In the final scene, Rose throws away the diamond (known as the Heart of the Ocean) into the ocean because thats where it belongs with the rest of the titanic. Its also a metaphor representing the fact that 84 years ago she let go of the biggest part of her heart(Jack) and so now she lets go of that piece of her heart to him. In the end she passes away in her sleep warm in bed just like she promised Jack. Also added is the fact that she dies exactly where Jack and all other passengers of the titanic did, therefore finally giving in to her fate of dying with him. In the final vision, after Rose has passed she reunites with all the others who had passed this time without any division between rich and poor symbolizing that all are equals in death. The clock behind Jack reads the time 2:20am which was the exact time the Titanic sank completely into the ocean. When you understand the significance of such minute details it just makes everything so much more special - Copied. Made Sooo much sense -
@@Widdekuu91 YOU DUMB BITCH. CAL OBVIOUSLY TOLD THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT HE BROKE OFF HIS ENGAGEMENT WITH ROSE SO IT DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TO THAT BITCH ANYMO
" You jump , I jump ... " . This masterpiece is all about Rose's journey from her social golden prison to her freedom as a woman ... One of the most well written character arc ever .
This reply is SO late but I just had to say THANK YOU for writing this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So many people miss this about the movie (I don't know why 🤷🏻♀️). Among other things, one of the most important themes: Titanic is a female empowerment story set at a time when women were not encouraged to be empowered. If you watch it from that perspective it's incredibly powerful - and you understand why Jack dies (the "they could both fit on the door" complaint is illogical & missing the point entirely...such a pet peeve of mine, don't get me started...😒😖). But yes, I agree 1000% with your comment and I appreciate that someone else sees this movie the way it was intended to be seen.
I'm also late to comment, but agreed. I've seen videos villanizing Rose which miss the point completely. For a woman in 1912 the way Jack treats her and how she grow is tremendous. In a time women had no agency, Jack taught how to do that, which is 1000% against the norms of the time. Like she says in the movie, he saved me in nearly everyway i think a person can be saved. Then ontop of that she's not a damsel that can only be saved, because she saves his too. It's great writing.
The eldery couple in the bed was actually a real couple that stayed togheter when titanic sank. A very proment en wel know couple. Woul love a movie about there lives.
A lot of the underwater footage of the wreck was the actual Titanic. James Cameron went down to the wreck many times, and the "robots" they send into the wreck were made for the movie, but actually ended up working and they got some footage from them as well. Also, if I remember correctly, Cameron made the time from when they hit the iceberg in the movie to the time the movie ended match exactly to how long it took the actual Titanic to sink.
The scenes in the room with the robot getting the safe were done on a set because they weren't able to get to that room for another couple of years but when they did Cameron was there and it's INSANE how accurate they made it. And the scenes where they're at the front of the wreckage and transition into real life were recreation but they look so real because all the other footage they show of the wreckage is real so they were able to recreate it exactly how it was.
@@equestrianry7278 Actual moving film was still a rarity at the time. We were very lucky to get the very few photographs from the Titanic that we got. The one that sticks out the most in my mind is the boy spinning the top on the deck. Almost no pictures survived the sinking though. There was however a survivor that was an actress that was pushed way too hard by her agent and movie studios to do a "film" based on the events. She did it but this was back when films were extremely short and I believe that it was a 12 minute film.She apparently had multiple breakdowns during the filming though and all of the footage of the film was lost in the 20s or 30s in a fire sadly. I'm almost positive that she retired from acting after being pushed to do this project.
Have you seen the documentary that was made after the movie came out? James Cameron and a lot of other people looked more into the titanic and found more information. And that a few minor detailes were wrong in the movie. Not many. But about 90% of the movie he made was how. it happened.
The 1000+ photos taken by Francis Browne are the only images taken of many of Titanic's interior rooms. But there's many more photos of the Olympic, which was virtually identical!
What a masterpiece. I honestly watched this movie so many times but I still cry when I see all these characters and people die. upd: I've never had so many likes in my life. Thank you guys ❤️
The part that gets me everytime is when they show her pictures, how she lived her life fulfilling the promises she had made with Jack. Then by the time she returns to the Titanic and sees all the beloved characters that had died, then Jack waiting by the clock, I was sobbing like a baby.
Truth. My family and I saw it when I was 12 and I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was swept away. Those 3 hrs flew by. Not one person left the theatre with a dry eye.
oh god me too! i really didn’t care for it when i first saw it when i was 12. now it’s my favourite movie ever, been to the exhibitions and everything.
True fact, as the band kept playing until the very end, they all died when it sank. They were all from Southampton and all their families received after their deaths were bills from White Star Line requesting they payed for their dead husbands/sons uniforms. I think that’s extremely sad, especially considering how they accepted their fate, and chose to continue playing to help calm other passengers in the scariest moment of their lives. In Southampton there are loads of memorials for those who died on the Titanic, mainly because 720/900 crew members on board were from Southampton, so the city suffered greatly.
corsican lulu and Wallace Hartley’s widow got in a big legal battle with his family because she was pregnant before they weren’t married yet (they were engaged though) and saying she slept around and it’s not his and blablabla and it took ages to prove she deserved the little bit of money for the widows... horrible...
corsican lulu They deserved their fate. In the end, J Bruce Ismay who was the rich owner of white star line, passed away penniless and broken or so I heard.
Fun Fact: The band continuing to play as the ship sank actually happened in real life EDIT: Wow this got more attention than usual! If you're seeing this, I greatly implore you to look up the names and faces of the band. It may not have been much, but they took part in a selfless act of heroism in a situation where truly nothing could be done.
@@euphoriapotion2075 Yeah, to this day that fact sticks with me. The image of all of them continuing to play as people ran and screamed in complete panic around them is one of the most haunting things I can imagine, and brings tears to my eyes. Survivors who spoke on it said that the band's reason was that they wanted to calm the passengers. Before things got really bad, they thought if people saw the band playing they would go "well, then it can't be that big of an emergency" I can't help but think that that wasn't the whole reason though. I think that maybe, in the end, they wanted to die doing what they loved. Heres an actual quote from a second-class passenger: "Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame."
@@tracyleesmith781 oh that does sound sad. To me, these little acts of heroism are often more emotionally jarring than running into burning buildings. I think it's the idea of doing something at large risk to yourself that you know won't change much, just to help a few people feel calmer
@@royalscholar7504 I agree. I don't want to take anything away from the brave act that is running into a burning building, but it is an impulsive act often fuelled by adrenaline. What the band did took a lot more courage in my opinion, because it was a conscious act, a long and continuous show of amazing strength and selflessness.
one of the most frustrating aspects of the titanic is that it could have avoided being such a tragedy if people would have just used their damn brains ESPECIALLY the dudes in charge. they put less lifeboats on the ship than necessary bc it made the decks "look too cluttered". they ignored ice warnings. they didn't fill the lifeboats to capacity. ALL AVOIDABLE!!! DO YOUR JOBS YOU NINNYS!!
To be fair, it was this tragedy which lead to rules to have enough live boats on the ship in the first place. The real tragedy was that there was a ship nearby which could have helped, but either ignored or genuinely didn't receive the calls for help. Also, while there wasn't enough life boats, there COULD have been more people rescued if the whole thing went down more orderly. But the first boats where let down half empty, partly because they weren't sure how many the boats could actually carry, partly because at this point the passengers were hesitating to enter the boats (hence the little girl from first class which died even though it theoretically had the be survival chance of them all), partly because on one side of the ship they put woman and children first and then filled up the rest with men if now woman and children were nearby in order to get the boats to water as fast as possible (that's how the owner made it, he didn't pretend to be a woman, he actually helped woman and children and was then invited to take a seat in one of those boats because nobody else was close by to claim it), while on the other side they didn't allow men in any boats at all. This lead to one boat even didn't fill up at all, though 17 men (actually 16 men and a 17 year old teenager) survived by jumping on it when it drifted from the ship. Said teenager was the best witness from the Titanic.
@Run Barry Run That is not correct. The Titanic had 20 live boats, which could have carried 1178 persons. That would have been woefully inadequate if the ship had been booked out (in which case 3.000 persons would have been on board), since three time as many boats would have been needed. Luckily, the Titanic wasn't booked out, so there were only around 2.200 people on board. Unluckily, this still meant that roughly only every second person had a chance to get rescued. Thus said, not even THAT happened. Two of the collapsible boats (each of which could have carried 47 people) washed away (though a few of the people who later jumped jump managed to stand on the overturned boat until they were picked up by another live boat later on). And off the boats which made it to the water, most weren't filled up properly, especially the ones on the portside. On the starboard, of 542 possible places in the live boats which got away in time, 408 were used (so 134 less than possible, which is mostly the result of the first three boats having been send away half-full, and one of the last one being send away too hastily). On the portside on the other hand, only 294 of the possible places were used (I guess partly because of the "only woman and children" policy), so 248 people less than possible. In other words, had the evacuation been trained and had it happened in a fast and orderly manner, it would have been possible to rescue at least 1178 people instead of just 710. I say "at least" because depending on the actual weight of the passenger in question, there was some leeway for the boats themselves. liveboat 11 survived the night with 70 instead of just 65 people in it, which was risky, but I think despite the recommended weight, every liveboat could have carried at least one or two people more, especially if there were children/especially light people in it. Bottom line, even with every questionable decision made regarding the Titanic before it hit the ice, the initial underestimation of the situation paired with the later panic and some questionable decisions lead to 468 people more than necessary dying.
* The lifeboat situation was unavoidable at the time tbh. Back then the #of lifeboats weren’t based on the amount of passengers aboard, it was based on the Ships tonnage. Yes Ship designers didn’t want the decks to be “too cluttered” due to the luxury aspect being threatened however they wouldn’t have been able to add more lifeboats anyway. This whole Lifeboat “rule” was due to Board Of Trade Regulations back then
They also didn't think of lifeboats in terms of "okay, we need to fill everyone on board in them" but in terms of "okay, if a ship sinks, we call for help and then we can use the boats to transport everyone over". It was very short sighted, but to be fair, if the other ship nearby had heard the calls, the night would have ended very differently. Also if the Titanic had sunk at a place where temperates weren't freezing.
@jp3913 Yeah, because the press liked the story of the "unsinkable" ship sinking. I think it was originally just a random quote someone made. That everyone was calling the Titanic the "unsinkable Titanic" beforehand was just not true. Nobody really thought about this particularly ship sinking one way or another.
I thought that the ship was said to be almost unsinkable but it got translated to unsinkable so there was a big confusion in it, and also the ship wouldn’t have sunk if there wasn’t a fire in the spot that the iceberg hit beforehand. Idk this is what I heard
It was a magazine at the time that claimed that Titanic and her sister’s were “practically unsinkable “because of the double skin and watertight compartments. Her owners and builders never made that claim.
This is my favorite film of all time. Millennial culture has a thing about making fun of this movie, but they don’t understand how impressive and just what an absolute achievement this was. Especially considering that it was made in the 90’s and still, to this day, looks better than majority of stuff that comes out now. All done with practical effects. Not to mention the phenomenal soundtrack and mesmerizing chemistry between the two lead actors. I can’t think of many other films this memorable and powerful. Poignant and passionate. Just an utterly moving human experience.
Considering the minute detail that is put into this movie to rebuild the Titanic - all the glamour, the luxury - even building an almost lifesize model of the ship for the sinking scenes - is unbelievable. Nowadays they would just use cgi. But Titanic and JurassicPark are two of the movies that show us: Sometimes pracitical effects are way better. This movie has aged very well. Fun fact: Even now, Titanic has not let go of James Cameron. He dived to the Titanic many times and still finds out new details. The diveboats and the russian science vessel we see in the movie are real.
Don't believe the cynicism. A lot of us Millennials saw Titanic in its original movie theater run and had Tiger Beat pictures of Leo taped to our walls. I was twelve when the movie came out and already fascinated by the story of the Titanic (I have very vivid memories of reading a school magazine about Robert Ballard and the technology being used to explore the wreckage). Saw the film in theaters and immediately bought the two tape VHS set when it was released. Have loved it ever since.
Every time I see the pictures of Rose at the end doing what they talked about doing- and also when you see everyone who died on the Titanic waiting for her- those are the moments when I start to cry
Even though the designer of the ship, Thomas Andrews, never claimed that it was unsinkable and wanted there to be enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone, but the White Star Line didn't listen. It was corporate greed and human arrogance that got the whole "unsinkable" narrative going, and it ultimately killed thousands of people.
"Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame."
Well... they were forced. Also there is also a story that since they didn't survive and didn't reach New York, White Starline never paid them (never paid the family). On top of that, the families had to pay for the suits the members of the band were wearing when they died... corporation, ya kno.
@@MARYWTHER Not necessarily "forced", first thing first they're British, back in the day British people have such high view on honor and they are simply honoring their contract with White Star Line, after all crew members should be the last one leaving the ship. If they abandon the shio right away, chaos will ensue and they could get sued by the company.
@@MARYWTHER Hi Nora, The musicians on the Titanic were not employees of the White Star Line, and thus were not paid by them. The band were employees of C. W. & F. N. Black, a company that provided musicians to the steamship lines. As far as their pay goes: The moment the ship sunk, pay stopped for everyone that was working for it. But yes, the company did demand payment for their uniforms.
@@Marshall_Thompson Yeah... no. You want to know who the heroes on the Titanic were? Joseph Bell and his engineers who, knowing the would certainly die, stayed below and kept the boilers going to power the pumps and lights, and the wireless. Imagine what it would have been like on that sinking ship in the dark. THEY were the heroes.
It's impossible to overstate how HUGE this movie was when it came out. People in the entertainment industry for years had been predicting it to be the biggest flop ever, not only because it was the most expensive movie ever made at the time, but also because of its length and the fact that the studio had to push its release date back from summer of 97 to Christmas. I saw it opening weekend and our screening was about 1/3 full. Cut to a week or two later and Titanic was everywhere. There were constant news stories and specials about it, Leo and Kate were on the cover of every magazine, families were going back to see it multiple times, the song was all over the radio and the movie showings were sold out constantly. The world was absolutely obsessed with it. It invaded pop culture in a way that few movies have.
lol i saw it six times when it came out . I was 14. Then it was rereleased in 3d for the 100th anniversary of the sinking in 2012...saw it twice more...and yesterday saw it again for the 25th anniversary. No it's not my favorite movie but .... the one plus side of my nightmare of middle school
what makes this scene even more sad is "Tir na nog" was able to be reached by going under water or across the sea -- a place of final rest where there's eternal youth and beauty😢
damn lmaooo if I had been her I never would've set foot on a ship ever again. I feel like after the second sinking she was probably like "okay the universe is trying to tell me something" shjfkfdj
@Greg Schultz Thank you. I'm on pain pills so I think that's why I got confused. Now if I could just figure out who this young man in my house is who keeps calling me "mom"......
@@smol_fri25 Ok forgive me but I wouldn't want to go anywhere with this woman. If her life was a movie it would be too outlandish to believe. But it's true!
Boring movie. I watched it back in late '90s from the library for free. But it was only to see the lines from it at the joke I posted about Star Wars (original trilogy) being better. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookie." And: You knew the boat was going to sink, but who anticipated "Luke, I am your father."
The note Jack gave Rose at the dinner takes on a new meaning when you see the end - she lived her life, she made it count and now she can go meet him at the clock 🥺❤️
According to interviews when the movie was released, James Cameron freely admitted that the light of the Sunset Scene was completely natural, and Leo and Kate were actually screaming at him to get the shot because they were all stunned by the sheer beauty of the natural sunset in that particular moment. And he got it. That wasn't CGI. It was a real sunset and cinematography. Cameron gave cinematography nods to Kate and Leo for knowing when it was time and urging him to hurry up and do so.
This movie is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. I’ve seen it probably 25 times at least and still sob at the end every single time. It’s beautiful!
I really love this movie. However, I'm in the minority of people who like the historical aspect of it more than the love story. This movie is very accurate to how things really happened. But so many historically accurate plot points and characters are brushed aside to make time for a made up love story. It irritates me they did this but at the same time, I think it works better this way, rather than something like Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, which is pretty accurate and well made, but feels like reading a history book. Titanic has a lasting charm to it that many historical films lack, for which I commend it.
Michael Wolfe: Love your opinion on the film. I completely agree - I’m in the minority, too. My birthday is April 15th, so I’ve been fascinated by the Titanic since I was 10 years old.
I think you are in the majority. And i agree that the combination of the love story and the historical aspects made Titanic iconic otherwise we would watch a documentary..
Check out the movie "A Night to Remember". It also covers the sinking, but doesn't add a whole fictional plot. Note that actor Bernard Fox, who played Col. Gracie in Titanic, played Lookout Fleet in the older movie. (But to me, he will always be Doctor Bombay from the TV show Bewitched.) '
People did say it was unsinkable over and over again back then. That was its thing. Hell, there was a book that came out about 20yrs before about a ship that was called The Titan that was unsinkable and it sank too. Nobody listened.
Mother of Eva Hart thought it was insulting to God to say that and she was afraid of going to Titanic because of that. She had a feeling it would end badly so she stayed awake during the night and sleeping during the day. She and her daughter survived, but her husband didn't. Eva and her parents were briefly shown in the movie when her father tells her that daddies go to the other boat and to be a good girl.
it was advertised back then as unsinkable. It had "new" safety bulkheads that even if they did hit an iceberg as long as only some of the bulkheads filled it would have been okay. The problem was instead of hitting the iceberg dead on they tried to avoid it and scrapped the entire side. ( I used to be obsessed with this movie as a kid and in turn became obsessed with the ship itself.) also the lifeboats risked getting pulled when titanic sank. The suction from it going down pulled things under with it. The sad part is there was a ship about 10 miles away that could have saved them but it thought the flares were fireworks and that it was just a party. The californian I believe. One guy watching did notice that titanic was at a weird angle but I guess never acted on it.
ikr, so many little things that could of made a big difference. I've read/watched documentaries that highlighted things like; forgotten to pack binoculars; only brought white flares, no red ones to signal danger, maybe the Californian would have come; the Californian switched off its wireless system because they were getting annoyed by the constant traffic from Titanic's wealthy guests; and a documentary I saw ran some scenarios through a navy simulator with Titanic's diagnostics etc, the results showed that if they were going at half speed as they should of been in an icy area, they'd have had time enough to turn or if, considering the speed they were going at, they'd just rammed the iceberg head on, as opposed to trying to go around it, they'd have taken less damage. These are all things I've seen in various documentaries etc, so how accurate it is, I can't be certain.
@@roonarific1086 one of the sisterships of the titanic survived a head on collision with a cruiser class navy warship and sustained rather minor damage compared to the cruiser.
