Titanic
 

I haven`t watched this in years its soooooooooo good yet so sad.The captain is really pissing me off atm though.Anyone else seen it?

Yep saw it when I was at the Gaeltacht in first year and last yeaqr it history
I cried :sad:

Im going to cry,I do everytime,Rose is a selfish cow,they could have easily have taken turns floating on that bit of furniture!

Don't think Jack Dawson existed though, he was created just for the movie.

exactly! evil betch. haha
i love this film and i cry every time also. we're a bunch of big softies eh?

I saw it at Christmas, I love it.

I agree btw, talk about selfish.

My favourite person in the movie was jacks friend forgot his name now

he died because the pillar fall on him

think his name was frabrisio or something

I thought it was a true story Locke?
How could she let someone so gorgeous just die!and shes all I`ll never let go,I`ll never let go....and then she lets go:shocked:she could have just kept hold and then at least he could have had a proper burial etc.Also I was watching Romeo and Juliet today (I`ve been of college sick) and I was thinking at the end when there in the church and Romeo is saying bye to Juliet ,Juliet blatantly moves about a million times!what is he blind or something!And then when he drinks the poison and she nocks it out of his hand it looks as if he hasn`t even has chance to swallow it.Thats the problem with me and films I always think what if etc. lol

I love this film though I have never seen the start of it.

noooo I can`t watch =[ its gonna sink

The boat crashing was all real, but most of the characters were made up for the film.

Oh I thought Rose was actually a real person lol

LOL i've never seen Titanic...

Same, I thought the whole thing was real

aww I love it

im a massive fan of the film and Titanic.

all charachters are bassed on real life people on board the maiden voyage except

Jack Dawson - his 2 friends
Rose and her mum
Cal and his bodyguard.

All other charachters like
Molly Brown
Thomas Andrews
Bruce Ismay etc

are all bassed on real people.

o btw. just another useless fact but Wednesday (March 31st) saw the 100th anniversaray of the start of construction of the actual Titanic

so the exciting ones arent real then =P aww and I sooo wanted Jack and Rose to be based on real life.Ohh I see,diddn`t the Titanic sink on like the 15th of April or around that date or was that when it set off?

well years ago i did do some reasearch into the film. and there was a passenger called J Dawson. his first name is unknown and he is buried in the cemetary in Halifax, Cannada where most of the Titainc dead were buried.

Titanic set sail on April 10th 1912 at Mid day

She struck the iceburg at Approx 12.40 on the night of April 14th. It took 2 hours and 40 mins for her to sink. and she finally sunk on the morning of April 15th 1912 at 2.20am with the loss of over 1.500 people.

ahh I see,near enough:tongue:Oh so obviously thats where the character of Jack came from then.2 hours and 20mins,seems like so much longer in the film,well I guess it would have to but I just imagined it always being longer.

I love Titanic! I hardly ever watch it though because it's too depressing.

Just imagine being there.

it was the 9/11 of its day.

you like couples don`t you though Laura?Jack and Rose are the best ever,even better than Bracey:lovedup:

It actually scares me

Yeah i know.

Picture it.

Your on board a ship in the middle of the sea. a freezing cold night with nothing but the darkness in front of you.

You can feel the deck sloping under your feet and you know theres only two ways off the ship. But trying to get in a lifboat where there is only enough for less than half on board. or jumping into the freezing black sea where the longest you can survive is upto 20 minutes. what do you do?

you know when there filling the lifeboats and in one case they only put 12 or something into a boat that held 60?Do you know if this is actually true?
It would depend on my circumstances as to what I did tbh,If I was Rose I would have done what she and Jack did stayed on the ship until as late as possible.Must have been horrible for those families that had to get onto the lifeboats leaving husbands and fathers behind:sad:

Yep that is true. The lifeboat were built to accomodate upto 70 men. However one lifeboat, number 1. was filled with only 12. no one is quite sure on the circumstance surrouding the loading of the lifeboat and why so little were placed into that boat.

Although what is known that 2 of the people on board the lifeboat supposedly bribed the crewman not to return to the sinking ship when captain smith signalled them to return to laod more people on board.

These 2 people were Sir Cosmo and Lady Duff Gordon. That bribary sealed the fate of around 50 more passengers that night.

Poor Fabrizio could have been one of them :(

Don't forget the soundtrack 'My Heart Will Go Om' By Celine Dion.

She dedicated that to fabrizio

how selfish,whats the point in a bribe though surely they were going to die anyway,or more than likely and Andy hate to break it but he wasn`t real:bawling::bawling:
Im not keen on my heart will go on tbh

Well there ya go. The bribe was reported to be around £5 which was alot in them days. They gave them the £5 to keep rowing and not to return to the sinking ship despite the Captains calls from the Titanic to do so.

Lifeboat 1 waso one of many that were not filled to capacity that night. its estimated that there was enough room for a furthur 200 people in the lifeboats that night. 200 lives which could have been saved. Many of which were women and small children.

I forgot this was being re-released in 3D next year for the 100th anniversary

Yes! 6th April. I can't waaaaaaaait! :D

I really love the film. Cal's manservant makes me laugh for some reason.

I actually love this film :blush2:
