warn of the incoming iceburg. Had the crew member heeded the warning it may have been possible for the ship to avoid it. Or at least stopped from moving had it still hit. There is speculation that the Titanic really could remain afloat and not sink had it only had 1 or 2 compartments hit, but instead it was around 3 to 4. 13. The captain really did remain behind the ship and went into the same room as the film. He didn't want to take up any more space in the lifeboats. 14. There is a black and white film made in 1958 titled "A Night to Remember" which was also about the Titanic. Director James Cameron drew a lot of inspiration from the film. Even recreating scenes directly from it. 15. John Jacob Astor IV was a first class passanger who Rose refers to as "The richest man on the ship." and that is no exaggeration. He had a networth of $87 million in 1912 which adjusting for inflation would be worth around $2.44 billion in 2021. He served in the Spanish-American War as a soldier and a financial backer. 16. Molly Brown the "new money" lady went onto to fight / aid for the survivors and their families in court along with numerous other surviving first class passenagers. She even ran for office before the Women's Right Movement. Although she lost she never lost her firey spirit. Not surprising seeing as how her ancestors supported the Underground Railroad during the American Civil War. It should be noted that she really did stand up to the crew member who refused to aid the people in the ocean.

I’m from Belfast where this ship was built and fun fact my great grandfather worked on the shipyard way back when…you ever come to Belfast you can go to the museum…been there myself its pretty cool…😆😆

This movie truly is a masterpiece for several reasons. Everyone should watch it at least once to appreciate a once in a lifetime film. The directing, the acting, the writing are all just superb. Even the effects have held up fairly well all these years later.

So rule of thumb for the sunken shipwreck footage - when you see two submersibles, it is actually a large (but miniature) scale replica filmed in a smoke filled room - there were only ever two submersibles in real life, so there's no third one to film the other two. It's mostly the real ship, when you see only one, or zero submersibles. God, pardon my long wordy explanation!

So considering inflation, that $20 for saving her life was actually like $600?

This was my first time seeing you watch a video. I loved it. You were so fun to watch and listen to.

Nickelodeons were short silent films that were advertized for the common man to come and view off the streets. They only cost 5 cents for admission, hence the word "nickel" being present in nickelodeon. in the early 1900s and 1910s, moving picture films were considered a marvel for the time and were often just depicting of normal everyday occurrences. For example, there was a nickelodeon of a train coming into a depot and was shot from the perspective of the camera being very close to the edge of the platform. As the train came in, people gasped in horror and tried to duck out of the way because they really thought they could be hit by a train. Often times nickelodeons could last only a few minutes or so depending on the amount of film utilized when filming. The introduction of cinema was in Paris, France, so it makes sense that Jack saw a nickeloedeon while he was in Paris.

They tried to be so historically accurate with the ship itself that the filming led to state of the art research at the time. One of the only inaccuracies on the ship itself is the windows they show in the brief flash back at the beginning show no glass but they did have glass. They just hadn't found evidence of it in blueprints or excavations at the time.

A nickelodeon was one of the original indoor screenings of movies before what we come to know as movie theaters, when moving pictures was still new, and mainly they were to show "peep shows".

A Nickelodeon is the first version of movie theater. Yes the guy who played John Jacob Astor is the man from Young and the Restless. Survivors testified that they heard the band playing as the boat went down. The couple that are lying in bed as the ship sinks were Rosealie Ida and Isidor Straus (He was a co-owner of Macy's Department Store). She was going onto a rescue boat, but couldn't leave without her husband, so they returned to their cabin to die together. When Jack and Rose are at the back of the boat holding on, you see a man with a life vest drinking, he was a Baker on Titanic, that evening he was in his room drinking, when the ice berg happened, he went to help load people on the boat. When he realized all the boats were gone, he returned back to his room and drank preparing to die. Well he ended up being part of the few that was saved from the water, he lived. There was a book written called The Wreck of the Titan in 1898. It is about a ship that hit an ice berg in the month of April in the North Atlantic, there were not enough life boats for everyone. Titanic sank in April of 1912. Very odd. I can go on and on, but I'll stop! Yes the movie is based off truth, with a few fictional characters to help tell the story of what happened on Titanic. (Rose, and her family, Jack and his friends)

Two movies men never expect to love, 'Titanic' and 'Dirty Dancing'.

