If you look closely at the scene with Rose getting on the driftwood, you can see the moment Jack realizes he's probably gonna die and the moment he chooses to give literally _everything_ he had to her spirit of survival and to go on. Testament to Leo's acting!
20:04 Jack's quote about the cold water "hitting you like a thousand knives all over your body" is an actual quote from 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller that survived the Titanic sinking and testified during the hearings in the UK and the US.
@@lanizzlefizzle That's a beautiful way to depict death. Sad for her granddaughter when they find her in her bed, but she knows her Nana lived a full life
A fact I recently learned that the night of the sinking in the movie there looks like a full moon because as the audience we need to see what is happening. But in reality there was no moon visible that night. So it was pitch black when it sank. Imagine, you're on a ship that is sinking in the ptich blackness of the freezing ocean and all you can hear is the ship breaking and people screaming.
It wasn't pitch black. But it was darker than Cameron's version - reality was in the middle of those two extremes. It was the night of the New Moon, so basically a lunar eclipse. But the night was totally clear so it was absolutely full of stars, and there was 0 wind that night, so the ocean was totally flat-calm, and reflected the starlit sky like a mirror. Though starlight is comparatively dimmer, the initial downward light of the stars combined with the upward light of the surface reflection would have allowed 360 degrees of dim lighting. I've been to sea in similar conditions and the starlight is probably brighter than you think. You're out there with no other light sources so with 0 light pollution on a clear night sky, visibility is surprisingly good even on moonless nights.
yeah it explains why there was no consensus amongst the survivors in the boats about something as obvious as whether the ship split in half or not. there is a youtube vid that actually simulates how it would have looked that night.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 I've been out in the ocean at night with no lights around. The stars, even the dimmest ones, provide plenty of visibility. You're right about the ocean reflecting the dim light and amplifying it.
@DerekThomasLirio I've never been deep in the ocean, but I live on the East Coast and have frequented boats. I remember as a kid, being on a party boat (just a 45' lobster boat basically) with another boat, and while they were getting the lights set up (so no external lights yet) the starlight was enough that I could read the other boat's name, about 30 feet away
Regarding why Jack wasn't on the door with her: If he had, their combined weight would've made the door sink further in the water, along with the exposure to the cold air. The result? They BOTH would've frozen to death. Now im not saying there wasnt another way they both could've survived. Im saying there wasnt enough TIME to figure that out, and we know Jack would prioritize Roses life over his own.
Exactly! I don’t get how anyone else doesn’t understand this! First, Jack literally tried to go with her but it tipped, so he told her to get on and it’s all about buoyancy, they would have been in the water regardless. Second, people say they could have changed places and with that Jack was never going to do that anyways but the most important thing is to stay dry, if they were constantly re-wetting themselves they both would have died, Rose literally was at death’s door when the boat arrived. And third, they were in the middle of the ocean in the pitch dark, what else could they do in that short of time? Honestly what I think truly saved Rose was her life-vest, it kept her warm just enough to keep her alive. Which I love because it was Mr. Andrew’s who gave it to her, so he helped save her life.
@@Adrianne519I like to think that Jack drowned when he first met Rose. Without her, with his adaptability, he would have easily survived, but with her - he died long before the Titanic began to sink.) When like Rose, she would have survived in any scenario.
I've said it since the first time I watched this movie as a kid. With the amount of wooden furniture and many other things on the Titanic, and considering the amount of time it took for it to sink, there was more than enough time for Jack, who was the assertive and improvisational one, to create a craft that would've floated. Now that I think about it, there were enough materials aboard to build a small fleet of rafts. Of course, during the panic, it is natural to never realize the obvious solutions.
@@DerekThomasLirio do you know what freezing water does to the mind and body? it paralyzes you and makes it so the only thing you can think about is the pain when you're not panicking just from the shock and cold. that plus the panic of the sinking, it's a miracle ANYONE survived
I can understand that, though I’ve been more of a crushing-on-tv-characters than the movie ones 😁 Dylan from 90210, Cole from Charmed, but I agree about the film itself, timeless ✨ - Maria
Wrong. Jack did not represent all those who died. Jack died, because it was necessary for Rose's journey. Rose was the protagonist, this was her story. Jack was a part of Rose's story.
@ metaphorically he kinda is though. The titanic was tragic there’s not happy ending. It’s just two characters made up to tell the story, of course, and what better way to show and feel the lost of everyone who died.
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. 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 his movie.
I love the new hair, the blue's so nice! Or well, not new but for some reason I just noticed it now 😂 39:16 actually if I remember correctly titanic had more lifeboats than was legally required. The thing is they weren’t meant to be sat in while you waited for the rescue, their main purpose was to ferry passengers from the sinking ship to another ship. Titanic just sank pretty fast. 1:25:33 also the people saying that he could fit probably didn’t pay attention and see that he did try to get on it and rose fell back into the water because the door tilted so badly. He probably didn’t want to risk a second try. 1:31:33 it always annoys the fuck out of me when people clown her for saying she'll never let go. Jack made her promise “not to ever let go of that dream” which is why she's saying that. The most moving and interesting story about the sinking of Titanic, to me isn’t really even about Titanic. It's about the ship that came to help them, RMS Carpathia . You can briefly see it at one point and it's the ship where Rose last sees Cal. Carpathia was an older steamship and transatlantic ocean liner. Not the biggest, or fastest or fanciest. The fact that it even got to titanic was miraculous. Carpathia only had one radio operator who was just about to finish his shift when the distress call from titanic arrival, almost half an hour later than he was usually due to finish his work. Carpathia's absolute designed, can’t take this for long, maximum speed was 14 knots, but they achieved 17 on their way to titanic, speeding through 56 miles of the same iceberg filled waters that became the end of titanic. It’s nothing less than a miracle her engines didn’t explode or that she didn’t hit an iceberg. The captain, after being roused from bed by his radio officer and deciding that risking it all on the chance that he might be able to help titanic, had the dining rooms converted into into first aid stations and assigned a doctor to each one,. Kitchens were set to prepare soup and hot tea and so on. The ships passengers, roused by the noise caused by the preparations stepped into help, many of them offering their own clothes and d blankets for use. The captain, who by the way had not once in his life responded to an emergency call before, diverted all power of the ship - the same steam that runs the engines runs everything else too - to the engines, cutting of power, warm water and centralized heating from everywhere except the dining rooms, and then they made heir mad dash to titanic. They went far above and beyond anything that anyone could have reasonably asked of them. They were far away, in dangerous waters but they decided that they had to do what they could. And then they did it. They saved 705 people. None of the boats that arrived after them could find any survivors. If the the story of Titanic is that of human hubris that led to a deadly catastrophe then Carpathia's story is one of humanity's capability for goodness, of people doing the right thing simply for the sake of it. And I think that’s worth remembering too. (There’s a longer, better written post on Reddit titled “this story the RMS Carpathia's rescue of titanic survivors is about as hfy as it gets” hfy = humanity, fuck yeah. I recommend reading it, it always gets me a little choked up)
I watched Cooking History with Max Miller‘s series on the Titanic and Carpathia and what struck me the most that the captain of the Carpathia told his staff to prepare breakfast for 2000 people because they expected to be able to save all of the passengers of the Titanic.
My favorite aspect of this film was how important it was for James to be as accurate as possible. From the design of the ship, the costumes and the people. Yes, there’s a few things that were fabricated for the movie and there’s a fake love story and all but only a handful of people were actually made it. The majority of the characters were real people, even down to saying real quotes. All the people Rose discusses to Jack at dinner were all real, including Molly Brown of course. In fact, the story she’s talking about at dinner really happened to Molly. Every extra were playing real people, even if we didn’t know who they were. A great one is when Ismay and the Captain are talking about going faster. In the background there’s a woman and she looks over at them and you would think that was a goof on the actress’s part but no, that deliberate because a real first class passenger overheard their conversation. The elderly couple were also real, they were the founders of Macy’s department store. At first they wouldn’t let him on and she refused to go on the boat without him but later they were going to let him aboard but they both chose to stay so there was room for other people. Actually quite a few first class male passengers wouldn’t go on the boats for that exact reason too. The dad with the two daughters were also real, unfortunately he didn’t make it. Ismay did sneak on and he was blacklisted for the rest of his life because of it. Another detail that’s probably my favorite is, the runtime for all the flashback scenes is 2:40, that’s exactly how long it took for the titanic to sink and the moment they see the iceberg to when it hits is 37 seconds and again, that’s how long it took in real life which is crazy to me, no wonder they didn’t have time to go around it! And what’s really sad is it’s shown now that if they had just let the ship hit the iceberg straight on it wouldn’t have sunk. I’ve been fascinated by the real ship and sinking ever since I saw this movie. The stories are so interesting and there’s so many heroes that I wish they could have included but I understand you can’t include all of them. A big one was the guy sending out the S.O.S, he refused to leave and continued to communicate with other ships, even after the Captain told him to leave and save himself, he stayed there until he died. It is still so tragic!
