LOL.....your comment reminds me of a story (which is only an urban legend/joke I believe) about a stage production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" that was so bad that when the part came where the Nazi's showed up, someone in the audience screamed "She's in the attic!!!"
Why couldn't she SHARE THE DOOR? Take turns! (I was silently screaming to her) !
Because then he couldn't die for her to show his love, because movie.
Yeah that was painful. Lots of armchair symbolism at the time. Mine tended to be juvenile. Conclusion?
Some girls don't mind being put on a pedestal?
Unused Alternate Ending:
Kate, blowing the whistle, feels guilty for a moment about Jack dying to save her. And then she realizes she can't move because she, and her giant waterlogged full length trench coat she's been unrealistically swimming in, both froze to the door.
Nobody's shooting any eyes out in this Christmas hit.
I'm not referring to the movie. ironpony asked if that happened IRL and I said it's a theory, that we don't know either way. It's a possibility.
I suppose it’s possible, but unlikely that they were going full speed since the boilers were still being tested at light usage. I meant to imply, I don’t believe it’s a theory (since there is no supporting evidence), but yes anything is possible. The full speed is only in the movie because it makes for good excitement, and that’s why I posted the exchange between Ismay and Smith from the movie.
During tests of the ship Olympic, Ismay refused to allow them to test the boilers at full steam as he worrried it would damage the boilers and delay future voyages. That was just a year or 2 prior to the Titantic, we have letters and supporting notes for that. I see no reason why he would change his opinion. Ismay probably wasn’t as bad and greedy as the movie made him out to be, which is kind of sad since he was a real person.
Anyway, I wasn’t really meaning to debate something we won’t ever know, I just wanted to clarify what I meant and that it’s unlikely they were going full speed.
Have seen this film a couple of times spanning about 10 years. I enjoyed it first time round, purely for the romantic story-arc, and the drama. But it didn't grip me enough to want to watch it again anytime soon after that.
Some ten years later, I watched it on DVD, and yes it's still good, but again I couldn't feel much love for it other than just being a well-made chronicle of a very sad disaster.
Funnily enough, I watched "A Night To Remember" (1958), not so long ago, and that gripped me from start to finish; it somehow felt more real & soulful to my mind.
I saw the movie several times and I think that the present day story is the weak link. It would have been better if that had been kept to a minimum and we didn't get to see Rose till the end. That would have made for a more suspenseful drama, where the fate of the two leads was unknown.
Other than that, the movie has great cinematography with cheesy dialogue and an asinine romance plot. It also ignores some historical facts for the sake of melodrama.
For starters, 1st and 3rd class passengers were segregated in all public spaces so there was no way for Jack and Rose to interact with one another in the first place.
3rd class passengers were not actually barred from getting to the boat deck as shown in the movie. What was more often the case was that they were confused during the sinking, as they were not fully made aware of the danger until it became too late.