This is my mom's absolute favorite guilty-pleasure movie. Every time she sees that it's playing on TV, no matter how long it's been on, she has to watch it. I remember her having the VHS copy of the movie and it had to be split between two tapes. I just remember loathing this movie as a kid, thinking it was just a boring romance movie. Always hated romance movies. I knew the Titanic was real, of course, but I couldn't sit through the first ten minutes of the movie without getting bored. I was 2 going on 3 when it came out, can you blame me? Now that I'm older and I've done more research about the real tragedy, I can appreciate the movie. I believe the run time of the movie is exactly how long the ship took to sink, if I'm not mistaken. Cameron made everything outside the Jack x Rose story as historically accurate as possible. He even went so far as to change the stars in the sky to be period-accurate after someone critiqued them during one of the test screenings. He also cast actors on the shorter side so they would be to-scale with the sets (which were massive for the time, he went over budget several times so the sets would be spot-on accurate). The family of one of the musicians actually received a bill from the employer for the uniform that was lost. If that doesn't make your blood boil, I don't know what will. One of the survivors of the Titanic lived near a baseball (I think, I'm not good with sports) stadium. He never took his kids or grandkids to a game because the cheering of the crowd sounded so much like the screaming of the people in the water that night. There was a book written by Morgan Robertson in 1898 called Futility, which was revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912. It features a fictional British ocean liner, Titan, that sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The book was written 14 years before the sinking of the Titanic, before the plans had even been drawn for the ship. And yet both ships were hit on the starboard bow at around midnight, both sank in the North Atlantic exactly 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland, both had a severe lack of lifeboats (the Titan held 24 while Titanic carried just 20), both had a triple screw propeller. The list of similarities goes on and on. The author was accused several times of being clairvoyant.

When this was in theaters (I think) I was in the hospital having surgery and one of the nurses had some sort of connections and she had this on VHS and I watched it SO MANY TIMES I’m sure I wore it out lol

You done a brilliant review with a sense of humour and respect for the sad parts. I seen Titanic back in 1997 at the cinema, the special effects and CGI were incredible for that era. A film ahead of it's time. It is a frictional love story but it works perfectly because where it's at. The Titanic.

That is the actual ship at beginning of ship, the drawing are James Cameron (the person who did film) drawings, his wife plays granddaughter and James has been to titanic numerous times he is fascinated with history of it. It’s my fave film of all time but I went to titanic exhibition in vegas and saw actual shoes, books, clothes and loads of stuff…there was a side of ship it took 2 years to get from bottom of ocean. It was awesome to be able see that. It got me into history of it, I sat on a bench in exhibition and saw felt how cold it was. It was so dark. You see rooms of first class to lower deck. It’s amazing.

The love story is made up, but everything else is pretty accurate. The most debated part however is the portrail of William Murdoch (the first officer, who shot himself). It's never been verified that he actually shot himself, and definitely not because he killed someone. His living relatives were very upset by how James Cameron decided to portrail him, and I can understand that. He's long gone and can't defend himself...

They have an actual Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee where you receive a ticket of a person who was on the actual ship. At the end of the tour you find out about that person on whether they survived or died on the ship! Definitely worth checking out!!

No one ever gives Fabrizio enough credit he wasn’t even on the life boat and was cutting the ropes for others.

Yeah the scene where the mom is reading to her children no matter how many times I've seen it still makes me cry.

In the US, it's common to refer to an old-timey jukebox or player piano (or any music machine that operates with a coin or token) as a nickelodeon, although the original meaning was a movie theater or a cinema that cost five cents.

