Titanic (1943) - Part 9 (FINAL PART)

Plot:
Titanic was a 1943 Nazi propaganda film made during World War II in Berlin by Tobis Productions for UFA. The film used the sinking of the RMS Titanic as a setting for an attempt to discredit British and American capitalist dealings and glorify the bravery and selflessness of Germanic men. The film is known for its extremely dark production history and, ironically, became the symbol of the corruption and "sinking" of the Third Reich itself.
Cult icon Sybille Schmitz, who would achieve everlasting fame twenty-seven years after her death when R. W. Fassbinder adapted her unhappy life into his famous film Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss, has her most widely accessible role for today's audience in this film.

What kind of mother would leave her kid stuck on the Titanic?!

[wdharvey1]

James Cameron borrowed from this movie extensively....Actually, his version had many parts, characters, and plots borrowed from MANY Titanic movies...I've spent most of my afternoon watching old Titanic movies...and can see in his movie where he incorporated a little of each into his...Is that creative? or did he just have the money to make the SHOW with special effects...cause he really didnt' have a "new" plot...

i gotta admit, i'm kinda surprised at this movie. since it's labeled a propaganda production, i expected something a bit more... blatant? agressive? it turned out to be quite an interesting movie with a good cast and engaging plot. i realize that it was for the purpose of propaganda that the good guys were german and brits were cowards and all but if we forgot the nationalities and language, it could pass as an american movie, i think.

@EspeonX4fluffyhay1 A coward one, of course.

@emlodik Thanks for correcting me i wasnt sure :).That story about ann isham is very strange,Do you think she just stayed in her cabin while the ship was sinking?

[pookerville]

Hmm....well, nobody's perfect.

[emlodik]

@pookerville You're confusing this ship (Cap Arcona) with the Wilhelm Gustloff. Cap Arcona was transporting concentration camp victims (to be secretly murdered at sea), when it was accidentally bombed by a Russian bomber plane due to faulty intelligence. The SS guards obviously made no attempt to save the prisoners, in fact many were thrown back into the sea from the "rescue boats" or shot on shore. 5,000 people died on this ship and skeletons would keep washing up on shore up until the 1970s.

[emlodik]

@kingofcouture1996 Actually, 4 women died in 1st Class. Three stayed of their own accord and the fourth, Ann Isham, is a mystery. No one saw her board the ship, her cabin was locked and wasn't seen by anyone during the voyage or during the evacuation. She completely vanished after the sinking. All in All, VERY FEW women died in the sinking, 75% of them were put in the lifeboats, but most Titanic films tend to show a lot more left behind for dramatic reasons.

[pookerville]

And of course, the ship it was filmed on was shot down by Russian submarines. 9,000 people died that night.

[kingofcouture1996]

I wonder how they did the flooding ballroom scenes,was it a model?

[halojames1]
