In 2007 I wrote to Gloria Stuart and asked if I could send her a copy of her autobiography to sign, along with some DVD covers, and she graciously replied she would. She actually lived right across the street from the house where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered. I sent her a box with my items and a week later received them back all signed with a lovely hand written letter from her. Those are some of my most cherished possessions. She passed away in 2010.
Wow, that’s was so gracious and kind of her. A true movie star!! Thank you for sharing your awesome story with us.
Wow! I thought movie stars got so much mail, they couldn't possible reply to it. Shows you how much I know.
@@davidho2977 If I tried that with Kate or Leo I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten the same reply.
@@cdpetee
How did you know her address?
@@ixela7 There was a fan mail website back then and it listed an actor's agency if you wanted to write them. Gloria had retired from acting and the website only listed her home address. I sent her a postcard first to ask if she was okay with me sending her stuff to sign and she sent one back that said yes.
I've seen Titanic countless times, but while I was watching last week, the emotional weight of Rose's pictures finally hit me, and I CRIED. The fact that she lived her life in honor of Jack and did the things they wanted to do together hit me so hard this last time. I can just imagine her thinking of Jack while she rode the horse in the surf.
I saw it in the theatre yesterday and Jack dying definitely hit harder than the dozens of times I saw it, years ago.
omg same. i saw it yesterday in 3D in theaters and i have never cried harder. i dont care what they say. they both could've lived. they could've taken turns on the board if they couldn't both fit. THEY COULD HAVE LIVED
@@indiaslays It bothered me so much more this time around! He was so young and they had just found each other! I think because the surrounding theme was based on real events, made the fictional love story that much harder to take. :-( He deserved to live!
i also watched it again in the theater yesterday and kept myself together pretty well, even when jack died, until she said "dawson. rose dawson." then i started crying 😭
I have always noticed that , especially the horse ! Oml I remember always being so excited and happy for her that she rode a horse as he said he would teach her
“Titanic was known as the Ship of Dreams” is the quote that Rose says before she begins her story so when she dreams of the Titanic and being reunited with Jack and everyone that died on the Titanic, she envisioned the Titanic in her dream to match with her description.
All the passengers are altogether in the Grand Staircase all 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes showing that they all died together regardless of class and lastly when Rose and Jack kissed, Captain Smith was the last to applaud because as the saying goes “the captain is always the last to leave the ship”
She isn't dreaming it. She died. That is how Cameron wrote it. While he said it can be left up to interpretation, why and how could anyone see it as anything but her dying? Her dying wasn't sad, as she was finally reunited with Jack, so why would people want to think she's just dreaming? She died. Except it.
@@englishatheart I never said she didn’t die. I was just mentioning it in relation to her quote about titanic being “the ship of dreams” so her final dream before she died was of the Titanic. I accept the theory that she died because it’s meaningful but I also think this was her last dream before passing away. Everyone had their own opinions, learn to be more open instead of shoving yours down other people’s throats. Also it’s *accept it* not *except it*. If you’re going to try to be persuasive, use proper English
@@englishatheart He intentionally filmed it in an ambiguous way. While I agree that I think she dies in the end - it all adds up to that, in my opinion, as opposed to her dreaming - James Cameron has never, ever stated publicly what he intended. Gloria Stuart, who played older Rose, didn't even know what she was acting out when she was lying in bed. She asked Cameron how she should lay, sleeping or dead, and he responded with 'Just lie still. You don't need to know!' So, no, that's not 'how Cameron wrote it'. While you think it makes the most sense that the ending is her dying, and even I agree with you, we will never know Cameron's true intentions. He stated in multiple interviews; "I'll never tell. Of course, I know what we intended...The answer has to be something you supply personally; individually." He wants us to draw from within what we believe/need/want the ending to be. People will argue tooth and nail about this ending. The truth is, what makes it great is that it IS ambiguous.
If someone thinks she is dreaming, just let them think it and let it go.
Dreamed? I thought she she finally passed and he was waiting....
God loves u all, please come to him because his son died for you so you can escape the fire and torture in hell. Hell is real and it’s worse then you think but god loves you that his son came to earth and died for you so you can find eternal life. Please repent and follow him before it’s too late.
25 years later, and Titanic is still one of the greatest movies ever made.
And will always be
Yes Sir.
God bless you.
Agreed!!!
It is *THE* greatest movie ever made
Shame that movies today can’t compare to even BAD movies
What annoys me is when people talk about Rose saying, “I’ll never let go,” then releases his hand as Jack sinks. The whole story is following Rose, and her journey of finding herself, and how meeting Jack changed her life. For Rose, going on the Titanic was a pinnacle moment in her life for numerous reason. There are scenes where Jack is encouraging her to be herself, live her life, follow her dreams, and he was reminding her at the end to no matter what, promise to do that. She kept her promise, and that’s what she meant when she said, “I’ll never let go (of my promise).”
Exactly….they’ll be like she literally let go…..it annoys me so much
I always saw it as her saying "I'll never let go (of your memory") but yours also makes perfect sense
It could also be from when she was attempting s**cide and jack warns her not to leg go (of the railing) so by her saying "I'll never let go" could also be her referring to that moment saying she 'never give up'.
It's like the people who say Jack could have floated on the panel with Rose are also missing the point.
The point is that Jack has die. Because Rose and Jack aren't just characters, they're narrative devices. We fall in love with Rose and Jack, then we experience Rose's loss - feel her pain and understand some small measure of the suffering experienced that night.
1500 is difficult to comprehend, so it's difficult to really understand the tragedy of Titanic. So the movie gives us tragedy on smaller scale, Rose losing Jack, to allow us to comprehend the larger scale tragedy a little better.
