“Fui felice di trovarmi nella scialuppa, ma provavo tanta tristezza per quelli che erano rimasti sul Titanic. Voltandomi a guardare quella grande e bella nave, la vedevo in una prospettiva diversa (...) essa risaltava in tutta la sua grandezza e bellezza. Nella quiete della notte ed essendo il suono trasportato così bene dall’acqua, si poteva sentire la banda suonare sul ponte e la gente cantare ‘Nearer My God to Thee’ (‘Più vicino a te mio Dio’). Louis Garrett, "Svegliatevi del 8 Aprile 1982
It's strange. The English accents of the Edwardian era have all but died out now - they seem CENTURIES old, not just a century. The thing about this film is that you feel closer to the period than you do with the James Cameron movie... although I totally admire what Mr Cameron was trying to do with his film, which was more of a biblical fable than a matter of fact re-telling, as this film was. This captures a lost Britain of that age, and Titanic '97 captures the vivacious American sensibility.
A Night to Remember - a fantastic book by Walter Lord, I recommend you find a copy and read it if you're interested in historical, haunting accounts of those who were on the Titanic at the end - a very moving book. Also, a great film and probably never bettered as it focusses on the facts as they are known on that night.
@pontus7107 You fucking idiot, the Titanic SANK in 1912. And no, there were no cameras on deck at the time, especially not this quality. This is from the 1958 movie, but good job giving false information to people based on zero knowledge whatsoever.
I don't know. There are three variations of Nearer My God To Thee. Any 3 versions could have been played, and a passenger might only know one variation of Nearer My God To Thee, and could have mistaken their playing for another song besides Nearer My God To Thee. It is possible, but it is also not possible that it was Nearer My God To Thee.
is what i said... stop comparing because they're so different in the period and in the contents however, personally cameron's titanic is one of my best movies
the version heard here is the version that would have been played by a British ensemble in 1912, i.e. the one Titanic's remaining passengers would have heard
@davidpar2 Actually, his family stated it would have been the Propior Deo version (similar to the Bethany with a different refrain). This was the version that Hartley's Methodist choirmaster father had been using for over 30 years, and they were certain it was the version he would have used to such an extent that the notes of this version are on his memorial.
@bairns1234 Actually, many of the scenes in the Cameron version are shameless steals from this picture; the scene with Andrews and the honeymoon couple vs Andrews with Jack and Rose, to name one obvious larceny. I mean, even Wally Hartley starting to play as his bandmates walk away-- child, please! Of course, when a big-time Hollywood director does it, it's called "hommage."
I think there's 2 versions of Nearer My God To Thee. The 1st version in Titanic (1953), And the 2nd version in A Night To Remember (1958). I like the 1st version better.
I was thinking of this song as I went home from work two hours ago. As a child I grew up listening to church hymns. I just can't imagine they played/sang this calmly but heartbreakingly as the Titanic sank. Yes, they were nearer to God at that moment... :c
It's weird but I am a hard and strong person, I don't usually cry because I'm too proud. But every damn time I see this scene I bawl my eyes out. The idea of complete strangers dying right in between America and Ireland, the places where my great grandparents were is too much to bear. I cry because my family survived everything but they didn't.
For all you people who say they never played near my god to thee on the deck as it was going down think agen! I knew a lady who was on the titanic when she was 2. Years after the titanic sank her older sister ran outta church tarrafyed beacuse they played near my god to thee, latter on she tolf her mother thats the song she hurd as the ship was going down and her mother verrified that yes it was played on the ship as it was sinking.
