It makes you think how unimportant her husband, children and granddaughter meant to her. She was completely emotionally unavailable to her husband because she lived for Jack. Her poor husband waiting for her, and she prefers to go to Jack instead.
I met Lewis Abernathy, the one that was Brock's sidekick in the movie. He's the one who came up with the last scene and Cameron loved it. Lewis, Bill Paxton and James Cameron were best friends from their prior projects.
@OcGurl81 James Cameron did all the storyboards and animators and sent them to Digital Foundry and ILM for them to translate into movie sets and digital effects. He did more than just write and direct the actors. He went down to the Titanic and sent the movie to 20th Century Fox to pitch the movie for funding.
I was always confused by that because around 1950 Teresa Brewer had a hit song called "Music music music" on an album my parents had. The main line goes "put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon. All I want is loving you and Music music music". Makes it sound like a jukebox like thing. Maybe the writer of the song fudged the definition of a nickelodeon to fit that line of the song, or was just clueless?
Titanic is the greatest movie-going experience of my life. I saw the movie 15 times in 1997-1998. I cried like a baby every time. Titanic was even more spectacular in IMAX 3D. Titanic belongs alongside Gone With The Wind and Casablanca. It is one of the greatest, most timeless romantic epics in film history. Titanic won 11 Oscars out of 14 nominations. The movie deserved every award and maybe more. I think Leo was snubbed of a Best Actor nomination. I also think Titanic was snubbed of a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
I really wish they would’ve kept a deleted scene in, where she talks about why she didn’t sell it. The diamond. “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.” She knew that if she went and sold the diamond, she wouldn’t be making it on her own. She would be relying on him to have helped her. Even if indirectly. And she didn’t want that. She came out to the Atlantic, not to necessarily tell her story, but to put the diamond back where it belonged.
@@rowenatulley852 at the beginning of the movie they mentioned that the diamond was insured, which meant that if she had sold it, Cal would’ve been alerted to it, and would’ve known where she was.
As the Captain you aren't supposed to leave the ship until the last soul is accounted for, and in this situation that wasn't going to be possible, so he accepted his fate(and went down with the ship).
I heard the real captain smith ended up in the water along with Thomas Andrews they didn’t go down with the ship like was first thought no one knows for sure what happened with captain smith and Thomas Andrews to be fair
Another account from a steward stated the captain and Thomas Andrews were last seen at the port side of the bridge jumping into the water when the final plunge began.
@@rachaelhogan7850 I don't think you intended it to sound this way, but I just wanted to say that this is not a substantive difference in this case; they did not attempt to board lifeboats, and they both did what they could to facilitate the evacuation until the lifeboats were gone and the water reached them (which effectively happened at the same time). They might have occasionally succumbed to numbed shock and despair at times, but they died with honor at worst, and as heroes at best. But yeah, even the original source for that story regarding Andrews never said it was his last sighting, he was seen multiple times after his encounter with the steward in the smoke room (which might have jolted him out of a moment when the shock and despair caught up with him).
The film flows so smoothly that many don't realize that what they're watching is a recreation of an actual survivor's account. I like to take recordings from actual survivors and overlay then with the film so that people can see for themselves.
The last song that the band played was a hymn, "Nearer, My God, To Thee". That makes that scene so much stronger. He's playing the song because he knows he's probably going to die.
A nickelodeon, before it was a cable channel, was an early type of theater that played a short moving picture in the early 1900s. It cost a nickel, which was why it was called that. 🙂
The band playing was a real thing. The only discrepancy is the song that was played last. Some survivors said they heard a few different songs. James Cameron chose to show them playing Nearer my God to Thee. Wallace Hartley was the band leader and was found 3 days later by the crew of the CS Mackay Bennet, which was dispatched from Nova Scotia to retrieve the bodies. He was found with his violin strapped to his back. He was returned to England and had a burial.
The last song "Nearer My God To Thee" was also the last song played on the original 1958 Titanic movie "A Night To Remember". That is probably why Cameron chose it.
This film was indeed a love story, but it was also a story of the tragic loss of the Titanic and hundreds of lives. The film doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both.
@@rivercitymud Because of the Titanic movie, I found a new genere of Historical Non-fiction/Fantasy. The history is accurate, but the characters are made up. Ken Follett is one of those writers, and they made a movie series of his books. Eddie Redmayne acts in it. Something to try if it interests ya.
The love story is carefully crafted to show the audience what's going on in every part of the ship at every stage of the sinking. The framing story with Old Rose also shows you exactly how the ship sank, so that when you see it sink later in the movie, you understand what's happening.
A Night to Remember was a very big hit in England. The only thing that kept it from being a bigger hit in the states was because all the characters were played by British people except for a few like Molly Brown. And it's not boring. And it's a part of the Criterion Collection. And it's still highly regarded by historians even after this Titanic. There are a lot of facts Cameron left out about that night. All of the communication between Titanic and the Carpathia. As well as the non-communication between the Titanic and the Californian. A Night To Remember addresses that, which adds to more suspense. Cameron decided to forego all that to dwell on the fictitious Rose and Jack love story.
There is a book called "Futility" written by Morgan Robertson, published in 1898. It's about a ship called the Titan, in the book the ship is considered unsinkable. It was also on the grand scale of the Titanic in luxury, size and speed. It sank in April after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean and didn't have enough lifeboats. 14 years after the book came out the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean and didn't have enough lifeboats. Quite a spooky coincident.
It's not really a coincidence at all. Robertson HEAVILY edited the book after the Titanic sank to add those similarities into the story, as they were never there before. He added the name of the ship, the lack of lifeboats, the fanfare, the speed, and the sinking in April all after the Titanic had sank. The original, unedited story barely describes the ship (the name isn't even mentioned), and no version of the book really describes the sinking - the ship hits an iceberg and has its entire top deck ripped off and sinks in like 3 minutes, so there's no time for anybody to really escape. Only a handful of people make it, two of whom are a sailor tripping balls on weed tea and the toddler daughter of his ex-wife, who he must now protect bare-handed from a polar bear on the iceberg the ship had hit. Robertson capitalized on the Titanic disaster and added all those "coincidences" to sell more copies
@@pc_buildyb0i935 This version of events sounds entirely plausible, but what's the source of your information that Robertson revised his novel to add the "coimcidental" details after the sinking of the Titanic? I haven't seen this claim elsewhere.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 It's not a claim, there are literally different published editions of the book. You can find them online, I downloaded a PDF of the original copy. It's also noted on other sources as well, including History on the Net and the Wikipedia page on the novel. The original book is about a lone surviving sailor trying to save a toddler on an iceberg by fighting a polar bear bare-handed while tripping on weed tea. You can literally get a copy of the PDF and read it yourself if you don't believe me.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 You'll have to look it up (it's on Wiki). I've posted the links in my replies like 3 times now but UA-cam won't stop deleting my comments
@@pc_buildyb0i935 The Wikipedia and History on the Net sources you mention reference changes Robertson made between the original 1898 edition and the 1912 reissue, but they appear to me to be saying that he changed only a couple of stats about the ship, and added an epilogue irrelevant to our discussion. If these sources are accurate, most of the similarities between the Titan and the Titanic were already present in the 1898 text (though, as you suggest, there are also significant differences in how the ships sank, and the story told in *Futility* is primarily concerned with other matters). I don't have leisure at the moment to examine the pdfs of the novel's two editions, but I invite others to do so if they're curious, and to report back to us what you discover if you are so inclined. Thanks, in any case, for the sources.
The best part about this movie is how many actual people they slip into the story. For example - the man on the back of the rails with Jack & Rose, drinking from a flask as the ship sinks. He was the ships baker who could have gotten on a lifeboat, but he let his younger staff go. He decided since he was going to die anyways...might as well get as drunk as he could! He drank a bunch of the alcohol in his room before it began to flood. It is thought he was the last person off the ship because he really did hang on to the railing. Somehow, he survived. And the priest. He was there with his sister and daughter. He also passed up an opportunity to get on a lifeboat because, as he told his sister, he felt he should try to save as many souls as possible since he knew most people were going to die. He was seen asking one man if he wanted to be saved, when he said no, he took off his life jacket, gave it to the man and said, "You need this more than I do." There are just endless examples of these people sprinkled in.
I think the life jacket story might have involved a preacher instead, but I could be mixing it up with a similar story; I believe there were three or four men of the cloth who stayed behind to save souls and comfort the doomed passengers, at least one of which was the priest in question.