@@Dr-Pip - It's closing the circle, because one of the first things she says to him is "I'll let go, I mean it". Before Rose meets Jack, she's ready to give up and after she meets him she's ready to take life on.
The pic of Rose on the horse with the roller coaster in the background is pure beauty. I'm a huge fan of Titanic and it's those details that make the movie even more powerful. Shout out lovers of Titanic.
That photo and the cast procession is why I don't believe the theories that Rose is just sleeping. That was a very specific goal she had, and we see that she realized it. And Jack says that "(she) will die an old woman, warm in her bed" and that's exactly how we last see Rose before the trip back to Titanic. AND everyone we see there welcoming her to the ship died in the sinking. I don't get how anyone can interpret it any other way
@@mariskelley8831 a actually she died , if you see some deleted scenes from titanic , there is a scene where jack sees a shooting star and tells rose that it is a soul going to heaven , now in that last scene just before rose lying on that bed you can see a shooting star in the sky which connects that line from jack.
On the last point, I always thought that Rose died at the end of the film, and that is the reason why she was on the grand staircase with all the other dead characters, that's why you see Jack, the Cap, Edward Smith, Thomas Andrews etc and not Molly Brown, Cal or Rose's mother. Rose died.
I always just thought it was her dreaming but in light of the people you mention that aren't there, I don't know, you might actually be right. That being said, I don't think she would have dreamt of Cal considering she left him for Jack, not to mention the fact that he tried to shoot her. She didn't seem too fond of her mother either. And I don't recall her having much interaction with Molly Brown.
Isn't that headcanon? I thought it was obvious that she dies at the end.
@@hermiona1147 I watched a doc where James Cameron said she was just asleep
@@elbryan9 I don't think there was anyone she particularly liked who survived. But literally everyone in the room were people who died.
@@NewNightmare115 He never actually said that, he has said he left the ending ambiguous so the viewer can decide whether they believe she died or was simply asleep. He even said in an interview that Gloria Stewart, who played older Rose, wasn't informed of what exactly she was portraying as she was lying there in the bed. He told her, 'Just lie still. You don't need to know!' When she inquired as to what exactly she was doing; laying there asleep or dead. In a later interview, when asked about whether Rose died or is asleep, Cameron said, "I'll never tell. Of course, I know what we intended...The answer has to be something you supply personally; individually." Which I think makes the ending so much better, that it's left ambiguous. It makes the ending fit to whatever the viewer wants/needs it to be.
You missed important facts also about this movie. The old couple we see briefly hugging on their bed while the water is flowing underneath are Isidor and Ida Strauss. They were the founders of Macy’s. They travelled in first class and she refused to board the lifeboat saying: I lived my life with my husband and I will die with him. Also, in the scene where Carl is chasing Rose and Jack down the staircase, shooting at them, you briefly see at the bottom of the staircase a wall with 2 tapestries. They were from Aubusson in France and were commissioned again for the movie and so did the carpets! Finally, we see the dogs being walked on deck earlier in the movie and one swimming as the ship is sinking. A brave soul open the cages where the dogs were being held before the ship sank, so they would not die locked in. Sadly, none survived but it was a beautiful act before the tragic end of so many souls. James Cameron did an extraordinary job recreating to the most minute details of the liners and the events that happened that night. Absolutely incredible!
Great fact, but everyone knows this
Three dogs survived. I think all Pomeranians.
I believe one was a Pekinese, named ‘Sun Yat Sen’
@@carlycrays2831 But it wasn’t in the video….
The only problem with that scene is they were on deck at the end. They didn't go to their bed to die
Old Rose says, “A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.” Key words: heart, ocean, secrets. It was a subtle nod that she secretly possessed the Heart of the Ocean. NOBODY caught that.
When she said those words in the movie I cried.. when she said she never spoke about Jack to anybody, not even your grandfather.. it felt like she was talking to me & I became a basket case lol
REALLY? Nobody did? I did as a little kid.
A friend of mine used to end every email with, "A woman's heart is a devotion of secrets!"
@@LAkadian Same lol I was 9 watching this movie in the theatre in 1997. People think a lot of common sense things go over kids' heads. I remember watching for the first time and realizing she must have the necklace when Lewis Bodine is trying to convince Brock Lovett that Rose is a fraud and he says "everyone who knows about the necklace is supposed to be dead or on this ship, but she knows!" The fact that she's WEARING it for God's sake in the drawing labelled the day the ship sank was a big enough flashing neon sign that she still had the necklace.. One just naturally assumed she'd worn it, forgot in the panic of the ship sinking, went through everything then was rescued still wearing it... The whole putting it back in the safe, Cal taking it out of the box and putting it in his coat pocket, then later putting that coat on Rose was a clever out of sight, out of mind then aha! moment, but anyone with half a brain should have made the connection as soon as the drawing was shown closely.
Fun Fact: There was a Japanese immigrant (Masabumi Hosono) on the Titanic who survived the sinking, as depicted by a deleted scene. IIRC, when he returned to Japan, he was basically shunned by everyone for not going down with the ship, with the Japanese code of honor at the time saying it it better to die with honor than to live like a coward.
RIP Bill Paxton, David Warner and Gloria Stuart.
Bernard Fox
James Horner
John Kenneth Wiseman, they were so wonderful in that movie. I own it and never tire of watching it, and I still cry every time. I'm watching a movie now on Hulu called The Secret of Crickley Hall and David Warner is in it. It was driving me crazy trying to remember what I'd seen him in. Then it dawned on me. I never knew much about Gloria Stuart, but I loved Bill Paxton. His death was so unnecessary and tragic. He was a great actor.
