One thing people always forget to realize when Rose is on the door, if he were to squeeze next to her on it, their weight combined would partially submerge them in the ice water. In the end they both would have died of hypothermia. She possibly only survived because she was kept out of the water when it really mattered. I forever stand by it that he could not have been on the door with her.
Exactly, thank you! It’s an issue of buoyancy. The MythBusters tested it and literally the only way to keep them afloat was if they took their life jackets off and tied them to the bottom of the doorframe to keep it afloat
I'm with you a 100 percent. It would've toppled, but even though they would be able to find the balance, the weight would be too much. Although I wouldn't mind an actual experiment. Someone's bought the door off an auction this very year. 😅
@@ianp1986 Yup! And even so, that water was cold enough to kill people within 10-15 minutes of being submerged. Doing all of that would’ve wasted precious time that needed to be dedicated to surviving. So Jack makes the choice to let her be on the door and to sacrifice himself. You can see Jack’s facial expression change when the door flips the first time and he helps Rose back on. You see him deliberate in his head on what to do and pause for a second, before he decides to stay by Rose and sacrifice himself for her. It’s very subtle, but noticeable.
Yep. My wife actually had a relative that had a ticket for the Titanic. On his way to the docks, he fell into mud and had to run home quickly to change his clothes. By the time he had changed and made his way back down to the docks, the boarding had ended and he missed the departure. It’s bizarre to think that my wife may not be here today had he not fallen in that mud.
I wonder if it’s based on a group of people who were meant to board the Titanic, they were drinking in a pub nearby and lost track of time. They were late and denied to be let on the ship. They must’ve felt so lucky after hearing of it sinking
Molly forever after this was called “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”. She did amazing things for working families, women right to vote, and France after WWI.
@@Angelicwings1 Indeed, she was never actually called "Molly" until many, many years later. She was always known as Margaret to all her peers back then.
@@Der_wahre_C17 Wrong. She was called that because of her tenacity, and also she was never on any other shipwreck, just the Titanic. You're probably thinking of Violet Jessop.
The accent Kate was attempting was an old East Coast (US) "posh". If you'll watch older Hollywood movies (silver screen era), you'll notice the actors using a similar accent and mannerisms.
Dude a man is allowed to cry and be emotional. Down with the toxic masculinity! I appreciate that as a man you care enough for your eyes to get sweaty with respect. Real men feel emotions and aren’t ashamed. I have nothing but respect for you.
Toxic masculinity has nothing to do with what you're getting at. "Pride" is what makes a man (or anyone) ashamed to cry in public -- women on here apologize for getting emotional too.
Thank you for doing this. My favorite character was Mr. Andrews. Though it is NOT portrayed here, it was said that during the last moment he was seen throwing deck chair overboard, to help the people in the water. And when he designed Titanic, he even included water stations so that the men working in the bunkers, could have easy access to drinking water to alleviate the harsh & hot reality of their work. Sad moment in history.
“Old money” and “new money” is just the difference between someone who is rich through inheritance (didn’t work for it), and someone who is rich because they themselves made it big. Molly Brown would be “new money” because she was 26 years old when her family came into wealth, due to a successful mining business that she was also employed by. Molly Brown knew the value of hard work and earning your fortune, whereas Rose’s family just lived off the fortune earned by previous generations of their family and didn’t have to lift a finger.
My understanding is that James Cameron constructed the sinking sequence so that it played out in the same timeframe as the actual sinking. The amount of movie run time between when the iceberg was hit, and when the ship sinks is the same as it was in real life.
You may have confused a fact or two. The truth is that the entire length of the flashback scenes put together (2hrs 40mins) is equal to the time it took the ship to sink.
While that may be true, witnesses report that someone was shot, and I believe they said it was one of the staff. May have not been Murdoch, but per witnesses, it was definitely someone.
I LOVE the Bernard Hill memorium. What a man and actor. Also, the depiction of Bruce Ismay is not historically accurate. First, he DID NOT push Captain Smith to light the final boilers. It was the Titanic's first voyage, he would have known better and cared more about the ship and the people than making any headlines. That rumor was started when a woman, whose testimony was used in court and twisted to fit the "coward Ismay" narrative, overheard a conversation between the two in which Ismay was talking about how well the ship was making speed. He also caught a lot of shit at the time because he got off the ship and survived. People will tell you he got off when they were still boarding women and children only, but the truth is he had been helping people all night. After the third to last lifeboat was lowered was around the time he thought about actually escaping the ship. A lot of the hate against him was the cause of a smear campaign started by an American reporter named William Randolph Hearst, who had a personal vendetta against Ismay.
Hearst got his karma payback. His lover left him after he built her the castle in San Simeon, California. Also, his granddaughter, Patti Hearst, became famous in the 70s as possibly part of that terrorist group.
The portrayal of Bruce Ismay in this movie is quite betraying of his actual actions, in the movie he’s painted as just trying to save his own skin to get on a boat, but in reality he spent most of the night assisting crew members, helping women and children into boats, and only boarding a lifeboat once the deck was clear of any women/children who wanted to board. Also in Officer Murdochs case, he’s portrayed as takin a bribe, shooting two men, then himself, where in reality he most likely didn’t fire his gun once, there’s multiple accounts to back up that he did not commit suicide and was swamped over nearby collapsible A, he most likely died performing his duties rather than by suicide
She’s 100 years old. It’s ok that she died. For cinematic effect it’s great that she died when and where she did. In real life it seems she shared a life and raised a family with someone else that she loved, so her afterlife should involve him. But either way the ending is beautiful, not sad. She fully lived another 83 years. How many of us can say the same?
Kate Winslet is English in real life, she quoted that she didn’t like the American accent that she used for Titanic and if she could film it all over again, she would speak differently. Leo and Kate starred in another film together about a decade later, called Revolutionary Road, it’s not the same as Titanic though because their characters Jack and Rose loved each other and in this movie, they hate each other and Kate uses a different American accent
I wish Revolutionary Road was more well known. I mean, it’s no Titanic (although it includes three Titanic stars), but it is still a very good movie. Leo and Kate still had great chemistry, even though it was a very different kind of relationship being portrayed. Toxic AF. 😂 An impressive cast - Leo, Kate, Kathy Bates, Michael Shannon, David Harbour, and Kathryn Hahn (love her in comedies…she is hilarious, but it was nice to see her in a dramatic role).