Sad thing is this film, accurate as it is perpetuates some terrible lies about that night: 1)3rd class were not locked below decks, but few got out because in 1910 there wasn't even the idea of an 'evacuation plan', the ship was a labyrinth and most 3rd class made their way down the central corridor called 'Scotland Row' to the stern of the ship and became trapped. There were stewards who found people lost and guided them up to the boats, but it was chaos. 2)J Bruce Ismay wasn't the villain, he never ordered the ship to speed or sail into the ice, didn't cut corners on the lifeboats (titanic carried more than required by law), stayed on the ship to help evacuate passengers and only got of at the last moment when there was space on the port side, he was smeared in the American press because he'd annoyed W.R.Hirst prior and was painted as a moustache twirling pantomime villain. 3) First officer Murdock didn't kill people and didn't kill himself, his descendants are very unhappy with this portrayal as he was last seen trying to launch a collapsable boat hip deep in water. 4) 'Women and Children first': Murdock on the starboard side took it to mean load the boats with women and children FIRST and if there was space left fill it with men. Second officer Lightholler on the port side took it to mean women and children ONLY which is why those boats were launched half empty.
“You jump. I jump. Right?” Oooooof that one got me in my gut. Everything that happened when the ship sank had me on edge and made me sob for the lost lives and for their romance. He saved her so she could live. 😭💔
This movie came out when I was in Grade 11 and studying modern western history. I remember our teacher saying the sinking of the Titanic was seen as a harbinger for the end of (then) class division because it showed both rich and famous dying in the same circumstance as the poor, and how something the rich built and was super fancy could sink like anything else. WW1 was 2 years later and that changed the whole social structure for good.
that is just bs, oh poor were treated like shit on titanic, its the same thing today, u go pay 2nd class ticket on an airbus and try to go to first class mate.
@@jamworthy14 What I am saying is that the 3rd Class was never locked below. That's not true. Was society disgustingly classist back then? Yeah, of course. But passengers were never locked below, that is an outright lie A modern plane experience has NOTHING to do with Titanic, that is false equivalency.
@@jamworthy14 The steerage passengers were not treated like shit. Yes they had basic immensities, but they were not mistreated. Take a look at the menu for the steerage, it was probably more than you could eat. The big ocean liners at the time made most of their money from steerage. Due to everyone going to the U.S. to seek their fortune. Also the steerage passengers were not locked in when the ship was sinking. That was fabricated, there were ropes. And they had their own boat decks. The first people playing with the chucks of the iceberg that fell on the ship were steerage passengers. One of the reasons why many more female steerage passengers died was because of the women and children first mandate. Steerage women were afraid to get on a lifeboat without their men because they would be alone in New York with nothing. How would they survive? They could never have known there would be charity funds set up to help survivors. And that did happen immediately. Some steerage women did survive though. The Carpathia was nicknamed "The Ship of Widows".
Some parts of the film are true to real life events on the Titanic. For example, there were boat musicians who played as the Titanic went down - and did stay until the end. They played the music so people would not panic as much. There were also some very famous paintings that went down with Titanic. And the different classes and how the obvious luxury of the upper classes as juxtaposed to the poor. Part of the story for me was the contrast of the "Love of Money" vs. "Love of the Heart". You see Rose in the end didn't even care about how much the Diamond was worth - to her the money didn't matter one bit - it was the memories of Jack and her love for him that mattered. Why she threw it back into the ocean. And we see Love vs Money as one of the strong themes of the film - what really matters in life - especially given metaphorically - we all are on the Titanic as passengers. A beautiful touch to the film as well, was when Rose passes, she does go back to the Titanic and to a young Jack. Maybe the heart does go on?
Rose could have donated the diamond to help cancer research or cat shelter. But delusional old hag just wasted it for some misplaced sentimental beliefs.
This is one of my favorite films of all time!! It’s a major shock that Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t even get nominated for this film at the Oscars. It’s well written and directed, the performances were incredible, the music and effects are spectacular, and it deserved all the Oscars it won!
It's not shock at all... Di caprio is extremely overrated. His main talent is a cute face. He should have been advertising underwear, that's his career ceiling.

@@azazello1784 Go and watch Gilbert Grape and Basketball diaries and tell us He's not an S class actor. Even Robert DeNiro and Scorsesse (plus movie critics) commend his acting but WHAT DO THEY KNOW as experts right?
In Nickelodeon is a theater. This is what the children’s TV channel was named after. You used to pay a nickel to go see a movie. That’s why it’s called a Nickelodeon.
and one of the three movies out of which I walked: the other two being The Road to Wellville and Pretty Woman. Road was just terrible & I couldn't see anyone paying for sex with a horse faced woman. As far as titanic goes I later rented to watch the sinking, fast forwarding through that insipid treacly story as necessary.
The film also makes a few references to some of Titanic's real passengers and crew. The man whose coat Jack "borrowed", there's a recorded reference of a man on-board with the same name who had his coat stolen. All the dogs shown in the film are all dogs that are included in a record of how many dogs were onboard and what breeds they were. All of which survived, as they were allowed into the lifeboats with their owners, or passed by their owners to somebody in a lifeboat to survive, if they couldn't get onto one themselves. Another is that 3 brothers jumped from the ship just as the last half was about to go under - 2 landed straight in the water, and only 1 survived. The 3rd brother jumped and hit a propeller and amazingly survived. But my favourite reference of the lot is the chef (the man that Rose looks to at 30:24). Not only was he recorded as the very last person to leave Titanic (which they showed in the film), he actually saved many lives including his own by throwing overboard tables, chairs, doors, anything that would float, from out of the dining rooms and kitchens. Plus, he did all of that while drunk, which made him feel warm while he waited to be rescued.
Charles Joughin cheif baker. Survived 2 hours in the water and did not suffer from hypothermia. He was rescued by the overturned collapsible lifeboat. The only thing that happened to him physically was swollen feet. He said himself that the ship did not suck anyone down and it gently disappeared from under him. His chest and head never went under the water. This may have contributed to his amazing survival , that and being drunk AF. Scientists can't explain his survival to this day.
Just FYI, in case you're ever in a similar situation: alcohol doesn't make you warm, it actually lowers your body temperature, so you only feel warmer. It's mostly very dangerous to drink in extreme cold temperatures, but there are certain rare Goldilocks-zone types of circumstances in which it can help.
@@rivercitymud Yeah, the alcohol might have helped him to avoid feeling the effects of shock, but it wouldn't have kept him warm. Also, while the ship didn't suck him down for some reason, it did suck others down (at least one of which survived). He also sent bread to the lifeboats on his own initiative.
A friend of mine, Chuck Weiss, served as on set video playback for this film (it's basically running the footage back and forth for the director etc. to look over as they have shot a scene/set-up for feedback) and said at one point he nearly drowned on set (he was carrying heavy equipment in the water and it weighed him down; Cameron luckily saw his plight and literally pulled him up out and saved his life). And yes one of the best romantic historical dramas ever. Try to see it in IMAX
Not until watching a Titanic reaction video for the umpteenth times did I notice something interesting about the portion of the movie when the ship is sinking. People who survived on the back end of the ship after it had broken in two (like Jack and Rose) faced a lose lose situation. They could either get sucked down into the ocean with the ship as it sank or they could kick and fight against the drag of the ship so they could reach the surface. But to kick and fight to survive the sinking meant you were using even more precious energy. Many people would be tired out by just resisting the pull of the ship as it sank to the sea floor. So once they made it to the surface they would be more likely to be exhausted...and then they would likely more quickly die of hypothermia. Hypothermia in cold water near the freezing point really is a horrid way to die. To kick and swim and thereby burn energy to stay warm just burns up whatever energy you have faster than if you stay still and float. So to stay warm is exhausting and brings on death faster. But floating in the stillness of that icy cold night would be its own form of torment. To stay still on the water's surface and not try to keep warm would probably feel like being stabbed to death. Such bitterly cold water would quickly reduce the temperature of vital organs and easily lead to organ failure and death.
Oddly enough, the head baker actually survived the sinking by "going down" with the ship on the very end of the stern. He's the guy you see "stand up" at the very end as the ship goes under. He said he wasn't even pulled under. Of course, he was probably drunk or very tipsy at the time. But he survived in the water until he was rescued. Also, from what I've read, the ones who ended up in the water alive only lasted between 15 and 30 minutes anyway before they died. So most of them that ended up in the water didn't drown, they succumbed to hypothermia in less than half an hour. But one of the more interesting, and fascinating survivor accounts is the survivors who *stood* on a capsized lifeboat for hours until they were rescued. And the radio operator (I believe it was Harold Bride) who got trapped under that same boat, got caught in an air pocket, and actually felt Titanic sink from under him. He swam out from under the life boat, and climbed on top. He was one of the ones who stood there for hours until they were rescued.
😂 guys a Nikolodian was a metal box. With a film strip and a light bulb. It had a place to put your eye and a slot to drop a nickel in then turn it hand crank to watch a short silent movie.😊
Seeing Marion say "game over" when Bill Paxton is on the screen is always a thrill. I've been watching this channel from the beginning and when y'all finally watched Aliens and saw him say "Game over man, game over!" I launched into outer space.
The ones that were in the little boats survived. They along with the - i think 6 - lived. They were the ones on the ship when rose gave her new name. Of course the rich got rooms to stay warm - the poor were out on the main level with only blankets
White Star Line requested to have their lifeboats returned in New York, so before arriving to Pier 54 to unload the survivors, Carpathia dropped the boats off to Pier 59. That frustrated some of the survivors.
Wallace Hartley, the violinist who led the band, as in the movie, was joined by his bandmates and went down with the ship. Hartley's body was recovered and identified. He was buried in Colne, England and there were 30,000 people who attended the procession.
That was lifeboat 6. Margaret Tobin Brown, who actually went by Maggie, not Molly. Molly came as a mix-up after her death, and from The Unsinkable Molly Brown stage play and movie, she is known as Molly. She didn't marry into money, but her husband did strike it rich in Denver with mining shortly after they were married. Despite the depiction, Margaret was fluent in multiple languages and was a part of the social scene. She traveled with John Jacob Astor and his new wife, Madeleine. Astor was under a lot of controversy after leaving his wife and marrying a much younger woman who was having his child. Margaret supported Astor, and they were great friends. Margaret was en route to Denver to visit her ailing grandson. She was legally separated at the time. Although she never divorced or was romantically involved with anyone else, she was very independent. She wanted to travel, while her husband was a home body. Travel, she did bringing back items from her travels. She ran for Senate twice, fought for women's suffrage, and started a charity that aided displaced families and widows from the disaster. I had the pleasure of meeting her great-granddaughter, Helen Benziger, who spoke about her.
What made this water so dangerous was how cold it was. If the water had been a doable temperature still would have had tragedy but all the people that froze to death that would not have happened it just would have been a longer rescue process
I recently saw a cartoon drawing that imagined if the sinking of Titanic occurred in the present day, then all those people in the water would be holding up their iPhones filming the sinking as it occurred. Much like how everyone today films what ever tragedy is going on right at the moment even despite of it leading to their own demise.
what i Love about the movie Titanic is it gives a Human Perspective of the sinking it isnt just about the ship sinking its a human perspective of the ship sinking.
In the last scene you are correct, everyone in the scene is who died on the ship but the last person in view is the captain. This is because the captain is always the last to go down with the ship. James Cameron is a genius
Both Jack and Rose were fictional characters and they were used as some sort of "guides" to show us the experience of being on Titanic, James Cameron has a lot of respect for Titanic and its passengers, that's why he wouldn't have used real people as main characters. The scenes with the wreck under the water are actually taken by him before the movie started filming, this movie was made with great love and respect and it shows, it's top notch cinematography, a masterpiece.
My take on the ending is that Rose is dreaming, but she’s also dying in her sleep. To her conscious mind even if it’s just a dream IT FEELS real. So even if it’s not physically real - what matters is that her last moments her consciousness experiences is one of finding the love and peace she needed. To me, that’s I think all we can hope for at the very least at the end of life. Even if there is no actual afterlife may we all experience what she gets - that we all can go to sleep peacefully and our last dream feel as real as real life except it’s something we can only dream of - our perfect happy ending. Great reaction!
yes exactly when i was young i always thought of jack and rose love story but when i watched it as an adult i see it so differently, the fear they must of felt to know theyll be stranded in the middle of the ocean, and the survivors in the boats, not knowing how long theyll be before help comes and to have see everything from the lifeboats knowing they cant do anything but sit there
Fun fact: Titanic wasn't a cruise ship, but an oceanliner. The concept of a cruise ship was decades later. Oceanliners were built differently to handle crossings across the treacherous ocean. Ship travel wasn't seen as pleasure as it was merely the only means for continental travel, either for business or permanent relocation.
A hypothetical question, do you think that Cal would adopt and raise the little girl that he grabbed to get in the lifeboat? Or would he abandon her as soon as he reached land?
We already know he abandoned her. There's a scene where the lifeboat actually flips on its side, and even though most occupants manage to stay on it, they get submerged in the water, even the little girl. Cal helps none of them. And once he's on the Carpathia, he just walks away. He only used her to get a spot in the lifeboat.
This was beautiful movie one of james Cameron best movie of all time, everytime i watch this movie the ending gets me each time its a tearjerker just like the movie the color purple
In reality no one was locked below deck regardless of class but many 3rd class passengers couldn't find their way to the boat deck due to language barriers
A bit of trivia: the actress who played the Irish woman with her two small children is the same character actress who played Vasquez in the movie Aliens.
Little known fact... At the moment the ship sank below the water, it made a strange sound. Survivors claimed that it sounded like the words... "Game Over" 😂
This is amazing reaction & this isn't a movie in my top 20 👏👏👏👏 u killed this one 💯 ur a amazing channel thats been through real actual shit obviously!!!! & Both of u have a real good brain on top of both ur heads!!!! God bless u both for these reactions & for both of u understanding way more than most 💯
pretty good movie, I saw it a bunch of times, mostly because of the ship, and it got me interested in its story. But there are major "mistakes" regarding the sinking, some are little mistakes, others are more important. first the ship wasnt speeding, it was at its average speed for a clear weather, also the captain already had altered course on a longer more to the south rout to avoid icebergs, and Icereports from the day of the crash never got to bridge(testified by one of the survivors that handled the radio). Also its a BIG lie that third class passengers were locked below deck, there are accounts of third class survivors, they told that the gates between classes were open, no one stoped them to reach the boats and there are third class passengers that got to the boats thru the main grand staircase ( it conected with the main 3rd class corridor on E deck). Also about not having enough boats. It hat 4 more boats that what the law required and of the 20 boats it had, the last 2 didnt had time to launch them as we see in the movie, if it had more boats they would have been gone with the ship. Not to mention in those days boats were not made to stay in the open sea for long, their porpouse was in case of accident, call for help, and once the help arrived, ferry passengers from one ship to the other. And that conversation of Ismay telling smith to go fast also never happened, one first class lady said it did but it makes no sense, Ismay was deeply involved in the design and construction of the Titanic, and specially he, wanted Titanic to rival the competition in luxury, not speed, thats why Titanic had "old" design engines, a type of engyne that had existed for decades, instead of newer turbine engines like the competition had wich were way more powerful than Titanic's engines. Also boats were half full at first because people didnt want to get in the boats, they felt safer in the ship(boats were dangerous in open sea), and the boat launching had a schedule it toot time to launch a boat so if there were no more passengers around to get on board, they would just launch it.
Fantastic comment! Was looking for this info. Just to add a bit to it, the gates separating each class were also only waist-high but Cameron depicted them floor-to-ceiling. The Titanic maintaining speed is often assumed to be speeding, as you noted that did not happen but there was a very practical reason for maintaining her speed and not speeding up - harbours and their docks operated on strict schedules based on inbound and outgoing ships, and each ship would have a designated crew to help unload passengers, cargo, and goods. So every ship had an assigned team that would meet it at its designated dock/wharf and begin disembarking passengers, unloading cargo and refuelling/resupplying. Each team was given specific equipment to use for its designated ship, so if any one particular ship (say, Titanic) decided to speed and arrive early, it would mess up the entire docking schedule of the harbour - the designated crew might not be present, or working a different ship and the required equipment would almost certainly be unavailable. There's also the question of passenger schedules - 1st class passengers had booked specific trains and bought tickets beforehand to ensure they would be picked up at the appropriate date and time. Finally resources - the ship burned close to 600 tons of coal per day at just her cruising speed of 21 knots. There was a huge labour/coal strike and thus a very difficult coal shortage at that time. Not only was coal much more expensive, it was hard to find and the Titanic would need some 6600 tons of coal for a full refueling, something that New York couldn't always guarantee. There's no way the Captain would risk running low on fuel just to arrive in port one day early. Outside of extraneous circumstances, it was considered very unprofessional and even rude/inconsiderate to arrive outside of schedule since it messed up not only the harbour's schedule but also rich, potentially angry passengers as well. Just another reason the Titanic never sped up.
Thank you. Another important thing about the lifeboats is that they were experimenting on the fly with carrying capacity (they did not know the regular lifeboats were already tested at 60-70 capacity), and it was assumed that lifeboats with room would pick up some passengers from doors on the lower floors that were supposed to be open (they sent eight men down to open the doors, and it is presumed they died while trying to do so).
No a few DID die from Hypothermia if they weren't dressed warmly (and never were in the water) , but I think most of the ones who were pulled from the water after Titanic sank, died from hypothermia since they were wet and were exposed to the cold air, with no warm clothing to cover their wet clothes and bodies. It was about 4 hours or so before the Carpathia arrived to rescue the people in the boats. But yes, the majority of the passengers in the life boats survived, but not ALL.
The number of lifeboats actually did not impact the death toll. Minimum requirements were 16, Titanic carried 20, and the crew didn't even have the time to get all 20 safely off the ship. The last two, Collapsible A and Collapsible B, were almost dragged down before being properly launched and both had to be cut free in waist-deep freezing water. If the ship had carried more life boats, they would have simply gone down with the ship.
