    Just finished watching Titanic [the movie]

    Have always had a fascination with the ship and the stories around it, and the whole film makes me cry from the moment the band start playing 'Nearer my God to thee' the tissues have to come out! :o

    I've really messed up this time! Absolutely ruined a good thing I had going! All because of my stupid insecurities! I just don't know what to do! Crying for the last two hours on end haven't helped! It's not even Monday and I just know this is going to be the worst week of my life! Ever! I'm such a jack ass! I think I actually have a self destruct button and like to hit it when things begin to go right for me just so I have something to mope about! I cannot thing of any other explanation for my actions today! I'm a pr*ck! End of!

    And that's what made me sad today!

    I love the film, but only because of the love it gave me for the ship itself! I can still remember being 6/7 and being so fascinated by the film! But, as I have said before, why make up stupid unrealistic love stories when the real stories are so much better?! I just don't get it. And it's why I've been searching fro ages to get a copy of A Night to Remember because I know that that really is the proper true story!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    I wouldnt mind seeing Titanic in the cinema again but not in 3D, its a gimmick, the movie is flawed, Billy Zane is one of the worst villains ever, he just needs a moustache to twiddle with all his evilness, and the Oirish dancing is cringeworthy but its still a spectacle.

    That makes me sad!

    +1 on the real story! I want the real horrific story to come out, one of the survivors wrote a book about their experience.. can you believe that the lower classes got locked in below while the ship was sinking so the rich people 1st class people were saved first.

    Women and children first...pfffft! :rolleyes: More like rich people first and then whoever escapes the prisons below :mad:

    I seen that too today, on BBC2. Thought it was really good. Fair play to them for the special effects, considering it was 1958.


    Hope you're okay LostGirly. xxxxx

    More men from 3rd class were saved as from 2nd iirc. I posted the other day in a thread with the survivor stats broken down, cant link from this thing but its interesting to see

    OMG! Titanic is like, sumthing wat actually happened? Is it not just a movie?! :eek:
    :rolleyes:

    I still find it unreal that they were so convinced the ship was 'unsinkable' that there weren't enough lifeboats left for around 1,000 people. Baffling!

    I only just learned about the SS Californian today. Could they seriously have saved the passengers?! That is unreal. They must have felt pretty bad afterwards if that is the case. :mad:

    Titanic was never called unsinkable by it's owners/builders/etc. That was a name given to it after the sinking.

    The reason they didn't have more lifeboats was because basically they didn't legally need anymore (people still do similar today remember!) and didn't expect the ship to sink so soon and for it to happen so quickly.

    Yeah it really makes you think! A few extra life boats could have done wonders. There's more to it than what has been told. I don't think it's a conspiracy or anything but somethings just don't add up especially with the SS Californian.

    I remember talking to a Titanic researcher/expert who came and spoke briefly at an event we went to on a school tour. I could listen to him all day, the things he spoke about were mind blowing.

    I know- it's easy to have 20/20 hindsight, it just baffles me that 'only enough lifeboats for around half the passengers' was legally acceptable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,605 ✭✭✭OakeyDokey


    The reason they didn't have more lifeboats was because basically they didn't legally need anymore (people still do similar today remember!) and didn't expect the ship to sink so soon and for it to happen so quickly.

    The Titanic could hold 64 lifeboats and they ended up with only 20. They originally planned to have 48 lifeboats but the chief designer Alexander Carlisle thought it made the decks looked cluttered so they dropped 28 lifeboats! Totally understandable that they thought it wasn't going to sink/sink as fast as it did but to take off 28 lifeboats to make it look pretty is sad in a way but it's in the past and can't do anything about in now! It's frustrating that the design was put before safety though!

    Time for tea