It broke my heart learning that in real life the musicians actually played till they died when the ship went down. The Stradivarius violin the bandmaster played was actually found and rescued later from the water.
Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 3 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, many people have said that Jack & Rose could have both fit on top of the door, but their combined weight would have submerged it, so Jack had to stay off of it to keep Rose mostly dry & not in freezing water. Finally, 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.
It's been officially tested. More lifeboats wouldn't have mattered. In the time it would've taken to set it up, fill it to full capacity, AND lower it into the water, AND with every second counting, it was a miracle they got as many out as they did. The big thing that saved time was people trying to cut the ropes in a panic. Shaved off about 30 seconds when they could cut one.
Yeah, no, that's not what happened. We know for a fact that he had sent word to Olympic, Titanic's sister, who had also raced to save her but who wouldn't arrive until at least three hours after the sinking. Olympic's Captain wanted to pick up the Titanic's survivors from Carpathia and deliver them to New York, but Ismay had them turn back around and continue to NYC without them because he was worried that seeing Titanic's almost identical sister steam up was going to re-traumatise the survivors.
Bill Paxton showed up in another James Cameron movie called True Lies. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold and a very young Eliza Dushku. It is worth a watch!
No that has been debunked by Billy Zane himself. Originally in the script he's not supposed to do that but Billy felt it's in Cal's character to be that horrible and to flip the table. So they rewrote the script and carefully planned the whole scene. Also Billy said Kate could have got hurt if he did it wrong. That's why they prepared for it.
One of my favorite experiences was the 3D version of this in theaters. It was an anniversary of the film. While we didn’t need the glasses for a majority of the film, Rose’s costumes popped up more. The beading and details stood out on screen. Made it worth seeing it in 3D.
I watched it in 3D too! It was released for the 15th anniversary, right? Can’t really remember much about that experience 😕 aside from enjoying it 😅 - Maria
If you’re ever in Northern Ireland (I highly doubt you will be) I highly recommend the Belfast Titanic museum and just seeing the H&W cranes and the Titanic slipways.
The Titanic had about 2225 passengers on board. 908 of them (about 41%) were crew members. I think the exact number of passengers (without crew) slightly differs from source to source, but only by a few.
Seen Titanic thousands of times still cry like its my first time watching. Titanic scared me cause the event and every man that had a mustache reminded me of my dad, so seeing men being told no you can't get on or dangling from rails makes me a mess even now at 31 years of age 😭
1:17:11 The musicians deciding to stay and play is my tear trigger. One of the most emotional moments in this film. Maria, we share one brain. Since I've started watching your channel I don't think I've ever disagreed on anything you've said.
There's a deleted scene that explains why they were left by themselves: Someone actually did try to warn them about iceberg sightings, and the person manning the telegrams told them to shut up.
Yeah, but that story is both misleading and exaggerated. It's misleading in the sense it had anything to do with a lack of response to their distress calls, and exaggerated in the sense that that was just how Marconi operators spoke to another back then, it was common chatter, not something any of them would have found offensive. The Californian's sole operator was simply turning in for the evening, which was standard procedure back then, when most ships only had a single wireless operator. The Titanic was simply too far to the West of any of the other ships at that latitude and none of them would have reached her in time, with the Californian being debatable.
Believe it or not: the power going out is not historically accurate The engineers all stayed on board to keep it on as long as they could so more passengers could get off. They all died.
There were so many heroes on that boat that I wish they had included! But I get it, you can’t include everyone. One that has always stuck with me is the guy that was doing the S.O.S. He refused to leave his station and continued to communicate with the other ships, even after the Captain told him leave and save himself. He stayed there until he died.
I'll be listening to this while I am working lol wow perfect timing for a long video! I've seen it so many times so I don't even have to physically watch it with yall haha
In a deleted scene Ruth is looking for rose and cal as well and relieves he sees a red headed woman he believed to be her and it wasn’t which showed he did care but his pride and jealously was too much to care fully for her
It's been a hot minute since I've seen TItanic, but I remember my fifth grade social studies teacher, Mr. Leonard, being obsessed with it. He had a model of it in his room encased in glass. He knew a ton of trivia and, at one point, he showed us a documentary because he couldn't quite get away with showing us the real thing. And even the documentary was pretty riveting. Also, Maria, I LOVE your hair! 🤩🤩
No, the movie got it more or less right: the women pleaded with quartermaster Hichens to return for survivors, but he refused. In the morning Hichens had the boat tied up to lifeboat #16, but after a while Margaret Brown decided they should separate so that they could start rowing again to keep warm, threatening to throw Hichens overboard when he tried to stop them. After her death, she became known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" due to a combination of her many efforts during and after the sinking: assisting other passengers into the lifeboats, taking an oar in her lifeboat, urging Hichens to go back for survivors, commandeering the lifeboat and getting it to Carpathia, using her knowledge of languages to help non-English speaking survivors, helped organize the distribution of essential supplies, and spearheading a fundraising campaign among the first-class passengers to aid the less fortunate survivors. All in all an amazing woman, but there is no evidence of her taking charge of the boat and going back for survivors.

Regarding why she never pawned the necklace, from the alternate ending: The hardest part about being poor was being rich. Every time she fell on hard times, she thought about selling it. But then she'd remember how she got that far without Cals help. She's not gonna give him one more thought.
Aaaah the blue hair looks so good on you Maria! 😊 your skin looks beautiful as well, whatever you’re doing keep doing it! I love how just genuine and honest your reactions are as well. Always enjoy watching you both 😊
The worst thing about this entire situation is, had they hit the iceberg head-on. The ship wouldn’t have sunk. It only sank because they saw it WAY too late, attempted to turn, and side-swiped it. Puncturing holes in the sides of the ship doomed them.
Oh, and something else I've read throughout the years. If they would've steered the ship directly into the iceberg, as opposed to trying to avoid it and slashing the side of the ship the way it did, the Titanic would've been damaged, but would've remained afloat until help arrived. Honestly, I've always found this movie to be too unrealistic. I come from a Cuban family. Cubans have crossed the 90 miles between Cuba and Florida on wooden doors, on cabinets, on improvised rafts. That's why, with all the furniture and the things on that ship, I find it absurd that hey died.
They shipwrecked in the Atlantic I winter, you can literally see they crashed into an iceberg and it was 112 years ago, the shock of the water and the small amount of time they had played against them, when you create your raft ON LAND and set it out to sea you still had a process of preparation that these people didn't have, it's also not the movie that's unrealistic since it's literally describing a major catastrophe that truly did happen.
@@Nightlady0228 Right, but I don't think Jack and Rose were based on actual people. All I was doing was putting myself in their place. So this is from my personal perspective. I've always been someone who improvises in the most absurd or unlikely ways. In the movie, there was at least an hour between the collision with the iceburg and the sinking of the ship. They were on a ship full of wooden furniture, metal objects. Whenever I criticize this movie, people tell me of course I'd survive cause I'm Cuban. You say that to build a raft it takes time and preparation. You've obviously never even heard of all the Cubans that have arrived on Florida's beaches. They've arrived on wooden boxes, they've arrived on mattresses. Look it up right now. Look up Cuban rafters.
@@DerekThomasLirio I have heard of Cuban rafters, but how did you expect these people to move the crates or wooden furniture from a sinking ship that was capsizing and literally went vertical for a while? They couldn’t put the wood on the boats, by the time they were in water they would be submerged in -2 C water, which would make them slower, send them into shock, slow them down even if they had the wits to build rafts, and again, most of these people wouldn’t be familiar with sailing, they were from all over the world in…again the year 1912. Kuddos to your Cuban resourcefulness but it’s not realistic to judge people from a century ago stuck in below freezing water for not surviving
@@Nightlady0228 I'm not judging. I was just saying that had Jack and Rose been Cubans instead of white people, they may have both survived. When Jack couldn't get on that door that Rose was on, he should've found another floating piece of furniture and hoped on, maybe cuddled with Rose until help arrived. Jack spends the entire movie being the smartest, most resourceful character. Assertive and determined. When the moment arrives for him to think, and his life hangs in the balance, he fumbles. I understand the protagonist was Rose and the story was about her growth. But it feels as if they disposed of Jack as a character with too much disregard for his significance in Rose's story. For Christ's sake, it's like in a century, when people commemorate the TH-camrs of old, they celebrate Maria as a historical figure. Yeah Sam, exactly. I see the expression on your face, and I agree. It is absurd. Maria is the future Rose Dawson.