@itscodyw Also Mary Wilburn an English Lady who survived was 28 at the time when she was on the titanic and died i think in around 1987 aged 103 or something like that said the ship's orchestra continued to play "Nearer My God to Thee." "I can hear it like it was being played now,"
@itscodyw A little correction: the only Titanic survivor I recall telling this "I ran outta church" scenario was Eva Hart, who was _7_ years old at the time, not 2.
One could make the argument, btw, that the Methodist version "Propior Deo" was played (instead or also), since it was Hartley's "personal default" tune of the hymn as well as similar enough to "Bethany" to be mistaken for it by the non-British survivors, many of which also told they heard NMGTT.
@Hirvassalo yes the woman ik was 4 her sister was 7 when her sister who was 7 ran out of church. She was 2 while she was on the titanic her sister was 5 while she was on titanic
@itscodyw Eva Hart was 7 years old at the time of the _sinking_ (she was born in January 1905) and besides, she had no siblings at all. And the church event took place only some months after the sinking.
Are we talking about the same person at all or was there a second person to tell a story of hearing "Horbury" on the night of the sinking and running later out of church when it was played?
@Hirvassalo it hast to be a diffrent one because her maden name isn't heart. She died some years ago but her sister ran out of church because they where playing nearer my god to thee.
Possibilities: Nearer my... (horbury, bethany or proprio Deo). But, according to Harold Bride, Autumn (tune) or Songe d'Automne (valse), a hit of that age.
All of these hymns and songs are available on youtube.com
@betarayvil They played something. No one is quite sure if it was Nearer my God to Thee but a lot of people think it was. It's basically come down to, did they play Nearer my God to Thee or did they play Autumn while the ship was going down?
Its worth noting that for the preperation of this film, A Night to remember, many people, who witnessed the event, were interview. Strangely not one them mentioned that the stern end broke off the ship.
Despite the stars just there was darkness when the lights went out. Many people said that the ship split in two but it was not clear and the investigation was closed stating that the ship sank without cracking. The movie was based on the Walter Lord's homonymous book in wich he prefered to use the official statment. I think for survivors, who were in the movie set in 1958, this was not important anymore.
@max444ist It could have been because they were panicking so much. If it were me I would probably not have noticed myself, freezing to death in the middle of the Atlantic.
@max444ist The breakup was not as obvious and spectacular as Cameron's movie showed it. In reality, much of it was hidden just below the waterline and the darkness made it even more difficult to see. I believe the sinking looked much like most of the traditional images, except to those close enough to see the fracture.
according to the survivors tales in books and notes this was the last song the band played onboard of the Titanic, fitting ending for those who lived though the music.....
here always thinked if I can pick something to do, if not with my family but alone would like to see the sunrise while listening "The Angel Song" by Great White
Which version of nearer my god to thee is this?... sorry, it just... sounds different from James Cameron's version, and the song on the titanic film that came out 5 years before this.
@matrixfan127 This is the "Horbury" version, one of the two versions bandleader Wallace Hartley probably was familiar with, the other being "Propior Dio," that his father had used at church for over 30 years.
Cameron's movie depicts him as playing the "Bethany" version he quite certainly wasn't familiar with.
Is this the older version of nearer my god to thee, that was played on the titanic, or was the newer version (like in the 1997 movie) played on the titanic?
He is a bastatd an he shames the Victims of the Titanic. In a german Magazin was written last year that Millvina Dean died. She was the last survivor. She was borned 1909. The magazin was the Spiegel.
So wraith149 why you are lying and if you are the last one than congratulation my mum is 65 and she cant work with the internet. And yo must be over hundred. But no one knows you. Sick idiot
