TITANIC (1997): (Re-upload) This REAL PHOTO of passengers boarding Titanic shows the hatch where Jack and Fabrizio board the ship in the film. They even replicated the gangplank for the movie! 🥰 (the little bridge like structure they're standing on).

The real photo was taken by Father Francis Browne as he was boarding Titanic in 1912.

Check out the scene from the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ8_cx6toPE&t=1s

THE TITANIC (1996) MINISERIES: The story I've always heard is that the miniseries was rushed into production because of the building anticipation around James Cameron's film, which was originally meant to be released roughly 8 months later. The miniseries isn't fun to watch when looking for historical details, but as a movie by itself, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I own a copy on DVD that I still watch from time to time (it's now available on YouTube for free if you're interested in watching).

Tim Curry was a wonderful actor who made any movie he was in more watchable simply because he was in it—especially if he was playing a villain! I'll never forget doing the Time Warp at a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a teenager back in the 2000's. As someone who can't dance and is embarrassed to be seen trying, the experience was pure hell in the moment but a wonderful memory when I look back.

RIP Tim Curry

TITANIC (1997) Post 1 of 2: The death of Officer William Murdoch is perhaps the most controversial scene in James Cameron's film, and it continues to provoke strong reactions among Titanic enthusiasts today. While reports existed of an officer committing this act, there is no conclusive evidence that the officer was Murdoch.

The film's portrayal also angered Murdoch's family and prompted an apology from James Cameron several years later. In the video below, Cameron does not apologize for including the moment, but he expresses regret for using Officer Murdoch rather than an unnamed or less identifiable character to portray the moment through.

It is also worth pointing out that Rose is not present when this occurs. Remember, the film is presented as the memory of Cameron's fictional survivor. If she was not there to witness it, the event must have been something she overheard or read about in newspapers.

Not having Rose present may have been Cameron's way of leaving space between what can be confirmed and what remains uncertain. If that was his intention, however, it ultimately failed because the detail often goes unnoticed.

TITANIC (1997): Notice how Officer Lightoller interprets Captain Smith's order of "Women and Children First" as Women and Children "ONLY" in the film. This interpretation, by some, had dire consequences during the actual sinking in 1912. Other officers in the film, such as Murdoch, are shown allowing men to board the lifeboats, but only after all the women and children in the area had boarded first.

Apparently, the Captain's orders in real life were even more vague than we see here, which led to the dual interpretations.

The scene is from the film, along with a clip from Officer Lightoller's 1936 BBC radio broadcast.

TITANIC (1997) & A Night to Remember (1958): I'm committing a faux pas in the Titanic community by uttering these words—a taboo... This may make me a heretic, but I have been asked my opinion on the film A Night to Remember many times, and here is my answer...

A Night to Remember is a fine film. In fact, Walter Lord, whose book the movie is based on, was James Cameron's guest of honor during the London premiere of his film back in 1997.

My opinion, however, is that its level of accuracy and the number of historical details it contains have been grossly overexaggerated. While the historical details of A Night to Remember are emphasized, its mistakes largely go unspoken.
The opposite seems to be true for James Cameron's film.

The reluctance of others to credit the universally accepted historical details in the 1997 film or to explain the origin of more controversial details (even if they disagree with them) was the purpose of starting this page. Individuals may debate or disagree with the inclusion of certain details in the film or dismiss certain eyewitness accounts that support them, but they remain historical details regardless.

With that being said, despite the fictional love story between Jack and Rose, I find far more historical details in James Cameron's film, many of which I have shared on this page.
I have been asked for my opinion on A Night to Remember many times, so I am sharing it. I mean no disrespect to the film or its fans, just as I am sure they mean no disrespect toward Titanic (1997) or its fans when they express their opinion.

NOW, THE 1996 TV MINISERIES IS A DIFFERENT STORY 😂