I was an xtra in the film, 3rd class passenger/stoker. It was an amazing experience to be there !
DUDE THATS SO FUCKING COOL IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN EXTRA ON A FILM HOW DO I DO THAT HOW DO HOU GET A PART.
@@Lucy.andress Hi Lucy, I had just returned off the road. 3 yrs as a Ringling clown. That was wild too. Local news said to go downtown w/ headshot and resume'. I'm of Irish descent. I had the right features. Then casting said I'd make good "stoker". It was an added bonus and the nights on the set were magical. Don't blink or you'll miss me.
That's so cool! Something to tell the grand kids one day!
I was an extra once in a B movie that starred Michael Moriarty and Paul Sorvino, the movie included lots of tractor trailers and I was the only one of eight of us that got multiple scenes, I was just a kid then and it seemed so cool to be a part of this. THE STUFF... just a side note, Paul servino's daughter Mira Sorvino was just a young girl and she actually climbed up into my rig and ate my lunch.. that's my claim to fame LOL
@@northeastadventuremotorcycleri Hi Northeast, I'm gonna have to watch The Stuff. Not a bad way to spend a few days right ? Cheers.
I noticed these things because I was an extra in the movie! I was on set between Sept of '96 and March of '97. It was great fun!
No way!!! What part did you play as an extra?
And no answer
Sure sure
I'm so jealous. This is my favorite movie EVER! I have it in 3D!
I would have loved that !!! Good for you 👍
James Cameron actually appears multiple times on screen, playing a 3rd class passenger with a dark beard. He is getting his beard inspected before boarding, he is at the 3rd class party, but the one that stands out to me (and appears at 14:36 of this video) is that he’s the man on the far left of the group of people on the top level during the final scene. There’s others that I’ve missed out, he appears like 15 times in total.
Oh, that’s him?! Wow, thanks a lot!
Was he also the hands that drew the photos of Rose? I read that somewhere.
@@celestryrose6687 i think so
What annoys me about people's critique of Rose is that Jack tried to share the door with her. She didn't push him off or try to hog it for her own survival. When he realised that it would sink with him on it he made sure that she stayed on the door so that she had a better chance of survival. It wasn't Rose being selfish. It was him being a don. I do think they could've taken turns and if it were the man I love then we would've but this is a film and the writing of it isn't in our control.
This is actually my fave movie so it was interesting to find out a couple of things I didn't know about it before.
I think the idea of taken turns could kill them both. They both freeze, yes Rose freezes slower then Jack but still her body spends great amount of energy to keep itself alive. Just look how weak she is when a life boat returns in search for survivals. She would definitely freeze much faster then Jack in the cold water, which means that they would need to change places several times before the rescue. On the second or third turn they both most likely would become so weak, they barely could hold the door frame, not speaking about climbing on top of it. Their coordination would become worse literally every minute. Jack made the right decision, otherwise they both would be dead.
Yes and Jack didn’t have a coat on
Yes and Jack didn’t have a coat on but rose did
What part of "it's not a door" didn't you get?
@@bayousbambino427 It was a piece of dresser they said . But I feel like , it wasn’t that they were too heavy but the way they tried to disperse their weight on the wood . He is heavier than her so Everytime he would get on it would tip . I whole heartedly believe they should’ve laid on top of each other in the middle of the door .
For someone like me who ate everything Titanic history and movie. Congratulations “what culture”. Over half of these facts are really new to me. Excellent.
Screw this woke shite film and you to snowflake go kiss bitches asses some where else
Your comment spurred me to watch this video. 👍
Right!?!? Especially the door being a door frame. My head almost exploded 🤣
Cool, I read the caption and thought, doubtful. I will check it out.
Without reading my comment above (although you should for some various Titanic production(s) back history), what did the Crew caps say for any of the reverse shots? You ether know or might reason it out .....but it's a bit synchronicitic with the sinking ship.
Imagine surviving the Titanic just to get hit by a car a few years later and die. That's some *Final Destination*
That would be death being next level petty for not being successful the first time
There was one survivor that I believe died of a heart attack about a year later if not six months later can’t remember his name
James Cameron’s obsessive need fot accurate detail actually solved a longstanding mystery: what happened to the grand stair case?
When the titanic was discovered the grand staircase was missing and many believed that it either was destroyed in the sinking or it rotted away in the decades underwater.
Cameron made the staircase out of the exact same wood as the original and as close in detailing as possible.
During filming of the scene where water is pouring into the ship and J&R are fighting their way up the staircase/Cal is shooting at them as the room fills with water, the staircase suddenly broke away from it’s moorings (actually pinned some of the stunt doubles-no one was hurt thankfully) and began to float.
Cameron realized that they’d essentially built a perfect model of whar may have happened that night- the staircase while large and heavy, became buoyant as the sea water rushed in, detaching it from its moorings. So it’s more than likely that the staircase was swept out to sea once the ship broke in half
One thing you didn’t mention about the scene with the boy and the top: the taller man in the scene is Don Lynch, a Titanic historian who, along with Ken Marshall (an illustrator whose pictures are actually inspired some of the scenes), wrote the book which Cameron used when writing his script. Cameron invited both of them to come down and have a cameo in the film but only Lynch was able to do so.