They should have checked just in case I wonder what they thought and how they felt when they found out it wasn’t fireworks but distress flares And that ship they thought was having a party is now at the bottom of the ocean and over 1500 people didn’t survive
@@relent-lass7510 there were inquires about that specific thing. and naval distress doctrine about distress flares at teh moment of the sinking of the titanic had no specific color but had to be launched 10m high at 1 minute intervals. from the point of view of the ship that didn't help the titanic they estimated the flares to be going about 5m high and the time between them was inconsistent. therefor, the captain disregarded the notification. he was seriously hindred professionnally because of it because at the time the optical effect he was subjected to was disregarded even if it explained perfectly why he missjudged the distance between them. Besides he did try to hail them with light signals but those where out of range due to the cold mirage effect so no one really was able to see the signals.
Also fun fact the hands you see drawing rose are James Cameron's the directors hands is a very talented artist..... Also I own a piece of coal from the real Titanic
Thanks every year in April the Titanic preservation society comes to a museum near me and they bring artifacts and the had a perfume bottle that you could still smell they even had a large piece of the hull that you could touch it was so amazing and heartbreaking at the same time
You should search videos on the behind the scenes stuff about how they made this film. It's so interesting. They talk a lot about all the details that director James Cameron made sure to put into the movie to make it as historically accurate as possible, even down to contacting the company that made the carpeting for the real Titanic to install the exact same one on set.
Actually, a lot of areas that showed carpet on the movie weren't carpeted at all. The first class dining room had red and blue linoleum tile. It was easier to clean after spills. The hallways in the first-class area were also wrong. They look like that of the Mauretania, the ship that Rose mentions at the South Hampton dock. The corridors on Titanic were white and rather primitive. The floors were of white and black octagon tiles and the hallways were rather narrow. Rose's room is a combination of rooms between two decks. One was the Strauss sitting room, the other was Bruce Ismay's cabin. Also, gates were used to block third-class. The problem was, the ship was segmented to where the classes were separated. This was following the requirements for Board of Immigration to keep classes quarenteened. There were a method to get to first-class, but the door was unmarked. I met the historical and technical consultant for the movie and he said there was a lot they got wrong with the interiors. Information continues to evolve.
A lot of snooty hipsters back in the day shit all over this movie when it came out, because of how popular/"mainstream" it was. It's good to see people who didn't see it when it came out are seeing it now and realizing how good it was.
The hymn they sang in the church scene, was actually sang at the service on Titanic. Also, a woman who was supposed to sail on Titanic, canceled because saying the ship was unsinkable, was to "fly in the face of God"
You say that the body couldn't be recovered due to not having a life jacket on, but only about 330 of the approx 1500 dead were ever recovered. The ship they sent out was far too small with only enough embalming fluid for 70 and only 100 coffins. They took several tons of metal to attach to other bodies to sink them. They mainly brought back the bodies of the wealthier passengers and of the appox 330 recovered from the water only 209 were ever brought back for burial.
Actually they couldn't even recovered the wealthiest men on board because most upper classmen were drowned inside the ship (they tend to sink dignifiedly, with drinks at one hand and cigar at the other)
@@AlexS-oj8qf The richest man on board was J.J. Astor. His body was recovered. The family had offered a reward of $10,000 for the recovery of his remains and this was claimed by the crew of the recovery ship and used to pay for the funeral of an unidentified toddler.
@@PlumbPitiful no, the alcohol wouldn't have helped. Alcohol only makes you feel warmer, but it actually makes you lose warmth faster because your body doesn't try to hold onto it, because it feels warmer. That guy got lucky, but the alcohol did not help him. Don't drink alcohol to avoid hypothermia, it's a terrible idea.
The details, the music, being invested in the characters, this is why it's such a classic and won soooo many awards. We saw it in the theater then bought it on vhs, that's right, vhs. My sister was living with us so one night we started the movie at 9 pm. When it ended around midnight my sister couldn't believe 3 hours had gone by. Titanic will always be one of my favorite films.❤️
The sinking of the titanic in the film took the same amount of time as the sinking did in real life. The films so long because they made sure to do the sinking in real time.
Beth what about the full version, it’s 3 hours 47 minutes long and the sinking is longer than in the theatrical version. but maybe they made the theatrical version’s sinking match the actual sinking time... I dunno.
Minus the present day scenes, the movie spends 2 hours and 40 minutes in 1912 (because James Cameron is a brilliant bastard). That's where the misconception is. Also a neat fact- the sequence of Titanic hitting the iceberg is in real time over 37 seconds, supposedly the same amount of time it actually took.
The reaction of the Titanic passangers whould probably be a mix of tears, sorrow and little bit of happines because at least some of them got meantoned or got ther story told. At least they whould know that they are not forgoten by time.
I was 9. My mom made me close my eyes during sexy times. My friends and I wound up rewatching it so many times that eventually our parents got tired of chaperoning us and either they'd buy 3 tickets (parent + 2 underagers) and they'd leave to see another movie OR my friends and I would buy tickets for a kids movie and sneak into Titanic. It was the kind of movie (remember it stayed in theaters for MONTHS) where we might finish one movie, head towards the exit and say 'hey Titanic's playing in this one let's watch' 1) the effects of recreating the grandeur of the ship took your breath away, people ooo'ed and aww'ed 2) I learned about Anastasia from the anesthesia joke which made the parents laugh 3) seeing it 8 times, I saw the sexy bits snippet by snippet and thought it was hot but also scary since I was NINE 4) the tears bro. The tears. The last third of the movie the theater would always be so quiet and you could hear people cry-breathing and trying not to cry harder. Hooo boy. Don't know why I subjected it to myself so many times but at least the steerage party was happy fun 5) everyone hated Cal
This movie was truly a phenomenon when it was released. Women saw it multiple times in the theater, I’m talking some went 10+ times. I think I went about 6 or 7 myself. Every time, open sobbing in the seats, audible gasps when she jumped off the lifeboat, and red eyes when the lights came up. It was a THING. 🤣
This is one of my favorites of all time. I was 10 years old when it came out in theaters. What a visceral experience! The cast and crew did an incredible job of making one of the most emotionally-powerful films of all time. I loved how the "amnesia effect" happened to you like it does to everyone who watches the movie---you start to forget the ship is going to sink and all these beloved characters are going to die. You find yourself hoping the ship misses the iceberg this time, even though you should know it's not going to. James Cameron talked a lot in the BTS footage about the importance of Jack and Rose's relationship adding the emotional anchor to the film---it's the key to caring about the sinking of the Titanic. We know the ship is going to sink, so why should we care if we already know the ending? It's because Cameron gave us the Titanic experience through the hearts of Jack and Rose. We want them to be together and to make it. It gives us a reason to want that ship to miss the iceberg. It's brilliant storytelling!
I wish I was old enough back then to have watched it for the first time on theaters, but I was only 4. You're so lucky. And your comment is a pretty good argument against all the people who crap on the love story. It's okay if it is not your cup of tea, but you can't say is crap or that it was unnecessary.
I still remember when I saw this for the first time in the cinema. When I got home and lied on bed, I still could feel that I was one of the passengers on the ship. It was shocking my heart and mind at the same time. And I'll never forget that feeling.
Seriously, if the floating door was already somewhat under water with only one person on it, why do people think it could've held two? Rose was also practically frozen, the only thing keeping her alive was the promise she made to Jack. Jack wanted to save her first and foremost, he probably knew he was gonna die but Rose probably didn't. He couldn't get on the door or both of them would've been dead. Also, Rose was raised to never question a man's word, especially the one that she hoped would be her husband in the future. Jack wasn't the type to abuse that power (probably what made her to fall in love with him in the first place) but still, he had made a decision and she accepted it. It's called respect.
don't forget they were running in the freezing water and then wet clothes long before they jumped in into the sea, so it's more than likely (i wouldn't know as i'm not an expert) hypothermia was already starting to set in .
THANK YOU! That whole "there was room for Jack, Rose was so selfish" argument is incredibly dumb. She went back for him when she was about to get on a lifeboat TWICE, DAMMIT!!
For me it's the greatest jewel of the world of cinema , the best romantic movie ever created by Hollywood. The music but it in the perfect time with the scenes they knew how to mold in such a way that it lasted 10 years undefeated. It will be my number one romantic movie ever.
To answer your question, they finally were able to find the titanic sometime in the 80s so about 70ish years after. James Cameron actually created a shitload of technology and furthered titanic research and knowledge by a lot when he did this movie because he went all out on wanting to be as historically accurate as possible out of respect for the families (didn’t really succeed in the case of officer murdoch but still).
the time the movie used to sink the ship was the actual amount of time it took for the real ship to sink. cameron wanted the audience to think about what they may do or how they would use that time
No that's not true. It took 2 hours 40 minutes for Titanic to sink, the film is 3 hours 15 minutes long. The ship struck the iceberg well over the half way point of the film.
This is my favorite movie ever. I've watched it countless times and I'm always like "I hope this time they don't hit the iceberg". I know it's silly, but I think it is the same feeling you described about Jack: even though you know he dies, you're still rooting for him. Now can you see why millions of women fell in love with Jack? lol. I really loved your reactions, and every time you said "oh, that's a meme!" or "oh, this is THE pose!" reminded me of another Leo DiCaprio meme, when he's sitting on a couch and pointing at the screen.
Man you get it, this move is one of my all time favorites. I'm gonna watch it again now. The cinematography and this still holds its own. The things you said you liked about it are all the reasons why I still love this film.
