Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 2 hours hoping Jack survives when the beginning of the film clearly reveals that he didn't since Rose's last name isn't Dawson. Also, my guess is that if Jack had survived, he & Rose would have sold Cal's necklace & ran off together but still having her mother & Cal believe they are dead so they couldn't go after them.
There were 2,224 people on the Titanic, but there was only enough space on the 20 lifeboats for 1,178 (or about 53%) of them, & yet only 710 (or about 32%) people survived the sinking of the ship. Also, if you haven't already, look up the 1958 film A Night To Remember since it's essentially the Titanic movie that inspired James Cameron to make this movie.
The couple on the bed were the Strausses, who owned Macy’s Department Store at the time. Ida Strauss gave up her seat on a lifeboat, sent her maid to safety, and stayed to be with her husband Isidor in death.
When this movie first came out there were news articles written up from some survivors at the time. One struck me because they stated that they could never listen to a baseball game with the sound of the crowd screaming because it reminded them of the screams coming from the water when the Titanic sunk. That was a crazy traumatic response that I never would have thought of but it also makes perfect sense.
@@lindsays6631 It was a two-part documentary that was shown on the A&E (Arts & Entertainment) cable channel in 1994. Part One was called "Titanic: Death of A Dream" and Part Two was called "Titanic: The Legend Lives On." A Google search should direct you to both parts, and I believe it is available on DVD. As for the baseball stadium story, that was experienced by Titanic survivor Frankie Goldsmith (3rd Class passenger). Thanks to a donation by the Salvation Army, he and his mother (his father perished in the sinking) were able to make it to their intended destination: Detroit, Michigan (they had family there who had previously emigrated). They finally settled into a house that was close to Navin Field, where the Detroit Tigers baseball team would play. It is there where he would recall the sounds of people screaming in the water every time a cheer went up from the baseball field. Hope this helped! :)
What makes it hit more is that it’s based on a real event, real people went through this disaster. Rest in Peace to all those who passed on the Titanic.
Sad? Fact: the ocean water is slowly eating away at the hull of the Titanic down in the depths of the Atlantic. There will come a day when it will no longer be there. RIP to all the souls lost that day... even after over a century has passed, we are still reminded of you all.
Not only that, but due to ocean currents there is a series of ocean floor ‘dunes’ heading toward the wreckage that are most likely to cover it in less than two decades.
@@rachaelhogan7850 Well naw!! He means the fictional one! Of course the real titanic! When was it ever fictional, unless you count those horrible animated titanic movies with the talking mice and rapping dog!?
Everybody nags on this movie about how Jack obviously could have survived if he got up on that piece of wood with her, but that's not the point. Yes, he *might* have survived, but there's still a chance they might have both died of hypothermia if they were submerged in the water any more than it was with just Rose on it. They didn't know how long that piece of wood would stay afloat like that, they didn't know if any boats would even come back for them. The point is, Jack wanted to give Rose the best possible chance of surviving, so he accepted that he wasn't going to make it and decided to let her have the whole space. People arguing about how his death was bullshit and avoidable always bothered me because everyone completely ignores the significance of the sacrifice he made for her, and how it ties together this whole story of a young woman finding the will to live within herself.
Lol when i talk about that part i make it like a joke that jack could have got on too...i dont take it too seriously ..i love this movie..at the end of the day we all wanted jack to survive but we know at the beginning he doesnt
I think people put way too much credit on her being on top of it as if like she's a safe at all. She still even survived by pure luck, divine intervention, biological advantage or who knows what. I don't even think he necessarily sacrificed himself either, although yes he did, it was more of a, "We're probably both going to die, but here take this small thing, and please please don't die so that this had some purpose". It gave him some hope at the end. But besides all that, dunno why people think someone in that situation wouldn't make a bad decision now and again, they were desperate and doing whatever they could.
The old man who wanted to go Down as a gentleman was actually a real person. He did not Want to put on a lifejacket as long as women and children still needed help
@@niteshdhal6404 Wait.....I'm confused. I've been watching Titanic forever & I read the book of Titanic(the movie) I was sure that was his son. I must've missed something here. Where did u get ur information from?
@@gemmamartin5157 that’s so cool! The first and only time I saw it in theatres it was Christmas Day Dec 25th from 9pm-midnight (6 days after it’s release)
The band leader was Wallace Hartley. He was found three days later by the crew of the CS Mackay Bennet which was dispatched from Nova Scotia Canada to retrieve the frozen bodies. Wallace was found his violin still strapped to his back. He was sent home to England for a proper burial. No one knows exactly which song was played last as some survivors recalled a few different songs, but what is known is the band did play to the end. James Cameron chose the final song to be Nearer my God to Thee. The man in white next to Jack and Rose in the final moments was Cheif Baker Charles Joughin. He was a hero that night. He tossed what was left of the days bread to the lifeboats and tossed deck chairs to people in the water. He really did ride the ship down and miraculously survived 2 hours in the water before being rescued by the over turned collapsible boat. He did not get hypothermia and only suffered swollen feet. Many experts have studied him and no one knows how he didn't get hypothermia. He himself said before he rode the ship to the end he downed half a liter of whiskey and said because he was drunk he survived. He also said that the ship did not suck anyone down and he gently felt the ship disappear below him, his head and chest never got wet, possibly allowing him to retain some body heat.
Wow, super interesting! Heard many stories from the Titanic, but not that one. Wonder, as alcool doesn't freeze, if it helped to maintain his digestive/internal organs that were submerged by frozen water. I know it's really a stretch, but still his story is super impressive!
@@cassiopee26There are some studies that suggest there can be _some_ positive effects, like protecting the heart from ventricular fibrillation at low core temperatures (so sort of similar to what you suggested). Over all though, alcohol is clearly associated with an _elevated_ risk of hypothermia. It makes you feel warmer than you are, make poor decisions and it also has physical effects, like delaying the onset of shivering.
"Nearer My God To Thee" is the song the band is playing as the Titanic sinks in the 1958 movie "A Night to Remember". Perhaps that is why Cameron chose it.
@kylederry5031 "Nearer My God To Thee" was the final song played by the band in the 1958 Titanic movie "A Night To Remember" which may have been why James Cameron chose it.
"Wasn't I a dish? ;)" It's extra funny because Gloria Stuart (old Rose) indeed was a real dish back then. xD She had been in Hollywood movies since the 1930's.
Jack wanted to live Rose wanted to die Jack died for Rose Rose lived for jack When Rose reunited with Jack on the grand staircase the clock behind jack was 2:20am the exact time the Titanic finally sank.
You need to keep in mind, this was 1912. Women weren't people, but basically real estate. Cal never loved Rose, he thought she has money because of her name, their engagement meant, she was his property. He never saw her as a human, but as something he owns. That's why he was so angry. His property acted in a way he doesn't like
He also may have found out by that time that she had no money of her own - he is the type of person whose pride would have made him marry her because he already told people that he would. She has nothing to bring to the table and has no father to keep him in check. It was just a perfect storm for an abusive man scenario.
And lets just say I'm so happy now to exist in a time where good men react with the appropriate empathy and outrage to the kind of vile ways so many women used to be treated@@AkinReacts ❤ You guys are wonderful
@@AnnaB22 I think you're missing some essential context here : Cal probably already knows she has no money, those things were discussed way before actually getting married. But it was a thing at the time (end of 19th century /start of 20th century) for rich Americans to marry impoverished British nobles : the Americans got the nobility title they wished for and the British got the money they needed. Many British heiresses like Rose married American businessmen, to save the family from ruin and the groom could then say he married in this or that old aristocratic family. Same way, many American heiresses married poor British noblemen, so they could become countess or duchess, and the men could use their wives money to re-invest in their estates and way of life. It was very much a contract and everyone knew from the start what they were getting.