Titanic is one of my very favorite movies and I’m not going to mention how many times I’ve seen it, so I did know most everything mentioned in this video . It’s still enjoyable to revisit these bits of trivia though
likewise
That's some cool info! Thank you 😁
She didn't see them because those 3 didn't die on Titanic. The only ones she saw when she dies (or dreaming) was those who were aboard the ship when it sank
Marshall had also worked with James Cameron before (his matte painting scene ends the original TERMINATOR), but Cameron complained about Marshall's accuracy of the scene and often repainted them himself. Years later, Marshall was invited to meet with Cameron to consider becoming the film's "visual consultant" (as Marshall's paintings of the Titanic were used as inspiration). Marshall was scared to death Cameron would remember he had worked on THE TERMINATOR a decade before.
When Cameron finally recognized Marshall, he actually apologized. "That scene was set up all wrong, and that was my fault at the time." Marshall accepted the apology and enjoyed collaborating on the film.
I love that they didn’t airbrush or cgi the stretch marks on Rose’s breast. I have them myself and I believe that even some women with small breasts get them from the teenage growth spurt. It just made her seem like more of a real person than a Hollyweird construct.
Are you serious?? 🤔. U actually noticed a very small detail that other people wouldn't even be looking for?? . Do u have a boob fetish??? 🤔 😕 😨 😱 😀
I think that even with the knowledge of that fact, I still wont notice those marks or care that they are there.
Then you REALLY wouldn’t want to see my stomach after giving birth to our daughter! It looks like an Atlantean roadmap!! 🤣🤣
@@awakenyewhosleeprealityisn4860 As a man I feel I can affirm to you that if we’re at the point of seeing your body laid bare before us, we’re not gonna care/notice!
Although I’m all for not airbrushing stuff for no reason, it’s just, not needed. 7 year old me certainly didn’t notice the stretch mark either!
@@trollofduty007 "we’re not gonna care/notice!"
Also as a man i seconded and confirm this Lol
Titanic is my favorite movie of all time. I haven't seen it in years. It was on 3D at a movie theater and it was amazing, but I had to leave to pickup my son unexpectedly from school so I missed most of it. I'd love to see it again in 3D.
The doll's head that is seen on the ocean floor at the beginning of the movie, was also based on a real-life sighting of a porcelain doll's head by Robert Ballard when he found the wreckage. At first, he thought it was a skull, and it scared the daylights out of him.
One quote that everyone who saw the movie with me missed: After Rose and Jack get away from Cal, Cal exclaims "I put the diamond in the coat. I put the coat on her!" Yet at the end of the movie, when old Rose reveals that she had the diamond all along, everyone gasped at the same time. Hundreds of simultaneous gasps!
I thought it was just such a stressful part of the movie that it was easy to forget that.
i think cal probably just put in a claim for the insurance. He assumed she drown when he could not find her on the carpathia and she changed her name to dawson.
@Hans Cannot imagine what the would havevtalked about
I thought everyone was gasping when she pulled it from her coat pocket bc they. Holding believe it was still in there and didn’t fall out during the all the craziness.
@@Alie182 that's what I thought, too. It was truly remarkable that the necklace stayed in her coat pocket through allllllllllll of that!
One thing I didn’t notice until later on was when Rose lands on the boat with all of her luggage (“She doesn’t exactly travel light, does she?”) is foreshadow that she knows she’s there to tell her story, return the diamond to its rightful resting place, and die there where she left Jack. It’s hinted too when Jack says to her, “you’re fine a die an old woman in bed, you’re not going die here, *not* *today* .”
Why would old Rose need all that luggage is she's expecting to die out there? I think it was just to show that she stayed true a bit to her personal quirks throughout life because when she's boarding the Titanic she also has tons of crap with her, including the paintings.
@@victoire614 I read it as she was bringing all of her personal stuff with her she kept close, like her photos and other trinkets
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse-Tyson noticed that the Night Sky shown on the night of the sinking was the "Incorrect sky." He brought this to Cameron's attention when they had a chance to meet and Cameron responded how if he had the correct Night Sky that he would have received the same amount of Academy Awards as he did. Humbled and shut down, Neil decided to shut-up about the nerdy Astrophysicist complaint.
Years later when Cameron released a remastered edition, Cameron contacted Dr. Tyson and asked him for the correct Night Sky, vindicating the Astrophysicist.
This is one of Neil DeGrasse-Tyson's favorite stories.
Thanks for this amazing tidbit. I'm a scientist and I love Neil Degrasse Tyson...couple that with my lifelong love of Titanic, and this news has made my entire day.
James Cameron also noted that he knew it wasn't accurate - if you look at the original cut, the stars form the necklace. It was an artistic choice.
Neil didn't notice shit, he read it off a blog.
Neil is Neil's best fan. He is as obnoxious as Bill Nye.
@Hans Agreed. Bill Nye plays the part of a science guy by wearing a bow tie and a white lab coat.
James Horner. Dude, when I heard about him dying from his plane crash, I cried. Man was insanely TALENTED. I fell in love with his work when I first saw The Land Before Time and the song If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross. Song ALWAYS reminds me of my Sister who has since passed. And since then, he's remained in a special place in my heart. I mean the man worked on SO MANY films. The Land Before Time, Titanic, Avatar, The Amazing Spiderman, Braveheart, Casper, Apollo 13, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Balto, Aliens, Jumanji, Cocoon, ECT. Man was unbelievably talented. One of the GREATEST music composers of today's time. He is missed!! R.I.Paradise, Mr. Horner. ❤️❤️
And the ENDING of the movie, where the men are smiling opening the door, and Rose walks in, greeted by warm smiles from the victims aboard the Titanic, and then finally she is reunited with her true love, and they kiss and everyone cheers. Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. ❤️ ALWAYS gets me extremely emotional. I can't wait until The Good Lord calls me Home, and I too am reunited with all those that I lost, that I love dearly. ❤️❤️
❤
At 6:31, the tall man in the hat in the "actual photo recreation" was played by author and historian Don Lynch, who is (among other things) the chief historian for the Titanic Historical Society, and one of the world's foremost experts on the disaster. He was a consultant on the film, and Cameron thanked him by giving him a cameo.