There were around 900 crew aboard Titanic, around 700 of which died in the sinking. They make up the majority of the deaths. Third Class passengers come next in terms of death toll with around 700 aboard and only 174 surviving- this figure accounts for the vast majority of the 50 approximately child deaths. Including deaths from Second and First Class, there was, overall, around 1,500 people that died during the sinking. And for a not so fun, fun fact, there were 12 dogs aboard, 9 of which died.
Regards the little girl that cal gets to get on the life boat, it amazes me that no one that reacts to this movie never asks WHERE ARE THE PARENTS TO THAT LITTLE GIRL. Did they abandon her? No body ever asks that. 🤷♀️
Also they get angry with Cal for "using" that little crying girl,. as a way to get on one of the life boats. Yes he was, BUT in my opinion, it was also the only GOOD thing he did. IF Cal had just left the little girl there, and didn't use her to save himself, she would have died. So Cal DID save that little girl's life.
@@patticrichton1135 yes that is a great thing to save her, I just wondered where her parents were. In saying that we don’t know if her mother could have got her on the boat and saved her. I just wondered where the parents were. They left her.
I will never stop being annoyed that she throws the necklace into the ocean. All I can think is "that thing could have put all your grandkids through college you crazy lady".
Regarding why she never pawned the necklace, from the alternate ending: The hardest part about being poor was being rich. Every time she fell on hard times, she thought about selling it. But then she'd remember how she got that far without Cals help. She's not gonna give him one more thought.
I watched the deleted scene and she let Bill Paxton hold it for one second before she dropped it in the ocean. That made me madder. This was his livelihood and she dropped it in the ocean. I get the symbolism, but still.
Besides, the necklace was given to her by her toxic fiancé, so why does Rose associate the necklace with Jack? Just because he painted her with it on? So? In any case she should've kept the drawing, the necklace doesn't represent Jack at all. 😂
This has always been my favorite moment. It's like she's lifting the weight off her shoulders about the most tragic day of her life, where she lost not only her dead Jack, but her living mother as well.)
1:19:55 the look on the Actor who played John Jacob Astor was real fear. As a child he survived the sinking of the William Gustav, a far worse disaster than the Titanic
I shall never forget visiting the Titanic museum for the first time at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Seeing the many artifacts, the grand staircase, feeling the freezing cold waters, learning of your passenger’s fate by the end of the tour via your boarding pass. I’d love to take my mom there for her upcoming 50th birthday next summer! ❤
Hi Sam, hi Maria; hope you're both doing well. :) Former avid BtVS reaction viewer here (you probably don't remember me, haha), and I still watch some of your other videos sometimes (they bring a sense of comfort and "easiness" and, not to be a downer, but life is pretty rough these days). Anyways, my comment doesn't really have anything to do with this reaction itself (although I really enjoyed it), but mostly to tell you that I had the weirdest dream about the two of you yesterday: you were promoting a book (yeah, haha) that you were releasing, about your relationship, movies, TV shows, and other pop culture stuff that seemed pretty awesome. You both seemed so happy. Just thought it was a little tidbit that I should share with you, hoping to make you smile or something (rather than creep you out; sorry it's if creepy). Anyways, best of everything to both of you, keep on keeping on with the copyright laws, and thanks again. :)
Hi! Great to hear from you😊 thanks so much! Hope you’ve been well too 👍🏻 We absolutely do remember you. Lovely to hear you’re watching our other videos ✨ and we can definitely understand, it’s hard to live in this world right now. Glad our videos provide comfort and easiness. We look for it these days a lot, and we try to create some of it, so it’s good to hear that we’re successful in that. Thank you 🙏🏻 Oh my god, your dream makes so much sense. The book and what it was about. I’d say it’s prophetic. Nothing concrete for the moment, though. Thanks so much for sharing and getting in touch 💙 you brightened our day! Hope yours is going well too 😄 - Maria
Bruce Ismay, Managing Director of the White Star Line, the man who insisted that they rush to arrive in NY early and who then snuck into a lifeboat, is portrayed really quite unfairly in this film and in history as a whole. In reality, he never insisted that they arrive early (we don't even have proof that Titanic was at her top speed at the time of the collision). Titanic was not the big deal that she's portrayed as in the film because her almost identical sister, Olympic, had been launched the year before and was already in active service. By the time Titanic was making her maiden voyage, despite still being the biggest ships ever built at this point, she and Olympic were kinda becoming old news, given the vast and rapid developments happening in shipbuilding in this era. When the evacuation began, Ismay was helping women and children in the lifeboats and only decided to save himself when he looked around on deck and literally couldn't find anyone else. By this point, he had helped load and lower several boats and once he got in one himself, it was already being lowered and Titanic was about 20 minutes away from sinking completely. He never took a seat from anyone available to actually take it. And then, after Carpathia arrived and took aboard the survivors, Ismay sent word to Olympic, Titanic's aforementioned sister, as she was also racing to help but wouldn't be able to arrive until hours after the sinking. Olympic was intending to take on the survivors and deliver them to NY, but Ismay refused. He worried that Titanic's nearly identical sister rocking up on the horizon might, you know, just traumatise the survivors even more than they already were. And keep in mind that Carpathia was a ship of the White Star Lines main rival, Cunard. Ismay, Managing Director of the entire White Fucking Star Line decided that they were better off delivered to NY by their strongest competitors, rather than putting the survivors throught the sight of Olympic. So, why is Ismay remembered as if he was some moustache twirling Disney villain, if he wasn't, in fact, that all evil? Well, because the asshole that owned the majority of the US newspapers had beef with him and ran a massive smeer campaign after the sinking to blame Ismay for everything and he succeeded. Despite both the British and American inquiries into the sinking clearing Ismay of wrongdoing, the general public hated and blamed him and Ismay is reported to have never psychologically recovered from the sinking or the aftermath of which.
Titanic is still the greatest movie-going experience of my life. Its an epic romance on par with Gone With The Wind and Casablanca. The final scene of Rose going back to Titanic is possibly the greatest, most powerful ending in film history.
Before i left twitter i saw a tweet saying Rose to put it nicely "slept around" just because she wouldn't stay in an abusive relationship with the guy she was forced to marry, i then sent a still of Rose giving the middle finger 😅
Where did that idea come from ? How could there be any "background" information when Rose is a fictional character and not a representation of a real person who was on the Titanic? Rose, Jack, Cal, his manservant, Rose's mother and Jack's 2 friends on the ship were the only fictional characters in the movie. All the others you see or hear about were actors representing the REAL people that sailed on the Doomed ship.
This is a perfect film, & one of the greatest of all time. And holds up remarkably well today. The love & care & attention to detail that went into this film is insane. I was..9/10yrs old when this came to theaters. Originally I only got to see it three times in theaters (cause I was so little I obviously didn’t have my own money- I still have my original 3 ticket stubs) but any & every time it’s been rereleased in theaters since then I’ve always gone, & always will go, because it’s how it should be seen & experienced. I know every word, every inflection, every note of this movie. My Grandma got me the soundtrack as an Easter present & I’d listen to it over & over again whenever I was reading or doing homework, or coloring. I consumed every article, every book I possibly could both on the film & the actual ship & sinking. This also 100% started my Leonardo DiCaprio full on obsession (the only thing I’d ever seen him in previously was in Growing Pains as Luke, in which I found him very cute, but we all know TITANIC is peak Leo). But I went on to see I think almost every film he’s ever done. & he’s one of the greatest actors of our time, just slightly behind Christian Bale for me. My Dad had family that lived in Newfoundland & we went when I was 12/13 to visit, any & every shop we went into I begged for TITANIC everything. My family’s lived in Colorado since I was 7/8yrs old, & of course Molly Browns home is here so I’ve been there a few times. The way this story & film has consumed so much of my life is kinda crazy. I can’t remember like 80% of what I ever learned in school, but I can quote every single word of this film. I watch it every April. & I cry every single time ❤
Loved y’alls reaction to this movie!🫶🏼 there were around 1332 passengers and 908 crew members(35 engineers for the engine room of which no one survived and a estimated 176 firemen for the coal ect. Of which 45 survived) on the titanic which makes a total of 2240 people on board.. about 1500 people unfortunately lost their lives , 212 crew members and the rest were passengers! Just like the movie “The impossible” this movie also is connected to my family! (I’ve unfortunately lived through the event of Boxing Day 2004 at the age of 4) But I’m related to 1 of the titanic passengers Johan Reuchlin , who was the director of the Holland America line Travel agency! He was invited by Bruce Ismay himself to travel with them on the maiden voyage after the old director had to cancel because of a family emergency… he unfortunately went down with the ship but crazy thing about it all is that the ship could have gone down earlier because they almost collided with SS New York! But I’ve always said if the titanic II will happen , I’ll definitely want to consider sailing the routes of 1912.