James Cameron is such a perfectionist that when an astronomer contacted him about the star pattern being wrong when Rose is laying on the door and looking up, he had it changed for DVD releases. The original pattern is randomized, then just reversed for the other side. They thought no one would care. But after being told, he had to change it.
Kate winslet and Leo have been friends since this film. They have been friends for over 27 years. Leo even walked Kate down aisle when she got married, her kids call him uncle leo, when she went through a divorce he helped her and went away, when her mum died he helped. They have helped each other in everything.
So, so, beautiful seeing three "big" handsome young men who show their souls fearless. You are our Hope for the future! Love from an Italian Grandma🤗🇮🇹
To me, Titanic has always felt like two movies. The first is a period romance drama and the second is a high cinema disaster movie. Each half is top quality in its own right. But they ultimately work in harmony because you are able to invest in all these characters through the first half which makes the disaster half hit unbelievably hard. Just because a movie has a high death count, doesn't mean we'll automatically be emotionally impacted. But by dedicating an entire half of the movie to the pre-disaster character drama, instead of spending most of the time on the exciting action, the movie delivers an unforgettable and moving emotional journey for the viewer. One of the best movies of all time in my opinion.
I'm sure you already know this, but just to piggyback on this for anyone who isn't aware, back in the 90s, Titanic literally came as two VHS tapes. And you're absolutely right: the first tape ended after the ship hit the iceberg and the captain tells Ismay that he is going to get his headlines. I remember telling my grandad who was a huge action movie fan, "Don't worry, Poppop. You'll like the second tape much better!" Fantastic movie. It has something for everyone.
If you haven't done so "A night to remember" is IMO the best and most accurate for what they knew at the time but didn't have the benefit of as many special effects.
So cool to see REAL men cry. In the US, it’s seen as weak-but in reality, it’s strength. Strong enough to feel real emotions and empathy for the grand scale of the tragedy, the loss of life, and the perseverance that Rose carried on despite the ultimate loss of true love!
So, kind of fun fact: Thomas Andrews, the ship's designer, had said that she only had about an hour or so to live. This is because back before modern technology helped us find and dissect the _RMS Titanic,_ everyone had thought she had this massive, MASSIVE gash in her hull. But she stayed alive for about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Much longer than the initial diagnosis. This is nothing short of a testament to the high caliber craftsmanship of her builders and designers. None of which of those on board survived the sinking. In fact, the run time of the movie except the present-day scenes and the opening and ending credits, have a total length of two hours and forty minutes, the exact time it took for the _RMS Titanic_ to sink to the bottom of the North Atlantic.
Technically, Thomas Andrews wasn't the designer. Alexander Carlisle designed and Thomas Andrews took over after Carlisle retired restricted. Thomas Andrews gave 1 hour after inspection, which also took almost an hour. So, he was kind of right. But yeah, the ship lasted 40 more minutes than he predicted.
Until the wreck was discovered, a lot of people thought the ship sank in one piece, and those who said it broke in half were ridiculed or ignored. Unlike what the film shows it was pitch black once the lights went out, you could only see the silhouette of the ship against the sky. Under those conditions it’s very hard to see if the boat broke in half or not if you were in a lifeboat, and only a few survivors stayed in the ship until it went under. It doesn’t show it in the film, but the stern section today is in very poor condition as it sank quickly while it had a lot of air in it, which helped to rip it apart and scatter pieces everywhere.
Sime physicist wrote that if the ship broke in the surface, the halves would be more separated. So he says they are rigth. Titanic submerged in one piece and broke after sink, due to the back still having air inside.
Hearings on both sides of the pond determined that Titanic was cut down by a gash over 1.000 feet long and sank intact. About 17 eye witnesses testified that they saw Titanic break up on the surface; they were all literally shouted down. Ultrasound scans of the wreck show the damage to Titanic to be bucked plates, popped rivets, and split seams. Titanic was sunk by roughly 12 square feet of damage. Had Titanic actually suffered that giant gash, she would have likely blacked out almost immediately, capsized, and sunk in minutes telling no tales. The wreck might today might look much like the imploded and obliterated mess that is the stern section, possibly resting upside down or laying crushed on it's side.

Some real facts 1. The underwater scene at the beginning is real footage of the wreck. 2. It took 2hrs 40mins for it to go under. 3. Titanic actually had the recommended amount of lifeboats according to the British board of trade in 1912. Recommended was 16, Titanic had 20. 4. More lifeboats wouldn't of helped either cause they were just launching the last one when boat deck started to go under. 5. It was a moonless night, so it was pitch black except the stars. 6. Water temp was 28°F. 7. In the one scene of the old couple laying in the bed together as water rushes in, that was Ida and isador straus. And they where actually the co-owners of Macy's 8. People did think the ship was unsinkable because it had more watertight compartments than any ship of her time. And its believed it never would of sunk if they hit the berg head on, cause it could stay afloat with the first 4 compartments breached.
There's a Titanic museum in Tennessee where you can put your hand in water that's the same temperature as it was that night. Most people only tend to last about a minute before they have to take their hand out. People were in the water for quite a lot longer than a minute. And because of how cold it was, you'd be awake and aware you're dying and you can't do anything about it. Not quite sure what's worse; being trapped in the ship as water is coming around you, in total darkness. Surviving only to freeze to death slowly while screaming for help that will never arrive. Or having no choice but to listen in on those screams slowly dying out while you're in the lifeboat. All 3 sound equally terrible.
@@adreamcometrue4555 Yep I know. 😉 I said a little something to make this scene even more fun. I think to help Rose forget her tough life she was going through
The romance is very genuine; you honestly feel that Jack and Rose truly love each other, which is why Jack's death hits so hard. Knowing that the Titanic was real and that all those people actually died makes this an emotional story, so don't ever be ashamed of shedding tears over the horrible tragedy that occurred; real men cry (Jesus did!).
Something that most people don’t realize about this movie specifically when Jack asked Rose if she loved Cal….you gotta remember the time period, and the fact that Rose was upper class, while Jack was lower class. Back then, it wasn’t appropriate for men especially men within a lower class to ask a woman of high status such a question like that. So yes, while it was obvious that Rose didn’t love Cal….because of their social status, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate for him to question her about it. Back in those days, women aren’t allowed to know anything about adulthood until marriage and men within a lower class of an upper class woman weren’t allowed to ask certain questions. Also the scene when Cal flipped the table was improvised and Kate didn’t know he was gonna do that so that was her actual reaction.
As far as I know the main story (Jack and Rose) is entirely fictional but some of the other characters are based on real people like the richest person on board John Jacob Astor IV who was returning from holiday with his pregnant wife and when he found out there weren't enough boats for the passengers made sure she got on one then stood on deck as the ship sank.
I remember watching this in the theatres. We were a group of friends that went and decided to hit the pub after. Man, when we went out after the movie ended we were all red eyed and teary. It was the most depressive pub visit we ever done 😅
A note for historical accuracy: there were no locked gates, steerage passengers got lost in the labyrinth below decks, Ismay never made the ship go faster, he never reduced the number of boats (there were more then required at the time, and they didn't even manage to launch them all) and only left when there were no more people on that side, he was character assonated by W.R.Hurst who he'd been on bad terms with before. Also Mr Murdock never killed anyone and didn't kill himself, his decedents were furious at this depiction.
When this came out in the cinemas, I think pretty much everybody went to see it multiple times. I went three times, and I’ve never done that for any other film before or since.
First time I watched it at the end no one spoke or moved just silence. Only when house lights came up did anyone move still no one spoke never had cinema experience like this since .