14:55-- Biggest clue this was Rose's "Death" (another theory well-discussed in 1997-98) was that everyone that greets Rose when she comes to the Grand Staircase were all people that had died during the sinking, including the little girl (whose own death scene where she and her parents drowned was deleted from the film because upon viewing, Cameron thought it was too "brutal" to watch a child dying onscreen)
I realized that too
Plus the fact that she is an old lady warm in her bed (well, a bed on the ship.. but sleeping peacefully surrounded by her photos). Just as she had promised Jack.
Too bad for her husband though. He didn't get to ride on heaven Titanic after being married to her for almost a century. Nah it was her fuckboy 100 years ago for a couple of days. I guess her husband only got a 3rd class ticket.
actually she died , if you see some deleted scenes from titanic , there is a scene where jack sees a shooting star and tells rose that it is a soul going to heaven , now in that last scene just before rose lying on that bed you can see a shooting star in the sky which connects that line from jack.
And it’s over the same geographical location as Jack went to his watery grave ❤❤
One that gets me and I never see anyone mention it is this. Rose's granddaughter takes care of her, even accompanied rose to the ship she shares her story with. Rose mentions how she has to have her pictures when she travels which as we see later on they're of young rose doing all those exciting things but when grandma rose is looking at the recovered drawing of her(young rose) her granddaughter questions her and says " you really think that's you grandma?" "It is me dear, wasn't I a dish?" Is roses response. Now wouldn't the granddaughter damn well know and recognize that it is rose in the drawing based off her whole life being around grandma and seeing her old photos?? Lol this one bugs me everytime. same goes for the Caldesh crew aswell considering they want confirmation having her answer their questions related to the necklace/her history, she could have simply refered them to her photos, confirming the woman in the picture is her.
I never thought of that lol.
maybe she's just overcome by seeing her grandma naked though; the thought of seeing an elderly relative naked (even in a century-old picture) probably makes people's brains shut down
I had this exact thought for years! It's like no one believes that she was capable of being the woman in the drawing even though there's solid proof staring at their faces.
@@MarcLL totally agree!
The actress that plays Rose’s granddaughter is also James Cameron’s wife.
I’m such a sap just burst into tears watching this video. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out in 1997 my sis and our two gfs one of who was 8 months pregnant and we were literally crying so hard after the movie we walked out crying and had to sit for about 15 minutes to gather our emotions before we could drive home.
Just watched this movie for the first time since I saw it in theaters… it absolutely, undoubtedly holds up 100%. The acting, wardrobe, environments, everything.
It truly is a masterpiece.
Titanic is being re-released this month in 3D. I saw the 3D version ten years ago, and will certainly go again. This on top of the ten times I saw the film when it first came out, and the untold dozens of times I've watched in on VHS and DVD.
Yeah, I love the film, but I keep hoping Frederick Fleet will see the iceberg a bit sooner this time, and save the ship! 😀
This is exactly how I felt watching the film again in the theater a few days ago! Cameron creates incredible tension in the couple of minutes leading up to the collision and there's an irrational part in the back of your brain saying 'maybe it will be different this time'. A tribute to how well the film was made.
I saw it
I just watched Titanic in 3D today🥹 such a masterpiece!
I went and saw it the first time they released it in 3D. Was definitely worth it
Every time I watch this wonderful movie I always chanted “see the iceberg “ again and again and then “don’t sink, don’t sink” again and again…silly huh? But how I felt…
Enjoyed this movie, the detailed woodwork is amazing, and the shiny brass handles are something you don't see anymore, but the two twenty clock was something really special, remembering the lost souls and cherishing their lives,
"The partly filled lifeboat standing by about 100 yards away never came back. Why on Earth they never came back is a mystery. How could any human being fail to heed those cries." - Jack B Thayer, Titanic Survivor
My great grandfather Albert Horswill was on that lifeboat, the Duff Gordons were on the lifeboat as well. There was only one lifeboat that picked up any swimmers, it was not Thayer’s, so that is why I find Thayer’s comment ridiculous.
None of us would come back, come on
@@donnix1192 Because if you do, the boat gets swarmed and everyone drowns.
@@donnix1192 to be accurate Jack Thayer was one of the few pulled from the water who survived. He ended up in the water just as the ship sank. He made it to the over turned collapsible B and stood on top of that, along with 2nd officer Lightoller, Jr. wireless office Bride, and Chief Baker Joughin and several others until they were taken on by life boat 12.
I always thought it was a mixture of classism, legitimate fear, and the sheer confusion and lack of policy. Many of those who died were 3rd class men, after all. And according to reports, when a boat did go to save some survivors, the crewman in charge had to be forced to save the one Chinese man who survived. And there was a legitimate fear that some of the survivors would swarm the boats.
More than that, what really damned the Titanic overall was a severe lack of policy. The remaining crewmen simply had no idea exactly what they should do or prioritize.
I don't think the final scene was a dream. It was basically heaven that Rose went to, and that's why we see all the good characters in this scene who passed away during the sinking.
That’s probably why Cal, Ruth and Lovejoy aren’t there.
@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker Exactly

I don't recall, but I think she may have wanted sympathy because she never got her tea.
FUN FACT: Bernard Fox (Dr. Bombay on Bewitched) appeared in both "A Night To Remember" (1958) as a lookout who spots the iceberg, and also 39 years later in "Titanic" (1997) as Archibald Gracie IV.