One of the best movie commentaries I ever seen was highly entertained!! Loved this reaction!! Idk how have you never seen this??? Titanic is Iconic!!! It’s absolutely incredible and timeless!! It’s more then just a romance movie!!! It will live on forever! Literally I can watch this movie over and over and not get tired!! All the details were spot on and the acting is phenomenal!! Plus the romantic story just adds on to its charm, Jack and Rose were perfect! This movie just has something special:) was so heartbreaking to see so many people die when they could of been saved. But that’s how it happened in real life which sucks.
Yeah, I remember when I watched for the first time, being only ten, I thought they just found the Titanic. Took me a while to realize "Right, this isn't 1985, this is 1996. They already know the Titanic is there, plus it makes sense for Rose to now be 100 when she was 17 in 1912."
“I know this film is old, but I’m highly entertained.”Because old movies without super hero’s, car chases, and explosions can’t be entertaining? Haha most of the best and iconic movies of all time are older. Also 1997 isn’t that old. This took the top spot from Jurassic Park which came out in 93. And both are still better than 90% of the trash that’s released today.
this whole movie is just absolute magic. the characters, the settings, the visuals... everything. and i agree with how it definitely doesn't feel that dated... the film is such good quality that it feels like it could of been made in 2019, but it was actually made over twenty years ago. and i think the love story between jack and rose was the absolute perfect way to deliver the movie - it brought attention to the titanic while also having an amazing story that sucked the audience in. if it was just another documentary it wouldn't have been as beloved, but the movie managed to tell a great story while also showing a fairly accurate version of the titanic and what happened the night of the sinking.. crazy. i'm just in love with this movie man, the ending makes me cry every time.
Finally someone who really pays attention to the film and makes only intelligent comments. When it was released back in 1997 it was the real deal. Everywhere you looked there they were, in posters, magazines, interviews. I got my copy of the film on a special edition on VHS (a box with two VHS tapes, lots of high quality mini posters and more) and after the final credits there was the video of "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. Although it's been 25 years (yeah, I know) I still have this box and it plays perfectly. Loved your reaction and your comments. Thanks for posting it.
It is just amazing to me how watching a movie like this with a storyline so powerful, you are so into the event and the time that you completely forget where you are, what is happening around you, and even what you know will happen later in the movie. You just completely get sucked into the movie like you are apart of it and it is amazing.
I'm 43. This movie hit theaters in November 1997 and came out to Blockbuster Video on midnight Sept 1, 1998. My birthday. I'll never forget how long the line was to get in the store for a simple VHS copy. It was like an event.
I can't believe I still cried even after knowing perfectly what would happen, after watching it so many times before, and even after watching parts of it while you talked in between... It still hits me so hard, and the fact that it happened in real life, people actually died...
Ever since I was a kid I have loved all things Titanic. I watched a documentary a couple months back about how it sank. Apparently before the ship set sail. It had a fire on the very lower part of it. They shut off the chamber it was located and refused to reschedule the maiden voyage date. The iron was dented and damaged even before they set sail. So it was already weakened when the iceberg hit it... Whether that is 100% accurate or not I don't know. I find it fascinating either way. In the name of money, they ignored the requests of the engineers and continued on with their plans. Titanic's sister ship also sank.
You’re the first person I watched react to this and add the scene of Rose saying she could scream in the middle of a room and no one would look up. I always loved the small dialog she has.
Them mentioning it's unsinkable isn't just for foreshadowing (seems like you're annoyed they keep setting that up), the Titanic was marketed as being unsinkable. It's what made it such a massive, historic event when it sunk.
Titanic cleaned up at the Oscars that year. Best Picture, Best Soundtrack, Best Cinematography, Best Director/Producer and several animation and effects awards. My favorite movie...the soundtrack still makes me cry.
I do find that 'poor' groups of people getting together to party have a lot more relaxed fun than 'rich' groups who are too busy trying to impress one another that they forget to actually have any fun.
i agree, the film overall is just unbelievable. its the only film i would sit down and listen to directors commentary on the dvd. I've even listened to the commentary on the deleted scenes, no film has done this.
Actually most of those bodies that were recovered were buried in Halifax NS, are gone now. Water got under the graves and destroyed them all. They just couldn't get away from the water.
i’m so happy that you noticed a bunch of little details in the movie that a lot of other people missed! another cool little detail is that the scene of the ship hitting the iceberg goes for 37 seconds, the exact amount time it was in real life!
Yo.. I was in 5th grade when this movie came out... I'm a 33 grown ass man and this movie still fucks me up.. Not only was the plot and the love story incredible but the latter half of this movie realizing that, as intense as it was, the real life encounters of the passengers must've been so insane to try to understand. Definitely on my Mount Rushmore of films.
Next movies will be 17 Again , Twilight binge and Maze Runner Scorch Trials
Music to my ears 😂❤
17 again is hella good u will enjoy it and also the other movies lol
Can't wait
Yeeeeeej maze runnnnnnneerrrrr
The Notebook soon after those? 👀
The way this movie can still hurt me after 22 years and having watched it so many times is incredible.
I watched the movie anually on April, 15th and cried every single time!
Do you guys know where to get this movie plz
Where did you watch it?😫
same here :(
Same. I thought I have moved on, that i would stop crying but...
*cries in ugly
Titanic: The movie YOU KNOW DAMN WELL everyone dies but you still root for them to survive lol
Except for Jack's friend, the Italian stereotype. I was rooting for that smokestack.
Exactly the same as in Rogue One!!!
@@bighuge1060 i'm italian and yes he is really a stereotype
Not everyone
"Maybe this time the ship won't sink"
In the final scene, Rose throws away the diamond (known as the Heart of the Ocean) into the ocean because thats where it belongs with the rest of the titanic. Its also a metaphor representing the fact that 84 years ago she let go of the biggest part of her heart(Jack) and so now she lets go of that piece of her heart to him. In the end she passes away in her sleep warm in bed just like she promised Jack. Also added is the fact that she dies exactly where Jack and all other passengers of the titanic did, therefore finally giving in to her fate of dying with him. In the final vision, after Rose has passed she reunites with all the others who had passed this time without any division between rich and poor symbolizing that all are equals in death. The clock behind Jack reads the time 2:20am which was the exact time the Titanic sank completely into the ocean. When you understand the significance of such minute details it just makes everything so much more special
- Copied. Made Sooo much sense -
You said it so right and so beautiful man 😃
@@johnchef1195 if you watch the deleted scenes she actually throws it because the people on board confronted her and found out she had the diamond
NO BITCH. SHE THREW IT BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO MAKE A POINT THAT SHE MADE IT WITHOUT CAL'S CASH.
I think she could've sold it and helped all the sad, hungry kids in the world with that money.
@@Widdekuu91 YOU DUMB BITCH. CAL OBVIOUSLY TOLD THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT HE BROKE OFF HIS ENGAGEMENT WITH ROSE SO IT DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TO THAT BITCH ANYMO
" You jump , I jump ... " . This masterpiece is all about Rose's journey from her social golden prison to her freedom as a woman ... One of the most well written character arc ever .
This reply is SO late but I just had to say THANK YOU for writing this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So many people miss this about the movie (I don't know why 🤷🏻♀️). Among other things, one of the most important themes: Titanic is a female empowerment story set at a time when women were not encouraged to be empowered. If you watch it from that perspective it's incredibly powerful - and you understand why Jack dies (the "they could both fit on the door" complaint is illogical & missing the point entirely...such a pet peeve of mine, don't get me started...😒😖). But yes, I agree 1000% with your comment and I appreciate that someone else sees this movie the way it was intended to be seen.
I'm also late to comment, but agreed. I've seen videos villanizing Rose which miss the point completely. For a woman in 1912 the way Jack treats her and how she grow is tremendous. In a time women had no agency, Jack taught how to do that, which is 1000% against the norms of the time. Like she says in the movie, he saved me in nearly everyway i think a person can be saved. Then ontop of that she's not a damsel that can only be saved, because she saves his too. It's great writing.
I can’t wait to force my children to watch this iconic movie
I don't think that will be very difficult. How old are they now?
Same here. I don't even have children.
One of the most overrated movies...
My parents made me and my brother watch it when I was like 9 and I always wondered what happened at the parts they skipped😅
Lmao force
When this first came out, theatres (at least the ones up here in Ontario) lowered the temperature a couple of degrees after the ice burg hit.
very cool! (*wink wink*)
Oh wow. See, I love it when people go the extra mile like that for good entertainment.
Wow thay was brilliant indeed!
MavenCree iceberg* burg means village/town :p but then again so many died frozen, it’s a fine line
I saw this movie in 3D
The eldery couple in the bed was actually a real couple that stayed togheter when titanic sank. A very proment en wel know couple. Woul love a movie about there lives.
They were the original owners of Macy's.
@@allisontrombley Maturity
Yes, they were Isador and Ida Straus. He was a United States Representative and co-owner of Macy's.
Sanne annelies I always cry at that point
I understand also, the woman refused to be rescued, but gave her seat to her hand-maid.
A lot of the underwater footage of the wreck was the actual Titanic. James Cameron went down to the wreck many times, and the "robots" they send into the wreck were made for the movie, but actually ended up working and they got some footage from them as well. Also, if I remember correctly, Cameron made the time from when they hit the iceberg in the movie to the time the movie ended match exactly to how long it took the actual Titanic to sink.
The scenes in the room with the robot getting the safe were done on a set because they weren't able to get to that room for another couple of years but when they did Cameron was there and it's INSANE how accurate they made it. And the scenes where they're at the front of the wreckage and transition into real life were recreation but they look so real because all the other footage they show of the wreckage is real so they were able to recreate it exactly how it was.