@YounngRose it's not another Titanic. it's another movie about the tragedy. At the polish wiki page of RMS Titanic (not the movie Titanic), there are many movies about it: 1. Saved from the Titanic (1912), In Nacht und Eis (1912), Atlantic (1929) Titanic (1943), Titanic (1953), A Night to Remember (1958), S.O.S. Titanic (1979), Raise the Titanic (1980), Titanic (mini series on tv, 1996), Titanic (1997) - the one u know, Titanic – animated movie - 2001, Ghosts of The Abyss 3D (2003).
@YounngRose yeah, i want to see them all too. "Titanic" was on tv yesterday, and i wanted some info about the ship so i read wiki page, and i realized that there are so many movies about it. i don't think that it's able to watch them all ;). and i wonder.. why almost no one knows other movies about it..
@YMangaka well he didn't really redone the movie, he created his own version. with the story of love of Rose and Jack ;). and yeah, as far as I know, there is one scene from this film "A Night To Remember" ;)
yea he just put that romance sh*t in it (to please the feminine public) but the rest of his movie, like for this scene by example, is just plagiarism. XP lol
@YMangaka no, no. it's not true. it's not plagiarism. it's just like u would said that every other movie about II world war or sth is plagiarism ;) it's not. by the way, Titanic by J. Cameron is the best of those movies about Titanic ;).
I didnt said it was plagiarism cause of the Titanic story in itself... but cause of THIS specific part of the movie : musicians playing while the ship is sinking and everybody try to save themselves. THAT is plagiarism by Cameron. ^^'
btw, Cameron's Titanic SURELY is the best movie since it got modern technology effects and costed millions. XP
@YMangaka Yes, really. "'Nearer, My God, to Thee' is associated with the RMS Titanic, as one passenger reported that the ship's band played the hymn as the Titanic sank". - Wikipedia, then search for "Nearer My God To Thee". There's a small section on it's association with the Titanic.
Music has no Religion, it only has soul, and this soul is what fills you with Emotion, No matter who worte it, if it is truely beautiful it is loved by many.
:( I cried when the captain wanted to die to give up your life is something that many people do because people are so selfish, this was the last song 1,500 people heard in there lifes before shrilling cries came and the freezing water killed them and what did the rich people do? They sat there in there half empty boats and just watched I would smack them right now!!
The cello player on board the Titanic was a guy name John Clerk from Liverpool and after the poor man had drowned his Widow go a bill for his suit, He was not employed by the White Star Line but by a firm of contractors.
It has been sung by Mormon choirs, but it wasn't written by a Mormon. It was written in 1841, only eleven years after Joseph Smith's claims to be translating the Book of Mormon. The lyrics were by an English Unitarian called Sarah Fuller Flower Adams and the music was by her sister, Eliza Flower. Hope this helps.
@cpmusic@Boico101 You're both right. Sarah and Eliza Adams wrote this song, and Mormons use it as a hymn, but a different melody. There are multiple versions.
Wow the effects look incredible for the year this came out!! I never would have thought it looked this good.......I really want to see this film now! :D
@splashenful this is the movie that was based on the Walter Lord book "A Night To Remember" which he wrote about the Titanic disaster. Therefore, it is the most accuate rendition of that tragedy. Mr. Lord interviewed many survivors before he wrote his book!
@wraith149 Really? And which lifeboat did that happen to be and from which side of the ship was it launched? Who were your fellow passengers inside that boat? If you can answer those questions, then you must surely know that the lifeboats did NOT exactly head for New York without a bit of 'assistance'....
@wraith149 you are a terible liar and im insulted that you disrespect the memory of Titanic and all those involved by claiming such things. May God have mercy on your soul!
the movie was nt quiet real one but it makes u cry (tears)