I was on a ship in 1999,2000 and 2001 from italy to greece so basically after this movie lol its kind of strange when you are on a ship and you just see the ocean and nothing else
The only reason why I don’t like this movie I love this movie it’s my favorite but it’s cus the wireless operators never got that much attention from the movie and they help a bunch of people that Night and they only get like 2nds I hope they come out with a movie about them so bad❤
Marian it didn’t the front it turned scrapped and punched holes along the side opening up seems popping the rivets keeping the plates together the water started to flood and flow over the front the bulkheads then started spilling over from one to the next to the next from FRONT to eventually the back of ship the ship didn’t hit the iceberg head on it turned scrapped alongside of the iceberg popping open seems and breaking of heads of every river it punctured holes along side of the ship
Jack and Rose were fictional characters. But Rose felt something real for him in the end. She threw the diamond back in the ocean to let go of the past and put it back where the necklace belonged
I’m not into romantic movies to but this is beyond fantastic my favourite movie all time I study the real titanic which was way worse and devastating heartbreaking
Jack Dawson = Orphan, "love" of Rose's life. Rose has the jewel that the salvage team is looking for. She allows them to waste millions looking for it. Then proceeds to toss it in the ocean.😧(worth 350 million USD) The Necklace could have helped thousands of orphans, just like Jack. @@YorkshiremanReacts26

Jack, Rose, Her mother, Cal, Lovejoy, Tommy and Fabrizio were ALL FICTIONAL characters. Every one else mentioned by name (some of the rich passengers, the crew members and Captain Smith, were ALL REAL passengers (played by actors, of course) that were aboard the Titanic. There are MANY documentaries on the Titanic on line and on You Tube, as well as PREVIOUS movies on the Titanic that were made in the '40s and '50s, like "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" and another one with just the title "TITANIC" Both movies are ALSO excellent. They are in black and white, and very well done. There are interviews with some of the survivors who were all very very young, one was a teenager at the time, if I remember. But now, of course they have all passed on now. It's been 112 years since Titanic sank. Because of the Titanic tragedy, there are now enough lifeboats on ships for all crew and passengers, they have regular practices on launching the lifeboats, the shipping lanes were changed, it's a lot safer now. IF the Titanic had just hit the iceberg head on, instead of trying to avoid it, it would NOT have sunk, because the watertight chambers at the front of the ship would have shut and it would have lasted until help came The binoculars were on board but locked up in the place where they were kept. The man who HAD the keys, was NOT on this voyage. He left in a hurry, before it sailed, and FORGOT that HE had the keys. IF they had had the binoculars available, the lookouts would probably have seen it, in time. ALSO, it was a moonless night, the ocean was incredibly STILL, like glass, and as Captain Smith commented, "like a mill pond." There were NO waves that could be SEEN crashing against the iceberg. If the sea had been rougher and a full moon had been out, chances are they would have EASILY SEEN the iceberg (even without the binoculars) in enough time to avoid it. The other thing that went against them was the NEVER DID A REHEARSAL for launching the lifeboats. It was SUPPOSED to have been done that afternoon, on the day she sank, but for some reason they cancelled it. The crew had NO REAL IDEA on HOW to launch them properly. SO since they only had 2 hours, panic set in with the crew as well, as they didn't know the proper launch method, AND they DIDN'T FILL the lifeboats to their capacity. Yes there weren't enough for everyone, but if they had FILLED them to capacity, more would have been saved. Some of the people that were picked up from the water, by some of the lifeboats, still died in the lifeboats from hypothermia. Others that didn't dress warmly for the lifeboats, could also have died from the cold. By the way, the air temperature was 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the water temperature was 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The Carpathia didn't arrive until dawn, so the lifeboats drifted for about 4 to 5 hours. Some of the lifeboats, were damaged, or flipped over. One that had flipped over had several people STANDING on it for all those hours and were rescued. I have read a LOT of books on the TITANIC and watched every documentary I could find. It's VERY interesting (and of course SAD) if you choose to research it more. ALL COULD have been killed/drowned in the life boats IF the sea became very rough, and waves could have sunk or fliipped them over. Except for oars, there were NO survival supplies in the lifeboats.....no food, water, protection against the elements that might have helped them.

To my favorite reactors...thank you. I'm not into romance movies, and when this movie came out I saw it, and I thought it wasn't that great. But watching with you, and hearing your thoughts, makes me think...???...naw, it's still not my favorite movie! But it's much, much better watching with the two of you! You're the best characters this time around! Thanks, and God bless you!
A Nickelodeon was basically a movie theater back then. That's where the TV station took its name from. Joy is right. This is a horror movie, not a romantic movie. Rose was the worst thing that ever happened to Jack because he'd still be alive if he'd never met her. The Jack and Rose storyline was created for the movie, but the majority of the other characters were real people who were on the Titanic. The show Myth Busters tested the door to find out if both Jack and Rose could have balanced on it, because so many fans of the movie were complaining that they both could have gotten on the door and they just didn't try hard enough to get up on it. They they determined that both Jack and Rose would have fit on the door, but their combined weight would have pushed the door down below the waterline far enough so that front half of their bodies would have been underwater, and both of them would have died of hypothermia. The only reason that Rose didn't die was because her body was completely out of the freezing water.
Actually you hould NOT blame ROSE for JACK dying. THE minute he won the poker game and won the tickets to sail on the TITANIC, was BAD LUCK. IF he had never been ABOARD the TITANIC in the first place, THAT would be what saved his life. He STILL could have died on the TITANIC even if he had NEVER MET "Rose" He definitely wouldn't have died if he had never won those tickets, placing him on BOARD.
“Make it count and meet me at the clock.” She lived her life to the fullest and met him at the clock at the end.
I never thought about it that way, sobbinggggg😭
@@tayloryaworski2540 this movie is so beautiful beyond imagination
🥺❤️
It makes you think how unimportant her husband, children and granddaughter meant to her. She was completely emotionally unavailable to her husband because she lived for Jack. Her poor husband waiting for her, and she prefers to go to Jack instead.
When Jack and Rose re-unite at the end the clock shows 2:20, the exact time the Titanic slipped below the waves.
Always Remember Rose wanted to die & Jack wanted to live, Jack died for Rose & Rose lived for Jack.
Man, I've never really thought about it that way. Beautiful.
That gives the film so much more meaning. I never considered before. Cheers

She kept her promise to Jack. She died an old lady...warm in her bed. ❤️
Fun fact: James Cameron is actually the one sketching Rose.
I met Lewis Abernathy, the one that was Brock's sidekick in the movie. He's the one who came up with the last scene and Cameron loved it. Lewis, Bill Paxton and James Cameron were best friends from their prior projects.
Wow! I never knew James Cameron could sketch so well. This movie always chokes me up 😢❤
@OcGurl81 James Cameron did all the storyboards and animators and sent them to Digital Foundry and ILM for them to translate into movie sets and digital effects. He did more than just write and direct the actors. He went down to the Titanic and sent the movie to 20th Century Fox to pitch the movie for funding.
@Chris-vk2zw That's absolutely amazing! I do remember him going down to the actual site of the Titanic wreckage. Learn something new everyday.
Also Leo saying “lay on the bed.. I mean the couch” was a genuine slip by Leo but was so authentic they kept it in the movie!
Nickelodeon was a movie theater with silent films that was a nickel admission fee
Yes, and in the 90's, nobody thought it was Nickelodeon, the television network. (Okay, maybe a few people.)
Yeah, but the popcorn cost $1.00.
@@rivercitymud LOL!
The theater was called "The Odeon" and cost a nickel to get in. Hence the Nickel-Odeon.
I was always confused by that because around 1950 Teresa Brewer had a hit song called "Music music music" on an album my parents had. The main line goes "put another nickel in, in the nickelodeon. All I want is loving you and Music music music". Makes it sound like a jukebox like thing. Maybe the writer of the song fudged the definition of a nickelodeon to fit that line of the song, or was just clueless?
Titanic is the greatest movie-going experience of my life. I saw the movie 15 times in 1997-1998. I cried like a baby every time. Titanic was even more spectacular in IMAX 3D.
Titanic belongs alongside Gone With The Wind and Casablanca. It is one of the greatest, most timeless romantic epics in film history. Titanic won 11 Oscars out of 14 nominations. The movie deserved every award and maybe more. I think Leo was snubbed of a Best Actor nomination. I also think Titanic was snubbed of a Best Original Screenplay nomination.
I really wish they would’ve kept a deleted scene in, where she talks about why she didn’t sell it. The diamond.
“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.”
She knew that if she went and sold the diamond, she wouldn’t be making it on her own. She would be relying on him to have helped her. Even if indirectly.
And she didn’t want that.