It's debated how much damage a head on collision would have caused, but regardless, no sailor in his right mind would have sailed a brand new ship directly into an iceberg. Even if it had resulted in no deaths, his career would have been over and he possibly could have even faced jail time 😅
I heard James Cameron wanted to make a documentary about the Titanic. The people that could give the go-ahead thought it would be two boaring. So he said, "What if we turn it into a romance?" And the Titanic movie we know today was born. Also, she wasn’t rich. She had nothing but her name and rutation. Her father lost it all before his death. That's why she was essentially being sold to this rich man.
If you don’t know who Molly Brown is you should watch the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I live in Colorado and her home is now a museum here in Denver. Also Maria, I love the blue hair!
After learning more about Titanic and its history, I feel bad for figures that weren’t portrayed accurately in this movie. The ones I remember that were discussed the most was Ismay and the crew member that committed suicide. Ismay wasn’t a coward who went on a life boat first. He helped passengers onto the lifeboats. The crew member who shot himself in the film did not do so in real life and his family were outraged about that scene in the film. They spoke out against it. Have to mention if it weren’t for Andrews for making a last minute change to the rivets, the boat wouldn’t even stay afloat for 2 hrs 40 minutes.
They misrepresented Captain Smith a bit too! The ship is sinking and he's kind of just stunned, walking about. In reality, we have eye witness testimonials that he was actually attempting to co-ordinate the evacuation/rescue
There are therories, that I've heard in recent documentaries, where they talk about if they just rammed into the iceberg (instead of turning and scrapping it like they did) that the ship might have been able to stay afloat. I'm not a historian so don't quote me on that. But in the adrenaline of the moment, they clearly thought that avoiding it was the better option. Which as we know, the little divets the iceberg put into the ship made it a doomed ship, along with a bunch of other factors. Like historians have said the iron the ship was made with was a little deficient, both the plates and rivets so it was more weak than believed.
A not so fun fact, there were no standard safety protocols in case of ships sinking before the Titantic and that none of the staff ran drills for that before the ship set sail. That's why you see the staff be so flustered when talking to people, especially those in steerage when it was happening, why the boats were not filled to capcity and why certain scenes like the one life boat crushing the other occuring. After the sinking of the Titantic, there was push to do safety protocols by the public after hearing about the tragedy and why we have those protocols now a century later.
OMG! This was a classic with my ma and I! I can remember reading titles out to my mother from the channel guide, and always, ALWAYS choosing Titanic, only to turn the channel away once the tragedy part began
I love titanic i literally listen to it as im falling asleep. Im always out before the tragedy strikes as the last thing i remembef hearing is jack and rose at the party
It always kills me how she's talking about being so cold while Jack and others are IN THE WATER FREEZING TO DEATH. I know she wouldnt be in her right mind during all this but still.
One of the greatest movies of all time it's chef's kiss. I remember going to see this in theaters with my grandma and cousins when it came out when I was 12. It really f'd my head up as a pre-teen lol that's when my fear of ships and boats was unlocked and I said NOPE I can never do boats 😂
you should look into the real molly brown, she was pretty awesome! she was a socialite, philanthropist, suffragette, and the first woman to run for congress amongst other things
So glad I'm watching this 2x at the cinema on their 25th anniversary 💙 with 3D4K, something I have been dreaming since looong time ago when I was a kid to watch titanic at the cinema and feel the experience 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭
The reason why one officer was letting only women and children into lifeboats and another was letting women and children first and then filling empty seats with men, was due to differing interpretations of the Captain's orders. Second Officer Lightoller took it to mean that no man could aboard a lifeboat at all until all women and children were evacuated, while First Officer Murdoch took the orders to mean simply women and children got the first chance at a seat and if he couldn't find a willing woman, then men were next. As seen in the film, many women weren't willing at all. Getting off Titanic and into these row boats that were so much smaller and much less safe and comfortable by comparison when they didn't understand the severity of the situation simply didn't seem like the right move to them. Especially when it meant leaving behind husbands, father's, brothers, even young sons as, depending on the officers view, even boys as young as 15 could classify as a 'man'.
Hey sam and Maria they have a titanic tv show from 2012 that has 4 episodes that tell the stories of the first, second and 3rd class as well as the officers and maids that worked on the ship it was also really good
Actually, the Mollie Brown at the end is frustrating. Bc irl she DID go back and save ppl. Like the women took over the boat, like “fuck these moron, we’re going back to save ppl”
No, sadly, Molly Brown's boat (lifeboat #6) did not go back. We have conflicted testimony as to who said what in that lifeboat - some survivors said it was Hitchens, the ship's quartermaster and the assigned master to lifeboat #6, who threatened Brown and some say it was Brown who threatened him. Regardless of that, it's indeed true that Brown insisted the lifeboat return to help the people in the water. For whatever reason, they ultimately did not. Only two lifeboats returned to pick anybody up out of the water - lifeboats #4 and #14.
Love this movie it’s definately in my top 10 movies of all time along with Braveheart ( i’m scottish so that has to be in it), The crow (Brandon Lee), Deadpool, and my top 4 are the planet of the apes reboot Rise, Dawn, War and Kingdom those movies are masterpieces, pure perfection. Take care and thanks for the reaction to Titanic. 😘🏴
This such a great and very emotional movie ❤️❤️ the fact it’s based on real life events makes it sadder because you see that a lot of people died that day and a few survived. The love story between Rose and Jack is the best part of this movie the chemistry between Leo and Kate is amazing 🤩 and I feel they both could of been saved like Jack didn’t have to sacrifice himself 😔 the casting is great and the soundtrack is beautiful 😍 My Heart Will Go On is still such a beautiful song ❤️❤️ Enjoyed you guys reaction can’t wait to see what you do next time 😉😊👍

If you look closely at the scene with Rose getting on the driftwood, you can see the moment Jack realizes he's probably gonna die and the moment he chooses to give literally _everything_ he had to her spirit of survival and to go on. Testament to Leo's acting!
Considering the large amount of furniture there was all around him, I still say he could've survived.
@@DerekThomasLirio tell us you dont know how buoyancy works withoht telling us.
20:04 Jack's quote about the cold water "hitting you like a thousand knives all over your body" is an actual quote from 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller that survived the Titanic sinking and testified during the hearings in the UK and the US.
Not just Jack looking exactly as he was in the end scene at the clock, but every person there in that scene was a passenger who died.
Which is what makes me think...did old Rose die in her sleep and join them all in the afterlife?
@@breezy3392Yes. She died and reunited with all of them. She is also wearing a white dress (possible wedding dress) in the end.
@@lanizzlefizzle That's a beautiful way to depict death. Sad for her granddaughter when they find her in her bed, but she knows her Nana lived a full life
A fact I recently learned that the night of the sinking in the movie there looks like a full moon because as the audience we need to see what is happening. But in reality there was no moon visible that night. So it was pitch black when it sank. Imagine, you're on a ship that is sinking in the ptich blackness of the freezing ocean and all you can hear is the ship breaking and people screaming.
And then the silence that follows as everyone passed away that was once screaming. Chilling
It wasn't pitch black. But it was darker than Cameron's version - reality was in the middle of those two extremes. It was the night of the New Moon, so basically a lunar eclipse. But the night was totally clear so it was absolutely full of stars, and there was 0 wind that night, so the ocean was totally flat-calm, and reflected the starlit sky like a mirror. Though starlight is comparatively dimmer, the initial downward light of the stars combined with the upward light of the surface reflection would have allowed 360 degrees of dim lighting. I've been to sea in similar conditions and the starlight is probably brighter than you think. You're out there with no other light sources so with 0 light pollution on a clear night sky, visibility is surprisingly good even on moonless nights.
yeah it explains why there was no consensus amongst the survivors in the boats about something as obvious as whether the ship split in half or not. there is a youtube vid that actually simulates how it would have looked that night.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 I've been out in the ocean at night with no lights around. The stars, even the dimmest ones, provide plenty of visibility. You're right about the ocean reflecting the dim light and amplifying it.
@DerekThomasLirio I've never been deep in the ocean, but I live on the East Coast and have frequented boats. I remember as a kid, being on a party boat (just a 45' lobster boat basically) with another boat, and while they were getting the lights set up (so no external lights yet) the starlight was enough that I could read the other boat's name, about 30 feet away
RIP Bernard Hill (1944-2024) who played the Captain in this film
..and also King Théoden in the lord of the rings! I just realized this recently.