I just love how many real people they included in the movie. I actually got to visit the real Molly Brown's house a few years ago. It was turned into a museum about her life. Definitely recommend. 💕
My dad was a stoker for five years in the royal navy. He had a perpetual fear of if the ship going down he'll die first. Wow imagine that while trying to do your job ❤ great reaction
I have nothing to say that you’ve not already said- amazing film. Possibly my favourite reaction from you guys. Heavy film to see for the first time. Well done! 👍🏻
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid, and it still makes me cry til this day. I used to just sit there and sob lol. We went to see it in cinemas for the anniversary too, and it was amazing. One of the best ever
Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 2 hours hoping Jack survives when the beginning of the film clearly reveals that he didn't since Rose's last name isn't Dawson. Also, My guess is that if Jack had survived, he & Rose would have sold Cal's necklace & ran off together but still having her mother & Cal believe they are dead so they couldn't go after them.
She calls herself Rose Dawson when she arrives in New York, and the crew at the beginning said she went by Rose Dawson back then when they gave the rundown of who she was, so there's still reason to hope
They couldn't have sold the necklace, it didn't belong to them. That's the reason Rose held onto it the whole time. It was assumed to have gone down with the ship. If it showed up somewhere, it would give away instantly who she was and that she lived.
@@islaythejabberwokkyyea she stayed as Rose Dawson till she remarried. I love at the end it shows her life after titanic in the photos next to her bed ❤
Cant remember if she ever takes her engagement ring off, but I like to think instead of the diamond, they sold her ring and were able to run away with a good amount of money from that.
@islaythejabberwokky No, her name was DeWitt Bukater when she boarded the Titanic. They thought she died and that Rose Dawson was lying to them. Then the rest of the movie happens, and she likely realized she could say their proof of marriage when down with the ship. So she takes Jack's last name, and no one cares to deny it.
Titanic is deadly in the tear-jerker department. it's a testament to the movie's emotional weight that it had you tearing up before bodies even started dropping. love this movie. the romance is fast but boy do you feel it.
Such a beautiful, heart wrenching movie. The love story brings it to life, but the sinking at the end….brings the terror of what the people on that ship endured. They were all real people. And though these were actors, it makes the story of Titanic, the “myth” of what happened, all the more real. And, though I saw it in the theater as an 18 year old in high school, I still cry my eyes out at the end, even now. Wonderful reaction, gentlemen. New sub here.
Also, yes, there is real footage of the wreck, James cameron actually went down on russian subs to the wreck. The scenes at the wreck in the movie are combined, real footage taken by cameron as well as some made in studio, you can find on youtube the footage from the cameron expedition
The old couple who were hugging as their room flooded, are Isidor and Ida Strauss. Their great grand daughter is Stockton Rush's widow. Stockton was the CEO of Ocean Gate. You know....the Titan submarine that imploded last year very close to Titanic's wreck.
There were 2,224 people on the Titanic, but there was only enough space on the 20 lifeboats for 1,178 (or about 53%) of them, & yet only 710 (or about 32%) people survived the sinking of the ship. Also, if you haven't already, look up the 1958 film A Night To Remember since it's essentially the Titanic movie that inspired James Cameron to make this movie.
That is truly the most heartbreaking part of it all. Throughout my reading it seems to be mostly because of the panic and the lack of emergency drills beforehand. Not enough people knew how to release the boats, how many people to put in them, and how to move forward in an emergency. Pretty sure Titanic is what changed the law requiring enough life boats for everyone on board
Fun fact, James Cameron and his crew did a test where a man and a woman who wore the same clothes as Jack and Rose. They tested whether or not Jack and Rose would have both survived if they had both gotten on the piece of wood. I recommend watching that video as it puts the whole debate to rest.
@@AkinReacts Rose and Jack are fictional, but a lot of people were casted as actual people who were on the Titanic. Brute Ismay was forever branded 'Coward of the Titanic'...for not going down with the ship. There's also some conspiracies that go wit the sinking of the Titanic. Rockafeller was supposed to be on the ship. If he was that ship would have contained 4 of the wealthiest people in the world on it. John Jacob Astor being one. There are theories that suggest the ship was sank deliberately to take down all that power at one time.
@@mikeshoe74 Reading about Ismay's later life, I feel like he was also inwardly calling himself the Coward of the Titanic. He almost never spoke of it, and spent the rest of his final days mostly alone. His family said he seemed like he was mentally torturing himself over the tragedy.
My favorite titanic fact I know is the baker, upon hearing the evacuation, gave out all of his bread. When the last of the ship was going down he chugged a bottle of whiskey and because of that he survived a couple of hours in the water with the only evidence was his frost bitten toes. He’s actually depicted when the boat was vertical, I believe right before the dude who hit the propeller fell
I love seeing you guys getting so invested in this movie not just like during the emotional parts just all throughout. My favorite part of this movie is not actually in the Final Cut. It's an alternate ending where Brock and all the Explorers find Rose and find out she's had the diamond the whole time. She lets Brock hold it for like a second and tells him about the importance of life and how it's not found in possessions, it's found in the experiences you have and things that you enjoy. Because she knows firsthand what it's like to have every material thing but she was still miserable. It wasn't until the events of the movie happened and she was set free to do things and learn new things about herself and the things that she love to do because it was always her choice that she really started to live and live happily. And then she throws the diamond in the water much to the annoyance of Brock's associates but Brock himself just starts laughing. It was really a cathartic moment that I feel like he needed and the audience needed after hearing this very tragic story.
Welcome new generations to the great Door debate. It erupted even in the movie theater back in 97, immidiately half of us where screaming "GET ON THE DOOR" the other half was scoffing"he can't get on, he'll sink em both" lol what a great film
@@anriettecooper6935survivors said so in interviews and in the inquests into the sinking say the time. Multiple survivors witnessed it. There is actually a lot of information recorded from survivors Cameron did a ton of research before creating the film and added in many first hand accounts into the movie even if it was from background scenes.
Because I own the dvd of the movie, and there a a lot of bonus features, and interviews on it with James Cameron , and he did his research very well before doing the movie …he wanted the movie to be super faithful to the real events that took place. Only jack and rose ( and their folks) are fictional…
Just came across your video guys, great reaction video, you def made me laugh and cry with you. So great to see young men not worrying about showing their emotions, def a sign of real men 👍🌝
If you guys want to watch another tearjerker, I recommend "Legends of the Fall". All I'll say is that it's a movie about 3 brothers around the time of World War 1.
This was my favorite film growing up. My grandmother passed away recently and usually this is the film I go to when things are hard to remind myself that it'll get better. I was too afraid to watch it alone, but this popped up. Thank you for allowing me to cry with you. :)
@@kirsten9277 I went to read about the cellist on wiki, his body was never found and the next year he was declared as a deserter by the French army for a long time, until he was officially declared dead in 2000. He most probably died too on the Titanic like the rest of the orchestra...
Damn you guys have such a beautiful reaction, it’s a heavy movie for sure. I studied it when I was in media at school years back and it was so interesting to see how it was made and how it matched up to the tragedy that was the titanic
A couple of clarification points, just a few things the movie gets wrong: 1. It's a myth that third class passengers were treated poorly on board. In comparison to the lives they were leaving and other ships of the era, Titanic treated third class like royalty. 2. Iron gates did not separate the classes. Doors, stairs, signs, and ropes did. There were a couple of iron gates, but they blocked passengers from machinery and crew spaces. 3. The crew did not actively hold third class passengers below decks, at least not all of them. Some survivors testified that they were told to stay put, but many crewmen were leading third class passengers up through the emergency doors to the boat deck. 4. Titanic's rudder was not too small. Both Titanic and Olympic (which the film ignores) passed their sea trials with flying colours. 5. J. Bruce Ismay did not pressure Captain Smith to go faster. Their conversation was twisted for the movie to make Ismay seem more like a villain. 6. Ismay helped launch the boats during the sinking, only leaving at the last chance when the ship was, from his vantage point, entirely devoid of women and children. They were either on the opposite side of the ship or at the stern, which he could not see. 7. Captain Smith was not in a vegetative state during the sinking. Both he and Thomas Andrews were last seen leaping into the sea from the bridge. 8. Ice warnings were not ignored. Even if an ice warning or two never made it to the bridge, the officers on watch were aware from early on that they were approaching an ice field, which was typical in early spring. It was common practice for an ocean liner, with a tight schedule, to keep going at full speed until danger was actually spotted. They had good weather and saw no signs of danger, so they kept going. It was actually that clear weather that made it harder to see the icebergs that surrounded them on the night of the sinking, coupled with the lack of moonlight.