She came out to the Atlantic, not to necessarily tell her story, but to put the diamond back where it belonged.
You think she would have sold the diamond to help her family . . .
the alternate ending is by far better than the theatrical imo.
There's an alternate ending? I'll have to look for it . . .@@eliminatehumanitysoon
@@rowenatulley852 at the beginning of the movie they mentioned that the diamond was insured, which meant that if she had sold it, Cal would’ve been alerted to it, and would’ve known where she was.
Insured? I completely missed that - thanks!@@DataIsMyHero
As the Captain you aren't supposed to leave the ship until the last soul is accounted for, and in this situation that wasn't going to be possible, so he accepted his fate(and went down with the ship).
I heard the real captain smith ended up in the water along with Thomas Andrews they didn’t go down with the ship like was first thought no one knows for sure what happened with captain smith and Thomas Andrews to be fair
Another account from a steward stated the captain and Thomas Andrews were last seen at the port side of the bridge jumping into the water when the final plunge began.
@@rachaelhogan7850 I don't think you intended it to sound this way, but I just wanted to say that this is not a substantive difference in this case; they did not attempt to board lifeboats, and they both did what they could to facilitate the evacuation until the lifeboats were gone and the water reached them (which effectively happened at the same time). They might have occasionally succumbed to numbed shock and despair at times, but they died with honor at worst, and as heroes at best.
But yeah, even the original source for that story regarding Andrews never said it was his last sighting, he was seen multiple times after his encounter with the steward in the smoke room (which might have jolted him out of a moment when the shock and despair caught up with him).
The film flows so smoothly that many don't realize that what they're watching is a recreation of an actual survivor's account. I like to take recordings from actual survivors and overlay then with the film so that people can see for themselves.
The clock above the stairs wasn’t finished in time for Titanic, so they fitted a mirror instead.
I can’t believe someone wouldn’t cry about titanic
Not all can show their emotions right away
The last song that the band played was a hymn, "Nearer, My God, To Thee". That makes that scene so much stronger. He's playing the song because he knows he's probably going to die.
A nickelodeon, before it was a cable channel, was an early type of theater that played a short moving picture in the early 1900s. It cost a nickel, which was why it was called that. 🙂
i always wondered about that!
The band playing was a real thing. The only discrepancy is the song that was played last. Some survivors said they heard a few different songs. James Cameron chose to show them playing Nearer my God to Thee.
Wallace Hartley was the band leader and was found 3 days later by the crew of the CS Mackay Bennet, which was dispatched from Nova Scotia to retrieve the bodies. He was found with his violin strapped to his back. He was returned to England and had a burial.
The last song "Nearer My God To Thee" was also the last song played on the original 1958 Titanic movie "A Night To Remember". That is probably why Cameron chose it.
This film was indeed a love story, but it was also a story of the tragic loss of the Titanic and hundreds of lives.
The film doesn't have to be one or the other. It can be both.
This is legit the only movie (that I've seen) where I think the shoehorned love story improved the film, and I usually hate when Hollywood does that.
@@rivercitymud …. Without the love story, it would have been just another disaster film, with audiences knowing the sad ending. It may have bombed.
@@rivercitymud Because of the Titanic movie, I found a new genere of Historical Non-fiction/Fantasy. The history is accurate, but the characters are made up.
Ken Follett is one of those writers, and they made a movie series of his books.
Eddie Redmayne acts in it. Something to try if it interests ya.
The love story is carefully crafted to show the audience what's going on in every part of the ship at every stage of the sinking. The framing story with Old Rose also shows you exactly how the ship sank, so that when you see it sink later in the movie, you understand what's happening.
A Night to Remember was a very big hit in England. The only thing that kept it from being a bigger hit in the states was because all the characters were played by British people except for a few like Molly Brown. And it's not boring.
And it's a part of the Criterion Collection. And it's still highly regarded by historians even after this Titanic.
There are a lot of facts Cameron left out about that night. All of the communication between Titanic and the Carpathia. As well as the non-communication between the Titanic and the Californian. A Night To Remember addresses that, which adds to more suspense. Cameron decided to forego all that to dwell on the fictitious Rose and Jack love story.
There is a book called "Futility" written by Morgan Robertson, published in 1898. It's about a ship called the Titan, in the book the ship is considered unsinkable. It was also on the grand scale of the Titanic in luxury, size and speed. It sank in April after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean and didn't have enough lifeboats. 14 years after the book came out the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean and didn't have enough lifeboats. Quite a spooky coincident.
It's not really a coincidence at all. Robertson HEAVILY edited the book after the Titanic sank to add those similarities into the story, as they were never there before. He added the name of the ship, the lack of lifeboats, the fanfare, the speed, and the sinking in April all after the Titanic had sank.
The original, unedited story barely describes the ship (the name isn't even mentioned), and no version of the book really describes the sinking - the ship hits an iceberg and has its entire top deck ripped off and sinks in like 3 minutes, so there's no time for anybody to really escape. Only a handful of people make it, two of whom are a sailor tripping balls on weed tea and the toddler daughter of his ex-wife, who he must now protect bare-handed from a polar bear on the iceberg the ship had hit.
Robertson capitalized on the Titanic disaster and added all those "coincidences" to sell more copies
@@pc_buildyb0i935 This version of events sounds entirely plausible, but what's the source of your information that Robertson revised his novel to add the "coimcidental" details after the sinking of the Titanic? I haven't seen this claim elsewhere.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 It's not a claim, there are literally different published editions of the book. You can find them online, I downloaded a PDF of the original copy. It's also noted on other sources as well, including History on the Net and the Wikipedia page on the novel.

@@pc_buildyb0i935 The Wikipedia and History on the Net sources you mention reference changes Robertson made between the original 1898 edition and the 1912 reissue, but they appear to me to be saying that he changed only a couple of stats about the ship, and added an epilogue irrelevant to our discussion. If these sources are accurate, most of the similarities between the Titan and the Titanic were already present in the 1898 text (though, as you suggest, there are also significant differences in how the ships sank, and the story told in *Futility* is primarily concerned with other matters). I don't have leisure at the moment to examine the pdfs of the novel's two editions, but I invite others to do so if they're curious, and to report back to us what you discover if you are so inclined. Thanks, in any case, for the sources.
Marian nailed it; love is selfless. It's a verb, ...giving to someone which they need the most & deserve the least.
We all hope to find a love so strong that they would jump back on a sinking ship for us.
The best part about this movie is how many actual people they slip into the story.
For example - the man on the back of the rails with Jack & Rose, drinking from a flask as the ship sinks. He was the ships baker who could have gotten on a lifeboat, but he let his younger staff go. He decided since he was going to die anyways...might as well get as drunk as he could! He drank a bunch of the alcohol in his room before it began to flood. It is thought he was the last person off the ship because he really did hang on to the railing. Somehow, he survived.
And the priest. He was there with his sister and daughter. He also passed up an opportunity to get on a lifeboat because, as he told his sister, he felt he should try to save as many souls as possible since he knew most people were going to die. He was seen asking one man if he wanted to be saved, when he said no, he took off his life jacket, gave it to the man and said, "You need this more than I do."
There are just endless examples of these people sprinkled in.
I think the life jacket story might have involved a preacher instead, but I could be mixing it up with a similar story; I believe there were three or four men of the cloth who stayed behind to save souls and comfort the doomed passengers, at least one of which was the priest in question.
The elderly couple who held each other in bed as the ship sinks were Isidor and Ida Straus, owner of the Macy department store.
Sad thing is this film, accurate as it is perpetuates some terrible lies about that night:
1)3rd class were not locked below decks, but few got out because in 1910 there wasn't even the idea of an 'evacuation plan', the ship was a labyrinth and most 3rd class made their way down the central corridor called 'Scotland Row' to the stern of the ship and became trapped. There were stewards who found people lost and guided them up to the boats, but it was chaos.
2)J Bruce Ismay wasn't the villain, he never ordered the ship to speed or sail into the ice, didn't cut corners on the lifeboats (titanic carried more than required by law), stayed on the ship to help evacuate passengers and only got of at the last moment when there was space on the port side, he was smeared in the American press because he'd annoyed W.R.Hirst prior and was painted as a moustache twirling pantomime villain.
3) First officer Murdock didn't kill people and didn't kill himself, his descendants are very unhappy with this portrayal as he was last seen trying to launch a collapsable boat hip deep in water.
4) 'Women and Children first': Murdock on the starboard side took it to mean load the boats with women and children FIRST and if there was space left fill it with men. Second officer Lightholler on the port side took it to mean women and children ONLY which is why those boats were launched half empty.
LOVED watching _Titanic_ with you.
Thank you so much for sharing your reactions.
Rose: "I'm flying!"
Me: That's not flying, that's standing ...with *STYLE!*
“You jump. I jump. Right?” Oooooof that one got me in my gut. Everything that happened when the ship sank had me on edge and made me sob for the lost lives and for their romance. He saved her so she could live. 😭💔

This movie came out when I was in Grade 11 and studying modern western history. I remember our teacher saying the sinking of the Titanic was seen as a harbinger for the end of (then) class division because it showed both rich and famous dying in the same circumstance as the poor, and how something the rich built and was super fancy could sink like anything else. WW1 was 2 years later and that changed the whole social structure for good.
When news got out about not allowing the third class passengers (aka the poor), the poor in almost every major city rioted.
@@IAMCAVEThat's not really true. The poorer passengers were never kept below like the movie shows.
that is just bs, oh poor were treated like shit on titanic, its the same thing today, u go pay 2nd class ticket on an airbus and try to go to first class mate.
@@jamworthy14 What I am saying is that the 3rd Class was never locked below. That's not true.
Was society disgustingly classist back then? Yeah, of course.
But passengers were never locked below, that is an outright lie
A modern plane experience has NOTHING to do with Titanic, that is false equivalency.
@@jamworthy14 The steerage passengers were not treated like shit. Yes they had basic immensities, but they were not mistreated. Take a look at the menu for the steerage, it was probably more than you could eat.
The big ocean liners at the time made most of their money from steerage. Due to everyone going to the U.S. to seek their fortune.
Also the steerage passengers were not locked in when the ship was sinking. That was fabricated, there were ropes. And they had their own boat decks. The first people playing with the chucks of the iceberg that fell on the ship were steerage passengers.
One of the reasons why many more female steerage passengers died was because of the women and children first mandate. Steerage women were afraid to get on a lifeboat without their men because they would be alone in New York with nothing. How would they survive?
They could never have known there would be charity funds set up to help survivors. And that did happen immediately.
Some steerage women did survive though. The Carpathia was nicknamed "The Ship of Widows".
Some parts of the film are true to real life events on the Titanic. For example, there were boat musicians who played as the Titanic went down - and did stay until the end. They played the music so people would not panic as much. There were also some very famous paintings that went down with Titanic. And the different classes and how the obvious luxury of the upper classes as juxtaposed to the poor. Part of the story for me was the contrast of the "Love of Money" vs. "Love of the Heart". You see Rose in the end didn't even care about how much the Diamond was worth - to her the money didn't matter one bit - it was the memories of Jack and her love for him that mattered. Why she threw it back into the ocean. And we see Love vs Money as one of the strong themes of the film - what really matters in life - especially given metaphorically - we all are on the Titanic as passengers. A beautiful touch to the film as well, was when Rose passes, she does go back to the Titanic and to a young Jack. Maybe the heart does go on?
Rose could have donated the diamond to help cancer research or cat shelter. But delusional old hag just wasted it for some misplaced sentimental beliefs.
This is one of my favorite films of all time!! It’s a major shock that Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t even get nominated for this film at the Oscars. It’s well written and directed, the performances were incredible, the music and effects are spectacular, and it deserved all the Oscars it won!

The film also makes a few references to some of Titanic's real passengers and crew.
The man whose coat Jack "borrowed", there's a recorded reference of a man on-board with the same name who had his coat stolen. All the dogs shown in the film are all dogs that are included in a record of how many dogs were onboard and what breeds they were. All of which survived, as they were allowed into the lifeboats with their owners, or passed by their owners to somebody in a lifeboat to survive, if they couldn't get onto one themselves. Another is that 3 brothers jumped from the ship just as the last half was about to go under - 2 landed straight in the water, and only 1 survived. The 3rd brother jumped and hit a propeller and amazingly survived.
But my favourite reference of the lot is the chef (the man that Rose looks to at 30:24). Not only was he recorded as the very last person to leave Titanic (which they showed in the film), he actually saved many lives including his own by throwing overboard tables, chairs, doors, anything that would float, from out of the dining rooms and kitchens. Plus, he did all of that while drunk, which made him feel warm while he waited to be rescued.
Charles Joughin cheif baker. Survived 2 hours in the water and did not suffer from hypothermia. He was rescued by the overturned collapsible lifeboat.
The only thing that happened to him physically was swollen feet. He said himself that the ship did not suck anyone down and it gently disappeared from under him. His chest and head never went under the water. This may have contributed to his amazing survival , that and being drunk AF.
Scientists can't explain his survival to this day.
Just FYI, in case you're ever in a similar situation: alcohol doesn't make you warm, it actually lowers your body temperature, so you only feel warmer. It's mostly very dangerous to drink in extreme cold temperatures, but there are certain rare Goldilocks-zone types of circumstances in which it can help.
@@rivercitymud Yeah, the alcohol might have helped him to avoid feeling the effects of shock, but it wouldn't have kept him warm. Also, while the ship didn't suck him down for some reason, it did suck others down (at least one of which survived). He also sent bread to the lifeboats on his own initiative.
It was sailing from Southampton in England to France and onto New York.
A friend of mine, Chuck Weiss, served as on set video playback for this film (it's basically running the footage back and forth for the director etc. to look over as they have shot a scene/set-up for feedback) and said at one point he nearly drowned on set (he was carrying heavy equipment in the water and it weighed him down; Cameron luckily saw his plight and literally pulled him up out and saved his life). And yes one of the best romantic historical dramas ever. Try to see it in IMAX
Not until watching a Titanic reaction video for the umpteenth times did I notice something interesting about the portion of the movie when the ship is sinking. People who survived on the back end of the ship after it had broken in two (like Jack and Rose) faced a lose lose situation. They could either get sucked down into the ocean with the ship as it sank or they could kick and fight against the drag of the ship so they could reach the surface. But to kick and fight to survive the sinking meant you were using even more precious energy. Many people would be tired out by just resisting the pull of the ship as it sank to the sea floor. So once they made it to the surface they would be more likely to be exhausted...and then they would likely more quickly die of hypothermia.
Hypothermia in cold water near the freezing point really is a horrid way to die. To kick and swim and thereby burn energy to stay warm just burns up whatever energy you have faster than if you stay still and float. So to stay warm is exhausting and brings on death faster. But floating in the stillness of that icy cold night would be its own form of torment. To stay still on the water's surface and not try to keep warm would probably feel like being stabbed to death. Such bitterly cold water would quickly reduce the temperature of vital organs and easily lead to organ failure and death.
Oddly enough, the head baker actually survived the sinking by "going down" with the ship on the very end of the stern. He's the guy you see "stand up" at the very end as the ship goes under. He said he wasn't even pulled under. Of course, he was probably drunk or very tipsy at the time. But he survived in the water until he was rescued.
Also, from what I've read, the ones who ended up in the water alive only lasted between 15 and 30 minutes anyway before they died. So most of them that ended up in the water didn't drown, they succumbed to hypothermia in less than half an hour.
But one of the more interesting, and fascinating survivor accounts is the survivors who *stood* on a capsized lifeboat for hours until they were rescued. And the radio operator (I believe it was Harold Bride) who got trapped under that same boat, got caught in an air pocket, and actually felt Titanic sink from under him. He swam out from under the life boat, and climbed on top. He was one of the ones who stood there for hours until they were rescued.
It was actually colder than freezing. The water temp was -2°C (28°F).
The ship didn't suck anybody down though
@@pc_buildyb0i935 Yes. You're right. I should have clarified.
😂 guys a Nikolodian was a metal box. With a film strip and a light bulb. It had a place to put your eye and a slot to drop a nickel in then turn it hand crank to watch a short silent movie.😊
Movies are silent
Seeing Marion say "game over" when Bill Paxton is on the screen is always a thrill. I've been watching this channel from the beginning and when y'all finally watched Aliens and saw him say "Game over man, game over!" I launched into outer space.
The ones that were in the little boats survived. They along with the - i think 6 - lived. They were the ones on the ship when rose gave her new name. Of course the rich got rooms to stay warm - the poor were out on the main level with only blankets
White Star Line requested to have their lifeboats returned in New York, so before arriving to Pier 54 to unload the survivors, Carpathia dropped the boats off to Pier 59. That frustrated some of the survivors.
There were 700+ survivors, 14 of whom had been pulled from the water. No idea where the film got the "6" figure
The love story was fictional but the character Rose was designed from an actual passenger & jack was fictional ❤ love yalls reaction
Rose was entirely fictional
Which is funny because there is a real Jack Dawson that worked on the Titanic. I think he was a stoker.
Wallace Hartley, the violinist who led the band, as in the movie, was joined by his bandmates and went down with the ship. Hartley's body was recovered and identified. He was buried in Colne, England and there were 30,000 people who attended the procession.
I think that Marian's favorite phrase is ".....game over...." He says it it about 100 times in every reaction video. LOL
Keeping the spirit of Bill Paxton alive.
He sounds like a Rocky villain whenever he says that
The people in the boats were rescued. Molly Brown was a real person and she was in the boat with Rose’s mother.