1. Titanic's rudder wasn't too small. Olympic, her sister ship, had the same sized rudder and she survived all the way to the 1930's 2. The boiler room had escape ladders for when the watertight doors are closed. They just don't use it here for the sake of tension XD
Props to Molly & Mr. Gutenheim. Molly the most Grounded wealthy first class passenger and Mr. Gutenheim, who knew he was not getting off the Titanic, so might as well look his best, With one last Brandy.
Dude... I'm commenting before I've even watched this... I CANNOT wait to see your reaction! This has been my favorite movie of all time for over a decade. I saw it 7 times in the theater... yes, I did. LOL I just can't wait to see your take!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Margaret (Molly) Brown might be the most likable character in this entire movie. And she was in fact a real person on the ship and what was shown in the movie she actually did. Was was the only person on any of the boats who was able to convince people to go back for more survivors
This may not be the film where you will cry the first time you watch it, but this is the film where you will cry from the very beginning when you watch it for the second, third time.) Every time a sunken Titanic looks for a second like it did in 1912, it gets me cry like crazy... Every time I see the beginning, I cry - because my memories return to the ship with Rose, to Jack. 💔
I read a comment on YT at one point which has stayed with me and unfortunately i can't credit the person who said it, as i can't remember who it was, but it summed Jack and Roses whole love story up perfectly. "At the beginning of the movie Jack wanted to live and Rose wanted to die. In the end, Jack died for her and Rose lived for him". That one comment hit me hard.
I was born in '92. I remember watching this movie as a kid. Now, watching you react to this is crazy. So much you didn't know about this incredible movie! But I think you appreciated it, bro. They way you were grinning in some parts warmed my heart.
Fun Fact for BTS: The water is actually as cold as the ocean and everyone but KAte Winslet wore a wetsuit, she almost quit because she got sick due to her refusal to wear one. So when the actors look really cold it's not good acting they are actually really cold.
What do you mean "as cold as the ocean"? You're not trying to say the water they filmed in was as cold as the water Titanic sank in, right? Because that would be completely false. They filmed in a water tank, with water temps at 10C, but when filming with the actors actually in the water, they cranked it to 26C. The water Titanic sank in was -2C.
Three scenes that were improvised: 1. I'm the King of the World 2. Cal throwing the table 3. Rose spitting on Cal by the end (she was supposed to punch him)
Sorry nothing of this is true, you can read the “Trivia” section of the movie page on IMDB. 1. The “king of the world” was actually a scene that Leo was hesitant to do but Cameron convinced him. 2. Cal throwing the table was not improvised because it involved breaking glasses and it would be totally unsafe to involve another fellow actor (Kate) in a scene as such without a warning. And, 3) nope, they used egg whites so this is not a real spit. And they actually did it with several takes.
I saw this in the theatre. Small screen doesn’t convey the sheer size of the ship. When you see the propeller in scale with the people in the water…insane
When they shut the water tight doors in real life, no one got trapped as titanic had this in mind, you just take some ladders and stairs and get to higher ground to the top of the bulkhead and then escape, also the bulkheads did not go all the way up the ship, they ended at a certain point.
i love your reactions! i came from watching your whole LOTR reaction, i'm so glad you enjoyed my favorite trilogy! you should add "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Truman Show" to your list! would love to watch alongside!
My favourite film of all time. Apologies if people have mentioned these things before: Molly was a real person, along with John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim and a few others for passengers. Ismay, Thomas Andrews etc were real people too Ismay is always made out to be a villain but to be fair, he was helping load lifeboats and only got in at the last minute when nobody else was there to take a space. Also, he would have had no actual say in increasing the speed of the ship etc There’s no evidence that the gates were locked to keep third class people down below. The main issue was that it was a complete maze down there and a lot of them didn’t speak English so struggled to find their way to the boat deck Apparently it’s “up to us” whether Rose dies at the end or is just asleep but she totally dies. The only people there at the end were people who died on the ship If you’re interested in the real thing, I have to recommend the Oceanliner Designs UA-cam channel
The gates below were locked to keep all three classes separate from one another, but they were only waist-high. Back in 1995 and 1996 we neither had access to the OG blueprints nor had we entered the ship deep enough to verify. There are pictures of the tall gates that reach up to the ceiling, so we assumed these gates were the same ones separating classes from each other. But it turns out those tall gates (the ones you see in the film) were only for keeping crew areas separate from passengers, not for keeping passengers separate from one another or confined to an area. The waist-high gates separating classes were mostly left closed and locked because many stewards, who initially were to return below to help guide more passengers up to the boat deck, became busy with commands and orders up above and did not return. These gates could easily be climbed over by most people, though. The biggest issue is that many of the passengers down below simply got lost in the unfamiliar maze of corridors
Just so you know, the doors could still be opened manually and most of the engineers actually chose to fight to keeps the ship afloat as long as possible. Most of them made it out of the initial impact. Also people stuck in 3rd glass were generally locked away from other classes so they’re not seen by “the better”. They panicked and didn’t unlock the gates. By the time some of them made it up there, all the boats were already gone
There are several things that James Cameron changed from historical fact. He even had to pay money to some of the families, Ismay's among them, due to their portrayal in the film. Also, not having enough lifeboats for all passengers wasn't uncommon, because the boats were meant to ferry the passengers back and forth from one ship to a rescuing ship. The lifeboats were not designed for long stays on the ocean and wouldn't have lasted long. Also, the furnace workers actually had escape ladders they could use, so they had other means of escape. Some things are done accurately in the film. I watched a video made my an expert on the Titanic, and he pointed out literally EVERYTHING. Even with it's inconsistencies, it's still his favourite version of Titanic ever made.