Benefit of hindsight is for us, not them. Besides, the first reaction to any obstacle is to avoid collision, not go into it. If the ship hit head on, and by any chance survived, there would be serious repercussions. Officer Murdoch would be arrested for murder, stripped off of his seamanship etc... An obvious question would arise - Why didn't you try to turn the ship instead of hitting head on?
@@MichaelB769 I'm saying "IF" Titanic didn't sink after hitting head on. That's a huge If considering there's more chance she might've sank hitting head on. If the ship survived, it would be seen as a wreckless officer purposefully hitting the ship head on killing 300 people at the bow. They would ask why he didn't try to avoid the berg. Its because she tried to avoid the berg and hit, we know there wasn't enough time. That wouldn't be the case if they survived hitting head on. There would no means for them to find if they could've avoided the berg.
Fun fact: I read somewhere a couple years ago that the first couple times Roses says “come back”, she’s actually talking to Jack, but as she slowly remembers her promise, she starts calling for the lifeboat.
The part where they figure out that the boat will sink is when if you saw it in theaters there was an intermission and if you were watching at home you had to pop the second VHS tape in. Then the length of time that the ship sinks in the movie is approx how long it did in real life.
I watch this movie about once a year or so and it's always like the first time seeing it... I actually have the VHS set of 2 tapes (since 3 hours didn't fit on one tape) and I watch it on my original box TV from 1999 on my original VCR, pretty cool.
If there was ever a 10/10, it’s Titanic. It’s a perfect movie. I’m not even afraid to say that I got tears in my eyes watching this reaction. Well done, fellas. Glad you watched this masterpiece.
Rose wasn't married she was engaged to be married. She didn't like him, and he was controlling. Also, her mother was forcing her to marry him so the mother could stay in high society and have money. Rose's father left them and left with a large debt owed and Rose and her mother were pretty much broke at this point. Also: if they had hit the iceberg head on, they would have stayed afloat long enough for the Northern (I believe that was it's name)to come and save them. Also also: the musicians really did play until the ship sank. They all died.
Small correction. Roses father died. He didn’t leave them as in ran off. When he died he left them with massive debt and his name, Dewitt Bukator, was their only saving Grace as no one else knew they were broke. They used that name to continue to social climb so that rose would marry rich.
@marquitabraswell5348 Yes, but I believe there was actually a closer ship that could have gotten to them sooner, but the captain had told them to stop sending them messages about icebergs. The telegraphers were trying to receive messages from family members to passengers on board, and he found the iceberg warnings a nuisance. The other ship then turned off their communications, so they never received Titanic's distress call. I may need to find and rewatch the documentary to find the other ships name. When I do, I'll post the documentary title on here if anyone would like to check it out.
The reason there wasn't more lifeboats is because in nearly all cases when a ship sinks it will roll or "list" to one side and make it impossible to launch any boats from one side. Titanic was unusual in that this didn't occur. You would in fact need enough boats on both sides of the ship to carry every passenger which of course would be impossible. In those days as well there were so many ships on the ocean it was believed that the lifeboats would simply act as a ferry to move passengers from a stricken vessel to a rescue ship. There was no precedent for a sideswipe accident like what happened to Titanic and it was reasonable to belive that the ship was practically unsinkable.
One of the greatest movies of all time! A fun fact: The total length of the movie is 3 hours and 15 minutes, but the amount of time that is set on the ship is 2 hours and 40 minutes. James Cameron chose this time length because it is the same amount of time it took the real Titanic to sink. Many of the lines from this film are historical too. Benjamin Guggenheim, one of the many first class passengers on board, really did dress in his best outfit along with one of his chaffeur and told one of the surviving staff members "We have dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen." The old couple you see in bed as the ship sinks are the Strauses, Ida and Isidor. They were co-founders of the Macy's retail store and were among the richest people on the ship. When Ida was offered a seat on one of the boats, she refused to leave her husband saying "I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so we will die, together." When the officer offered to make an exception to allow Isidor to board, they both refused as there were still women and children nearby. The two helped load women and children into the boats, and when the last boat was leaving, Ida gave her maid a spot in the boat, as well as her own fur coat. Her maid survived and when she returned aboard the Carpathia, she offered to return the fur coat to the Straus family, who told her that Ida had given it to her and that she should keep it. The two were last seen holding each other as the ship sank, and while Isidor's body was recovered, Ida's was not. Because of this, Ida and Isidor's family took an urn filled with water from the wreck site, and placed it at Isidor's grave. Their grave reads "Many waters cannot quench love - neither can the floods drown it."

Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 2 hours hoping Jack survives when the beginning of the film clearly reveals that he didn't since Rose's last name isn't Dawson. Also, my guess is that if Jack had survived, he & Rose would have sold Cal's necklace & ran off together but still having her mother & Cal believe they are dead so they couldn't go after them.
There were 2,224 people on the Titanic, but there was only enough space on the 20 lifeboats for 1,178 (or about 53%) of them, & yet only 710 (or about 32%) people survived the sinking of the ship. Also, if you haven't already, look up the 1958 film A Night To Remember since it's essentially the Titanic movie that inspired James Cameron to make this movie.
Rose gave Jack the necklace, it was his.😢😢
Actually, everything in the movie is REAL, except jack and Rose and her family… Everyone else really existed.
This film being 1997, 27 years ago, Leonardo Di Caprio was 22/23 when this was shot. Kate Winslet who was Rose was 21.
The couple on the bed were the Strausses, who owned Macy’s Department Store at the time. Ida Strauss gave up her seat on a lifeboat, sent her maid to safety, and stayed to be with her husband Isidor in death.

When this movie first came out there were news articles written up from some survivors at the time. One struck me because they stated that they could never listen to a baseball game with the sound of the crowd screaming because it reminded them of the screams coming from the water when the Titanic sunk. That was a crazy traumatic response that I never would have thought of but it also makes perfect sense.
I remember that too! Wish I could remember the name of the documentary.
Oh wow 😢
I think of this every time I hear a large crowd, honestly.
@@lindsays6631 It was a two-part documentary that was shown on the A&E (Arts & Entertainment) cable channel in 1994. Part One was called "Titanic: Death of A Dream" and Part Two was called "Titanic: The Legend Lives On." A Google search should direct you to both parts, and I believe it is available on DVD.
As for the baseball stadium story, that was experienced by Titanic survivor Frankie Goldsmith (3rd Class passenger). Thanks to a donation by the Salvation Army, he and his mother (his father perished in the sinking) were able to make it to their intended destination: Detroit, Michigan (they had family there who had previously emigrated). They finally settled into a house that was close to Navin Field, where the Detroit Tigers baseball team would play. It is there where he would recall the sounds of people screaming in the water every time a cheer went up from the baseball field.
Hope this helped! :)

There is no bigger testament to the quality of the filmmaking than a 3-hour movie that feels like it flies by.

Sad? Fact: the ocean water is slowly eating away at the hull of the Titanic down in the depths of the Atlantic. There will come a day when it will no longer be there. RIP to all the souls lost that day... even after over a century has passed, we are still reminded of you all.
Not only that, but due to ocean currents there is a series of ocean floor ‘dunes’ heading toward the wreckage that are most likely to cover it in less than two decades.