That was lifeboat 6. Margaret Tobin Brown, who actually went by Maggie, not Molly. Molly came as a mix-up after her death, and from The Unsinkable Molly Brown stage play and movie, she is known as Molly. She didn't marry into money, but her husband did strike it rich in Denver with mining shortly after they were married. Despite the depiction, Margaret was fluent in multiple languages and was a part of the social scene. She traveled with John Jacob Astor and his new wife, Madeleine. Astor was under a lot of controversy after leaving his wife and marrying a much younger woman who was having his child. Margaret supported Astor, and they were great friends. Margaret was en route to Denver to visit her ailing grandson. She was legally separated at the time. Although she never divorced or was romantically involved with anyone else, she was very independent. She wanted to travel, while her husband was a home body. Travel, she did bringing back items from her travels. She ran for Senate twice, fought for women's suffrage, and started a charity that aided displaced families and widows from the disaster. I had the pleasure of meeting her great-granddaughter, Helen Benziger, who spoke about her.
What made this water so dangerous was how cold it was. If the water had been a doable temperature still would have had tragedy but all the people that froze to death that would not have happened it just would have been a longer rescue process
I recently saw a cartoon drawing that imagined if the sinking of Titanic occurred in the present day, then all those people in the water would be holding up their iPhones filming the sinking as it occurred. Much like how everyone today films what ever tragedy is going on right at the moment even despite of it leading to their own demise.
And what else would they do? Just freeze to death in the water? May as well document it
They say if the Titanic had hit the iceberg head on, that it wouldn't have sunk.
Yes, head on but in reverse…
Less probability
what i Love about the movie Titanic is it gives a Human Perspective of the sinking it isnt just about the ship sinking its a human perspective of the ship sinking.
In the last scene you are correct, everyone in the scene is who died on the ship but the last person in view is the captain. This is because the captain is always the last to go down with the ship. James Cameron is a genius
a lot of the people in the movie were real people from the ship like the band and mr andrews
The only movie I went to the theater to see twice within three days. I feel the chill seeing the clips with your reaction. What a touching movie!
Both Jack and Rose were fictional characters and they were used as some sort of "guides" to show us the experience of being on Titanic, James Cameron has a lot of respect for Titanic and its passengers, that's why he wouldn't have used real people as main characters. The scenes with the wreck under the water are actually taken by him before the movie started filming, this movie was made with great love and respect and it shows, it's top notch cinematography, a masterpiece.
Great movie and a great reaction! Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤
PS I love your shirt lady!! 🥰
To be fair to Cal, a twenty was worth a lot more then than today.
$20 in 1912 would be equal to $643.98 in 2024
Nicolodeon was a slang word for the movie theaters back in the early 1900s
My take on the ending is that Rose is dreaming, but she’s also dying in her sleep. To her conscious mind even if it’s just a dream IT FEELS real. So even if it’s not physically real - what matters is that her last moments her consciousness experiences is one of finding the love and peace she needed. To me, that’s I think all we can hope for at the very least at the end of life. Even if there is no actual afterlife may we all experience what she gets - that we all can go to sleep peacefully and our last dream feel as real as real life except it’s something we can only dream of - our perfect happy ending.
Great reaction!
Jack and Rose and their love for each other was fiction
A little too much fiction in the movie , would be the only criticism . Still loved the movie. My sister didn't like it so much you have to be into it
I love the shirt of Britney ❤
yes exactly when i was young i always thought of jack and rose love story but when i watched it as an adult i see it so differently, the fear they must of felt to know theyll be stranded in the middle of the ocean, and the survivors in the boats, not knowing how long theyll be before help comes and to have see everything from the lifeboats knowing they cant do anything but sit there
I've been on a P&O cruise ship before, it had a small theater inside. They played this movie. 😂😂
Fun fact: Titanic wasn't a cruise ship, but an oceanliner. The concept of a cruise ship was decades later. Oceanliners were built differently to handle crossings across the treacherous ocean. Ship travel wasn't seen as pleasure as it was merely the only means for continental travel, either for business or permanent relocation.
A hypothetical question, do you think that Cal would adopt and raise the little girl that he grabbed to get in the lifeboat? Or would he abandon her as soon as he reached land?
We already know he abandoned her. There's a scene where the lifeboat actually flips on its side, and even though most occupants manage to stay on it, they get submerged in the water, even the little girl. Cal helps none of them. And once he's on the Carpathia, he just walks away. He only used her to get a spot in the lifeboat.
R.i.p Bill Paxton again One of the last movies he enter
This was beautiful movie one of james Cameron best movie of all time, everytime i watch this movie the ending gets me each time its a tearjerker just like the movie the color purple
Your review and comments about this classic and Award winning film were excellent!
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!!😊😊😊
It sailed from Southampton, England
The Irish mum telling her children the legend of Tír na nÓg is wicked depressing, having my head filled with Celtic Mythology my whole childhood
In reality no one was locked below deck regardless of class but many 3rd class passengers couldn't find their way to the boat deck due to language barriers
I love you're reviews! So well done!
Thank you for making the connection that she passes away at the end... so many reactors don't get that part! ❤
A bit of trivia: the actress who played the Irish woman with her two small children is the same character actress who played Vasquez in the movie Aliens.
23:47
Daisy: Such a scaredy-cat like Luigi
Luigi: Hey!
Little known fact...
At the moment the ship sank below the water, it made a strange sound. Survivors claimed that it sounded like the words...
"Game Over"
😂
“Shop?” So titanic was really just a huge floating supermarket? Morrisons or Asda? 🤔
For real!!? 0.o GAME OVER!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is amazing reaction & this isn't a movie in my top 20 👏👏👏👏 u killed this one 💯 ur a amazing channel thats been through real actual shit obviously!!!! & Both of u have a real good brain on top of both ur heads!!!! God bless u both for these reactions & for both of u understanding way more than most 💯
pretty good movie, I saw it a bunch of times, mostly because of the ship, and it got me interested in its story. But there are major "mistakes" regarding the sinking, some are little mistakes, others are more important. first the ship wasnt speeding, it was at its average speed for a clear weather, also the captain already had altered course on a longer more to the south rout to avoid icebergs, and Icereports from the day of the crash never got to bridge(testified by one of the survivors that handled the radio). Also its a BIG lie that third class passengers were locked below deck, there are accounts of third class survivors, they told that the gates between classes were open, no one stoped them to reach the boats and there are third class passengers that got to the boats thru the main grand staircase ( it conected with the main 3rd class corridor on E deck). Also about not having enough boats. It hat 4 more boats that what the law required and of the 20 boats it had, the last 2 didnt had time to launch them as we see in the movie, if it had more boats they would have been gone with the ship. Not to mention in those days boats were not made to stay in the open sea for long, their porpouse was in case of accident, call for help, and once the help arrived, ferry passengers from one ship to the other. And that conversation of Ismay telling smith to go fast also never happened, one first class lady said it did but it makes no sense, Ismay was deeply involved in the design and construction of the Titanic, and specially he, wanted Titanic to rival the competition in luxury, not speed, thats why Titanic had "old" design engines, a type of engyne that had existed for decades, instead of newer turbine engines like the competition had wich were way more powerful than Titanic's engines. Also boats were half full at first because people didnt want to get in the boats, they felt safer in the ship(boats were dangerous in open sea), and the boat launching had a schedule it toot time to launch a boat so if there were no more passengers around to get on board, they would just launch it.
Fantastic comment! Was looking for this info. Just to add a bit to it, the gates separating each class were also only waist-high but Cameron depicted them floor-to-ceiling. The Titanic maintaining speed is often assumed to be speeding, as you noted that did not happen but there was a very practical reason for maintaining her speed and not speeding up - harbours and their docks operated on strict schedules based on inbound and outgoing ships, and each ship would have a designated crew to help unload passengers, cargo, and goods. So every ship had an assigned team that would meet it at its designated dock/wharf and begin disembarking passengers, unloading cargo and refuelling/resupplying. Each team was given specific equipment to use for its designated ship, so if any one particular ship (say, Titanic) decided to speed and arrive early, it would mess up the entire docking schedule of the harbour - the designated crew might not be present, or working a different ship and the required equipment would almost certainly be unavailable.
There's also the question of passenger schedules - 1st class passengers had booked specific trains and bought tickets beforehand to ensure they would be picked up at the appropriate date and time.
Finally resources - the ship burned close to 600 tons of coal per day at just her cruising speed of 21 knots. There was a huge labour/coal strike and thus a very difficult coal shortage at that time. Not only was coal much more expensive, it was hard to find and the Titanic would need some 6600 tons of coal for a full refueling, something that New York couldn't always guarantee. There's no way the Captain would risk running low on fuel just to arrive in port one day early.
Outside of extraneous circumstances, it was considered very unprofessional and even rude/inconsiderate to arrive outside of schedule since it messed up not only the harbour's schedule but also rich, potentially angry passengers as well. Just another reason the Titanic never sped up.