Rest in peace, lovely David Warner (Lovejoy)
Fun fact: all the sketch drawings were drawn by James Cameron
Makes a lot of sense 😁 - Maria
Fun fact: The bath tubes on the real ship still have water in it until these days...
@@samandmariachannel A lot of dumb shit is annoying
Regarding why Jack wasn't on the door with her:
If he had, their combined weight would've made the door sink further in the water, along with the exposure to the cold air. The result? They BOTH would've frozen to death.
Now im not saying there wasnt another way they both could've survived. Im saying there wasnt enough TIME to figure that out, and we know Jack would prioritize Roses life over his own.
That is what we talked about in the video - Maria
Exactly! I don’t get how anyone else doesn’t understand this! First, Jack literally tried to go with her but it tipped, so he told her to get on and it’s all about buoyancy, they would have been in the water regardless. Second, people say they could have changed places and with that Jack was never going to do that anyways but the most important thing is to stay dry, if they were constantly re-wetting themselves they both would have died, Rose literally was at death’s door when the boat arrived. And third, they were in the middle of the ocean in the pitch dark, what else could they do in that short of time? Honestly what I think truly saved Rose was her life-vest, it kept her warm just enough to keep her alive. Which I love because it was Mr. Andrew’s who gave it to her, so he helped save her life.
@@Adrianne519I like to think that Jack drowned when he first met Rose. Without her, with his adaptability, he would have easily survived, but with her - he died long before the Titanic began to sink.) When like Rose, she would have survived in any scenario.
I've said it since the first time I watched this movie as a kid. With the amount of wooden furniture and many other things on the Titanic, and considering the amount of time it took for it to sink, there was more than enough time for Jack, who was the assertive and improvisational one, to create a craft that would've floated. Now that I think about it, there were enough materials aboard to build a small fleet of rafts. Of course, during the panic, it is natural to never realize the obvious solutions.
@@DerekThomasLirio do you know what freezing water does to the mind and body? it paralyzes you and makes it so the only thing you can think about is the pain when you're not panicking just from the shock and cold. that plus the panic of the sinking, it's a miracle ANYONE survived
As a millennial, this film is still everything and the hold Leo had on young me was strong 😂
I can understand that, though I’ve been more of a crushing-on-tv-characters than the movie ones 😁 Dylan from 90210, Cole from Charmed, but I agree about the film itself, timeless ✨ - Maria
Plus Jack had to die because he represents all the people that died and love ones lost. If he lived the movie would me meaningless
Wrong. Jack did not represent all those who died. Jack died, because it was necessary for Rose's journey. Rose was the protagonist, this was her story. Jack was a part of Rose's story.
@ metaphorically he kinda is though. The titanic was tragic there’s not happy ending. It’s just two characters made up to tell the story, of course, and what better way to show and feel the lost of everyone who died.
Also, regarding the quartet: they're the phrase "And the band played on." was made about.
I always cry at the opening scene with the waving people - knowing that they are happy and don't know that they are going to die soon breaks my heart.
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. 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 his movie.
I love the new hair, the blue's so nice! Or well, not new but for some reason I just noticed it now 😂
39:16 actually if I remember correctly titanic had more lifeboats than was legally required. The thing is they weren’t meant to be sat in while you waited for the rescue, their main purpose was to ferry passengers from the sinking ship to another ship. Titanic just sank pretty fast.
1:25:33 also the people saying that he could fit probably didn’t pay attention and see that he did try to get on it and rose fell back into the water because the door tilted so badly. He probably didn’t want to risk a second try.
1:31:33 it always annoys the fuck out of me when people clown her for saying she'll never let go. Jack made her promise “not to ever let go of that dream” which is why she's saying that.
The most moving and interesting story about the sinking of Titanic, to me isn’t really even about Titanic. It's about the ship that came to help them, RMS Carpathia . You can briefly see it at one point and it's the ship where Rose last sees Cal. Carpathia was an older steamship and transatlantic ocean liner. Not the biggest, or fastest or fanciest. The fact that it even got to titanic was miraculous. Carpathia only had one radio operator who was just about to finish his shift when the distress call from titanic arrival, almost half an hour later than he was usually due to finish his work. Carpathia's absolute designed, can’t take this for long, maximum speed was 14 knots, but they achieved 17 on their way to titanic, speeding through 56 miles of the same iceberg filled waters that became the end of titanic. It’s nothing less than a miracle her engines didn’t explode or that she didn’t hit an iceberg. The captain, after being roused from bed by his radio officer and deciding that risking it all on the chance that he might be able to help titanic, had the dining rooms converted into into first aid stations and assigned a doctor to each one,. Kitchens were set to prepare soup and hot tea and so on. The ships passengers, roused by the noise caused by the preparations stepped into help, many of them offering their own clothes and d blankets for use.
The captain, who by the way had not once in his life responded to an emergency call before, diverted all power of the ship - the same steam that runs the engines runs everything else too - to the engines, cutting of power, warm water and centralized heating from everywhere except the dining rooms, and then they made heir mad dash to titanic.
They went far above and beyond anything that anyone could have reasonably asked of them. They were far away, in dangerous waters but they decided that they had to do what they could. And then they did it. They saved 705 people. None of the boats that arrived after them could find any survivors.
If the the story of Titanic is that of human hubris that led to a deadly catastrophe then Carpathia's story is one of humanity's capability for goodness, of people doing the right thing simply for the sake of it. And I think that’s worth remembering too.
(There’s a longer, better written post on Reddit titled “this story the RMS Carpathia's rescue of titanic survivors is about as hfy as it gets” hfy = humanity, fuck yeah. I recommend reading it, it always gets me a little choked up)
I watched Cooking History with Max Miller‘s series on the Titanic and Carpathia and what struck me the most that the captain of the Carpathia told his staff to prepare breakfast for 2000 people because they expected to be able to save all of the passengers of the Titanic.
Not me getting back into my Titanic obsession again only to see you guys have posted a reaction to the movie. It must be fate lol 😂
My favorite aspect of this film was how important it was for James to be as accurate as possible. From the design of the ship, the costumes and the people. Yes, there’s a few things that were fabricated for the movie and there’s a fake love story and all but only a handful of people were actually made it. The majority of the characters were real people, even down to saying real quotes. All the people Rose discusses to Jack at dinner were all real, including Molly Brown of course. In fact, the story she’s talking about at dinner really happened to Molly. Every extra were playing real people, even if we didn’t know who they were. A great one is when Ismay and the Captain are talking about going faster. In the background there’s a woman and she looks over at them and you would think that was a goof on the actress’s part but no, that deliberate because a real first class passenger overheard their conversation. The elderly couple were also real, they were the founders of Macy’s department store. At first they wouldn’t let him on and she refused to go on the boat without him but later they were going to let him aboard but they both chose to stay so there was room for other people. Actually quite a few first class male passengers wouldn’t go on the boats for that exact reason too. The dad with the two daughters were also real, unfortunately he didn’t make it. Ismay did sneak on and he was blacklisted for the rest of his life because of it.
Another detail that’s probably my favorite is, the runtime for all the flashback scenes is 2:40, that’s exactly how long it took for the titanic to sink and the moment they see the iceberg to when it hits is 37 seconds and again, that’s how long it took in real life which is crazy to me, no wonder they didn’t have time to go around it! And what’s really sad is it’s shown now that if they had just let the ship hit the iceberg straight on it wouldn’t have sunk.
I’ve been fascinated by the real ship and sinking ever since I saw this movie. The stories are so interesting and there’s so many heroes that I wish they could have included but I understand you can’t include all of them. A big one was the guy sending out the S.O.S, he refused to leave and continued to communicate with other ships, even after the Captain told him to leave and save himself, he stayed there until he died. It is still so tragic!
It broke my heart learning that in real life the musicians actually played till they died when the ship went down. The Stradivarius violin the bandmaster played was actually found and rescued later from the water.
And then to learn they're families were sent a bill for their uniforms...😮😢
@ that’s so sad and disrespectful!! How dare those families be targeted during their grief! Those men should have been honored not billed.
Titanic is actually a dark comedy in that we spend 3 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, many people have said that Jack & Rose could have both fit on top of the door, but their combined weight would have submerged it, so Jack had to stay off of it to keep Rose mostly dry & not in freezing water. Finally, 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.
I‘ve read this comment on other Reaction Videos already 😂
Fun Fact.The majority of the Engineers chose to stay behind to keep the lights on as long as possible for the passengers.
It's been officially tested.
More lifeboats wouldn't have mattered.