If you read about the production of Titanic, it's unbelievable that Cameron actually made it as brilliant as he did. Literally everything was working against him. Just for this film I think Cameron is one of the greatest filmmakers in existence.
I saw this when it released, and I was nerding out with seeing Titanic come to life when that sweet transition happens. Such an incredible movie. ❤ Melancholy was the term used back then to describe someone who we would nowadays identify as depressed.
About your comment with similarities between titanic and avatar, I TOTALLY noticed it too. This was my favorite movie as a kid growing up. Even now as an adult I watch it every now and then. My first time watching avatar movies was after the 2nd one came out. There are TONS of similar themes borrowed from Titanic. But it made avatar that much more enjoyable, because it was somewhat nostalgic
25:45 Poor little angel. You can see her at the end when Rose passes on and returns to the titanic when they open the door, little Cora is in the right. RIP
For what it’s worth, most documentaries indicate the movie exaggerated the situation for third class passengers. Yes, they did load first class passengers onto the life boats first. However, there were not crew members standing guard and denying third class passengers access to the stairs and upper levels. Instead, there was extremely poor communications and many third class passengers were confused where to go. There were few crew members to redirect people to safer areas. Or many had no idea how dire the situation was until it was too late.
If you’re ever in Belfast, the Titanic museum is a must-see. So much great information about every aspect of the ship and the sinking, and the domino effect of the series of events and mistakes made that made it into the disaster that it was
Truth is stranger than fiction. I would highly encourage people who watch this movie to research on the actual sinking because it was far more complicated than the movie depicts. There are a lot of reasons behind certain things that seem obvious now, but where quite normal at the time. There weren't enough lifeboats because 1: the Atlantic Lanes were very busy and stricken ships would typically not far away from other ships. They had new Wireless technology which was another tool in their arsenal to help with such a situation as well as fireworks, Morse lamps and lockouts. 2: When a ship is sinking it often tilts to one side often rendering one side of the ship's lifeboats inoperable for standard deployment. They would have needed more than double the amount of overall lifeboats they had on BOTH sides of the ship. To this day that (as far as I know) this still isn't put into practice. 3: Lifeboats back then weren't seaworthy as they are today. They easily flooded (a couple actually had a foot or so of water in them), capsized and weren't equipped with any kind of survival gear/technology. They were primarily used for trasport from a stricken ship to a rescue ship. 4: Titanic actually had more lifeboats than was required by the board of trade at the time. Thomas Andrews was well known for his concern for safety both of the workers in the Harland and Wolff ship yard and the safety of his ship and passengers. 5: Titanic itself was considered a type of lifeboat within itself with his water tight compartments, pumps and double bottom hull. Titanic's sister ship RMS Britannic actually sank in less than half the time Titanic did and it had improved safety features. Titanic actually look 2 hours and 20 minutes to sink which was actually fairly slow. This whole thing about it not having enough lifeboats because of greed, classism, too much concern for aesthetics or simple carelessness is quite frankly bollocks. Now yes, if they had more lifeboats more lives would have been saved, but Titanic's story that night was as unlikely a scenario as they could have foreseen at the time. I love this movie, but it's very black and white on it's depiction of people and events sometimes. 38:45 No they could easilly escape up the ladders.
Just a few small corrections, because you're spot-on with practically all your points; 1 - Titanic took 2hrs and 40mins to sink 2 - More lifeboats *probably* wouldn't have saved any more lives. It took about 40 minutes after the iceberg collision to determine with certainty that the ship was going to sink, and they immediately began preparing lifeboats. Despite this quick reaction, they still ran out of time. You can even see it in the film - while the crew is trying desperately to prepare Collapsible B on the port side and Collapsible A on the starboard side, the ship begins its final plunge. Collapsible B floats off the deck upside-down as men nearby try and fail to turn it upright, and Collapsible B is almost pulled down with the ship, being flooded with about a foot of water before being cut free (you can see one of the sailors desperately asking for a knife as the bridge submerges and they find themselves waist deep in the water. Sadly, from this point onward, Titanic only lived another 6 or 7 minutes. Not enough time to get any other boats loaded and launched, not to mention the increasing incline of the decks as she sank. Sadly, more lifeboats would have simply gone down with the ship.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 The only thing I would say is that Britannic sank a lot quicker and did have enough lifeboats. They could have floated a lot of them off if they had more and didn't have the time to launch them orderly, but of course suction from a sinking ship is a big issue also. It can easily drag those little boats down and flip them. Lusitania had a lot of boats actually fall and land on people in the water from doing the job too quickly and other factors. It's a pickle for sure. I think it's very easy for me to say this tho without the context of the chaos of the night. Many people clambering for positions in the boats could have easily caused a lot of death, injury and just more chaos in general not to mention damage or destruction of the boats, capsizing, swamping and flooding etc so yeah I think you're right ultimately on that point. Man it's so pleasant to have a civilised convo on youtube :D
These days they stow inflatable life rafts on boats, like the one used in Castaway (starring Tom Hanks). They can store hundreds in cardboard boxes stuffed in a closet if need be, enough for every person on board a ship to survive. There's really no excuse these days for people to drown due to not enough life boats.
The old couple on their bed holding each other as the ship went down was inspired by the real couple who owned Macys department store in New York, they were last seen holding onto each other as she would not leave her husband to die alone. So I guess the you jump I jump was sort of inspired by them too. There was actually a ship about a hour or so away who heard the call, saw the flares and their captain was sleeping at the time. They woke him to explain what was happening and he said to stay on course ( unfortunately they had to follow orders or be shot or imprisoned ) it would have saved so many people had it got there. Many of the crew took their own lives as couldn't deal with the shame of what happened which is also tragic. The captain was ostracised by society because he his actions too so didn't have much good life either after this either.
I remember seeing this vividly at the cinema, I was 12 and was totally obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio. I saw it 8 times at the cinema and have seen it many times since, I think it holds up in time as one of the greatest all time movies such as Gone with the Wind used to be referred to as.