Well naw!! He means the fictional one! Of course the real titanic! When was it ever fictional, unless you count those horrible animated titanic movies with the talking mice and rapping dog!?
Everybody nags on this movie about how Jack obviously could have survived if he got up on that piece of wood with her, but that's not the point. Yes, he *might* have survived, but there's still a chance they might have both died of hypothermia if they were submerged in the water any more than it was with just Rose on it. They didn't know how long that piece of wood would stay afloat like that, they didn't know if any boats would even come back for them. The point is, Jack wanted to give Rose the best possible chance of surviving, so he accepted that he wasn't going to make it and decided to let her have the whole space. People arguing about how his death was bullshit and avoidable always bothered me because everyone completely ignores the significance of the sacrifice he made for her, and how it ties together this whole story of a young woman finding the will to live within herself.
But I do think the filmmakers could’ve given her a smaller piece of wood so it was more believable 😂
Lol when i talk about that part i make it like a joke that jack could have got on too...i dont take it too seriously ..i love this movie..at the end of the day we all wanted jack to survive but we know at the beginning he doesnt
It's not that serious. The door thing has always just been just joke, it doesn't require an in depth explanation.
I think people put way too much credit on her being on top of it as if like she's a safe at all. She still even survived by pure luck, divine intervention, biological advantage or who knows what. I don't even think he necessarily sacrificed himself either, although yes he did, it was more of a, "We're probably both going to die, but here take this small thing, and please please don't die so that this had some purpose". It gave him some hope at the end. But besides all that, dunno why people think someone in that situation wouldn't make a bad decision now and again, they were desperate and doing whatever they could.
Also it did show him trying to get on too and it showed that it wouldn’t hold both of their weight

The band leader was Wallace Hartley. He was found three days later by the crew of the CS Mackay Bennet which was dispatched from Nova Scotia Canada to retrieve the frozen bodies. Wallace was found his violin still strapped to his back. He was sent home to England for a proper burial. No one knows exactly which song was played last as some survivors recalled a few different songs, but what is known is the band did play to the end. James Cameron chose the final song to be Nearer my God to Thee.
The man in white next to Jack and Rose in the final moments was Cheif Baker Charles Joughin. He was a hero that night. He tossed what was left of the days bread to the lifeboats and tossed deck chairs to people in the water. He really did ride the ship down and miraculously survived 2 hours in the water before being rescued by the over turned collapsible boat. He did not get hypothermia and only suffered swollen feet. Many experts have studied him and no one knows how he didn't get hypothermia. He himself said before he rode the ship to the end he downed half a liter of whiskey and said because he was drunk he survived. He also said that the ship did not suck anyone down and he gently felt the ship disappear below him, his head and chest never got wet, possibly allowing him to retain some body heat.
That guy is a badass when you think about it.
Wow, super interesting! Heard many stories from the Titanic, but not that one. Wonder, as alcool doesn't freeze, if it helped to maintain his digestive/internal organs that were submerged by frozen water. I know it's really a stretch, but still his story is super impressive!
@@cassiopee26There are some studies that suggest there can be _some_ positive effects, like protecting the heart from ventricular fibrillation at low core temperatures (so sort of similar to what you suggested). Over all though, alcohol is clearly associated with an _elevated_ risk of hypothermia. It makes you feel warmer than you are, make poor decisions and it also has physical effects, like delaying the onset of shivering.
"Nearer My God To Thee" is the song the band is playing as the Titanic sinks in the 1958 movie "A Night to Remember". Perhaps that is why Cameron chose it.
@kylederry5031 "Nearer My God To Thee" was the final song played by the band in the 1958 Titanic movie "A Night To Remember" which may have been why James Cameron chose it.
"Wasn't I a dish? ;)"
It's extra funny because Gloria Stuart (old Rose) indeed was a real dish back then. xD She had been in Hollywood movies since the 1930's.
I freaking love this for her. XD
Watch "The Old, Dark House"
Other facts. She was 2 years old when the Titanic sank and died in 2010 at 100 years old (Same age Rose died)
"Everyone else is running away, they're running to each other." Ouch men.

When Rose reunited with Jack on the grand staircase the clock behind jack was 2:20am the exact time the Titanic finally sank.
That's just beautiful, and so true ❤️
This comment is always a must ❤ powerful story! One of my favorite movies ever 🎉
That’s beautiful
thank you im bawling rn
Love it.
You need to keep in mind, this was 1912. Women weren't people, but basically real estate. Cal never loved Rose, he thought she has money because of her name, their engagement meant, she was his property. He never saw her as a human, but as something he owns. That's why he was so angry. His property acted in a way he doesn't like
1912 in England
Yeah that’s insane
He also may have found out by that time that she had no money of her own - he is the type of person whose pride would have made him marry her because he already told people that he would. She has nothing to bring to the table and has no father to keep him in check. It was just a perfect storm for an abusive man scenario.
And lets just say I'm so happy now to exist in a time where good men react with the appropriate empathy and outrage to the kind of vile ways so many women used to be treated@@AkinReacts ❤ You guys are wonderful
@@AnnaB22 I think you're missing some essential context here : Cal probably already knows she has no money, those things were discussed way before actually getting married. But it was a thing at the time (end of 19th century /start of 20th century) for rich Americans to marry impoverished British nobles : the Americans got the nobility title they wished for and the British got the money they needed. Many British heiresses like Rose married American businessmen, to save the family from ruin and the groom could then say he married in this or that old aristocratic family. Same way, many American heiresses married poor British noblemen, so they could become countess or duchess, and the men could use their wives money to re-invest in their estates and way of life.
It was very much a contract and everyone knew from the start what they were getting.
James Cameron is such a perfectionist that when an astronomer contacted him about the star pattern being wrong when Rose is laying on the door and looking up, he had it changed for DVD releases. The original pattern is randomized, then just reversed for the other side. They thought no one would care. But after being told, he had to change it.
The band leader is from my hometown. He is remembered as a hero. My family lived a few doors up from his family back in the day.
Kate winslet and Leo have been friends since this film. They have been friends for over 27 years. Leo even walked Kate down aisle when she got married, her kids call him uncle leo, when she went through a divorce he helped her and went away, when her mum died he helped. They have helped each other in everything.

This was so refreshing to see. So many guys shrug it off or do not acknowledge it at all.
To me, Titanic has always felt like two movies. The first is a period romance drama and the second is a high cinema disaster movie. Each half is top quality in its own right. But they ultimately work in harmony because you are able to invest in all these characters through the first half which makes the disaster half hit unbelievably hard. Just because a movie has a high death count, doesn't mean we'll automatically be emotionally impacted. But by dedicating an entire half of the movie to the pre-disaster character drama, instead of spending most of the time on the exciting action, the movie delivers an unforgettable and moving emotional journey for the viewer. One of the best movies of all time in my opinion.
I'm sure you already know this, but just to piggyback on this for anyone who isn't aware, back in the 90s, Titanic literally came as two VHS tapes. And you're absolutely right: the first tape ended after the ship hit the iceberg and the captain tells Ismay that he is going to get his headlines. I remember telling my grandad who was a huge action movie fan, "Don't worry, Poppop. You'll like the second tape much better!" Fantastic movie. It has something for everyone.
If you haven't done so "A night to remember" is IMO the best and most accurate for what they knew at the time but didn't have the benefit of as many special effects.
same with the movie atonement
first half period romance movie
second half war drama, disaster movie
@@LeahBandBi came in here to say this 😊 I would watch only one half at a time depending on if I wanted action and heartbreak or a love story 😂
She's living a lot of people's dream but it's not her dream, was very insightful.
She knows what really matters 🖤
So cool to see REAL men cry. In the US, it’s seen as weak-but in reality, it’s strength. Strong enough to feel real emotions and empathy for the grand scale of the tragedy, the loss of life, and the perseverance that Rose carried on despite the ultimate loss of true love!