Man that first glimpse of the iceberg in the cold darkness always gets to me - as well as the scene where the shoot the flare up and it pans out to absolute nothingness. The romance part is incredibly well done but this truly is a horror film - class warfare right to the very end- brutal.

The sinking of the Titanic is one the worst combinations of effects ever seen. The liner (like most others) traveled in a sea lane. Normally you could see the liner in front of you and the one behind. They were in a bad spot with the nearest four hours away. Accelerating thru ice fields was standard practice. The theory was to spend as little time with the icebergs as you could. Lifeboats were viewed as ferries from the strickened ship to a rescue ship. Titanic have more than enough according the the standard. If Titanic had struck the iceberg head-on, most engineers agree that it would have been damaged but still afloat. The compartment bulkheads were reduced in height to allow easier traffic for the passengers. This happened during a transitional phase were SOS was newly introduced. Most ships didn’t have their radios on 24/7. The fireworks shown were attempts by the crew to call for help yet, because of the calm weather, their lights would have disappeared in the night sky. This tragedy shocked the world and the US, Canada and Europe started to write and enforce many new rules.

The movie is pretty accurate overall and we actually learned some things from it. For example when they were filming the staircase flooding, the set actually became unbolted and lifted off of the floor and now its commonly accepted that that's what happened to the actual staircase rather than it just rotting away in place. One major mistake/misconception about the ship because of this movie is the idea of the gates separating classes and 3rd class passengers being intentionally locked below. Those gates did exist but they separated crew areas like storage areas. Classes were generally separated by a normal locked door. Third class passengers were kept below decks and then weren't given any instructions on how to get to the boat deck which is what caused a lot of deaths

To break the ice before the drawing scene, Kate had the makeup team open the doors to her room as Leo was walking by... with her being "ready" for the scene. James Cameron also made sure there was only a small crew in the room for the drawing scene, to help relax Leo and Kate's nerves, especially since it was their first main scene together.

A nickelodeon was a device people would look into to see little films - well a series of pictures that were flashed in sequence to create moving images. So-called because they would charge a nickel a viewing. The word nickelodeon was in use 100 years before the kid's channel, Nickelodeon, came into being.

If you noticed, Rose was holding Jack's hand the entire time while she was resting on the door. That's why she thought he was still alive not knowing he already died with his last breath still holding onto her. Plus the fact that she's freezing, exhausted, traumatized and it's about 2:30 am in the pitch black Atlantic ocean, it was all too overbearing physically and mentally she couldn't think straight anymore and the thought of Jack dying from the water flew over her head.

I know that when Jack was drawing Rose, that was James Camerons hands doing the drawing.

Love the shirt! I'm glad you decided to give the movie a chance. I feel like people put it off for various reasons and are often surprised that it's actually good. The character played by Kathy Bates, Margaret "Molly" Brown, was a real person (like many other characters) and I was able to visit her home in Denver which became a museum about her life. It was amazing. 💕 One thing I wish they kept in the movie was the side story of Jack's friend Fabrizio falling in love with a girl from Norway named Helga. She's the woman Rose makes eye contact with when they're hanging onto the ship at the end. Also the girl Fabrizio dances with at the party. You can still find the deleted scenes of them.

Thanks to genetic testing, they recently recovered the name of a baby that was found dead floating on the water after it went down. He had joined others in a memorial grave in Canada. He now is known ;-)

1. Yes, that actor WAS on Young & The Restless lol. 2. A 'Nikelodeon' is what movie screenings were called in the very early days, because they used to charge a nickel to see them. (I was 8 when this movie came out, and that line THOROUGHLY confused me 😂)

Great reaction! The history of the Titanic is disturbing. When you read about everything leading up to the crash, the chaos going on and even the SS Californian being somewhat within sight of the sinking ship according to some sources - all scary stuff. Just can’t imagine the terror of being there while it happened.