In the time it would've taken to set it up, fill it to full capacity, AND lower it into the water, AND with every second counting, it was a miracle they got as many out as they did.
The big thing that saved time was people trying to cut the ropes in a panic. Shaved off about 30 seconds when they could cut one.
The allegory of Rose flying on the bow is all in her broach. Shes a butterfly stuck in a cocoon. People make fun of Roses line but its just perfect
Upon getting on the Carpathia, Ismay went into a cabin and didn't come out until it docked in New York.
He also was blacklisted for the rest of his life because he got on a boat.
Yeah, no, that's not what happened. We know for a fact that he had sent word to Olympic, Titanic's sister, who had also raced to save her but who wouldn't arrive until at least three hours after the sinking. Olympic's Captain wanted to pick up the Titanic's survivors from Carpathia and deliver them to New York, but Ismay had them turn back around and continue to NYC without them because he was worried that seeing Titanic's almost identical sister steam up was going to re-traumatise the survivors.
"Also now the ship of nightmares." ... Well, nightmares are still dreams, lol
Lol, that’s a fair point 👍 - Sam
Bill Paxton showed up in another James Cameron movie called True Lies. It stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold and a very young Eliza Dushku. It is worth a watch!
We’ve both seen it a ton back in the day. I’d love to rewatch though. It’s time 💪🏻😎 - Maria
@@samandmariachannel They actually filmed part of it near my grandparents' house in Washington DC. I recognized the car wash they drove past.
I cry every time I watch this movie, I remember watching this for the first time on VHS at grandpa's house and I was devastated
Like so many other people, I cry every time. This really happened. So many lives were lost. I mourn them even though I never knew them 💙💔
36:43 that was a genuine reaction from Kate Winslet. He wasn't supposed to do that.
Lovely 😊 - Maria
No that has been debunked by Billy Zane himself. Originally in the script he's not supposed to do that but Billy felt it's in Cal's character to be that horrible and to flip the table. So they rewrote the script and carefully planned the whole scene.
Also Billy said Kate could have got hurt if he did it wrong. That's why they prepared for it.
One of my favorite experiences was the 3D version of this in theaters. It was an anniversary of the film.
While we didn’t need the glasses for a majority of the film, Rose’s costumes popped up more. The beading and details stood out on screen. Made it worth seeing it in 3D.
I watched it in 3D too! It was released for the 15th anniversary, right?
Can’t really remember much about that experience 😕 aside from enjoying it 😅 - Maria
If you’re ever in Northern Ireland (I highly doubt you will be) I highly recommend the Belfast Titanic museum and just seeing the H&W cranes and the Titanic slipways.
I’d actually love to visit!😊 - Maria
The Titanic had about 2225 passengers on board. 908 of them (about 41%) were crew members.
I think the exact number of passengers (without crew) slightly differs from source to source, but only by a few.
Seen Titanic thousands of times still cry like its my first time watching. Titanic scared me cause the event and every man that had a mustache reminded me of my dad, so seeing men being told no you can't get on or dangling from rails makes me a mess even now at 31 years of age 😭
1:17:11 The musicians deciding to stay and play is my tear trigger. One of the most emotional moments in this film.
Maria, we share one brain. Since I've started watching your channel I don't think I've ever disagreed on anything you've said.
There's a deleted scene that explains why they were left by themselves:
Someone actually did try to warn them about iceberg sightings, and the person manning the telegrams told them to shut up.
Yeah, but that story is both misleading and exaggerated. It's misleading in the sense it had anything to do with a lack of response to their distress calls, and exaggerated in the sense that that was just how Marconi operators spoke to another back then, it was common chatter, not something any of them would have found offensive. The Californian's sole operator was simply turning in for the evening, which was standard procedure back then, when most ships only had a single wireless operator.
The Titanic was simply too far to the West of any of the other ships at that latitude and none of them would have reached her in time, with the Californian being debatable.
Believe it or not: the power going out is not historically accurate
The engineers all stayed on board to keep it on as long as they could so more passengers could get off.
They all died.
Wow 🙏🏻 - Maria
There were so many heroes on that boat that I wish they had included! But I get it, you can’t include everyone. One that has always stuck with me is the guy that was doing the S.O.S. He refused to leave his station and continued to communicate with the other ships, even after the Captain told him leave and save himself. He stayed there until he died.
@@samandmariachannelnot really, the Power did go out right when titanic breaked in half!

In a deleted scene Ruth is looking for rose and cal as well and relieves he sees a red headed woman he believed to be her and it wasn’t which showed he did care but his pride and jealously was too much to care fully for her
It's been a hot minute since I've seen TItanic, but I remember my fifth grade social studies teacher, Mr. Leonard, being obsessed with it. He had a model of it in his room encased in glass. He knew a ton of trivia and, at one point, he showed us a documentary because he couldn't quite get away with showing us the real thing. And even the documentary was pretty riveting.
Also, Maria, I LOVE your hair! 🤩🤩

Maria your hair is stunninggggggg, oh my god. Literally jaw dropped when I clicked on this reaction
1:26:59 not what actually happened.
She DID commandeer the boat and go back for more.
THAT'S what earned her the title Unsinkable.
That, and the Titanic wasn't her only sinking ship "rodeo" so to speak 😅
No, the movie got it more or less right: the women pleaded with quartermaster Hichens to return for survivors, but he refused.
In the morning Hichens had the boat tied up to lifeboat #16, but after a while Margaret Brown decided they should separate so that they could start rowing again to keep warm, threatening to throw Hichens overboard when he tried to stop them.
After her death, she became known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown" due to a combination of her many efforts during and after the sinking: assisting other passengers into the lifeboats, taking an oar in her lifeboat, urging Hichens to go back for survivors, commandeering the lifeboat and getting it to Carpathia, using her knowledge of languages to help non-English speaking survivors, helped organize the distribution of essential supplies, and spearheading a fundraising campaign among the first-class passengers to aid the less fortunate survivors.
All in all an amazing woman, but there is no evidence of her taking charge of the boat and going back for survivors.

The dolphins were CGI. That species of dolphin doesn't live in that part of the world.
The worst thing about this entire situation is, had they hit the iceberg head-on. The ship wouldn’t have sunk.
It only sank because they saw it WAY too late, attempted to turn, and side-swiped it.
Puncturing holes in the sides of the ship doomed them.
Oh, and something else I've read throughout the years. If they would've steered the ship directly into the iceberg, as opposed to trying to avoid it and slashing the side of the ship the way it did, the Titanic would've been damaged, but would've remained afloat until help arrived. Honestly, I've always found this movie to be too unrealistic. I come from a Cuban family. Cubans have crossed the 90 miles between Cuba and Florida on wooden doors, on cabinets, on improvised rafts. That's why, with all the furniture and the things on that ship, I find it absurd that hey died.
They shipwrecked in the Atlantic I winter, you can literally see they crashed into an iceberg and it was 112 years ago, the shock of the water and the small amount of time they had played against them, when you create your raft ON LAND and set it out to sea you still had a process of preparation that these people didn't have, it's also not the movie that's unrealistic since it's literally describing a major catastrophe that truly did happen.
@@Nightlady0228 Right, but I don't think Jack and Rose were based on actual people. All I was doing was putting myself in their place. So this is from my personal perspective. I've always been someone who improvises in the most absurd or unlikely ways. In the movie, there was at least an hour between the collision with the iceburg and the sinking of the ship. They were on a ship full of wooden furniture, metal objects. Whenever I criticize this movie, people tell me of course I'd survive cause I'm Cuban. You say that to build a raft it takes time and preparation. You've obviously never even heard of all the Cubans that have arrived on Florida's beaches. They've arrived on wooden boxes, they've arrived on mattresses. Look it up right now. Look up Cuban rafters.
@@DerekThomasLirio I have heard of Cuban rafters, but how did you expect these people to move the crates or wooden furniture from a sinking ship that was capsizing and literally went vertical for a while? They couldn’t put the wood on the boats, by the time they were in water they would be submerged in -2 C water, which would make them slower, send them into shock, slow them down even if they had the wits to build rafts, and again, most of these people wouldn’t be familiar with sailing, they were from all over the world in…again the year 1912. Kuddos to your Cuban resourcefulness but it’s not realistic to judge people from a century ago stuck in below freezing water for not surviving
@@Nightlady0228 I'm not judging. I was just saying that had Jack and Rose been Cubans instead of white people, they may have both survived. When Jack couldn't get on that door that Rose was on, he should've found another floating piece of furniture and hoped on, maybe cuddled with Rose until help arrived. Jack spends the entire movie being the smartest, most resourceful character. Assertive and determined. When the moment arrives for him to think, and his life hangs in the balance, he fumbles. I understand the protagonist was Rose and the story was about her growth. But it feels as if they disposed of Jack as a character with too much disregard for his significance in Rose's story. For Christ's sake, it's like in a century, when people commemorate the TH-camrs of old, they celebrate Maria as a historical figure. Yeah Sam, exactly. I see the expression on your face, and I agree. It is absurd. Maria is the future Rose Dawson.
