Love this movie so much!Thanks for showing,haven't seen in years.I wish they would or could colorize it,it is the most authentic version we have on film to date.Alot of the survivors were still alive and the book is great!
@zimmy606 no, the film is correct. There were 3 classes. 2nd class was basically the middle income people. They were not rich, but were not poor at the same time. In fact, many of those who ended up in 2nd class were people who had booked 1st class on other ships. They ended up in 2nd class on the Titanic due to a coal strike that was taking place.
Many films about the Titanic exclude the 2nd class and focus on the 1st and 3rd.
@HHHPPP8 thats because thats the Queen Mary! They used newsreel footage of the QM's launching. If you look there are 4 prop shafts rather than Titanic's 3
For a start it was pitch dark and there was no moon light so to speak. A combination that would have made it difficult for the life boat passengers to be sure if the ship broken up first.
Secondly, the sailors in those lifeboats were given orders to row as far away from the sinking ship as possible so as to not be sucked under by it, and so disatnce would also have been crucial factor in distorting what they saw that night.
There was interesting documentary about Titanic last night in which during the enquiry, 2 weeks after the disaster, tried to blame The White Star company for the disaster.
It also said the sailors on look out for the icebergs in the crow's nest that night, didn't have binoculars because they were locked away. How crazy is that? And anyway the ship was going too fast that night with icebergs about for safety.
Actually Lightoller expected to be the First Officer for the voyage, but Captain Turner insisted on bringing along his protoge Murdock, bumping Lightoller down to Second and bumping out the intended Second Officer. That man believed enough in the efficacy of binoculars that he bought a set for the lookouts. But when he left the ship, he took his binoculars with him, so the lookouts had nothing better than the old Eyeball Mark One, which wasn't quite up to the job, as it turned out...
Lives lost 1517, lives saved 705. This movie is based on Walter Lord's 1955 book, A Night To Remember. The book was not a novel, it was entirely based on the historical record and interviews of survivors, many of whom were still alive in the '50s. This movie is faithful to actual events.
@heyther3456 To right there. I don't think James Cameron's film of the Titanic could claim to the same historical accuracy that this movie can. I'd love to read Walter Lord's book if its still in print that is.
Check out alibris.com... I bought the book "A Night to Remember" from there last year, along with several other Titanic books. Of course the book goes into more detail than what they could do in the movie, but the movie is great, too.
the 1997 one is the best. Yes, but this one is defenitaly great too.
however, Camerons movie was the most historical accurate 1. For instance,
the titanic wasnt christened at all with a lady giving her the name to the ship, or even a bottle. And in this movie, the sinking proces is inaccurate too. the time between bow sinking and bridge sinking is too little. and it didnt break apart.
@Firemarioflower The breaking apart of the ship was not known until 1985 when Robert Ballard discovered the wreck. Plus folks on the lifeboats weren't really sure what was happening because of the dark of the night. Some say it went down in one piece. Some believed it broke apart.
@fanboy2015 that can't be!! how come that they believed that for so long! some witnessess indeed said they saw it break apart. One of them was Jack Thayer who let a Carpathia passenger make a sketch of the sinking, and the breakup was shown in it too. But I understand they must have missed to see it since some lifeboats drifted or rowed of 2 miles from the Titanic.
@Firemarioflower I remember that being a big thing back in the 80s, that the Titanic was in two pieces. It seemed it was universally thought that it went down in one piece at the time.
@fanboy2015 It was pitch dark and there was no moon light there and so it must of been very difficult for people in those lifeboats, to make out if the ship had broken apart before it sunk. Those lifeboats had to get as far from the sinking ship as fast as they could to avoid being being suckied under or being overwhemed by the people in the sea. So it was no wonder there were conflicting stories from the survivors of how the vessel finally sunk.
someone should made a most accurate movie/book as possible.
no sappy love story, (as much as i enjoyed Cameron's version.) it needs to focus on the real people on the ship. and show it from different points of veiws. (Kind of like Vantage Point.)
James Cameron wasn't making a documentary. He was putting a whimsical slant on a historic event. For the type of movie he was after, he accomplished his goal. The footage of the actual Titanic at the bottom of the ocean is amazing and he presented a forensic picture of the sinking and the ship itself that is far beyond any other treatment of this event. This movie is more accurate as far as the people and what happened, according to the court transcripts and testimonials, though.
If you want an accurate blow by blow description of what actually happened on that tragic and fateful night, this is the quintessential movie about the Titanic. Forget the one with Leo DeCaprio and Kate Winslet and the one with Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck is not too bad. But this is this one. Here is really what happened that night on April 15, 1912
every titanic film brings something different. i like them all. if Cameron hadn't added some drama it wouldn't have sold. every film has its inaccurate points
@GreatkingAlexander Lmao, no it wasn't. Kate Winslet was the one redeeming quality of that movie, but it was long, corny and a little annoying at the end "Jack! Rose! Jack! Rose! " For the time it had good graphics and costumes, but it was a cliche love story....on the Titanic. Very overrated in my opinion.
@millers3888 yES I agree.But the new version sucks.Only leo and kate,leo and kate or jack and Rose.A Non sense,because there were 1500 people dying on the titanic,not only Jack.And rose never existed!!so bad and sirupy in my opinion except a few pictures of the third class but it did'nt last long.
@fisteberg James Cameron focused not on the whole tragedy of Titanic but what people had to go through after losing the ones they loved. Two lovers fit the role perfectly, don't you think?
This version and the CBS Mini Series Version made in 1996 are the 2 I like the most of the Titanic. That version made with Decapreo should never have been made. That movie wrecked a good piece of History.
That is true, no christening as shown in the introduction of this movie. White Star and Harland and Wolff did not have such a custom for their ships. However, this movie went into detail about the Californian that was 10 plus miles away and saw the lights, and rockets. If Captain Stanley Lord would have just made the wireless shack find out why the rockets!!! IF ONLY!!!
i remember seeing last time i was on youtube and liked it because it reminded me of Titanic and I love that movie. I also remember they did that many years ago.
Despite those inaccuracies, a lot of people, such as myself, believe that this is still one of the most historically accurate films about the disaster.
one problem, they never christened Titanic. They never broke a bottle of wine on her bow( or anywhere for that matter). Still it was a good film despite some errors
@Angele101006 I love this movie as well. Dispite its inaccuracies, is the best Titanic movie out there... even better then Cameron's sappy love story.
With that said, even though More did a good job at portraying Lightoller, I think he is shown in too much of a postive light and more heroic then he was in life. It should not be forgotten that it was Lightoller that changed the rules from Women & Children first to Women & Children Only. By doin that, he cost lives that way.
@JMFiorato1986 Actually this version is the most accurate. The only inaccuracies it might have may be some of the settings, other than that it's historically well engendered.
I luv it