David Warner also starred in S.O.S. Titanic (1979).
Wow--Well spotted!
And as Theoden in the Lord of the Rings movies.
I just listened to a radio program from 1936 written and narrated by Mr. Lightoller and he uttered the phrase, in regards to the ocean, "it was like a mill pond. Not a breath of wind.". This is exactly what Capt. Smith says just before he goes to bed on the final night! That's certainly got to be an homage!
Im sure it is. James Cameron took alot of the dialogue from historic sources. When Jack is telling Rose about ice fishing he describes falling through the ice as feeling like "a thousand knives stabbing you all at once". That is a direct quote from a Titanic survivor testifying at the White Star Line Senate hearings.
A lot of lines were borrowed from real people. Like "the water is cold like hundred knives at once" as Jack Thayer described it
@@PlumbPitiful even though the man-made lake Jack referred to wasn't yet made in 1912
@@christopherchase4960 ... James Cameron has confessed to that error many times. When writing the script he said he just looked at a Wisconsin map and randomly picked a lake without looking into its history.
It’s crazy how much this movie still holds up today. I wonder though if James Cameron had the chance would he go back and change anything?
What I like about the end scene when she is finally reunited with Jack is that Titanic herself is there with all of the others that passed that night, perhaps suggesting that Titanic herself had some sort of soul.
I also loved the scene where Jack thought he had lost Rose. and the she came up behind him at the head of the ship. and she said I changed my mind. and one of the best scenes was when Jack first saw Rose. after she had just left the dinning room and she appeared out of focus slightly like an apperitione. and he could not take his eyes off her. only to meet up with her later. and the scene with the mother saying it will all be over soon along with an Irish prayer. and the children smiling back because they knew she lioved them. but because they are steerage passengers the mother knew there would be no hope of survival. and of course the scene where Rose says I'd rather be who're than you wife truly AWESOME!!!!
Loved Jenette Goldstein so much in both Aliens and Terminator 2, there's no way I would ever miss her in anything else... which I did not. Recognized her immediately and was overjoyed.
She was also in Star Trek Generations.

@@CmdrTomalak Oh yeah he sure was! Then again he was in damn near everything LOL
The piano behind the drawing scene, Horner had labeled “Sketch,” meaning it was just a crude framework of a melody. But Cameron thought it was meant to go on this scene. And loved it. And refused to let Horner change it or “clean it up” at all.
Didn't Cameron do the close drawing too?
I definitely noticed the photo of young Rose riding a horse "like a cowboy". I thought that was a really nice touch. She lived her life with Jack in her heart her whole life. But why oh why didn't she keep the heart of the ocean?! Lol
It's called riding a stride. Side saddle was how ladies rode horseback. Ladies, as a rule, didn't ride like men rode horseback at that time.
As I saw her pictures, it made me happy to see that she kept her promise & did everything they talked about.
One thing that never seems to be mentioned is that when Jack sketches Rose's portrait, she paid him with a Roosevelt dime (rather than a Barber dime that actually was in circulation from 1892 to 1916). The Roosevelt dime wasn't even minted until 34 years after the Titanic sank, in 1946. 🤨🤔 Apparently Rose was a time traveler...😉😆😁
I think that's because most people aren't numismatists. Interesting fact nonetheless.
Time is money.
Or.. money travels time
Haha
I had noticed that too.
There's actually quite the debate on this one. Some swear it's a modern dime, some swear it just looks like it because we can't see all of it **shrug**
I actually noticed both the story the mom told the two children and the times. I am part Irish though and it was actually one of my favorite bedtime stories.
This movie was James Cameron's greatest work. I still love watching this movie and have some of the lines memorized. But every time I watch it, Jack dies and the boat sinks. But I never get tired of catching a few details I missed.
Just watched it a few hours ago I noticed a few details too mostly in the ending scene and the outfits more so than ever. My 14 year old son watched for the first time and told him trivia throughout.
Bruce Ismay who was the Whitestarline exec who survived the sinking, testified during a series of hearings in open court about the sinking of the TITANIC. One of the questions that he was asked was if he believed that the grand staircase was completely intact with no damage when that part of the ship sank. Ismay testified "yes". And, in 1986, an underwater explorer went down to the wreckage, found the area where the grand staircase was and proved Ismay wrong.
You missed the biggest thing of all. Rose was not dreaming at the end. Jack said that she was going to live on and die an old old lady warm in her bed. And she did. Rose went to heaven.
actually she died , if you see some deleted scenes from titanic , there is a scene where jack sees a shooting star and tells rose that it is a soul going to heaven , now in that last scene just before rose lying on that bed you can see a shooting star in the sky which connects that line from jack.
The details that James included made this film all that more special for me as a titanic fan. I was a fan long before they found the wreck, when my great grandma said it was a hoax. Sadly she died years before it was found.
Got to love those people that believe in conspiracy theories .. sorry Nana, you were wrong
@@PTRAINBOY in fairness she was 5 years old when it sank, and they did build 3 identical ships. It was easier then to discredit things, people still do it, and call in misinformation.
My grandma was 6 yrs old when it sank so she told me around the time the movie came out that she remembered everyone being really in shock and dismayed about the disaster. She said her parents were so 😢
She lived to be 96 my grandma
Interesting part of Titanic is this movie was released in 1997 but still we we talk about the movie while Director James Cameroon is busy with his another projects Avatar, this just tells one things Titanic is the most impactful movie in the world.
When I saw the titanic in the theater, I made a joke that the boat sinks. The lady in line in front of me turned around, livid yelling “why would you spoil it for me!”
So 85 YEARS was still too soon?!
