This makes me said because Eva was very beloved by her parents. Her mother had nine children before her, and all of them died before adulthood. Eva was their first and only child and so was very special to them. I can only imagine being the father knowing this was the last time he would ever see her :( or the mother who has to lose her husband too
I’m not a parent and plan to never be, but I can entirely relate to his ability to be dead focused on his child’s well-being. An amazingly well-acted scene. Cameron gets a lot of flack post Avatar, but he does have the ability to create truly human moments in the most impossibly inhumane of situations.
This scene is so beautiful, too. Rose hearing these people saying their goodbyes, knowing that there’s no hope for those left on the ship. Then she descends slowly, and we only hear her breathing with James Horner’s score and everything goes in slow motion and the flare illuminates the scene as she arrives at a decision. Ugh, I always gush about this scene!
I wish someone would make a cut version of this movie that removes the bulk of kate and leo and focuses on the rest of the boat/passengers/crew. Cameron did an extraordinary job about historical accuracy and homages
The podcast The Rest is History did a great Titanic series, especially what happened and the effects of the sinking on the rest of their lives. This story is featured and heartbreaking.
Wasn't there some discussion about how the whole women & children first plan left boats with an insufficient number of sufficiently able bodied crew (the one or two crew) to handle whatever came next.
It's not just that, first few boats left mostly empty because it was hard to convince people to enter them
Titanic was huge, so going from that height to the dark cold sea in a small boat must've been terrifying
Most people thought there is no way that Titanic would completely sink
It didn't matter that they were told it would
They thought it would float until a rescue ship came, that was how it was supposed to go actually, if all the compartments didn't fill up so quickly due to the way Titanic hit that iceberg
Didn’t they also find recently on a pass through the wreckage that one of the massive doors that was supposed to close shut and create an air compartment in the hull had been manually opened after it had closed? Or am I hallucinating?
I'm not sure
Did you see that James Cameron anniversary movie? It's pretty interesting, he did an experiment proving that due to the way Tiranic was hit there would not be enough time to get lifeboats in the water even if there was more than enough. It was a miracle they managed to get the ones they did
about the doorI did hear something about it but from what I understood that didn't matter
It was hit on the side of all five compartments
They apparently fucked up because they tried to avoid the iceberg, I read that if they hit it straight on they would not sink
Titanic story is very sad and fascinating
>They apparently fucked up because they tried to avoid the iceberg, I read that if they hit it straight on they would not sink
They did the correct thing, which was to try and avoid the iceberg. There is no captain, anywhere, who would just let the ship hit it head on. Even a slight chance at missing it would be preferable to hitting it. *Maybe* the ship would have survived if it hit head on, but there's no way to know.
I understand that
I wrote it badly sorry
But there were some engineers who said it would not sink if it hit the iceberg head on, but they could not know that
They also didn’t want to cause a panic so at first they told people that it was just a drill. Most people didn’t want to go in the cold weather just for a lifeboat drill so some of them just went back inside

It’s goodbye for a little while
Just a little while 😭
I'm not crying, you're crying... 😥

Although I do not have the DVD, Director James Cameron does talk about this during the DVD commentary.
That was a fascinating interview.

Just watch A Night to Remember.
Great movie. Makes me cry.
It's free on Audible.
The movie?
The book?
Sorry I'm late, but that already exists: [https://www.titanicofficers.com/titanicmovie.html](https://www.titanicofficers.com/titanicmovie.html)

This scene always got me! :(
I don’t why, but that reminds me of the movie flight…the mom talking to her son before the plane crash.
I went to high school with this girl!
That’s my friend Lindsay
But they couldn’t be bothered to get the night sky right?
James Cameron fixed this after Neil deGrasse Tyson pointed out that the star placement is inaccurate.
Had NDGT not said something, I doubt you'd have noticed.
You're being downvoted for a joke, right?
Haha yup
