Very good special effects, but otherwise vastly and utterly overrated.

Didn´t deserve to win 11 Oscars.

No it didn´t. Only Oscar it deserved was for Special Effects.

It´s still more deserving than Chicago in 2003, which i think was pure garbage.

Great film....obviously the love story was fabricated but it engulfed us with the harsh reality of what happened. Imagine the fear, the cold and imagine leaving your loved ones because there were not enough lifeboats...heart wrenching.

I personally agree with this, it's just a Romance Film that's living off a newsworthy story still to this day.

I know that not everything that I watch will appeal to everyone tbf, but Films with actual plot and action get snubbed at the Oscars for Films like this and I don't get it?

Couldn't care less about the Jack and Rose love story but there were so many other powerful scenes. The mother and baby, the woman tucking her kids into bed, the Strauses laying in bed as the water floods in, the musicians etc always leave an effect on me. Probably because they all better represent the reality of the tragedy. A fictional Hollywood romance as the centrepiece wasn't really needed tbh.

It's a shame they cut a scene with Ida Straus refusing to board a lifeboat without her husband since that's one of the most enduring accounts from the tragedy and would have added even more to the scene of them lying in bed together.

All of this. And the old couple laying on the bed holding each other as the water starts to fill the room... I pretty much lose it at that point

Don't forget her hogging all the space on the door... talk about selfish!

I'm sure someone actually mythbusted it too, and discovered conclusively that the door could easily have supported both of them if they jumped on at the same time from opposite sides . She flat out murdered him .

And even if you ignore that - the character of Jack is basically written as resourceful / a survivor... and he does find the door that saves her... SO if she had just stayed on the lifeboat, Jack would PROBABLY HAVE SURVIVED if he wasn't looking out for her, too, and they would have met up at the New York docks and lived happily ever after. "You're so stoopid Rose!"

Titanic: The Alternate Ending.

They did lmao I watched that too



I think they had to strap a lifejacket underneath the door though so I'm not sure about easy, but if they'd have just spent a few minutes brainstorming ideas it could have ended so differently!

This....Jack and Rose were both annoying. The but that got me was the lady tucking her kids in as the boat sunk and telling the a story.

Dreadful film in general though, too long and focused on fictitious characters when there were so many interesting true stories from the Titanic

Obviously the Rose & Jack love story "I'll never let go" thing is very sad. Like I cried when she let go, and it ties together so beautifully, even if cheesy at times. But what really set me off was all the screaming and panic? Musta been truly terrifying, and such an awful tragedy.

What gets me the most everytime is that final scene. (from her throwing the Heart of the Ocean into the sea to the credits). Christ, I was wailing.
OH GET A LYFE!

I was also reading that it's massively dramatised and the ship went down quite quietly in the end. It did crack in half but not at a huge angle up in the air, and there was a witness who said it was slowly going down as he was swimming away, and then when he looked back a few seconds later it had gone (no big suction pulling everyone down). Plus, he simply SWAM to the lifeboats after jumping from the ship and apparently several other people did too