@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria or she trolled him back
@Hans I know... I just replied to her "I'm sorry I thought it was well-known history." LOL
@Hans I didnt.
but i was 11, so...
It's a ship.
Jules, that sign off...you can't remind me of such an emotional ringer of a movie, end on its final scene, and then come out with something suddenly and unexpectedly sweet. You'll make people cry.
I knew about the car at the beginning, the drinking man, the time on the stairs which was significant to me because I was thinking that's probably the time she had gone to sleep as well and also the pics on her night stand which showed her doing the things she and Jack wanted to do together...bittersweet...but she seemed happy.
Excellent list! I appreciate the one where you explain them running down the hall. I always knew something looked weird about that shot but couldn't put my finger on it!
When Titanic first became available on VHS, my mom bought a copy (there are two VCR tapes in the box). I had to watch the movie three times over several days. Once to say I had watched it. Secondly to understand the little references & subtle details. Thirdly to watch & understand at the same time 😂. I was maybe 17 then.
I don't where my Lil whistle went but i even had the cassette soundtrack!
Every time I watch this movie it puts me through a roller coaster of emotions the power of there love for each other makes me cry so much
James Cameron is literally standing at the top of the stairs in the final scene.... Man with the beard when they're applauding.
The majority of underwater shots from TITANIC in the movie are real! James Cameron dived 12 times to the wreck to capture the ship authentically. In the Titanic Experience, guests can see unique footage of Titanic under the water and study artefacts left on the seabed.
Cameron pretty much uses his movies to fund his Titanic research
I really wanna visit Titanic one day but it’s too expensive… :((😢
recently I read that Cameron dived more than 30 times to the Titanic
@@Titanic-ui8zzand as of today's news pretty unsafe too
The time at the end is a great one. I’ve heard people actually say she dreamt meeting Jack, instead of her dying in her sleep (which I personally always thought was common knowledge). Great video.
No, she died in her sleep. It was her final dream that’s why she was reunited with everyone that died on the Titanic. It was like a glance into the afterlife and her ready to move on given the glimpses of the photographs showing how she lived a full life (that dream she had of the Titanic signified the end of her life)
@@blsgivemethefeels299 that is the general consensus, yes.
@@ElleJay1085 also I just noticed that Cal is there too. He survived the Titanic but committed suicide in 1929 during the fall of Wall Street so the fact that he’s there means that she’s in the afterlife. I think his presence confirms that she is truly among the dead not just the Titanic victims
@@blsgivemethefeels299 it still could be a dream.
@@loisen yes it could be but I like to believe that she passed away and that was her final dream as Jack said: “you’ll die an old lady, warm in your bed” fulfilling Jack’s final wish. It’s more meaningful to me
I remember how high tech this all was when it came out in 1997. I remember watching James Cameron talk about how effects were done. It was fascinating back then. It’s crazy how much technology has changed so rapidly
I noticed the part with Jack and Rose running, I thought it looked weird but just ignored it. That explains why it looked odd.
It only makes sense that they met on the grand staircase at the time the ship went down. It is a great movie but the real Tragedy can never be forgotten.
The grand staircase on set was 18 inches wider on each side than it was on the actual ship. 1:30 I thought they were just realllyyy stretching their eyebrow muscles at the pile of water behind them but I really wondered. Freeze frame whenever the strobe light comes on and it's very evident doesn't look like they used the CGI thing in the 2nd part.
I lived in Charles Joughin’s old house in the Isle Of Man for many years without knowing it. I’d tell you how we eventually discovered the house’s heritage but I doubt very much that you would believe me.. anyway, his family were bakers in the town of Peel, Isle Of Man.
I'd like to hear your story. Believable or not, I'm sure it would entertaining to read.
@@sundaymourning5329 Yes me too!
I’d love to here the story!! Whereabouts in peel is it, I would love to check it out!!
Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow wow invite me over sometime hehe
I’d love to read your story
Cameron had an on screen cameo. He was the man on the dock who was having his beard checked for lice before boarding.
I know this scene and I never spotted him.
Wasn’t Cameron also the guy holding the champagne bottle to celebrate the opening of the purser’s safe at the beginning of the film?
He has multiple on screen cameos in it, he’s a man with a dark beard. There are videos about it. He even appears in the final scene. Go to 14:36 of this video, of the group of people you can see behind Jack, James Cameron is on the far left.
I'm always hoping someone explains that random scene when Jack was invited to dinner and cal calls for rose "sweet pea? Sweet pea". But she doesn't answer.
Jenette Goldstein was also in the movie "Near Dark", where she played a very prominent role as Diamondback. The movie was directed and co written by Kathryn Bigelow, who later married James Cameron. The movie also stars Lance Henrikson and Bill Paxton in two of the greatest roles they have ever played.
Also, the name 'Caledon Hockley' comes from a community in Ontario northwest of Toronto called the Hockley Valley in the town of Caledon. I think James Cameron had relatives living there or something like that.
Thank you Jules and your team for an awesome video. The final scene when Rose is finally reunited with Jack always has me in tears. No different here... I would also like to thank you for the encouraging words you say at the end of each of your videos.
13:20 is from a deleted scene. Just in case you're confused about not remembering. The reason why you didn't necessarily make the connection between the picutre frames and what they spoke about, is also that half the pictures on the cupboard are also referenced by Rose and Jack in deleted scenes.
I was obsessed with this movie & Leo when it came out.
Love the video! I was hoping you would reference the Lake Wissota in Chippewa Falls statement from Jack.. of all the spot-on factual references in the movie, how did he get that one wrong? How did he pick that particular lake and city to mention? A nod to someone?
