I am sort of a Titanic history buff, too. I believe there are still three survivors living, one of whom was only a couple months old at the time of the Titanic.

I just bought the special edition DVD set that is about as big as a Dictionary, but I still love it. There are lots of great deleted scenes and I find the alternate ending very fasinating. my granny told me the story of the titanic back in the 70's long before the movie & i have been a nut for it all my life, watching any footage, reading more books than you can shake a stick at on the subject~ & if i had the 10,000.00 to spare, i would go down to see the wreckage, i have always wanted to do that~

SPOILERS (just in case no one has seen it)






I just figured out the ending when I put it in about a month ago. I never knew at the end that Rose died and was going to her "heaven". I always thought, that the end sequence was some sort of dream to the Old Rose. To Me that is one of the best endings of a movie ever...I just love it.

Kate Winslet is astounding in this and she is one of my favorite actresses. I love all her movies.

This may sound very very very strange but I think I may have died on the Titanic in a past life....I know it stounds soooooo strange.....but ok im done
i worship this movie, it is my all time favorite movie~ if you read actual history of the ship 1 of the 1st class passengers was emil brandeis~ he is from where i live, he owned huge department stores~ he didn't get on a life boat & his body was one that was recovered after the disaster, he had a bankroll of 16,000.00 on him when they found him~ i recently went & saw a titanic exhibit where they had a piece of ice that was as cold as the water that night, i could barely put my hand on it, it was so cold~ thay also had a piece of titanic there & seeing that was so surreal to me~ the hubby bought me 1 of the replica rings, one like what was found among the wreckage~ the whole thing fascinates me to this day~ there aren't many survivors left, maybe 1 or 2 i think~

I think now there is only 1 survivor left...
Here in Halifax many of the poor souls from the ship are buried here..It is quite something to walk among the headstones and see all the names..so sad..and yet to know it is part of a history that will never be forgotten.
May they all rest in peace..

Default A Night To Remember

I did like the movie, and just recently saw the alternative ending, very interesting, kind of exciting when Bill Paxton have finally the diamond in his hands, but the old lady threw it to the sea anyway...

I guess the movie oversaturated people and that's why some of them started to hating it. The same happened to Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, etc.

I remember reading some comments (in 1997 when the movie was released) about the truth verus the myth. They said that the fact of locking all the third class people downstairs, was a lie, an exaggeration. I don't think so. Statiscally, there have survivied more adult men from first class, than women and children from third class, so they sure blocked third class corridors.

Do you remember the film from the 50s "A night to remember" ? I found some similarities

1. A just married young couple find the architect in an empty dining room, looking toward the chimney, very similar to Jack and Rose finding gim fixing the clon over the chimney.

2. The upside down boat. There is a very similar scene, but the one in Titanic was deleted.

3. And of course the band playing til the end.. well this is a storic fact.

Still, I have a piece of it my HOUSE. Its in the next room as I type! I've had it for 10 months or so and I can't quite get over it. I have it sitting in the den next to a bunch of Titanic books. I feel like such a nerdlinger for divulging all of this.
How long do you think until it will disappear? Thats very sad!

Also..did they ever search the back part of the ship? The other half when it split?

Ok I have to eat my words now because they just got a little ruffled over the "Why I Left the Ledge" post. Oh well. I'm human.