Thank you. Another important thing about the lifeboats is that they were experimenting on the fly with carrying capacity (they did not know the regular lifeboats were already tested at 60-70 capacity), and it was assumed that lifeboats with room would pick up some passengers from doors on the lower floors that were supposed to be open (they sent eight men down to open the doors, and it is presumed they died while trying to do so).
The CHEMISTRY Leo and Kate have, even to this day, is undeniable. Their souls have a long and deep history prior to this lifetime. You can tell!
They all survived who were in the lifeboats.
No a few DID die from Hypothermia if they weren't dressed warmly (and never were in the water) , but I think most of the ones who were pulled from the water after Titanic sank, died from hypothermia since they were wet and were exposed to the cold air, with no warm clothing to cover their wet clothes and bodies. It was about 4 hours or so before the Carpathia arrived to rescue the people in the boats. But yes, the majority of the passengers in the life boats survived, but not ALL.
It was game over for that ship 😞
The thing about titanic the back up boats they didn't make enough of the boats and is why a lot of people died.
The number of lifeboats actually did not impact the death toll. Minimum requirements were 16, Titanic carried 20, and the crew didn't even have the time to get all 20 safely off the ship. The last two, Collapsible A and Collapsible B, were almost dragged down before being properly launched and both had to be cut free in waist-deep freezing water.
If the ship had carried more life boats, they would have simply gone down with the ship.
I really enjoyed your conversation after the movie. 👍
Yay, thank you!
Gentlemen' it has been a privilege playing with you tonight
I love your reactions.
thank you so much!
I love her shirt ❤
Great reaction to my favorite movie! 💚
You two are great!
The ending is the only weird part, her afterlife is her on the Titanic with Jack rather than her husband she was with for like 60 years lol poor guy
I was on a ship in 1999,2000 and 2001 from italy to greece so basically after this movie lol its kind of strange when you are on a ship and you just see the ocean and nothing else
"Titanic is a horror story" Bill burr, if you're a guy, love story if a female , all the men die🙂
Nice reaction 👍👍
They don’t make milestone movies like this anymore.
Please guys watch Society of the snow 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
The only reason why I don’t like this movie I love this movie it’s my favorite but it’s cus the wireless operators never got that much attention from the movie and they help a bunch of people that Night and they only get like 2nds I hope they come out with a movie about them so bad❤
Marian it didn’t the front it turned scrapped and punched holes along the side opening up seems popping the rivets keeping the plates together the water started to flood and flow over the front the bulkheads then started spilling over from one to the next to the next from FRONT to eventually the back of ship the ship didn’t hit the iceberg head on it turned scrapped alongside of the iceberg popping open seems and breaking of heads of every river it punctured holes along side of the ship
Jack and Rose were fictional characters. But Rose felt something real for him in the end. She threw the diamond back in the ocean to let go of the past and put it back where the necklace belonged
I’m not into romantic movies to but this is beyond fantastic my favourite movie all time I study the real titanic which was way worse and devastating heartbreaking
"So that old lady.... She is just a liar, right? -George Costanza-
Rose is one of my favorite movie villains. 😍
HTF is Rose the villain? 🤦🏻♂️
Jack Dawson = Orphan, "love" of Rose's life.
Rose has the jewel that the salvage team is looking for. She allows them to waste millions looking for it. Then proceeds to toss it in the ocean.😧(worth 350 million USD) The Necklace could have helped thousands of orphans, just like Jack. @@YorkshiremanReacts26

@@YorkshiremanReacts26through her poor choices, she caused Jack to die.
Jack, Rose, Her mother, Cal, Lovejoy, Tommy and Fabrizio were ALL FICTIONAL characters. Every one else mentioned by name (some of the rich passengers, the crew members and Captain Smith, were ALL REAL passengers (played by actors, of course) that were aboard the Titanic. There are MANY documentaries on the Titanic on line and on You Tube, as well as PREVIOUS movies on the Titanic that were made in the '40s and '50s, like "A NIGHT TO REMEMBER" and another one with just the title "TITANIC" Both movies are ALSO excellent. They are in black and white, and very well done. There are interviews with some of the survivors who were all very very young, one was a teenager at the time, if I remember. But now, of course they have all passed on now. It's been 112 years since Titanic sank.
Because of the Titanic tragedy, there are now enough lifeboats on ships for all crew and passengers, they have regular practices on launching the lifeboats, the shipping lanes were changed, it's a lot safer now. IF the Titanic had just hit the iceberg head on, instead of trying to avoid it, it would NOT have sunk, because the watertight chambers at the front of the ship would have shut and it would have lasted until help came
The binoculars were on board but locked up in the place where they were kept. The man who HAD the keys, was NOT on this voyage. He left in a hurry, before it sailed, and FORGOT that HE had the keys. IF they had had the binoculars available, the lookouts would probably have seen it, in time. ALSO, it was a moonless night, the ocean was incredibly STILL, like glass, and as Captain Smith commented, "like a mill pond." There were NO waves that could be SEEN crashing against the iceberg. If the sea had been rougher and a full moon had been out, chances are they would have EASILY SEEN the iceberg (even without the binoculars) in enough time to avoid it. The other thing that went against them was the NEVER DID A REHEARSAL for launching the lifeboats. It was SUPPOSED to have been done that afternoon, on the day she sank, but for some reason they cancelled it. The crew had NO REAL IDEA on HOW to launch them properly. SO since they only had 2 hours, panic set in with the crew as well, as they didn't know the proper launch method, AND they DIDN'T FILL the lifeboats to their capacity. Yes there weren't enough for everyone, but if they had FILLED them to capacity, more would have been saved.
Some of the people that were picked up from the water, by some of the lifeboats, still died in the lifeboats from hypothermia. Others that didn't dress warmly for the lifeboats, could also have died from the cold. By the way, the air temperature was 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the water temperature was 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The Carpathia didn't arrive until dawn, so the lifeboats drifted for about 4 to 5 hours. Some of the lifeboats, were damaged, or flipped over. One that had flipped over had several people STANDING on it for all those hours and were rescued.
I have read a LOT of books on the TITANIC and watched every documentary I could find. It's VERY interesting (and of course SAD) if you choose to research it more. ALL COULD have been killed/drowned in the life boats IF the sea became very rough, and waves could have sunk or fliipped them over. Except for oars, there were NO survival supplies in the lifeboats.....no food, water, protection against the elements that might have helped them.
Jack and Rose are fictional characters made for the movie.
Three ships built as sister ships in Belfast Northern Ireland by Harland and wolff were Olympic 1908 Titanic 1909 Britannic 1911 The Titanic was launched on 31st may 1911 from Southampton UK Titanic sunk on 15th April 1912 the Britannic sunk on 21st November 1916 after an explosion at sea the Olympic the sole survivor was used during the 1st world war as a troop transport and was in service until 1934 where shortly after it was scrapped
This movie is a nearly a complete fiction although the last survivor Millvina Dean died in 2009 aged 97 she was nine weeks old when it sank
Titanic was launched in Belfast, not in Southampton. She sailed from Southampton
🔔 MARIAN: It's "MY WIFE WATCHED 'THE TITANIC'..." 😉
Best end !
🥰 Happy Valentines Day
To my favorite reactors...thank you. I'm not into romance movies, and when this movie came out I saw it, and I thought it wasn't that great. But watching with you, and hearing your thoughts, makes me think...???...naw, it's still not my favorite movie! But it's much, much better watching with the two of you! You're the best characters this time around! Thanks, and God bless you!
A Nickelodeon was basically a movie theater back then. That's where the TV station took its name from. Joy is right. This is a horror movie, not a romantic movie. Rose was the worst thing that ever happened to Jack because he'd still be alive if he'd never met her. The Jack and Rose storyline was created for the movie, but the majority of the other characters were real people who were on the Titanic. The show Myth Busters tested the door to find out if both Jack and Rose could have balanced on it, because so many fans of the movie were complaining that they both could have gotten on the door and they just didn't try hard enough to get up on it. They they determined that both Jack and Rose would have fit on the door, but their combined weight would have pushed the door down below the waterline far enough so that front half of their bodies would have been underwater, and both of them would have died of hypothermia. The only reason that Rose didn't die was because her body was completely out of the freezing water.
Technically, it's a Disaster Film, which is a type of Horror Film.
Actually you hould NOT blame ROSE for JACK dying. THE minute he won the poker game and won the tickets to sail on the TITANIC, was BAD LUCK. IF he had never been ABOARD the TITANIC in the first place, THAT would be what saved his life. He STILL could have died on the TITANIC even if he had NEVER MET "Rose" He definitely wouldn't have died if he had never won those tickets, placing him on BOARD.
A Nickelodeon is a picture show in the 1900s
Me Love this movie long long time….