The Titanic had more than 900 crew members, including the captain, cooks, servers, and engineering and deck crew.
There were around 900 crew aboard Titanic, around 700 of which died in the sinking. They make up the majority of the deaths. Third Class passengers come next in terms of death toll with around 700 aboard and only 174 surviving- this figure accounts for the vast majority of the 50 approximately child deaths. Including deaths from Second and First Class, there was, overall, around 1,500 people that died during the sinking.
And for a not so fun, fun fact, there were 12 dogs aboard, 9 of which died.
The Titanic was massive for its time, today it would be miniature- it would be a tugboat for a cruise ship.
Regards the little girl that cal gets to get on the life boat, it amazes me that no one that reacts to this movie never asks WHERE ARE THE PARENTS TO THAT LITTLE GIRL. Did they abandon her? No body ever asks that. 🤷♀️
Also they get angry with Cal for "using" that little crying girl,. as a way to get on one of the life boats. Yes he was, BUT in my opinion, it was also the only GOOD thing he did. IF Cal had just left the little girl there, and didn't use her to save himself, she would have died. So Cal DID save that little girl's life.
@patticrichton1135 that’s exactly what we said in the video - one way or another, he did save her - Maria
@@patticrichton1135 yes that is a great thing to save her, I just wondered where her parents were. In saying that we don’t know if her mother could have got her on the boat and saved her. I just wondered where the parents were. They left her.
I will never stop being annoyed that she throws the necklace into the ocean. All I can think is "that thing could have put all your grandkids through college you crazy lady".
Regarding why she never pawned the necklace, from the alternate ending:
The hardest part about being poor was being rich. Every time she fell on hard times, she thought about selling it. But then she'd remember how she got that far without Cals help. She's not gonna give him one more thought.
I watched the deleted scene and she let Bill Paxton hold it for one second before she dropped it in the ocean. That made me madder.
This was his livelihood and she dropped it in the ocean. I get the symbolism, but still.
Besides, the necklace was given to her by her toxic fiancé, so why does Rose associate the necklace with Jack? Just because he painted her with it on? So? In any case she should've kept the drawing, the necklace doesn't represent Jack at all. 😂
This has always been my favorite moment. It's like she's lifting the weight off her shoulders about the most tragic day of her life, where she lost not only her dead Jack, but her living mother as well.)
I always think that too!! How selfish 😂
Hi Sam. Hey Maria, the blue hair looks great 💙. Hope you both are having a good week
Not only Molly Brown survive this, she ALSO survived two different sinking ships.
1:19:55 the look on the Actor who played John Jacob Astor was real fear. As a child he survived the sinking of the William Gustav, a far worse disaster than the Titanic
Wilhelm Gustloff***
I shall never forget visiting the Titanic museum for the first time at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Seeing the many artifacts, the grand staircase, feeling the freezing cold waters, learning of your passenger’s fate by the end of the tour via your boarding pass. I’d love to take my mom there for her upcoming 50th birthday next summer! ❤
Hi Sam, hi Maria; hope you're both doing well. :) Former avid BtVS reaction viewer here (you probably don't remember me, haha), and I still watch some of your other videos sometimes (they bring a sense of comfort and "easiness" and, not to be a downer, but life is pretty rough these days). Anyways, my comment doesn't really have anything to do with this reaction itself (although I really enjoyed it), but mostly to tell you that I had the weirdest dream about the two of you yesterday: you were promoting a book (yeah, haha) that you were releasing, about your relationship, movies, TV shows, and other pop culture stuff that seemed pretty awesome. You both seemed so happy. Just thought it was a little tidbit that I should share with you, hoping to make you smile or something (rather than creep you out; sorry it's if creepy). Anyways, best of everything to both of you, keep on keeping on with the copyright laws, and thanks again. :)
Hi! Great to hear from you😊 thanks so much! Hope you’ve been well too 👍🏻
We absolutely do remember you. Lovely to hear you’re watching our other videos ✨ and we can definitely understand, it’s hard to live in this world right now. Glad our videos provide comfort and easiness.
We look for it these days a lot, and we try to create some of it, so it’s good to hear that we’re successful in that. Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh my god, your dream makes so much sense. The book and what it was about. I’d say it’s prophetic. Nothing concrete for the moment, though.
Thanks so much for sharing and getting in touch 💙 you brightened our day! Hope yours is going well too 😄

Bruce Ismay, Managing Director of the White Star Line, the man who insisted that they rush to arrive in NY early and who then snuck into a lifeboat, is portrayed really quite unfairly in this film and in history as a whole.
In reality, he never insisted that they arrive early (we don't even have proof that Titanic was at her top speed at the time of the collision). Titanic was not the big deal that she's portrayed as in the film because her almost identical sister, Olympic, had been launched the year before and was already in active service. By the time Titanic was making her maiden voyage, despite still being the biggest ships ever built at this point, she and Olympic were kinda becoming old news, given the vast and rapid developments happening in shipbuilding in this era.
When the evacuation began, Ismay was helping women and children in the lifeboats and only decided to save himself when he looked around on deck and literally couldn't find anyone else. By this point, he had helped load and lower several boats and once he got in one himself, it was already being lowered and Titanic was about 20 minutes away from sinking completely. He never took a seat from anyone available to actually take it.
And then, after Carpathia arrived and took aboard the survivors, Ismay sent word to Olympic, Titanic's aforementioned sister, as she was also racing to help but wouldn't be able to arrive until hours after the sinking. Olympic was intending to take on the survivors and deliver them to NY, but Ismay refused. He worried that Titanic's nearly identical sister rocking up on the horizon might, you know, just traumatise the survivors even more than they already were. And keep in mind that Carpathia was a ship of the White Star Lines main rival, Cunard. Ismay, Managing Director of the entire White Fucking Star Line decided that they were better off delivered to NY by their strongest competitors, rather than putting the survivors throught the sight of Olympic.
So, why is Ismay remembered as if he was some moustache twirling Disney villain, if he wasn't, in fact, that all evil? Well, because the asshole that owned the majority of the US newspapers had beef with him and ran a massive smeer campaign after the sinking to blame Ismay for everything and he succeeded. Despite both the British and American inquiries into the sinking clearing Ismay of wrongdoing, the general public hated and blamed him and Ismay is reported to have never psychologically recovered from the sinking or the aftermath of which.
The way I've thought to myself so many times if Sam's arm ever hurt from sitting like that 😂
Titanic is still the greatest movie-going experience of my life. Its an epic romance on par with Gone With The Wind and Casablanca. The final scene of Rose going back to Titanic is possibly the greatest, most powerful ending in film history.
Before i left twitter i saw a tweet saying Rose to put it nicely "slept around" just because she wouldn't stay in an abusive relationship with the guy she was forced to marry, i then sent a still of Rose giving the middle finger 😅
Where did that idea come from ? How could there be any "background" information when Rose is a fictional character and not a representation of a real person who was on the Titanic? Rose, Jack, Cal, his manservant, Rose's mother and Jack's 2 friends on the ship were the only fictional characters in the movie. All the others you see or hear about were actors representing the REAL people that sailed on the Doomed ship.
There were 2,240 people on the Titanic 908 of them were Crew or Staff.
Wrong there’s 2;220 people on board
This is a perfect film, & one of the greatest of all time. And holds up remarkably well today. The love & care & attention to detail that went into this film is insane. I was..9/10yrs old when this came to theaters. Originally I only got to see it three times in theaters (cause I was so little I obviously didn’t have my own money- I still have my original 3 ticket stubs) but any & every time it’s been rereleased in theaters since then I’ve always gone, & always will go, because it’s how it should be seen & experienced. I know every word, every inflection, every note of this movie. My Grandma got me the soundtrack as an Easter present & I’d listen to it over & over again whenever I was reading or doing homework, or coloring. I consumed every article, every book I possibly could both on the film & the actual ship & sinking. This also 100% started my Leonardo DiCaprio full on obsession (the only thing I’d ever seen him in previously was in Growing Pains as Luke, in which I found him very cute, but we all know TITANIC is peak Leo). But I went on to see I think almost every film he’s ever done. & he’s one of the greatest actors of our time, just slightly behind Christian Bale for me.