I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters. I started crying when one of the smoke stacks fell and didn't stop till the movie ended. I just remember my shirt collar was soaked and it was winter and pretty cold when we got outside around midnight but I gave my coat to my sister because I felt nothing but devastation. Great movie, it really pulls you in and then spits you out.
I remember in the midst of all the horror I just kept thinking, "This REALLY happened. I am actually watching how people died that night." I was devastated and couldn't stop crying, like you said. And we watched in a mall theater. The theater was packed, but the mall was empty when we left. As we all filed out silently into the night, all you could hear were sniffles. It was so sad and strange. I'll never forget... or should I say, "I'll never let go".
The people who got locked in the boiler rooms didn't die. There were other ways to exit the boiler rooms like a ladder that went up the side of the boilers and over thew watertight bulkheads. Those ladders either exited onto Scotland Road on E Deck or out to the base of the funnels
best creation I have watched of this ever, went through the emotional rollercoaster with you as if its also my first time watching, brilliant commentary, subscribed!!
Another great reaction man. This movie is pretty great. I was the same way about watching it. You know about the history . J. Cameron did great with it. 👏👏😊
I ve cryed so much waching this movie. I don' t know how can you cry even after you saw this movie more then 11 times 😂😂😂😂. So let the alergies take over your not the only one😂😂😂
Molly brown helped a lot of people on that fateful night, according to reports she helped organise the boats and transfer passengers from one boat to another so that there was more room for more people
Thank you for your content. Im rewatching my favorites with what feels like a new friend. I’ve had a bad few days; my cat broke out of my basement window and encountered a coyote. I couldn’t get outside fast enough. All I found was his collar torn off in the grass. I look forward to your videos and watching movies “with” you.
Thank you for reuploading this - I really enjoyed your reaction! I would like to see you react to "Hachi - A Dog's Tale" sometime in the future. Based on what I saw from you I think you will appreciate that movie, too. It's only very loosely inspired by a real story but still very emotional. People say it's very sad and some of them even say that they won't watch it a second time and although I also have to cry every time I see someone reacting to it I think it's about love and how pure it is. I enjoyed your intellectual, thoughtful and empathetic approach to the people in "Titanic" and would like to see how you react to "Hachi" as well. Just putting it out there for you to possibly see this recommendation. Again: Thank you for you effort to make this reaction available to all of us!
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed this. Oh, and this is not a cruise, it's Trans-Atlantic travel. Basic accommodations for the poor and extravagant accommodations for the rich.
To be fair, Titanic's accommodations for the poor were remarkable for the time. Most ships housed all of them in one space, and expected them to bring food aboard for themselves. Titanic provided private rooms (though they housed multiple people), several private lounging areas and a few personal promenades, full course meals with stewards to see to their needs, and bathroom facilities as well as sink basins in many of the staterooms. For many of the poorer passengers, that was the first time they ever experienced running water.
Not the Seinfeld music LMAO Titanic teaches us the importance of government regulations... the number of lifeboats should be the same or higher than the number of people.
This is one of my favorite films and I loved your reaction. Not only is it sad because so many people died but it’s also sad because it shows the evil that is capitalism and you see how lower class ppl are treated 😢
this is one of the most successful movies of all time for a reason. watched it in the cinema back then 3 times and hundreds of times afterwards... a classic.
James Cameron built a gigantic set for this movie. I can only imagine being an extra and having the chance to stand on a life size recreation of the titanic
Omg, such a movie with you - need to make tea and snacks (i didnt watch the original reaction). Actually i also didn't watch full movie till i was 25 or 26. As kid i found love stories boring, and later was not interested 😁 As an adult my reaction - there was enough space for both of them! Love your reaction, and still waiting for Hobbit.
One thing people always forget to realize when Rose is on the door, if he were to squeeze next to her on it, their weight combined would partially submerge them in the ice water. In the end they both would have died of hypothermia. She possibly only survived because she was kept out of the water when it really mattered.
I forever stand by it that he could not have been on the door with her.
Exactly, thank you! It’s an issue of buoyancy. The MythBusters tested it and literally the only way to keep them afloat was if they took their life jackets off and tied them to the bottom of the doorframe to keep it afloat
I'm with you a 100 percent. It would've toppled, but even though they would be able to find the balance, the weight would be too much. Although I wouldn't mind an actual experiment. Someone's bought the door off an auction this very year. 😅
It wasn't a door - it was the frame around them - that's why it wasn't as sturdy
@@ianp1986 Yup! And even so, that water was cold enough to kill people within 10-15 minutes of being submerged. Doing all of that would’ve wasted precious time that needed to be dedicated to surviving. So Jack makes the choice to let her be on the door and to sacrifice himself. You can see Jack’s facial expression change when the door flips the first time and he helps Rose back on. You see him deliberate in his head on what to do and pause for a second, before he decides to stay by Rose and sacrifice himself for her. It’s very subtle, but noticeable.
Those guys that lost their tickets to Leo are so so lucky and they didn't even know it. Truly a blessing in disguise
Yep. My wife actually had a relative that had a ticket for the Titanic. On his way to the docks, he fell into mud and had to run home quickly to change his clothes. By the time he had changed and made his way back down to the docks, the boarding had ended and he missed the departure. It’s bizarre to think that my wife may not be here today had he not fallen in that mud.

Dude, this is a movie... m o v i e 👀@@cally1941
you know he was saying sorry to his friend for hitting him xD
this movie makes me cry every time, doesn’t matter if i’m watching it or watching a reaction. it gets me every single time
100% was hoping i wouldn’t cry watching this reaction, but yet here i am 😂
SAME
Oddly, I typically ONLY cry at reaction videos, not the films themselves 😅
Same here! I am bawling

YES. The transatlantic accent!
Trans-Atlantic Philadelphia high society accent. Wealthy women on the east coast still spoke like that all way into the 1950s.
"Are you ready to go back to Titanic Rose?"
....."OMG they are going to take her down there?"
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dude a man is allowed to cry and be emotional. Down with the toxic masculinity!
I appreciate that as a man you care enough for your eyes to get sweaty with respect.