@@equestrianry7278 Actual moving film was still a rarity at the time. We were very lucky to get the very few photographs from the Titanic that we got. The one that sticks out the most in my mind is the boy spinning the top on the deck. Almost no pictures survived the sinking though. There was however a survivor that was an actress that was pushed way too hard by her agent and movie studios to do a "film" based on the events. She did it but this was back when films were extremely short and I believe that it was a 12 minute film.She apparently had multiple breakdowns during the filming though and all of the footage of the film was lost in the 20s or 30s in a fire sadly. I'm almost positive that she retired from acting after being pushed to do this project.
Have you seen the documentary that was made after the movie came out? James Cameron and a lot of other people looked more into the titanic and found more information. And that a few minor detailes were wrong in the movie. Not many. But about 90% of the movie he made was how. it happened.
The 1000+ photos taken by Francis Browne are the only images taken of many of Titanic's interior rooms. But there's many more photos of the Olympic, which was virtually identical!
TrevorBlueSquirrel thats so cool!
What a masterpiece. I honestly watched this movie so many times but I still cry when I see all these characters and people die.
upd: I've never had so many likes in my life. Thank you guys ❤️
The part that gets me everytime is when they show her pictures, how she lived her life fulfilling the promises she had made with Jack. Then by the time she returns to the Titanic and sees all the beloved characters that had died, then Jack waiting by the clock, I was sobbing like a baby.
Agreed. 💙
me too, I almost cried just watching this video 😅
I laugh at that moment
I have watched this lots of times aswell i love this movie so much
"I want him to die. Not in the bad way... Okay in the bad way actually " that cracked me up
This is one of the few films that I wish I could experience for the first time all over again. It is so good.
When I saw it for the first time I was like 6 and didn't understand half of it. Such a waste.
Me too I was like 9 and mostly didn’t care
Truth. My family and I saw it when I was 12 and I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was swept away. Those 3 hrs flew by. Not one person left the theatre with a dry eye.
I’m sixteen and have never seen it, should I watch it before or after this video
oh god me too! i really didn’t care for it when i first saw it when i was 12. now it’s my favourite movie ever, been to the exhibitions and everything.
True fact, as the band kept playing until the very end, they all died when it sank. They were all from Southampton and all their families received after their deaths were bills from White Star Line requesting they payed for their dead husbands/sons uniforms. I think that’s extremely sad, especially considering how they accepted their fate, and chose to continue playing to help calm other passengers in the scariest moment of their lives.
In Southampton there are loads of memorials for those who died on the Titanic, mainly because 720/900 crew members on board were from Southampton, so the city suffered greatly.
wow what incredible nerve of the white star line to do that, huge assholes!
corsican lulu and Wallace Hartley’s widow got in a big legal battle with his family because she was pregnant before they weren’t married yet (they were engaged though) and saying she slept around and it’s not his and blablabla and it took ages to prove she deserved the little bit of money for the widows... horrible...
corsican lulu They deserved their fate. In the end, J Bruce Ismay who was the rich owner of white star line, passed away penniless and broken or so I heard.
Fun Fact: The band continuing to play as the ship sank actually happened in real life
EDIT: Wow this got more attention than usual! If you're seeing this, I greatly implore you to look up the names and faces of the band. It may not have been much, but they took part in a selfless act of heroism in a situation where truly nothing could be done.
that's not a fun fact, that's a heartbreaking fact
@@euphoriapotion2075 Yeah, to this day that fact sticks with me. The image of all of them continuing to play as people ran and screamed in complete panic around them is one of the most haunting things I can imagine, and brings tears to my eyes.
Survivors who spoke on it said that the band's reason was that they wanted to calm the passengers. Before things got really bad, they thought if people saw the band playing they would go "well, then it can't be that big of an emergency"
I can't help but think that that wasn't the whole reason though. I think that maybe, in the end, they wanted to die doing what they loved. Heres an actual quote from a second-class passenger:
"Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame."
Also, the band leader's great nephew talked about this & it was really sad
@@tracyleesmith781 oh that does sound sad. To me, these little acts of heroism are often more emotionally jarring than running into burning buildings. I think it's the idea of doing something at large risk to yourself that you know won't change much, just to help a few people feel calmer
@@royalscholar7504 I agree. I don't want to take anything away from the brave act that is running into a burning building, but it is an impulsive act often fuelled by adrenaline.
What the band did took a lot more courage in my opinion, because it was a conscious act, a long and continuous show of amazing strength and selflessness.
one of the most frustrating aspects of the titanic is that it could have avoided being such a tragedy if people would have just used their damn brains ESPECIALLY the dudes in charge. they put less lifeboats on the ship than necessary bc it made the decks "look too cluttered". they ignored ice warnings. they didn't fill the lifeboats to capacity. ALL AVOIDABLE!!! DO YOUR JOBS YOU NINNYS!!
To be fair, it was this tragedy which lead to rules to have enough live boats on the ship in the first place.
The real tragedy was that there was a ship nearby which could have helped, but either ignored or genuinely didn't receive the calls for help. Also, while there wasn't enough life boats, there COULD have been more people rescued if the whole thing went down more orderly. But the first boats where let down half empty, partly because they weren't sure how many the boats could actually carry, partly because at this point the passengers were hesitating to enter the boats (hence the little girl from first class which died even though it theoretically had the be survival chance of them all), partly because on one side of the ship they put woman and children first and then filled up the rest with men if now woman and children were nearby in order to get the boats to water as fast as possible (that's how the owner made it, he didn't pretend to be a woman, he actually helped woman and children and was then invited to take a seat in one of those boats because nobody else was close by to claim it), while on the other side they didn't allow men in any boats at all. This lead to one boat even didn't fill up at all, though 17 men (actually 16 men and a 17 year old teenager) survived by jumping on it when it drifted from the ship. Said teenager was the best witness from the Titanic.
I think "slow to 1/4" would have saved everyone.
@Run Barry Run That is not correct. The Titanic had 20 live boats, which could have carried 1178 persons. That would have been woefully inadequate if the ship had been booked out (in which case 3.000 persons would have been on board), since three time as many boats would have been needed. Luckily, the Titanic wasn't booked out, so there were only around 2.200 people on board. Unluckily, this still meant that roughly only every second person had a chance to get rescued.
Thus said, not even THAT happened. Two of the collapsible boats (each of which could have carried 47 people) washed away (though a few of the people who later jumped jump managed to stand on the overturned boat until they were picked up by another live boat later on). And off the boats which made it to the water, most weren't filled up properly, especially the ones on the portside. On the starboard, of 542 possible places in the live boats which got away in time, 408 were used (so 134 less than possible, which is mostly the result of the first three boats having been send away half-full, and one of the last one being send away too hastily). On the portside on the other hand, only 294 of the possible places were used (I guess partly because of the "only woman and children" policy), so 248 people less than possible.
In other words, had the evacuation been trained and had it happened in a fast and orderly manner, it would have been possible to rescue at least 1178 people instead of just 710. I say "at least" because depending on the actual weight of the passenger in question, there was some leeway for the boats themselves. liveboat 11 survived the night with 70 instead of just 65 people in it, which was risky, but I think despite the recommended weight, every liveboat could have carried at least one or two people more, especially if there were children/especially light people in it.
Bottom line, even with every questionable decision made regarding the Titanic before it hit the ice, the initial underestimation of the situation paired with the later panic and some questionable decisions lead to 468 people more than necessary dying.
* The lifeboat situation was unavoidable at the time tbh. Back then the #of lifeboats weren’t based on the amount of passengers aboard, it was based on the Ships tonnage. Yes Ship designers didn’t want the decks to be “too cluttered” due to the luxury aspect being threatened however they wouldn’t have been able to add more lifeboats anyway. This whole Lifeboat “rule” was due to Board Of Trade Regulations back then
They also didn't think of lifeboats in terms of "okay, we need to fill everyone on board in them" but in terms of "okay, if a ship sinks, we call for help and then we can use the boats to transport everyone over". It was very short sighted, but to be fair, if the other ship nearby had heard the calls, the night would have ended very differently. Also if the Titanic had sunk at a place where temperates weren't freezing.
the unsinkable ship thing was actually how the ship was promoted which is why it's mentioned so often
Not really...the whole thing mostly came up after it already sunk.
@@swanpride You're saying that the ship was deemed unsinkable after it sunk?
@jp3913 Yeah, because the press liked the story of the "unsinkable" ship sinking. I think it was originally just a random quote someone made. That everyone was calling the Titanic the "unsinkable Titanic" beforehand was just not true. Nobody really thought about this particularly ship sinking one way or another.
I thought that the ship was said to be almost unsinkable but it got translated to unsinkable so there was a big confusion in it, and also the ship wouldn’t have sunk if there wasn’t a fire in the spot that the iceberg hit beforehand. Idk this is what I heard
It was a magazine at the time that claimed that Titanic and her sister’s were “practically unsinkable “because of the double skin and watertight compartments. Her owners and builders never made that claim.
This is my favorite film of all time. Millennial culture has a thing about making fun of this movie, but they don’t understand how impressive and just what an absolute achievement this was. Especially considering that it was made in the 90’s and still, to this day, looks better than majority of stuff that comes out now. All done with practical effects. Not to mention the phenomenal soundtrack and mesmerizing chemistry between the two lead actors. I can’t think of many other films this memorable and powerful. Poignant and passionate. Just an utterly moving human experience.
Millennials are the ones watching this movie when they are young.