Only the US? And even then, we do cry, just usually not at this film
So, kind of fun fact: Thomas Andrews, the ship's designer, had said that she only had about an hour or so to live. This is because back before modern technology helped us find and dissect the _RMS Titanic,_ everyone had thought she had this massive, MASSIVE gash in her hull.
But she stayed alive for about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Much longer than the initial diagnosis. This is nothing short of a testament to the high caliber craftsmanship of her builders and designers. None of which of those on board survived the sinking.
In fact, the run time of the movie except the present-day scenes and the opening and ending credits, have a total length of two hours and forty minutes, the exact time it took for the _RMS Titanic_ to sink to the bottom of the North Atlantic.
He said one hour, or 2 hrs at most.
Technically, Thomas Andrews wasn't the designer. Alexander Carlisle designed and Thomas Andrews took over after Carlisle retired restricted.
Thomas Andrews gave 1 hour after inspection, which also took almost an hour. So, he was kind of right. But yeah, the ship lasted 40 more minutes than he predicted.
when he said that, about an hour had allready passed since the berg was hit so he was actually spot on in his assesment of the delay of sinking.
The last song they played is called Nearer my God to thee. They accepted their fate 😢
Fr it was sad
Until the wreck was discovered, a lot of people thought the ship sank in one piece, and those who said it broke in half were ridiculed or ignored. Unlike what the film shows it was pitch black once the lights went out, you could only see the silhouette of the ship against the sky. Under those conditions it’s very hard to see if the boat broke in half or not if you were in a lifeboat, and only a few survivors stayed in the ship until it went under. It doesn’t show it in the film, but the stern section today is in very poor condition as it sank quickly while it had a lot of air in it, which helped to rip it apart and scatter pieces everywhere.
Sime physicist wrote that if the ship broke in the surface, the halves would be more separated.
So he says they are rigth.
Titanic submerged in one piece and broke after sink, due to the back still having air inside.
Hearings on both sides of the pond determined that Titanic was cut down by a gash over 1.000 feet long and sank intact. About 17 eye witnesses testified that they saw Titanic break up on the surface; they were all literally shouted down. Ultrasound scans of the wreck show the damage to Titanic to be bucked plates, popped rivets, and split seams. Titanic was sunk by roughly 12 square feet of damage. Had Titanic actually suffered that giant gash, she would have likely blacked out almost immediately, capsized, and sunk in minutes telling no tales. The wreck might today might look much like the imploded and obliterated mess that is the stern section, possibly resting upside down or laying crushed on it's side.

Some real facts
1. The underwater scene at the beginning is real footage of the wreck.
2. It took 2hrs 40mins for it to go under.
3. Titanic actually had the recommended amount of lifeboats according to the British board of trade in 1912. Recommended was 16, Titanic had 20.
4. More lifeboats wouldn't of helped either cause they were just launching the last one when boat deck started to go under.
5. It was a moonless night, so it was pitch black except the stars.
6. Water temp was 28°F.
7. In the one scene of the old couple laying in the bed together as water rushes in, that was Ida and isador straus. And they where actually the co-owners of Macy's
8. People did think the ship was unsinkable because it had more watertight compartments than any ship of her time. And its believed it never would of sunk if they hit the berg head on, cause it could stay afloat with the first 4 compartments breached.
What is 28F in Celsius ?
@anriettecooper6935 -2° Celcius I think.
There's a Titanic museum in Tennessee where you can put your hand in water that's the same temperature as it was that night. Most people only tend to last about a minute before they have to take their hand out.
People were in the water for quite a lot longer than a minute. And because of how cold it was, you'd be awake and aware you're dying and you can't do anything about it.
Not quite sure what's worse; being trapped in the ship as water is coming around you, in total darkness.
Surviving only to freeze to death slowly while screaming for help that will never arrive.
Or having no choice but to listen in on those screams slowly dying out while you're in the lifeboat.
All 3 sound equally terrible.

The romance is very genuine; you honestly feel that Jack and Rose truly love each other, which is why Jack's death hits so hard. Knowing that the Titanic was real and that all those people actually died makes this an emotional story, so don't ever be ashamed of shedding tears over the horrible tragedy that occurred; real men cry (Jesus did!).
Something that most people don’t realize about this movie specifically when Jack asked Rose if she loved Cal….you gotta remember the time period, and the fact that Rose was upper class, while Jack was lower class. Back then, it wasn’t appropriate for men especially men within a lower class to ask a woman of high status such a question like that. So yes, while it was obvious that Rose didn’t love Cal….because of their social status, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate for him to question her about it. Back in those days, women aren’t allowed to know anything about adulthood until marriage and men within a lower class of an upper class woman weren’t allowed to ask certain questions. Also the scene when Cal flipped the table was improvised and Kate didn’t know he was gonna do that so that was her actual reaction.
I took my mom to see Titanic and we both cried. ... RIP M♡M...I miss you.
I'm sorry for your loss! 😔🌹
As far as I know the main story (Jack and Rose) is entirely fictional but some of the other characters are based on real people like the richest person on board John Jacob Astor IV who was returning from holiday with his pregnant wife and when he found out there weren't enough boats for the passengers made sure she got on one then stood on deck as the ship sank.
Almost every person depicted including background characters came from real people. Only rose Jack cal their families and servants were fictional.
“LET HIM COOK!!!” 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I remember watching this in the theatres. We were a group of friends that went and decided to hit the pub after.
Man, when we went out after the movie ended we were all red eyed and teary. It was the most depressive pub visit we ever done 😅
the emotion when she jumped off the life boat and ran to him was crazy. imagine someone does that for you. 🤯
That’s true love
A note for historical accuracy: there were no locked gates, steerage passengers got lost in the labyrinth below decks, Ismay never made the ship go faster, he never reduced the number of boats (there were more then required at the time, and they didn't even manage to launch them all) and only left when there were no more people on that side, he was character assonated by W.R.Hurst who he'd been on bad terms with before. Also Mr Murdock never killed anyone and didn't kill himself, his decedents were furious at this depiction.
When this came out in the cinemas, I think pretty much everybody went to see it multiple times. I went three times, and I’ve never done that for any other film before or since.
Same. I saw it seven times in theater. Never did that before titanic not since.
Same, five times. Later I would only watch The Return of the King multiple times in the cinema, but three times.
Same in Norway with everyone I know that went to see it. The only other movies to ever do this that I know of is the Lord of the rings trilogy
First time I watched it at the end no one spoke or moved just silence. Only when house lights came up did anyone move still no one spoke never had cinema experience like this since .

I watched this movie back in 97 when it came out and I have watched it over and over again and I always cry...Enjoyed watching your reaction.
Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 2 hours hoping Jack survives when the beginning of the film clearly reveals that he didn't since Rose's last name isn't Dawson. Also, My guess is that if Jack had survived, he & Rose would have sold Cal's necklace & ran off together but still having her mother & Cal believe they are dead so they couldn't go after them.
She calls herself Rose Dawson when she arrives in New York, and the crew at the beginning said she went by Rose Dawson back then when they gave the rundown of who she was, so there's still reason to hope
They couldn't have sold the necklace, it didn't belong to them. That's the reason Rose held onto it the whole time. It was assumed to have gone down with the ship. If it showed up somewhere, it would give away instantly who she was and that she lived.
@@islaythejabberwokkyyea she stayed as Rose Dawson till she remarried. I love at the end it shows her life after titanic in the photos next to her bed ❤
Cant remember if she ever takes her engagement ring off, but I like to think instead of the diamond, they sold her ring and were able to run away with a good amount of money from that.
@islaythejabberwokky No, her name was DeWitt Bukater when she boarded the Titanic. They thought she died and that Rose Dawson was lying to them. Then the rest of the movie happens, and she likely realized she could say their proof of marriage when down with the ship. So she takes Jack's last name, and no one cares to deny it.