Real men feel emotions and aren’t ashamed. I have nothing but respect for you.
Toxic masculinity has nothing to do with what you're getting at. "Pride" is what makes a man (or anyone) ashamed to cry in public -- women on here apologize for getting emotional too.
Thank you for doing this. My favorite character was Mr. Andrews.

And when he designed Titanic, he even included water stations so that the men working in the bunkers, could have easy access to drinking water to alleviate the harsh & hot reality of their work.
Sad moment in history.
Rose: "I'm flying!"
Me: That's not flying. That's *standing* ...with STYLE!
You: "I hope her (Rose's mother) boat sinks." Me: "But Molly's on that boat!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Old money” and “new money” is just the difference between someone who is rich through inheritance (didn’t work for it), and someone who is rich because they themselves made it big.
Molly Brown would be “new money” because she was 26 years old when her family came into wealth, due to a successful mining business that she was also employed by.
Molly Brown knew the value of hard work and earning your fortune, whereas Rose’s family just lived off the fortune earned by previous generations of their family and didn’t have to lift a finger.
My understanding is that James Cameron constructed the sinking sequence so that it played out in the same timeframe as the actual sinking. The amount of movie run time between when the iceberg was hit, and when the ship sinks is the same as it was in real life.
And the clock on the stairs was stopped at the time the ship sank. 👍😉
James did a wonderful job at it. Although survivors said the ship sanks super slowly.
You may have confused a fact or two. The truth is that the entire length of the flashback scenes put together (2hrs 40mins) is equal to the time it took the ship to sink.
A quick note about Will Murdoch. He never shot anyone. James Cameron apologized to his family for the way he portrayed him.
Took my comment 😮
While that may be true, witnesses report that someone was shot, and I believe they said it was one of the staff. May have not been Murdoch, but per witnesses, it was definitely someone.
I LOVE the Bernard Hill memorium. What a man and actor.
Also, the depiction of Bruce Ismay is not historically accurate. First, he DID NOT push Captain Smith to light the final boilers. It was the Titanic's first voyage, he would have known better and cared more about the ship and the people than making any headlines. That rumor was started when a woman, whose testimony was used in court and twisted to fit the "coward Ismay" narrative, overheard a conversation between the two in which Ismay was talking about how well the ship was making speed. He also caught a lot of shit at the time because he got off the ship and survived. People will tell you he got off when they were still boarding women and children only, but the truth is he had been helping people all night. After the third to last lifeboat was lowered was around the time he thought about actually escaping the ship. A lot of the hate against him was the cause of a smear campaign started by an American reporter named William Randolph Hearst, who had a personal vendetta against Ismay.
Hearst got his karma payback. His lover left him after he built her the castle in San Simeon, California. Also, his granddaughter, Patti Hearst, became famous in the 70s as possibly part of that terrorist group.
@@shilohauraable I actually didn't know that. Thank you.
"This is a wholesome ass film-" he says right before shit hits the fan 😄
The portrayal of Bruce Ismay in this movie is quite betraying of his actual actions, in the movie he’s painted as just trying to save his own skin to get on a boat, but in reality he spent most of the night assisting crew members, helping women and children into boats, and only boarding a lifeboat once the deck was clear of any women/children who wanted to board.
Also in Officer Murdochs case, he’s portrayed as takin a bribe, shooting two men, then himself, where in reality he most likely didn’t fire his gun once, there’s multiple accounts to back up that he did not commit suicide and was swamped over nearby collapsible A, he most likely died performing his duties rather than by suicide
The overwhelming majority of the movie is fiction, after all. Despite Cameron's research, Titanic is about 90% Hollywood and 10% fact.
They both for a raw deal. Ismay struggled the rest of his life Wirth guilt and Murdochs family complained about his portrayal.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 I'd say it's 30% fact at least. He got so many things right despite altering things for the sake of Hollywood drama
She’s 100 years old. It’s ok that she died. For cinematic effect it’s great that she died when and where she did. In real life it seems she shared a life and raised a family with someone else that she loved, so her afterlife should involve him. But either way the ending is beautiful, not sad. She fully lived another 83 years. How many of us can say the same?
Fun fact: the actress who played “old” Rose was 86 at the time and lived to make it to 100. 😊
(and died an old woman, warm in her bed)
fun fact the famous S.O.S was new and the only time the radio Operator used it trying to get help for Titanic
Its not the space on that door, its the weight ! It couldn‘t handle two grown people!!!
Kate Winslet is English in real life, she quoted that she didn’t like the American accent that she used for Titanic and if she could film it all over again, she would speak differently. Leo and Kate starred in another film together about a decade later, called Revolutionary Road, it’s not the same as Titanic though because their characters Jack and Rose loved each other and in this movie, they hate each other and Kate uses a different American accent
I wish Revolutionary Road was more well known. I mean, it’s no Titanic (although it includes three Titanic stars), but it is still a very good movie. Leo and Kate still had great chemistry, even though it was a very different kind of relationship being portrayed. Toxic AF. 😂 An impressive cast - Leo, Kate, Kathy Bates, Michael Shannon, David Harbour, and Kathryn Hahn (love her in comedies…she is hilarious, but it was nice to see her in a dramatic role).
1. Titanic's rudder wasn't too small. Olympic, her sister ship, had the same sized rudder and she survived all the way to the 1930's
2. The boiler room had escape ladders for when the watertight doors are closed. They just don't use it here for the sake of tension XD
he actually did go down the actual wreck to film it for the film which is amazing
The triple 'Shut UP!' - So good
That accent she's going for is East Coast Aristocracy.
Props to Molly & Mr. Gutenheim. Molly the most Grounded wealthy first class passenger and Mr. Gutenheim, who knew he was not getting off the Titanic, so might as well look his best, With one last Brandy.
Dude... I'm commenting before I've even watched this... I CANNOT wait to see your reaction! This has been my favorite movie of all time for over a decade. I saw it 7 times in the theater... yes, I did. LOL I just can't wait to see your take!!!! 👏👏👏👏
YES. THANK YOU. I went to my playlist the other day to watch this, and I was SO sad it was gone! Thanks for reuploading. Best day ever.