Considering the minute detail that is put into this movie to rebuild the Titanic - all the glamour, the luxury - even building an almost lifesize model of the ship for the sinking scenes - is unbelievable. Nowadays they would just use cgi. But Titanic and JurassicPark are two of the movies that show us: Sometimes pracitical effects are way better. This movie has aged very well.
Fun fact: Even now, Titanic has not let go of James Cameron. He dived to the Titanic many times and still finds out new details. The diveboats and the russian science vessel we see in the movie are real.
Millennials were the one who boosted the movie
Don't believe the cynicism. A lot of us Millennials saw Titanic in its original movie theater run and had Tiger Beat pictures of Leo taped to our walls. I was twelve when the movie came out and already fascinated by the story of the Titanic (I have very vivid memories of reading a school magazine about Robert Ballard and the technology being used to explore the wreckage). Saw the film in theaters and immediately bought the two tape VHS set when it was released. Have loved it ever since.
Well said 👏🏻 This movie hasn’t aged at all and it came out in 1997. It’s 23years old and it’s just flawless. It will remain a favorite.
I love Titanic. I’ll say my favorite romantic love story ever. One of my favorite movies
and also you don't have to look at this movie as a full romance movie the movie can also be just about the titanic and all the people on it in 1912

Every time I see the pictures of Rose at the end doing what they talked about doing- and also when you see everyone who died on the Titanic waiting for her- those are the moments when I start to cry
that unsinkable talk was real. the ship was actually promoted as such.
(edit: changed "it" to "the ship" for more clarity.)
Even though the designer of the ship, Thomas Andrews, never claimed that it was unsinkable and wanted there to be enough lifeboats to accommodate everyone, but the White Star Line didn't listen. It was corporate greed and human arrogance that got the whole "unsinkable" narrative going, and it ultimately killed thousands of people.

The band members played till the ship finally sunk to keep everyone calm
"Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame."
Well... they were forced. Also there is also a story that since they didn't survive and didn't reach New York, White Starline never paid them (never paid the family). On top of that, the families had to pay for the suits the members of the band were wearing when they died... corporation, ya kno.
@@MARYWTHER Not necessarily "forced", first thing first they're British, back in the day British people have such high view on honor and they are simply honoring their contract with White Star Line, after all crew members should be the last one leaving the ship. If they abandon the shio right away, chaos will ensue and they could get sued by the company.
@@MARYWTHER
Hi Nora,
The musicians on the Titanic were not employees of the White Star Line, and thus were not paid by them. The band were employees of C. W. & F. N. Black, a company that provided musicians to the steamship lines. As far as their pay goes: The moment the ship sunk, pay stopped for everyone that was working for it. But yes, the company did demand payment for their uniforms.
@@Marshall_Thompson
Yeah... no. You want to know who the heroes on the Titanic were? Joseph Bell and his engineers who, knowing the would certainly die, stayed below and kept the boilers going to power the pumps and lights, and the wireless. Imagine what it would have been like on that sinking ship in the dark. THEY were the heroes.
It's impossible to overstate how HUGE this movie was when it came out. People in the entertainment industry for years had been predicting it to be the biggest flop ever, not only because it was the most expensive movie ever made at the time, but also because of its length and the fact that the studio had to push its release date back from summer of 97 to Christmas. I saw it opening weekend and our screening was about 1/3 full. Cut to a week or two later and Titanic was everywhere. There were constant news stories and specials about it, Leo and Kate were on the cover of every magazine, families were going back to see it multiple times, the song was all over the radio and the movie showings were sold out constantly. The world was absolutely obsessed with it. It invaded pop culture in a way that few movies have.
lol i saw it six times when it came out . I was 14. Then it was rereleased in 3d for the 100th anniversary of the sinking in 2012...saw it twice more...and yesterday saw it again for the 25th anniversary. No it's not my favorite movie but .... the one plus side of my nightmare of middle school
I always get teared up when the mom is telling a story to her two kids in bed
Me having two kids of my own I can't even imagine 😢😢 and they were poor so she knew she couldnt save them in time
So she just told a story until they fell asleep and died from the water in their sleep :-: at least they weren’t scarred for life by the sinking
YourSaltyPretzel that’s why I cry, she comforted them to the very end. She knew what was going to happen but made sure they were comfortable.
Frolicking Sims mhm it makes me sad as a 10 year old 😭
what makes this scene even more sad is "Tir na nog" was able to be reached by going under water or across the sea -- a place of final rest where there's eternal youth and beauty😢
Fun fact: They built another ship after and it also sank, a woman on the titanic survived BOTH sinkings.
That was the Britannic. It was used as a medical ship and was torpedoed. There was also a ship called the Olympic.
damn lmaooo if I had been her I never would've set foot on a ship ever again. I feel like after the second sinking she was probably like "okay the universe is trying to tell me something" shjfkfdj
@Greg Schultz Thank you. I'm on pain pills so I think that's why I got confused. Now if I could just figure out who this young man in my house is who keeps calling me "mom"......

Boring movie. I watched it back in late '90s from the library for free. But it was only to see the lines from it at the joke I posted about Star Wars (original trilogy) being better. "I'd rather be his whore than your wife" doesn't have the same sting as "I'd rather kiss a Wookie." And: You knew the boat was going to sink, but who anticipated "Luke, I am your father."
The note Jack gave Rose at the dinner takes on a new meaning when you see the end - she lived her life, she made it count and now she can go meet him at the clock 🥺❤️
I've seen this movie like 30 times, and I've NEVER noticed the clock being 2:20 before.

@Adam Buentello that's the time when the Titanic fully sunk
According to interviews when the movie was released, James Cameron freely admitted that the light of the Sunset Scene was completely natural, and Leo and Kate were actually screaming at him to get the shot because they were all stunned by the sheer beauty of the natural sunset in that particular moment. And he got it. That wasn't CGI. It was a real sunset and cinematography. Cameron gave cinematography nods to Kate and Leo for knowing when it was time and urging him to hurry up and do so.
Yup. Kate just shouted:” SHOOOOOOOOT!!!”
Bro, you reacted exactly how you should have to every moment. There's a reason it's one of the greatest films of all time. Great video!
This movie is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. I’ve seen it probably 25 times at least and still sob at the end every single time. It’s beautiful!
I really love this movie. However, I'm in the minority of people who like the historical aspect of it more than the love story. This movie is very accurate to how things really happened. But so many historically accurate plot points and characters are brushed aside to make time for a made up love story. It irritates me they did this but at the same time, I think it works better this way, rather than something like Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, which is pretty accurate and well made, but feels like reading a history book. Titanic has a lasting charm to it that many historical films lack, for which I commend it.
Michael Wolfe: Love your opinion on the film. I completely agree - I’m in the minority, too. My birthday is April 15th, so I’ve been fascinated by the Titanic since I was 10 years old.
I think you are in the majority. And i agree that the combination of the love story and the historical aspects made Titanic iconic otherwise we would watch a documentary..
Michael Wolfe as soon as you said historical...I said aight ima head out
I actually loved Dunkirk. Idk about you but Titanic sort of reminded me of the movie Pearl Harbor. The way is was structured etc
Check out the movie "A Night to Remember". It also covers the sinking, but doesn't add a whole fictional plot. Note that actor Bernard Fox, who played Col. Gracie in Titanic, played Lookout Fleet in the older movie. (But to me, he will always be Doctor Bombay from the TV show Bewitched.)

I’ve seen this movie like 30 times and I still root for Jack to live.
That old fanmade Titanic II trailer on UA-cam used to make me so happy 😂
I love when every couple years that trailer makes its rounds and so many people believe it’s real 💀
i love the trailer, but Rose has got to still be alive otherwise it's too sad!
People did say it was unsinkable over and over again back then. That was its thing. Hell, there was a book that came out about 20yrs before about a ship that was called The Titan that was unsinkable and it sank too. Nobody listened.
MavenCree Most of the WSL ships sank, that company was ill fated but that book always gave me chills it was as if he predicted it with minimal error.
Mother of Eva Hart thought it was insulting to God to say that and she was afraid of going to Titanic because of that. She had a feeling it would end badly so she stayed awake during the night and sleeping during the day. She and her daughter survived, but her husband didn't. Eva and her parents were briefly shown in the movie when her father tells her that daddies go to the other boat and to be a good girl.
You should watch Narnia The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe at some point
Yessss!!!!
I agree. what a magical film...
YES YES AND YES!!’
great idea
I didn't know I needed this
it was advertised back then as unsinkable. It had "new" safety bulkheads that even if they did hit an iceberg as long as only some of the bulkheads filled it would have been okay. The problem was instead of hitting the iceberg dead on they tried to avoid it and scrapped the entire side. ( I used to be obsessed with this movie as a kid and in turn became obsessed with the ship itself.) also the lifeboats risked getting pulled when titanic sank. The suction from it going down pulled things under with it. The sad part is there was a ship about 10 miles away that could have saved them but it thought the flares were fireworks and that it was just a party. The californian I believe. One guy watching did notice that titanic was at a weird angle but I guess never acted on it.
ikr, so many little things that could of made a big difference. I've read/watched documentaries that highlighted things like; forgotten to pack binoculars; only brought white flares, no red ones to signal danger, maybe the Californian would have come; the Californian switched off its wireless system because they were getting annoyed by the constant traffic from Titanic's wealthy guests; and a documentary I saw ran some scenarios through a navy simulator with Titanic's diagnostics etc, the results showed that if they were going at half speed as they should of been in an icy area, they'd have had time enough to turn or if, considering the speed they were going at, they'd just rammed the iceberg head on, as opposed to trying to go around it, they'd have taken less damage. These are all things I've seen in various documentaries etc, so how accurate it is, I can't be certain.