Titanic is deadly in the tear-jerker department. it's a testament to the movie's emotional weight that it had you tearing up before bodies even started dropping. love this movie. the romance is fast but boy do you feel it.
So many people pass on this movie these days because of how long it is. But it is soooo worth the watch. Loved the reaction!
Its so good to watch young people react to a masterpiece
Always comforting to watch movies with y’all, love your humour and genuine emotions ^^ Kings who stand up for women too 👏👏👏
Thanks so much 👊🏿
Such a beautiful, heart wrenching movie. The love story brings it to life, but the sinking at the end….brings the terror of what the people on that ship endured. They were all real people. And though these were actors, it makes the story of Titanic, the “myth” of what happened, all the more real. And, though I saw it in the theater as an 18 year old in high school, I still cry my eyes out at the end, even now. Wonderful reaction, gentlemen. New sub here.
Seeing yall hold in your tears made me cry 😭 much love
😢😢😢 waah!
This movie has captivated me since I saw it for the first time in theaters. I loved watching your reactions and I’m so glad you loved it!!❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
The ending is her heaven it's her dreaming as she died
Also, yes, there is real footage of the wreck, James cameron actually went down on russian subs to the wreck. The scenes at the wreck in the movie are combined, real footage taken by cameron as well as some made in studio, you can find on youtube the footage from the cameron expedition
The old couple who were hugging as their room flooded, are Isidor and Ida Strauss. Their great grand daughter is Stockton Rush's widow. Stockton was the CEO of Ocean Gate. You know....the Titan submarine that imploded last year very close to Titanic's wreck.
Whoaaaa, that’s WILD😱
That’s A WILD FACT😱😱😱
It just confirms more and more to me that that ship is CURSED af.
I swear this is where my fear of water comes from after watching this as a kid.. never wanted to get on a ship after this
How old were you when you watched it?! 😢
@@aliesefitch1099 I was 9 when I first watched this
There were 2,224 people on the Titanic, but there was only enough space on the 20 lifeboats for 1,178 (or about 53%) of them, & yet only 710 (or about 32%) people survived the sinking of the ship. Also, if you haven't already, look up the 1958 film A Night To Remember since it's essentially the Titanic movie that inspired James Cameron to make this movie.
Yeah, because the jerks didn't fully fill the lifeboats, despte not having enough of them for everybody. Gotta keep the rich folk comfortable.
That is truly the most heartbreaking part of it all. Throughout my reading it seems to be mostly because of the panic and the lack of emergency drills beforehand. Not enough people knew how to release the boats, how many people to put in them, and how to move forward in an emergency. Pretty sure Titanic is what changed the law requiring enough life boats for everyone on board
43:50 When Kate swims through the passageway, she insisted the water be ice cold so her acting would be realistic! BANGER!
Fun fact, James Cameron and his crew did a test where a man and a woman who wore the same clothes as Jack and Rose. They tested whether or not Jack and Rose would have both survived if they had both gotten on the piece of wood. I recommend watching that video as it puts the whole debate to rest.
Ohh wow that’s amazing
@@AkinReacts Rose and Jack are fictional, but a lot of people were casted as actual people who were on the Titanic. Brute Ismay was forever branded 'Coward of the Titanic'...for not going down with the ship. There's also some conspiracies that go wit the sinking of the Titanic. Rockafeller was supposed to be on the ship. If he was that ship would have contained 4 of the wealthiest people in the world on it. John Jacob Astor being one. There are theories that suggest the ship was sank deliberately to take down all that power at one time.
@@mikeshoe74 Reading about Ismay's later life, I feel like he was also inwardly calling himself the Coward of the Titanic. He almost never spoke of it, and spent the rest of his final days mostly alone. His family said he seemed like he was mentally torturing himself over the tragedy.
My favorite titanic fact I know is the baker, upon hearing the evacuation, gave out all of his bread. When the last of the ship was going down he chugged a bottle of whiskey and because of that he survived a couple of hours in the water with the only evidence was his frost bitten toes. He’s actually depicted when the boat was vertical, I believe right before the dude who hit the propeller fell
I love seeing you guys getting so invested in this movie not just like during the emotional parts just all throughout. My favorite part of this movie is not actually in the Final Cut. It's an alternate ending where Brock and all the Explorers find Rose and find out she's had the diamond the whole time. She lets Brock hold it for like a second and tells him about the importance of life and how it's not found in possessions, it's found in the experiences you have and things that you enjoy. Because she knows firsthand what it's like to have every material thing but she was still miserable. It wasn't until the events of the movie happened and she was set free to do things and learn new things about herself and the things that she love to do because it was always her choice that she really started to live and live happily. And then she throws the diamond in the water much to the annoyance of Brock's associates but Brock himself just starts laughing. It was really a cathartic moment that I feel like he needed and the audience needed after hearing this very tragic story.
Welcome new generations to the great Door debate. It erupted even in the movie theater back in 97, immidiately half of us where screaming "GET ON THE DOOR" the other half was scoffing"he can't get on, he'll sink em both" lol what a great film
This film is the exact reason why I’ll never go on a cruise ship💀
so a ocean liner sinking 112 years ago is why you wont get on a cruise ship?
@@tyler93539 YOU NEVER KNOW OK?!😭😭😭 these things could happen any time on a ship
@@aleshamapiye5921 12 years ago is the last time it happened, do you drive a car?
@@tyler93539 what’s a car got do do with a ship? And no I’m too young to drive 😅
@@aleshamapiye5921 Well i would avoid all cars, there are more fatal car accidents every day than fatal ship accidents in the past 50 years
💡”ohhh this is Titanic!” …👀 “welcome back “. I laughed so hard 😂
The guys playing the violine really did till the end , to help people not to panick too much …
How do you know that ?
@@anriettecooper6935survivors said so in interviews and in the inquests into the sinking say the time. Multiple survivors witnessed it. There is actually a lot of information recorded from survivors Cameron did a ton of research before creating the film and added in many first hand accounts into the movie even if it was from background scenes.
Because I own the dvd of the movie, and there a a lot of bonus features, and interviews on it with James Cameron , and he did his research very well before doing the movie …he wanted the movie to be super faithful to the real events that took place. Only jack and rose ( and their folks) are fictional…
The way they did this movie and the whole sinking of the ship was so perfect and realistic
Everybody holds their breath during the scene when the ship goes down. It's an empathic response to the situation 🥲
DiCaprio played Romeo in the 1996 film Romeo and Juliet
it is a timeless masterpiece. There will never be another film like this. It's mixture of non fictional and fictional was handled perfectly
Just came across your video guys, great reaction video, you def made me laugh and cry with you. So great to see young men not worrying about showing their emotions, def a sign of real men 👍🌝
oh boy oh boy! *grabs snacks and drinks* so excite to see this xD
Also love that this movie had yall blushing 😂❤ we love romance !!
This story of Jack and Kate are for the people who died that never got their stories told.
Ahhh the most tragic of all romances! James Cameron did such a wonderful job with this movie. Excited to join you 3 on your journey 🎉❤
Best movie ever, period. 🤷🏻♀️
This movie always gets me , no matter how many times I’ve watched it. It’s just the most beautiful and sad story ever
If you guys want to watch another tearjerker, I recommend "Legends of the Fall". All I'll say is that it's a movie about 3 brothers around the time of World War 1.
THIS SUGGESTION!!! Definitely a MUST WATCH💯‼️
Favorite movie #1 ❤
Titanic #1.5
This movie is iconic!
Fun fact: the footage of the titanic under water, he real footages from james camrons many expeditions to the titanic when making the movie
This was my favorite film growing up. My grandmother passed away recently and usually this is the film I go to when things are hard to remind myself that it'll get better. I was too afraid to watch it alone, but this popped up. Thank you for allowing me to cry with you. :)
Beautiful movie, beautiful reaction. Thank you!