Margaret (Molly) Brown might be the most likable character in this entire movie. And she was in fact a real person on the ship and what was shown in the movie she actually did. Was was the only person on any of the boats who was able to convince people to go back for more survivors
This may not be the film where you will cry the first time you watch it, but this is the film where you will cry from the very beginning when you watch it for the second, third time.) Every time a sunken Titanic looks for a second like it did in 1912, it gets me cry like crazy...
Every time I see the beginning, I cry - because my memories return to the ship with Rose, to Jack. 💔
I read a comment on YT at one point which has stayed with me and unfortunately i can't credit the person who said it, as i can't remember who it was, but it summed Jack and Roses whole love story up perfectly.
"At the beginning of the movie Jack wanted to live and Rose wanted to die. In the end, Jack died for her and Rose lived for him". That one comment hit me hard.
The 'lower class' mixed with the upper class at the end gets me every time 🤧
I was born in '92. I remember watching this movie as a kid. Now, watching you react to this is crazy. So much you didn't know about this incredible movie! But I think you appreciated it, bro. They way you were grinning in some parts warmed my heart.
The “cruise” was meant to be 7 days long but she hit the iceberg 4 days in.
Fun Fact for BTS: The water is actually as cold as the ocean and everyone but KAte Winslet wore a wetsuit, she almost quit because she got sick due to her refusal to wear one. So when the actors look really cold it's not good acting they are actually really cold.
What do you mean "as cold as the ocean"? You're not trying to say the water they filmed in was as cold as the water Titanic sank in, right? Because that would be completely false. They filmed in a water tank, with water temps at 10C, but when filming with the actors actually in the water, they cranked it to 26C. The water Titanic sank in was -2C.
Three scenes that were improvised:
1. I'm the King of the World
2. Cal throwing the table
3. Rose spitting on Cal by the end (she was supposed to punch him)
Sorry nothing of this is true, you can read the “Trivia” section of the movie page on IMDB.
1. The “king of the world” was actually a scene that Leo was hesitant to do but Cameron convinced him.
2. Cal throwing the table was not improvised because it involved breaking glasses and it would be totally unsafe to involve another fellow actor (Kate) in a scene as such without a warning.
And, 3) nope, they used egg whites so this is not a real spit. And they actually did it with several takes.
I saw this in the theatre. Small screen doesn’t convey the sheer size of the ship. When you see the propeller in scale with the people in the water…insane
When they shut the water tight doors in real life, no one got trapped as titanic had this in mind, you just take some ladders and stairs and get to higher ground to the top of the bulkhead and then escape, also the bulkheads did not go all the way up the ship, they ended at a certain point.
i love your reactions! i came from watching your whole LOTR reaction, i'm so glad you enjoyed my favorite trilogy!
you should add "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Truman Show" to your list! would love to watch alongside!
I love your reactions. You're so genuine and enjoyable to watch. Please make more videos! ❤
“You play stupid games you win stupid prizes” was such a savage comment 😂 I’m dead 🤣
Honestly you had me hollering the whole video. I had to cover my mouth to not wake up my roommates.
Molly brown is played by the legendary Oscar winning actress Kathy bates! She’s incredible
James Cameron did the drawing of Kate Winslet. He’s a talented so-and-so.
My favourite film of all time. Apologies if people have mentioned these things before:
Molly was a real person, along with John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim and a few others for passengers. Ismay, Thomas Andrews etc were real people too
Ismay is always made out to be a villain but to be fair, he was helping load lifeboats and only got in at the last minute when nobody else was there to take a space. Also, he would have had no actual say in increasing the speed of the ship etc
There’s no evidence that the gates were locked to keep third class people down below. The main issue was that it was a complete maze down there and a lot of them didn’t speak English so struggled to find their way to the boat deck
Apparently it’s “up to us” whether Rose dies at the end or is just asleep but she totally dies. The only people there at the end were people who died on the ship
If you’re interested in the real thing, I have to recommend the Oceanliner Designs UA-cam channel
The gates below were locked to keep all three classes separate from one another, but they were only waist-high. Back in 1995 and 1996 we neither had access to the OG blueprints nor had we entered the ship deep enough to verify.
There are pictures of the tall gates that reach up to the ceiling, so we assumed these gates were the same ones separating classes from each other. But it turns out those tall gates (the ones you see in the film) were only for keeping crew areas separate from passengers, not for keeping passengers separate from one another or confined to an area.
The waist-high gates separating classes were mostly left closed and locked because many stewards, who initially were to return below to help guide more passengers up to the boat deck, became busy with commands and orders up above and did not return.
These gates could easily be climbed over by most people, though. The biggest issue is that many of the passengers down below simply got lost in the unfamiliar maze of corridors
Your edits are funny as hell bro. The Seinfeld and game over cuts had me rolling.
Commenting to help the algorithm! I loved this reaction before so much, it was an easy choice to watch it through from start to finish again. :)
Seeing your “allergies” acting up was adorable! I’m glad you enjoyed this movie to the fullest. And you know the directors/writers better than I do 😂
Just so you know, the doors could still be opened manually and most of the engineers actually chose to fight to keeps the ship afloat as long as possible. Most of them made it out of the initial impact. Also people stuck in 3rd glass were generally locked away from other classes so they’re not seen by “the better”. They panicked and didn’t unlock the gates. By the time some of them made it up there, all the boats were already gone
There are several things that James Cameron changed from historical fact. He even had to pay money to some of the families, Ismay's among them, due to their portrayal in the film. Also, not having enough lifeboats for all passengers wasn't uncommon, because the boats were meant to ferry the passengers back and forth from one ship to a rescuing ship. The lifeboats were not designed for long stays on the ocean and wouldn't have lasted long. Also, the furnace workers actually had escape ladders they could use, so they had other means of escape. Some things are done accurately in the film. I watched a video made my an expert on the Titanic, and he pointed out literally EVERYTHING. Even with it's inconsistencies, it's still his favourite version of Titanic ever made.