Fun fact, I didn't know there was a sex scene until my late teens, because my parents would conveniently "remember" that they forgot to tell me to take the trash out before it got dark and would pause the film so I could do that. Then they'd fast forward because I have ADHD and will forget would the screen looked like by the time I got back lol
LOL!
That’s funny!
smart parents.
Cameron has a third cameo, during one of the sweeping shots from the ship onto the dock, there is a man having his beard checked for lice, that is Cameron in full costume.
Really?
You forgot one, Jack was the last person to get onto the titanic. As well as the last one to get off!
The baker could be said to be the last one to get off. His watch was in his pocket and the hands froze at 2:20. He was said to have stepped off the stern as it sank and didn’t even get his head wet. Before the ‘Titanic’ sank he was loading tins of cookies into the lifeboats and then throwing deck chairs overboard for swimmers in the water. He was ordered to man one of the lifeboats but refused. A brave man!
David Warner who recently passed away actually went down twice on the titanic on film ,as well as Cameron's titanic he starred in a film called sos titanic in 1979🦉
He was also in A Night To Remember - he’s sailed on the Titanic three times in his acting career - you’d think he would have learned his lesson - the ship sank in all the films and TV shows that featured the Titanic in them!
Wow! The fact about the little boy surviving the Titanic sinking, but being hit by a car sometime later is definitely one for the movie franchise Final Destination!!!
There was a few stories like that. Some survivors died in freak accidents a while after titanic.
@@H81234 Did you ever see any of the Final Destination movies?
@@jewgirl952 yup
@@H81234 I love those movies! And these real life events really bring home the reality that we can't cheat death!

Jacks obvious 90s haircut. They didn't even try to make him look like he's from the early 1900s. I used to think he travelled through time. 🤣🤣
the spin top boy also had a childreen's book about him....kind of. It was called "Polar: The Titanic Bear" which tells the true story of the boy's.....teddy bear through its prosepective. being recovered after the sinking floating in the water to be reunited with the boy
just can't get enough of the masterpiece titanic is. can someone recommended a movie like this please 😭
Jules I appreciated all the point outs you provided,but really needed to hear the last part of what you said. Thank you!
I think that final scene was depicted that Rose went to heaven and reunited with Jack and all the people that perished.
And appeared in this "place" (located somewhere "up there") with the same physical bodies they had when they occupied the earth?
@@karenryder6317 Yep that’s what it says in the Bible.

Your words of encouragement at the end hit just the right way, thanks for that.
Me seeing Bill Paxton: 🥺😭
I’m surprised to say I knew about the makeup, the guy who survived was full of liquor, that it was the doorframe and not the actual door, and I vividly remember seeing that gorgeous car in that beginning shot being boarded on the ship.
You must be a car guy!!!
@@rebeccaleeper4570 actually I’m a diecast car collector gal 😬
Oopsl!!!! Car gal!!!! Know a few.
You'd have trouble to miss the car - it's literally front and centre in the foreground.
The car belonged to some fellow named Carter iirc.
Wow! I knew some of these but not all of them. Just don't test me tomorrow over what I learned about the Titanic today. I wouldn't pass. But thank you for these 20 things we may have overlooked. Great video!!👏👏👏👏 Such a great loss of life and that beautiful ship ...
The story of the cook is interesting. I remember from my days of nursing meeting a survivor of the Titanic in a nursing home in Sydney, Australia. He had photos of the ship and a story to tell and was very old at the time. He credited his survival to the brandy he was "given". Hmm I wonder. The story he told was coroberated by the staff of the nursing home and pieces of news print to boot.
wow.. interesting.
Another thing a lot of people seemed to miss is that Rose dies in her sleep. A lot of people seemed to think she's just dreaming (my sister thought that) but as you had mentioned, she's greeted by everyone else who passed away.
I must admit,I thought she was dreaming too.
I don't care, My daughter and I went to the theater twice to see it on the big screen, and I loved it as much when I watch it now on my small screen..... EPIC!!!!
I noticed the car that Jack and Rose made love in was the same car in the beginning being loaded on the ship. I think a lot of us did, lol 😝
Wow, your inspirational words at the end listened to twice… thank you for that!
I watch this movie 24/7 so I never forget anything in this movie, I even know every single word by memory
It's not a Watchmen shirt. It is the variation of the have a nice day smile that came about in the early 90's. As in.... F your have a nice day. That was the trend of it. It was a reactionary art piece that gained traction BEFORE the internet...if you can believe it.
Quite correct. I rocked that same shirt in high school!
My brother had a pin of that image, I remember barcode sticker on the back of it called the image 'bullethead.'
Mick Foley used his own version of the have a nice day smile during his wrestling career.
Great story and saw Titanic many times, and never get tired of watching this incredible movie! R.I.P Titanic
I just watched it last night. It was only the second time I’ve watched it since I saw it in theaters when it was released.
I don't like soppy romance movies but his film is a goddamn masterpiece, it takes something special for a movie to make men cry
Haha I like the way the narrator refers to the Baker Charles joughin by first name only in fear of either not being able to pronounce the surname or pronounce it incorrectly... Not that I could pronounce it either tho lol
Oddly noticed quite a few of these, not the chef, though his scene seemed so random that I figured there was something to it, but the little boy with the spinning top really popped out to me big time when I first saw it in the movie theatre. Lol, I even let out an arm tapping "hey, heyyy"...only to be brushed off by the person I went with because they didn't understand the reference.
That movie has the biggest impact on me and countless others, I will never forget it, oh and I picked Rose's double running down the corridor, faces are my thing, thanks, really enjoyed watching that.😊
14:35 - Notice the 2 carved figures on either side of the clock.
