Finally Watched Titanic!!!!!!!

ECBG — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 01:37:40 GMT

I didn't watch Titanic in the beginning because disaster isn't entertainment to me. I see things for days and years.

On youtube I watched the out takes and had to see the movie!!! Loved Jack and Rose, and the costumes.

I ordered it from netflix, played the first disk through the glacier and stopped. I sent it back!!!!!

@ECBG Why did you send it back? The movie had great special effects. The movie certainly did not make me cry. I loved the way the rich ladies dressed with their pretty big hats.

I have never seen the movie Titanic and have no intention of doing so.

I did see & enjoyed the original w/Robert Wagner. I think he was about 19 or so at the time.

I have a hard time with "disaster" movies, too...especially something that really happened. I did watch Titanic....the effects were good, but I thought the ending was foolish. Never any interest in watching it again.

@Katcat1 I can't watch disaster or overt pain. I watch a movie for interest.

I watched Titanic for the beauty, when they hit that iceberg ( which was amazing) it could only go down hill. I also saw the water coming in. No up from there.

Years ago when I saw the movie where a volcano ravaged a town, I reached my limit.

Titanic is a James Cameron masterpiece. The attention to detail, the historical accuracies, and the commitment to produce his vision as he imagined has made this film one of the best of all time (as per all movie experts).

Yes, it is difficult to watch the disaster component, but as Cameron has stated, this film represents "human experience and emotion."

The movie truly deserved all of the many awards.

I have not seen it. I most likely will not see it. I can take fantsay disaster. like the Towering Inferno BUT Taking a REAL disaster and userping the Deaths and DIsruction of those Real people as trappings for ENTERTAINMENT is not my cup of tea.

count to 1.500 at the start of that film and if you are tired of counting before the end remember you have not counted yet someone who drowned or froze to death that night so you could enjoy Mr. Camerons special effects.

You want special efects go wathc Avatar.

Hi, everyone! I just wanted to share my unique experience seeing that tragic movie. This post brought back memories for me. I went to see this movie with my cousin the moment it came out in the movie theaters. The theater was sold out except for seats in the first row, so we sat in the front row-- a first for me (and a last, as well). When the Titanic started to sink and the ship filled up with water onscreen, I felt myself tilting my head back as far as I could, because I felt like I was trying to avoid that water in order not to drown, myself, as I was way too close to that movie screen. It was a terrible feeling. I can understand why many are choosing to avoid seeing this movie, especially right now.

You're not missing anything. I tried watching Titanic several times, thinking that maybe I wasn't in the mood for disaster movies, but it didn't matter. I never did finish the movie. Overrated and just couldn't get interested in it. The "King of the World" scene was a huge turnoff and had no relation to anything.

I've seen the 1997 Titantic and enjoyed it. Better is the 1958?? A Night to Remember. Whenever we're on a cruise and have our "muster", I say a prayer for those who died on that ship. They did not die in vain.

I normally don't care for disaster movies either...especially those based on true events. However, I did watch this one in the theater when it was first released. I haven't watched it since though.

I did enjoy it at the time and loved most everything about it including the costumes, special effects, etc. that other people have already mentioned. My dislikes regarding the movie include: 1) I never thought Leo and Kate had any on screen chemistry. 2) Even though I loved the special effects for the most part, I remember thinking some of them were kind of cheesy and weren't as well done as some of the others. I don't remember which ones as it has been a lot of years since I've seen it.

@ECBG I have seen three versions, one with Barbara Stanwyck, the current one that you partially watched, and another with David Jansen. It was a long time before I watched the current, as I liked the movie with Barbara, but liked the current very much. History fascinates me, and the majority of the movie wasn't about the sinking.

@mousiegirl With all they can do today, plus all the beauty, this isn't one to be missed!

We saw the movie at least 25 years ago. Walk to the theater and a cold and rainy day and as we sat there we felt like we were in the water. It was an excellent movie

For a movie that I never watched, I sure seem to know a lot about it! Lol

When the movie first came out there was so much hype, that I was certain

that it could not live up to it, so I avoided it. Then DD and her friends talked about it so much, that I decided that I knew too much to go see it.

To be honest, I never really had an interest in it.

The best movie about the Titanic disaster is the 1958 British film, "A Night to Remember". It is the most historically accurate and is absolutely heartbreaking to watch.

I saw the James Cameron movie only once and for the life of me I can't understand what all the hoopla was about. It was just okay.