If you read about the production of Titanic, it's unbelievable that Cameron actually made it as brilliant as he did. Literally everything was working against him. Just for this film I think Cameron is one of the greatest filmmakers in existence.
I saw this when it released, and I was nerding out with seeing Titanic come to life when that sweet transition happens. Such an incredible movie. ❤
Melancholy was the term used back then to describe someone who we would nowadays identify as depressed.
About your comment with similarities between titanic and avatar, I TOTALLY noticed it too. This was my favorite movie as a kid growing up. Even now as an adult I watch it every now and then.
My first time watching avatar movies was after the 2nd one came out. There are TONS of similar themes borrowed from Titanic. But it made avatar that much more enjoyable, because it was somewhat nostalgic
25:45 Poor little angel. You can see her at the end when Rose passes on and returns to the titanic when they open the door, little Cora is in the right. RIP
For what it’s worth, most documentaries indicate the movie exaggerated the situation for third class passengers. Yes, they did load first class passengers onto the life boats first. However, there were not crew members standing guard and denying third class passengers access to the stairs and upper levels. Instead, there was extremely poor communications and many third class passengers were confused where to go. There were few crew members to redirect people to safer areas. Or many had no idea how dire the situation was until it was too late.
If you’re ever in Belfast, the Titanic museum is a must-see. So much great information about every aspect of the ship and the sinking, and the domino effect of the series of events and mistakes made that made it into the disaster that it was
every time you had ‘technical difficulties’ i had technical difficulties’ 😢😅
great reaction to a very beautiful & incredibly sad movie.
Truth is stranger than fiction. I would highly encourage people who watch this movie to research on the actual sinking because it was far more complicated than the movie depicts. There are a lot of reasons behind certain things that seem obvious now, but where quite normal at the time. There weren't enough lifeboats because
1: the Atlantic Lanes were very busy and stricken ships would typically not far away from other ships. They had new Wireless technology which was another tool in their arsenal to help with such a situation as well as fireworks, Morse lamps and lockouts.
2: When a ship is sinking it often tilts to one side often rendering one side of the ship's lifeboats inoperable for standard deployment. They would have needed more than double the amount of overall lifeboats they had on BOTH sides of the ship. To this day that (as far as I know) this still isn't put into practice.
3: Lifeboats back then weren't seaworthy as they are today. They easily flooded (a couple actually had a foot or so of water in them), capsized and weren't equipped with any kind of survival gear/technology. They were primarily used for trasport from a stricken ship to a rescue ship.
4: Titanic actually had more lifeboats than was required by the board of trade at the time. Thomas Andrews was well known for his concern for safety both of the workers in the Harland and Wolff ship yard and the safety of his ship and passengers.
5: Titanic itself was considered a type of lifeboat within itself with his water tight compartments, pumps and double bottom hull. Titanic's sister ship RMS Britannic actually sank in less than half the time Titanic did and it had improved safety features. Titanic actually look 2 hours and 20 minutes to sink which was actually fairly slow.
This whole thing about it not having enough lifeboats because of greed, classism, too much concern for aesthetics or simple carelessness is quite frankly bollocks. Now yes, if they had more lifeboats more lives would have been saved, but Titanic's story that night was as unlikely a scenario as they could have foreseen at the time. I love this movie, but it's very black and white on it's depiction of people and events sometimes.
38:45 No they could easilly escape up the ladders.
Just a few small corrections, because you're spot-on with practically all your points;
1 - Titanic took 2hrs and 40mins to sink
2 - More lifeboats *probably* wouldn't have saved any more lives. It took about 40 minutes after the iceberg collision to determine with certainty that the ship was going to sink, and they immediately began preparing lifeboats. Despite this quick reaction, they still ran out of time. You can even see it in the film - while the crew is trying desperately to prepare Collapsible B on the port side and Collapsible A on the starboard side, the ship begins its final plunge.
Collapsible B floats off the deck upside-down as men nearby try and fail to turn it upright, and Collapsible B is almost pulled down with the ship, being flooded with about a foot of water before being cut free (you can see one of the sailors desperately asking for a knife as the bridge submerges and they find themselves waist deep in the water.
Sadly, from this point onward, Titanic only lived another 6 or 7 minutes. Not enough time to get any other boats loaded and launched, not to mention the increasing incline of the decks as she sank.
Sadly, more lifeboats would have simply gone down with the ship.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 Ah thank you yes I should have looked up the time it took to sink before posting that. Very good points.
@@JamesCarmichael To be fair, that was only a tiny correction. Pretty much everything you said is spot-on
@@pc_buildyb0i935 The only thing I would say is that Britannic sank a lot quicker and did have enough lifeboats. They could have floated a lot of them off if they had more and didn't have the time to launch them orderly, but of course suction from a sinking ship is a big issue also. It can easily drag those little boats down and flip them. Lusitania had a lot of boats actually fall and land on people in the water from doing the job too quickly and other factors. It's a pickle for sure. I think it's very easy for me to say this tho without the context of the chaos of the night. Many people clambering for positions in the boats could have easily caused a lot of death, injury and just more chaos in general not to mention damage or destruction of the boats, capsizing, swamping and flooding etc so yeah I think you're right ultimately on that point. Man it's so pleasant to have a civilised convo on youtube :D
These days they stow inflatable life rafts on boats, like the one used in Castaway (starring Tom Hanks). They can store hundreds in cardboard boxes stuffed in a closet if need be, enough for every person on board a ship to survive. There's really no excuse these days for people to drown due to not enough life boats.
Bruh you are SILLY! A+ reaction 😩🔥
1:01:08 "i dont even have any critiques, i iust feel empty."
😭 Lmao same, every time I've watched it in the past almost 30 yrs.
The old couple on their bed holding each other as the ship went down was inspired by the real couple who owned Macys department store in New York, they were last seen holding onto each other as she would not leave her husband to die alone. So I guess the you jump I jump was sort of inspired by them too.