"Practically unsinkable", Shipbuilder Magazine. It was never advertised as unsinkable, especially by the line. There was that sentiment though.
@@roonarific1086 one of the sisterships of the titanic survived a head on collision with a cruiser class navy warship and sustained rather minor damage compared to the cruiser.
They should have checked just in case
I wonder what they thought and how they felt when they found out it wasn’t fireworks but distress flares
And that ship they thought was having a party is now at the bottom of the ocean and over 1500 people didn’t survive
@@relent-lass7510 there were inquires about that specific thing. and naval distress doctrine about distress flares at teh moment of the sinking of the titanic had no specific color but had to be launched 10m high at 1 minute intervals. from the point of view of the ship that didn't help the titanic they estimated the flares to be going about 5m high and the time between them was inconsistent. therefor, the captain disregarded the notification. he was seriously hindred professionnally because of it because at the time the optical effect he was subjected to was disregarded even if it explained perfectly why he missjudged the distance between them. Besides he did try to hail them with light signals but those where out of range due to the cold mirage effect so no one really was able to see the signals.
Also fun fact the hands you see drawing rose are James Cameron's the directors hands is a very talented artist..... Also I own a piece of coal from the real Titanic
Oh wow a piece of coal!? That’s amazing your so lucky XD
Thanks every year in April the Titanic preservation society comes to a museum near me and they bring artifacts and the had a perfume bottle that you could still smell they even had a large piece of the hull that you could touch it was so amazing and heartbreaking at the same time

You should search videos on the behind the scenes stuff about how they made this film. It's so interesting. They talk a lot about all the details that director James Cameron made sure to put into the movie to make it as historically accurate as possible, even down to contacting the company that made the carpeting for the real Titanic to install the exact same one on set.
Actually, a lot of areas that showed carpet on the movie weren't carpeted at all. The first class dining room had red and blue linoleum tile. It was easier to clean after spills. The hallways in the first-class area were also wrong. They look like that of the Mauretania, the ship that Rose mentions at the South Hampton dock. The corridors on Titanic were white and rather primitive. The floors were of white and black octagon tiles and the hallways were rather narrow. Rose's room is a combination of rooms between two decks. One was the Strauss sitting room, the other was Bruce Ismay's cabin. Also, gates were used to block third-class. The problem was, the ship was segmented to where the classes were separated. This was following the requirements for Board of Immigration to keep classes quarenteened. There were a method to get to first-class, but the door was unmarked. I met the historical and technical consultant for the movie and he said there was a lot they got wrong with the interiors. Information continues to evolve.
A lot of snooty hipsters back in the day shit all over this movie when it came out, because of how popular/"mainstream" it was. It's good to see people who didn't see it when it came out are seeing it now and realizing how good it was.
Those snooty hipsters did the same with Avatar when it came around.
They cannot get close to the boat because they will be pulled in
That’s also why they didn’t go back when the passengers were in the water they would have all panicked and ended up pulling the lifeboats in the water
The hymn they sang in the church scene, was actually sang at the service on Titanic. Also, a woman who was supposed to sail on Titanic, canceled because saying the ship was unsinkable, was to "fly in the face of God"
You say that the body couldn't be recovered due to not having a life jacket on, but only about 330 of the approx 1500 dead were ever recovered. The ship they sent out was far too small with only enough embalming fluid for 70 and only 100 coffins. They took several tons of metal to attach to other bodies to sink them. They mainly brought back the bodies of the wealthier passengers and of the appox 330 recovered from the water only 209 were ever brought back for burial.
it's so sad, even in death they still divided them by class.
Actually they couldn't even recovered the wealthiest men on board because most upper classmen were drowned inside the ship (they tend to sink dignifiedly, with drinks at one hand and cigar at the other)
@@AlexS-oj8qf The richest man on board was J.J. Astor. His body was recovered. The family had offered a reward of $10,000 for the recovery of his remains and this was claimed by the crew of the recovery ship and used to pay for the funeral of an unidentified toddler.
As far as I know, most bodies were so damaged by the sea that they couldn't be identified which is why they where buried at sea.
fun fact: the guy near rose and jack at the end of the ship when its going in, he was actually a survivor of the original titanic🥺
That was the cook. He survived by drinking an entire bottle of whiskey which somehow kept him warm so he didn't freeze to death in the water.
@@PlumbPitiful no, the alcohol wouldn't have helped. Alcohol only makes you feel warmer, but it actually makes you lose warmth faster because your body doesn't try to hold onto it, because it feels warmer. That guy got lucky, but the alcohol did not help him. Don't drink alcohol to avoid hypothermia, it's a terrible idea.
Lmao I’ve never really realize how many times they mentioned “unsinkable Ship” 😂😂
The details, the music, being invested in the characters, this is why it's such a classic and won soooo many awards. We saw it in the theater then bought it on vhs, that's right, vhs. My sister was living with us so one night we started the movie at 9 pm. When it ended around midnight my sister couldn't believe 3 hours had gone by.
Titanic will always be one of my favorite films.❤️
Titanic is by far the best movie ever!!
Please watch forest Gump if you haven't already
YES REACT TO FORREST GUMP! It’s soooo good!
The sinking of the titanic in the film took the same amount of time as the sinking did in real life. The films so long because they made sure to do the sinking in real time.
Beth what about the full version, it’s 3 hours 47 minutes long and the sinking is longer than in the theatrical version. but maybe they made the theatrical version’s sinking match the actual sinking time... I dunno.
Nope. Titanic took 2 hours 40 minutes to sink. The film is 3 hours 15 minutes long.
@@kovugreen pretty sure the open didn't begin with the titanic starting to sink now did it...
@@muhammadnazrin3390 Exactly, so that makes the sinking in the film even shorter....
Minus the present day scenes, the movie spends 2 hours and 40 minutes in 1912 (because James Cameron is a brilliant bastard). That's where the misconception is. Also a neat fact- the sequence of Titanic hitting the iceberg is in real time over 37 seconds, supposedly the same amount of time it actually took.
you're like a Dylan Is In Trouble 2.0
Dylan is how I found this channel 😂
Gotta love Dylan
Not yet but he’s getting there😂👌🏼
Dylan is amazing. Just watched his Mulan commentary, so gooood.
Dylan is kinda silly, like he jokes too much when there's no need to. I prefer Sean
I'd kill if I could watch people's reaction to this when it came out in 1997
The reaction of the Titanic passangers whould probably be a mix of tears, sorrow and little bit of happines because at least some of them got meantoned or got ther story told. At least they whould know that they are not forgoten by time.
I was 10 and watched it in the cinema. My dad covered my eyes when they got naked 😅
I was 9. My mom made me close my eyes during sexy times. My friends and I wound up rewatching it so many times that eventually our parents got tired of chaperoning us and either they'd buy 3 tickets (parent + 2 underagers) and they'd leave to see another movie OR my friends and I would buy tickets for a kids movie and sneak into Titanic. It was the kind of movie (remember it stayed in theaters for MONTHS) where we might finish one movie, head towards the exit and say 'hey Titanic's playing in this one let's watch'
1) the effects of recreating the grandeur of the ship took your breath away, people ooo'ed and aww'ed
2) I learned about Anastasia from the anesthesia joke which made the parents laugh
3) seeing it 8 times, I saw the sexy bits snippet by snippet and thought it was hot but also scary since I was NINE
4) the tears bro. The tears. The last third of the movie the theater would always be so quiet and you could hear people cry-breathing and trying not to cry harder. Hooo boy. Don't know why I subjected it to myself so many times but at least the steerage party was happy fun
5) everyone hated Cal
This movie was truly a phenomenon when it was released. Women saw it multiple times in the theater, I’m talking some went 10+ times. I think I went about 6 or 7 myself. Every time, open sobbing in the seats, audible gasps when she jumped off the lifeboat, and red eyes when the lights came up. It was a THING. 🤣
@@hbfour2011 I went 6 times with different groups of Friends!
still can’t believe you’ve never seen it😂❤️
This movie still gets me so emotional, even just watching these snippets in your video made me sob.
This is one of my favorites of all time. I was 10 years old when it came out in theaters. What a visceral experience! The cast and crew did an incredible job of making one of the most emotionally-powerful films of all time. I loved how the "amnesia effect" happened to you like it does to everyone who watches the movie---you start to forget the ship is going to sink and all these beloved characters are going to die. You find yourself hoping the ship misses the iceberg this time, even though you should know it's not going to.
James Cameron talked a lot in the BTS footage about the importance of Jack and Rose's relationship adding the emotional anchor to the film---it's the key to caring about the sinking of the Titanic. We know the ship is going to sink, so why should we care if we already know the ending? It's because Cameron gave us the Titanic experience through the hearts of Jack and Rose. We want them to be together and to make it. It gives us a reason to want that ship to miss the iceberg.
It's brilliant storytelling!
I wish I was old enough back then to have watched it for the first time on theaters, but I was only 4. You're so lucky. And your comment is a pretty good argument against all the people who crap on the love story. It's okay if it is not your cup of tea, but you can't say is crap or that it was unnecessary.
the mum reading to her children, the elderly couple and the band continuing playing music are what get me every time and make me bawl my eyes out
When this first movie came out, everyone in the theater started crying! This movie was amazing.
I would love to have experienced that, but I was still in kindergarten.
I still remember when I saw this for the first time in the cinema.
When I got home and lied on bed, I still could feel that I was one of the passengers on the ship.
It was shocking my heart and mind at the same time. And I'll never forget that feeling.