My Dad had family that lived in Newfoundland & we went when I was 12/13 to visit, any & every shop we went into I begged for TITANIC everything.
My family’s lived in Colorado since I was 7/8yrs old, & of course Molly Browns home is here so I’ve been there a few times.
The way this story & film has consumed so much of my life is kinda crazy. I can’t remember like 80% of what I ever learned in school, but I can quote every single word of this film. I watch it every April. & I cry every single time ❤
Loved y’alls reaction to this movie!🫶🏼 there were around 1332 passengers and 908 crew members(35 engineers for the engine room of which no one survived and a estimated 176 firemen for the coal ect. Of which 45 survived) on the titanic which makes a total of 2240 people on board.. about 1500 people unfortunately lost their lives , 212 crew members and the rest were passengers!
Just like the movie “The impossible” this movie also is connected to my family! (I’ve unfortunately lived through the event of Boxing Day 2004 at the age of 4)
But I’m related to 1 of the titanic passengers Johan Reuchlin , who was the director of the Holland America line Travel agency! He was invited by Bruce Ismay himself to travel with them on the maiden voyage after the old director had to cancel because of a family emergency…
he unfortunately went down with the ship but crazy thing about it all is that the ship could have gone down earlier because they almost collided with SS New York! But I’ve always said if the titanic II will happen , I’ll definitely want to consider sailing the routes of 1912.
Thanks for the support and extra info! - Sam
A sad fact is if they hit the iceberg head on, it would have caused less damage 😢
Oh damn, that’s crazy to think about. I wonder if anyone involved knew that - Sam
It's debated how much damage a head on collision would have caused, but regardless, no sailor in his right mind would have sailed a brand new ship directly into an iceberg. Even if it had resulted in no deaths, his career would have been over and he possibly could have even faced jail time 😅
I heard James Cameron wanted to make a documentary about the Titanic.
The people that could give the go-ahead thought it would be two boaring.
So he said, "What if we turn it into a romance?"
And the Titanic movie we know today was born.
Also, she wasn’t rich. She had nothing but her name and rutation. Her father lost it all before his death. That's why she was essentially being sold to this rich man.
I'm just here to see if Sam is gonna cry 😂
A little bit. I’m really not that much of a crier 😅
If you don’t know who Molly Brown is you should watch the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown. I live in Colorado and her home is now a museum here in Denver.
Also Maria, I love the blue hair!
After learning more about Titanic and its history, I feel bad for figures that weren’t portrayed accurately in this movie.
The ones I remember that were discussed the most was Ismay and the crew member that committed suicide.
Ismay wasn’t a coward who went on a life boat first. He helped passengers onto the lifeboats.
The crew member who shot himself in the film did not do so in real life and his family were outraged about that scene in the film. They spoke out against it.
Have to mention if it weren’t for Andrews for making a last minute change to the rivets, the boat wouldn’t even stay afloat for 2 hrs 40 minutes.
Murdoch is that crew member you are thinking of.
@ thank you. So bad with names.
They misrepresented Captain Smith a bit too! The ship is sinking and he's kind of just stunned, walking about. In reality, we have eye witness testimonials that he was actually attempting to co-ordinate the evacuation/rescue
It's like Gone With The Wind. Cameron is using an actual historical event as the backdrop of his love story and a template for his art.
@ poor guy.
There are therories, that I've heard in recent documentaries, where they talk about if they just rammed into the iceberg (instead of turning and scrapping it like they did) that the ship might have been able to stay afloat. I'm not a historian so don't quote me on that.
But in the adrenaline of the moment, they clearly thought that avoiding it was the better option. Which as we know, the little divets the iceberg put into the ship made it a doomed ship, along with a bunch of other factors. Like historians have said the iron the ship was made with was a little deficient, both the plates and rivets so it was more weak than believed.
I don't think you've watched Titanic 2. Very unrealistic because it takes place in like 2010. But it exists.
A not so fun fact, there were no standard safety protocols in case of ships sinking before the Titantic and that none of the staff ran drills for that before the ship set sail. That's why you see the staff be so flustered when talking to people, especially those in steerage when it was happening, why the boats were not filled to capcity and why certain scenes like the one life boat crushing the other occuring. After the sinking of the Titantic, there was push to do safety protocols by the public after hearing about the tragedy and why we have those protocols now a century later.
The bow "I'm flying Jack' scene was actually filmed on Kate Winslet's birthday.
OMG! This was a classic with my ma and I! I can remember reading titles out to my mother from the channel guide, and always, ALWAYS choosing Titanic, only to turn the channel away once the tragedy part began
I love titanic i literally listen to it as im falling asleep. Im always out before the tragedy strikes as the last thing i remembef hearing is jack and rose at the party
31:05 Maria is so pretty ❤ that hair color brings out her eyes too 💎 💎
One of the best movie’s all time!
It always kills me how she's talking about being so cold while Jack and others are IN THE WATER FREEZING TO DEATH. I know she wouldnt be in her right mind during all this but still.
One of the greatest movies of all time it's chef's kiss. I remember going to see this in theaters with my grandma and cousins when it came out when I was 12. It really f'd my head up as a pre-teen lol that's when my fear of ships and boats was unlocked and I said NOPE I can never do boats 😂
you should look into the real molly brown, she was pretty awesome! she was a socialite, philanthropist, suffragette, and the first woman to run for congress amongst other things
So glad I'm watching this 2x at the cinema on their 25th anniversary 💙 with 3D4K, something I have been dreaming since looong time ago when I was a kid to watch titanic at the cinema and feel the experience
🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭
The reason why one officer was letting only women and children into lifeboats and another was letting women and children first and then filling empty seats with men, was due to differing interpretations of the Captain's orders. Second Officer Lightoller took it to mean that no man could aboard a lifeboat at all until all women and children were evacuated, while First Officer Murdoch took the orders to mean simply women and children got the first chance at a seat and if he couldn't find a willing woman, then men were next. As seen in the film, many women weren't willing at all. Getting off Titanic and into these row boats that were so much smaller and much less safe and comfortable by comparison when they didn't understand the severity of the situation simply didn't seem like the right move to them. Especially when it meant leaving behind husbands, father's, brothers, even young sons as, depending on the officers view, even boys as young as 15 could classify as a 'man'.
there where 2229 people and only 700 people lived, 900 were crew
There’s 2,220 people
Oo Maria’s hair looks so pretty in blue💙 did not expect this movie from you guys but I’m here for it
Hey sam and Maria they have a titanic tv show from 2012 that has 4 episodes that tell the stories of the first, second and 3rd class as well as the officers and maids that worked on the ship it was also really good
The unsinkable mrs brown survived 3 si kings in her lifetime
Actually, the Mollie Brown at the end is frustrating. Bc irl she DID go back and save ppl. Like the women took over the boat, like “fuck these moron, we’re going back to save ppl”
No, sadly, Molly Brown's boat (lifeboat #6) did not go back. We have conflicted testimony as to who said what in that lifeboat - some survivors said it was Hitchens, the ship's quartermaster and the assigned master to lifeboat #6, who threatened Brown and some say it was Brown who threatened him.
Regardless of that, it's indeed true that Brown insisted the lifeboat return to help the people in the water. For whatever reason, they ultimately did not. Only two lifeboats returned to pick anybody up out of the water - lifeboats #4 and #14.
Them not filling the lifeboats they had really pisses me off!
I'm french and live in the city where they make those big cruise boats. The Titanic was tiny tiny compare to the monsters we have todag
Love this movie it’s definately in my top 10 movies of all time along with Braveheart ( i’m scottish so that has to be in it), The crow (Brandon Lee), Deadpool, and my top 4 are the planet of the apes reboot Rise, Dawn, War and Kingdom those movies are masterpieces, pure perfection. Take care and thanks for the reaction to Titanic. 😘🏴
This such a great and very emotional movie ❤️❤️ the fact it’s based on real life events makes it sadder because you see that a lot of people died that day and a few survived. The love story between Rose and Jack is the best part of this movie the chemistry between Leo and Kate is amazing 🤩 and I feel they both could of been saved like Jack didn’t have to sacrifice himself 😔 the casting is great and the soundtrack is beautiful 😍 My Heart Will Go On is still such a beautiful song ❤️❤️ Enjoyed you guys reaction can’t wait to see what you do next time 😉😊👍
1:35:20 When she died and imagined going back to Jack Dawson what about her daughters father and her husband? Didnt she love him too? Or not 🤨
I was Nine months old when Titanic came out in December of 1997 Still a All Time Classic after 27 Years Later!.
Oh, I like your blue hair Maria.
35:36 Did Cal mean he'd wished Rose 🌹 would have come to his bed last night? And slept with him or something else???