There was actually a ship about a hour or so away who heard the call, saw the flares and their captain was sleeping at the time. They woke him to explain what was happening and he said to stay on course ( unfortunately they had to follow orders or be shot or imprisoned ) it would have saved so many people had it got there. Many of the crew took their own lives as couldn't deal with the shame of what happened which is also tragic. The captain was ostracised by society because he his actions too so didn't have much good life either after this either.
Liked this reaction. You cheering Rose on with "you genious girl" was sweet.
You made me cry all over again. Still a great reaction. Thank you.
I remember seeing this vividly at the cinema, I was 12 and was totally obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio.
I saw it 8 times at the cinema and have seen it many times since, I think it holds up in time as one of the greatest all time movies such as Gone with the Wind used to be referred to as.
The scene where Cal throws the table was improvised by the actor to get a genuine reaction from Kate Winslet. She had no idea he was going to do that.
I watched this movie when it came out in the theaters. I started crying when one of the smoke stacks fell and didn't stop till the movie ended. I just remember my shirt collar was soaked and it was winter and pretty cold when we got outside around midnight but I gave my coat to my sister because I felt nothing but devastation. Great movie, it really pulls you in and then spits you out.
I remember in the midst of all the horror I just kept thinking, "This REALLY happened. I am actually watching how people died that night." I was devastated and couldn't stop crying, like you said. And we watched in a mall theater. The theater was packed, but the mall was empty when we left. As we all filed out silently into the night, all you could hear were sniffles. It was so sad and strange. I'll never forget... or should I say, "I'll never let go".
The people who got locked in the boiler rooms didn't die. There were other ways to exit the boiler rooms like a ladder that went up the side of the boilers and over thew watertight bulkheads. Those ladders either exited onto Scotland Road on E Deck or out to the base of the funnels
Allergies? It’s cool to admit crying at this film. Billions have. Liked your comments they were fun,
Rose is no victim in this film. She's the villain
I saw it in the theater and watch it about a million times on VHS. Still one of my favorite movies. The score is absolutely beautiful.
Great reaction.
“B*tch’ Ahh ok square the fck 🧸up bro” got me cracking up. You’re hilarious.
Cal: I know you've been melancholy
You: speak normal bro!
😂😂😂 melancholy was the word used back in the day to describe depression lol
I’ve been melancholy lately :) jk
I’m loving your reactions so much!
So sorry about your allergies. It reminds me of when I watched this in the theater and there were a bunch of people cutting onions.
best creation I have watched of this ever, went through the emotional rollercoaster with you as if its also my first time watching, brilliant commentary, subscribed!!
I thoroughly enjoyed your commentary! Great video!
I forgot how good this movie was. Great reaction!
Another great reaction man. This movie is pretty great. I was the same way about watching it. You know about the history . J. Cameron did great with it. 👏👏😊
I ve cryed so much waching this movie. I don' t know how can you cry even after you saw this movie more then 11 times 😂😂😂😂. So let the alergies take over your not the only one😂😂😂
Molly brown helped a lot of people on that fateful night, according to reports she helped organise the boats and transfer passengers from one boat to another so that there was more room for more people
My favorite movie of all time!
I enjoyed this so much. Thank you
Thank you for your content. Im rewatching my favorites with what feels like a new friend. I’ve had a bad few days; my cat broke out of my basement window and encountered a coyote. I couldn’t get outside fast enough. All I found was his collar torn off in the grass.
I look forward to your videos and watching movies “with” you.
Thank you for reuploading this - I really enjoyed your reaction!
I would like to see you react to "Hachi - A Dog's Tale" sometime in the future. Based on what I saw from you I think you will appreciate that movie, too. It's only very loosely inspired by a real story but still very emotional. People say it's very sad and some of them even say that they won't watch it a second time and although I also have to cry every time I see someone reacting to it I think it's about love and how pure it is. I enjoyed your intellectual, thoughtful and empathetic approach to the people in "Titanic" and would like to see how you react to "Hachi" as well. Just putting it out there for you to possibly see this recommendation.
Again: Thank you for you effort to make this reaction available to all of us!
You can cry me several rivers. 🤣🤣 Absolutely love it! 😎
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed this. Oh, and this is not a cruise, it's Trans-Atlantic travel. Basic accommodations for the poor and extravagant accommodations for the rich.
To be fair, Titanic's accommodations for the poor were remarkable for the time. Most ships housed all of them in one space, and expected them to bring food aboard for themselves. Titanic provided private rooms (though they housed multiple people), several private lounging areas and a few personal promenades, full course meals with stewards to see to their needs, and bathroom facilities as well as sink basins in many of the staterooms. For many of the poorer passengers, that was the first time they ever experienced running water.
Not the Seinfeld music LMAO Titanic teaches us the importance of government regulations... the number of lifeboats should be the same or higher than the number of people.
This is my favorite commentary and I’ve watched 8
"My Heart Will Go On" one of my favorite song. Music video from is also worthy to watch: Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On (HD)
Thank you for a top reaction to a top film!! Love love loved this!! X x.
This is one of my favorite films and I loved your reaction. Not only is it sad because so many people died but it’s also sad because it shows the evil that is capitalism and you see how lower class ppl are treated 😢
This is by far my favorite reaction to Titanic!!👏😊
The sink in edit…… glorious 👏
this is one of the most successful movies of all time for a reason. watched it in the cinema back then 3 times and hundreds of times afterwards... a classic.
I love your commentary i watched this twice.
James Cameron built a gigantic set for this movie. I can only imagine being an extra and having the chance to stand on a life size recreation of the titanic
Omg, such a movie with you - need to make tea and snacks (i didnt watch the original reaction). Actually i also didn't watch full movie till i was 25 or 26. As kid i found love stories boring, and later was not interested 😁 As an adult my reaction - there was enough space for both of them!
Love your reaction, and still waiting for Hobbit.
I'm not crying, you're crying...
My allergies always act up every time I watch this movie. I remember when it came out, people would go back to see it in the theaters 10+ times.
Best Titanic reaction I ever saw!