Seriously, if the floating door was already somewhat under water with only one person on it, why do people think it could've held two? Rose was also practically frozen, the only thing keeping her alive was the promise she made to Jack. Jack wanted to save her first and foremost, he probably knew he was gonna die but Rose probably didn't. He couldn't get on the door or both of them would've been dead. Also, Rose was raised to never question a man's word, especially the one that she hoped would be her husband in the future. Jack wasn't the type to abuse that power (probably what made her to fall in love with him in the first place) but still, he had made a decision and she accepted it. It's called respect.
don't forget they were running in the freezing water and then wet clothes long before they jumped in into the sea, so it's more than likely (i wouldn't know as i'm not an expert) hypothermia was already starting to set in .
THANK YOU! That whole "there was room for Jack, Rose was so selfish" argument is incredibly dumb. She went back for him when she was about to get on a lifeboat TWICE, DAMMIT!!
"He's got a gun. Why isn't anyone tackling him?" Dude, the ship's bloody sinking. I think people are more concerned with surviving.

BEST REACTION FOR THIS MOMENT
For me it's the greatest jewel of the world of cinema
, the best romantic movie ever created by Hollywood.
The music but it in the perfect time with the scenes they knew how to mold in such a way that it lasted 10 years undefeated.
It will be my number one romantic movie ever.
I 100% agree. My favorite movie.
Still can’t believe you have never seen this before. Loving the content ❤️
It's a hard moment to see but in the ending scene, the Captain is the last one to clap, just like he was the last one to leave the ship.
To answer your question, they finally were able to find the titanic sometime in the 80s so about 70ish years after. James Cameron actually created a shitload of technology and furthered titanic research and knowledge by a lot when he did this movie because he went all out on wanting to be as historically accurate as possible out of respect for the families (didn’t really succeed in the case of officer murdoch but still).
Watching Sean get so worked up over all this is the best. It’s entertaining and heartbreaking and golden😂💕👏🏽
the time the movie used to sink the ship was the actual amount of time it took for the real ship to sink. cameron wanted the audience to think about what they may do or how they would use that time
No that's not true. It took 2 hours 40 minutes for Titanic to sink, the film is 3 hours 15 minutes long. The ship struck the iceberg well over the half way point of the film.
This is my favorite movie ever. I've watched it countless times and I'm always like "I hope this time they don't hit the iceberg". I know it's silly, but I think it is the same feeling you described about Jack: even though you know he dies, you're still rooting for him. Now can you see why millions of women fell in love with Jack? lol. I really loved your reactions, and every time you said "oh, that's a meme!" or "oh, this is THE pose!" reminded me of another Leo DiCaprio meme, when he's sitting on a couch and pointing at the screen.
There's actually a statue monument for the band that kept playing.
New drinking game: take a shot whenever they mention the Titanic being unsinkable
No, take a shot whenever someone says "Rose" or "Jack"
Man you get it, this move is one of my all time favorites. I'm gonna watch it again now. The cinematography and this still holds its own. The things you said you liked about it are all the reasons why I still love this film.
One of the best movie commentaries I ever seen was highly entertained!! Loved this reaction!! Idk how have you never seen this??? Titanic is Iconic!!! It’s absolutely incredible and timeless!! It’s more then just a romance movie!!! It will live on forever! Literally I can watch this movie over and over and not get tired!! All the details were spot on and the acting is phenomenal!! Plus the romantic story just adds on to its charm, Jack and Rose were perfect! This movie just has something special:) was so heartbreaking to see so many people die when they could of been saved. But that’s how it happened in real life which sucks.
Yeah, I remember when I watched for the first time, being only ten, I thought they just found the Titanic. Took me a while to realize "Right, this isn't 1985, this is 1996. They already know the Titanic is there, plus it makes sense for Rose to now be 100 when she was 17 in 1912."
“I know this film is old, but I’m highly entertained.”Because old movies without super hero’s, car chases, and explosions can’t be entertaining? Haha most of the best and iconic movies of all time are older. Also 1997 isn’t that old. This took the top spot from Jurassic Park which came out in 93. And both are still better than 90% of the trash that’s released today.
When did he ever say that? Don't put words in his mouth to make a point, just make it
I love that everyone has the same reactions at certain parts. It's a testament to how well this movie is made
The reason why they keep saying it's unsinkable is because they said it about the ship often back then. It was a big thing about the ship.
this whole movie is just absolute magic. the characters, the settings, the visuals... everything. and i agree with how it definitely doesn't feel that dated... the film is such good quality that it feels like it could of been made in 2019, but it was actually made over twenty years ago. and i think the love story between jack and rose was the absolute perfect way to deliver the movie - it brought attention to the titanic while also having an amazing story that sucked the audience in. if it was just another documentary it wouldn't have been as beloved, but the movie managed to tell a great story while also showing a fairly accurate version of the titanic and what happened the night of the sinking.. crazy.
i'm just in love with this movie man, the ending makes me cry every time.
Great reaction! Your face when Rose was practicing with the ax 😂😂😂
I bet Jack's reaction was the same, but kept a poker face lol.
Finally someone who really pays attention to the film and makes only intelligent comments.
When it was released back in 1997 it was the real deal. Everywhere you looked there they were, in posters, magazines, interviews.
I got my copy of the film on a special edition on VHS (a box with two VHS tapes, lots of high quality mini posters and more) and after the final credits there was the video of "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion. Although it's been 25 years (yeah, I know) I still have this box and it plays perfectly.
Loved your reaction and your comments.
Thanks for posting it.
"oh! she's a meme that's where I know her from."
boyyyy really lmaoo, welcome to the 21st century people
btw loved this video!
It is just amazing to me how watching a movie like this with a storyline so powerful, you are so into the event and the time that you completely forget where you are, what is happening around you, and even what you know will happen later in the movie. You just completely get sucked into the movie like you are apart of it and it is amazing.
I love this movie, it is so powerful and emotional.
At the beginning you were like ``I dont know why I thought that was a baby," I was like ``no, not yet, but wait"
Same.
I'm 43. This movie hit theaters in November 1997 and came out to Blockbuster Video on midnight Sept 1, 1998. My birthday. I'll never forget how long the line was to get in the store for a simple VHS copy. It was like an event.
Titanic is a classic. I saw it in the theatres when I was 7. Been my fave movie ever since.
Everyone cries for Leo but no one cries for the 1000+ people who perished.
I didn't even cry about Jack I just cried about the 1000 people who died
We didn't follow the other people for 2 hours
I didn’t cry for no one
the scene where the kids were being tucked in as they sunk made me cry before jack he just made me cry worse
That’s what I’m saying
It's such a beautiful thing to watch your heart open to everything you watch. Thanks for another excellent video, Sean! 🌊
I can't believe I still cried even after knowing perfectly what would happen, after watching it so many times before, and even after watching parts of it while you talked in between... It still hits me so hard, and the fact that it happened in real life, people actually died...
Ever since I was a kid I have loved all things Titanic. I watched a documentary a couple months back about how it sank. Apparently before the ship set sail. It had a fire on the very lower part of it. They shut off the chamber it was located and refused to reschedule the maiden voyage date. The iron was dented and damaged even before they set sail. So it was already weakened when the iceberg hit it... Whether that is 100% accurate or not I don't know. I find it fascinating either way. In the name of money, they ignored the requests of the engineers and continued on with their plans. Titanic's sister ship also sank.
You’re the first person I watched react to this and add the scene of Rose saying she could scream in the middle of a room and no one would look up. I always loved the small dialog she has.
What about the Lord of the Rings ??
Them mentioning it's unsinkable isn't just for foreshadowing (seems like you're annoyed they keep setting that up), the Titanic was marketed as being unsinkable. It's what made it such a massive, historic event when it sunk.
10 Things I Hate About You. please. It a great movie.
Titanic cleaned up at the Oscars that year. Best Picture, Best Soundtrack, Best Cinematography, Best Director/Producer and several animation and effects awards. My favorite movie...the soundtrack still makes me cry.
Titanic is in a three-way tie with Ben-Hur (1959) and Lord of the Rings Return of the King (2003) for the most Oscars ever won (11)
I do find that 'poor' groups of people getting together to party have a lot more relaxed fun than 'rich' groups who are too busy trying to impress one another that they forget to actually have any fun.
they be like "fun is for peasants"
No matter how much I rewatch this movie, that ending always makes me shed some tears. It is that good.
i agree, the film overall is just unbelievable. its the only film i would sit down and listen to directors commentary on the dvd. I've even listened to the commentary on the deleted scenes, no film has done this.
Actually most of those bodies that were recovered were buried in Halifax NS, are gone now. Water got under the graves and destroyed them all. They just couldn't get away from the water.
I mean all bodies would gone anyway, with or without water. Decomposition, you know.
i’m so happy that you noticed a bunch of little details in the movie that a lot of other people missed! another cool little detail is that the scene of the ship hitting the iceberg goes for 37 seconds, the exact amount time it was in real life!
I just Love how he enjoyed it so much. Titanic is a timeless movie.
Yo.. I was in 5th grade when this movie came out... I'm a 33 grown ass man and this movie still fucks me up.. Not only was the plot and the love story incredible but the latter half of this movie realizing that, as intense as it was, the real life encounters of the passengers must've been so insane to try to understand. Definitely on my Mount Rushmore of films.
You gotta watch the "The lord of the rings" trilogy!
Malin Bettels yes. Yes. Yes! This needs to happen!
The Hobbit first!
your reactions are so genuine, so refreshing