Thank you too!
The band played to the very end. Panic control.
EXACTLY 💯!!!!!
They knew in the end. It was their last way to go. But I do think one person with the Chelo survived in real life. I can't be certain though.
Yeah they definitely helped
@@kirsten9277 I went to read about the cellist on wiki, his body was never found and the next year he was declared as a deserter by the French army for a long time, until he was officially declared dead in 2000. He most probably died too on the Titanic like the rest of the orchestra...
Damn you guys have such a beautiful reaction, it’s a heavy movie for sure. I studied it when I was in media at school years back and it was so interesting to see how it was made and how it matched up to the tragedy that was the titanic
A couple of clarification points, just a few things the movie gets wrong:
1. It's a myth that third class passengers were treated poorly on board. In comparison to the lives they were leaving and other ships of the era, Titanic treated third class like royalty.
2. Iron gates did not separate the classes. Doors, stairs, signs, and ropes did. There were a couple of iron gates, but they blocked passengers from machinery and crew spaces.
3. The crew did not actively hold third class passengers below decks, at least not all of them. Some survivors testified that they were told to stay put, but many crewmen were leading third class passengers up through the emergency doors to the boat deck.
4. Titanic's rudder was not too small. Both Titanic and Olympic (which the film ignores) passed their sea trials with flying colours.
5. J. Bruce Ismay did not pressure Captain Smith to go faster. Their conversation was twisted for the movie to make Ismay seem more like a villain.
6. Ismay helped launch the boats during the sinking, only leaving at the last chance when the ship was, from his vantage point, entirely devoid of women and children. They were either on the opposite side of the ship or at the stern, which he could not see.
7. Captain Smith was not in a vegetative state during the sinking. Both he and Thomas Andrews were last seen leaping into the sea from the bridge.
8. Ice warnings were not ignored. Even if an ice warning or two never made it to the bridge, the officers on watch were aware from early on that they were approaching an ice field, which was typical in early spring. It was common practice for an ocean liner, with a tight schedule, to keep going at full speed until danger was actually spotted. They had good weather and saw no signs of danger, so they kept going. It was actually that clear weather that made it harder to see the icebergs that surrounded them on the night of the sinking, coupled with the lack of moonlight.
Titanic is one of my fave all time movies. I rewatch it prob twice a year. I love yall reaction @21:46 "LET HIM COOK!"🤣
21:43 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 'LET HIM COOK SHHHHH' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😂😭
The really messed-up thing is that trying to turn the ship is what doomed them. If they'd just slowed down and hit it head-on, it wouldn't have sank.
Benefit of hindsight is for us, not them.
Besides, the first reaction to any obstacle is to avoid collision, not go into it. If the ship hit head on, and by any chance survived, there would be serious repercussions. Officer Murdoch would be arrested for murder, stripped off of his seamanship etc... An obvious question would arise - Why didn't you try to turn the ship instead of hitting head on?
@@gokulgopan4397 Nobody would've been arrested for murder and the answer is 'because it would've sank.'
@@MichaelB769 I'm saying "IF" Titanic didn't sink after hitting head on. That's a huge If considering there's more chance she might've sank hitting head on.
If the ship survived, it would be seen as a wreckless officer purposefully hitting the ship head on killing 300 people at the bow. They would ask why he didn't try to avoid the berg.
Its because she tried to avoid the berg and hit, we know there wasn't enough time. That wouldn't be the case if they survived hitting head on. There would no means for them to find if they could've avoided the berg.
Fun fact: I read somewhere a couple years ago that the first couple times Roses says “come back”, she’s actually talking to Jack, but as she slowly remembers her promise, she starts calling for the lifeboat.
The part where they figure out that the boat will sink is when if you saw it in theaters there was an intermission and if you were watching at home you had to pop the second VHS tape in. Then the length of time that the ship sinks in the movie is approx how long it did in real life.
Verdade linda
Loved the reaction when they 1st kissed. Awesome!
I love you guys so much! I’m so glad you watched this masterpiece ❤
Thank you 😊
First time here and like your reaction so far :) Fun fact… James Cameron actually did all the drawings in the movie.
I watch this movie about once a year or so and it's always like the first time seeing it... I actually have the VHS set of 2 tapes (since 3 hours didn't fit on one tape) and I watch it on my original box TV from 1999 on my original VCR, pretty cool.
If there was ever a 10/10, it’s Titanic. It’s a perfect movie. I’m not even afraid to say that I got tears in my eyes watching this reaction. Well done, fellas. Glad you watched this masterpiece.
One of the sweetest reactions I've seen to this movie, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Rose wasn't married she was engaged to be married. She didn't like him, and he was controlling. Also, her mother was forcing her to marry him so the mother could stay in high society and have money. Rose's father left them and left with a large debt owed and Rose and her mother were pretty much broke at this point.
Also: if they had hit the iceberg head on, they would have stayed afloat long enough for the Northern (I believe that was it's name)to come and save them.
Also also: the musicians really did play until the ship sank. They all died.
Small correction. Roses father died. He didn’t leave them as in ran off. When he died he left them with massive debt and his name, Dewitt Bukator, was their only saving Grace as no one else knew they were broke. They used that name to continue to social climb so that rose would marry rich.
The boat that saved them was called the Carpathia
@hollybrooke322 Oh, I thought he left. Thank you. I actually didn't know that!!!! That sucks more!!!!!
@marquitabraswell5348 Yes, but I believe there was actually a closer ship that could have gotten to them sooner, but the captain had told them to stop sending them messages about icebergs. The telegraphers were trying to receive messages from family members to passengers on board, and he found the iceberg warnings a nuisance. The other ship then turned off their communications, so they never received Titanic's distress call. I may need to find and rewatch the documentary to find the other ships name. When I do, I'll post the documentary title on here if anyone would like to check it out.
The reason there wasn't more lifeboats is because in nearly all cases when a ship sinks it will roll or "list" to one side and make it impossible to launch any boats from one side. Titanic was unusual in that this didn't occur. You would in fact need enough boats on both sides of the ship to carry every passenger which of course would be impossible.
In those days as well there were so many ships on the ocean it was believed that the lifeboats would simply act as a ferry to move passengers from a stricken vessel to a rescue ship. There was no precedent for a sideswipe accident like what happened to Titanic and it was reasonable to belive that the ship was practically unsinkable.
One of the greatest movies of all time! A fun fact: The total length of the movie is 3 hours and 15 minutes, but the amount of time that is set on the ship is 2 hours and 40 minutes. James Cameron chose this time length because it is the same amount of time it took the real Titanic to sink. Many of the lines from this film are historical too. Benjamin Guggenheim, one of the many first class passengers on board, really did dress in his best outfit along with one of his chaffeur and told one of the surviving staff members "We have dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen." The old couple you see in bed as the ship sinks are the Strauses, Ida and Isidor. They were co-founders of the Macy's retail store and were among the richest people on the ship. When Ida was offered a seat on one of the boats, she refused to leave her husband saying "I will not be separated from my husband. As we have lived, so we will die, together." When the officer offered to make an exception to allow Isidor to board, they both refused as there were still women and children nearby. The two helped load women and children into the boats, and when the last boat was leaving, Ida gave her maid a spot in the boat, as well as her own fur coat. Her maid survived and when she returned aboard the Carpathia, she offered to return the fur coat to the Straus family, who told her that Ida had given it to her and that she should keep it. The two were last seen holding each other as the ship sank, and while Isidor's body was recovered, Ida's was not. Because of this, Ida and Isidor's family took an urn filled with water from the wreck site, and placed it at Isidor's grave. Their grave reads "Many waters cannot quench love - neither can the floods drown it."