He is a bastatd an he shames the Victims of the Titanic. In a german Magazin was written last year that Millvina Dean died. She was the last survivor. She was borned 1909. The magazin was the Spiegel.
So wraith149 why you are lying and if you are the last one than congratulation my mum is 65 and she cant work with the internet. And yo must be over hundred. But no one knows you. Sick idiot

@YounngRose it's not another Titanic. it's another movie about the tragedy. At the polish wiki page of RMS Titanic (not the movie Titanic), there are many movies about it: 1. Saved from the Titanic (1912), In Nacht und Eis (1912), Atlantic (1929) Titanic (1943), Titanic (1953), A Night to Remember (1958), S.O.S. Titanic (1979), Raise the Titanic (1980), Titanic (mini series on tv, 1996), Titanic (1997) - the one u know, Titanic – animated movie - 2001, Ghosts of The Abyss 3D (2003).

@YounngRose yeah, i want to see them all too. "Titanic" was on tv yesterday, and i wanted some info about the ship so i read wiki page, and i realized that there are so many movies about it. i don't think that it's able to watch them all ;). and i wonder.. why almost no one knows other movies about it..

sooo... James Cameron didnt really "created" his version of the Titanic's disaster fr his movie. ^^'
he just redone this movie part (and maybe many others from the other ones). XP
YMangaka 9 months ago
@YMangaka well he didn't really redone the movie, he created his own version. with the story of love of Rose and Jack ;). and yeah, as far as I know, there is one scene from this film "A Night To Remember" ;)
usuallylovely 9 months ago
@usuallylovely
yea he just put that romance sh*t in it (to please the feminine public) but the rest of his movie, like for this scene by example, is just plagiarism. XP lol
YMangaka 9 months ago
@YMangaka no, no. it's not true. it's not plagiarism. it's just like u would said that every other movie about II world war or sth is plagiarism ;) it's not. by the way, Titanic by J. Cameron is the best of those movies about Titanic ;).
usuallylovely 9 months ago
@usuallylovely
Of course ! ^^'
I didnt said it was plagiarism cause of the Titanic story in itself... but cause of THIS specific part of the movie : musicians playing while the ship is sinking and everybody try to save themselves. THAT is plagiarism by Cameron. ^^'
btw, Cameron's Titanic SURELY is the best movie since it got modern technology effects and costed millions. XP
YMangaka 9 months ago
@YMangaka Oh my god....plagiarism? It's not plagiarism at all. Witnesses on the Titanic claim the band continued to play while the ship sank.

YMangaka 9 months ago
@YMangaka Yes, really. "'Nearer, My God, to Thee' is associated with the RMS Titanic, as one passenger reported that the ship's band played the hymn as the Titanic sank". - Wikipedia, then search for "Nearer My God To Thee". There's a small section on it's association with the Titanic.

It has been sung by Mormon choirs, but it wasn't written by a Mormon. It was written in 1841, only eleven years after Joseph Smith's claims to be translating the Book of Mormon. The lyrics were by an English Unitarian called Sarah Fuller Flower Adams and the music was by her sister, Eliza Flower. Hope this helps.

@cpmusic @Boico101 You're both right. Sarah and Eliza Adams wrote this song, and Mormons use it as a hymn, but a different melody. There are multiple versions.

Of all the movies made about the Titanic in the past 100 years, ANTR is the best one, & it isn't even called 'Titanic.'
splashenful 11 months ago
@splashenful this is the movie that was based on the Walter Lord book "A Night To Remember" which he wrote about the Titanic disaster. Therefore, it is the most accuate rendition of that tragedy. Mr. Lord interviewed many survivors before he wrote his book!
chicotower 11 months ago
@chicotower Yes, back when the book & the movie were made, there were far more survivors of the disaster than there are today.
splashenful 11 months ago
When one of them starts playing, they're thinking "Why not, for old times sake?" "Even if we die, we will die with this memory in mind.".

@wraith149 yeah right your user name disprove that. well user info.
Titanics sinking is ca 99 years ago, so either you was very young, and is very old now, or just very old.
Cmon pal i doubt a person over 100 is on youtube.
sorry i dont believe you.

@supervegito2277 That and the fact that the last survivor of Titanic died in 2009.
samiam1995 7 months ago
@wraith149 Really? And which lifeboat did that happen to be and from which side of the ship was it launched? Who were your fellow passengers inside that boat? If you can answer those questions, then you must surely know that the lifeboats did NOT exactly head for New York without a bit of 'assistance'....

@DarkDemonWolf76 "No! 97!"
- her own words just a few months before her passing away, see:
