I took my children to see this film. Two people sat in front of us talking said I wonder how it will end. My son leans in and said its the titanic, it sinks.
I had something similar when I saw Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio. The people behind me were loud throughout the whole movie as they seemed to be confused by the Shakespearean language which they didn't expect. They eventually got more interested in the story, but toward the end I heard one of them say, "Oh my god! I hope they don't kill themselves!"
It's a universal story. About class, about society, about hubris, about people. Even without Jack and Rose, the real story is both thematically strong and factually true. There have been other violent, terrible shipwrecks, millions of other equally horrible disasters, but the Titanic is such a farce, such a catastrophe, a fiasco, a horror, it encapsulates so much about being human, about the fear that everything- your life and the very fabric of society itself- is held together by a thread that could tear at any moment. Some people saw it as the wrath of God, some saw it as the wrath of Mother Nature, some saw it sardonically as the most perfect cosmic joke of the modern age. People latched onto the story immediately, from preachers to reformers to the sharpest literary wits of the time. There's a reason the story of the Titanic captures people around the globe. It has a tendency to feel like a microcosm of well, just about everything.
The film Titanic was not factually true. Google it if you like but the lower class was not locked below deck. This film did nothing to help people understand that this not true.
@@NailHeavenAshford Fair point, but that the third class passengers were essentially ignored and pretty much left to fend for themselves IS factually true. Cameron dramatized it but the point is fundamentally the same. I take bigger offense to them having Officer Murdoch shoot an innocent man and then kill himself, THAT is unfounded and unfair
Them poking fun at Babu during the nude scene is so funny. "Don't keep it in your heart, openly say you are enjoying!" haha 😂 This movie is a masterpiece Im glad they got the chance to watch it and that I got to come along for the ride with them.
Please tell them, yes Jack drew her because he was interested 🤭 But the naked drawing is ancient in many cultures. Humans are conditioned to recognize humans (even from infancy), so being able to draw the human form convincingly has been viewed as the height of artistic ability for millennia
@@BambinaSaldana They wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't deeply impactful to them, in fact they were expressing terror for possible accidents in the sea all over the reaction
I remember there being a"big flap" over some religious groups ( LDS, in particular) editing out that scene on the videos of it that they were renting/selling. I think they were sued over tampering w/ copyrighted material. I think they lost.
For 25 years, this has been my favourite film. But I grew up in the 80s knowing all sorts of things about Titanic. To see three men from such a different culture to my own watch this film with such little foreknowledge, yet immediately understand every single element to the story as complete strangers is just amazing. Today I've sat through a dozen reaction videos to this film, but this is my favourite. By a LONG WAY. The reactions here are just so honest, faithful and without prejudice. I look forward to seeing the villagers react to ALL my favourite movies.
Babu: "Whatever you say, but today there will be a great feast of fish" and ""Yes, we will get the diamond" did it for me😂 I think Ruby would do an interesting reaction on this one.
LOVE all of Babu's comments about saving the kissing for when they escape! This was a fantastic reaction to a classic movie. Lovely to see it for the first time from the eyes of these great guys.
The water temperature was -2 degrees Celsius most of the people died within 5 / 10 minutes some died almost instantly due to the shock of how cold the water was which for some led to having a cardiac arrest. When officer lowe goes back with his lifeboat for survivors when he said we waited too long you can hear the pain in his voice that part tears me up😢
I can't even imagine water that cold. I bought a wetsuit thinking I'd swim in my pool throughout the entire year. I jumped in when the water was 55° F (13 C) and it took my breath away. I had to get out immediately. Being immersed in something 15° colder in heavy clothing would be just unfathomable.
@@rosiesimons9723no but I believe boxhall's lifeboat was the first lifeboat picked up by the Carpathia and was the one that told Carpathia's captain that the titanic had sunk. When the captain asked him if anyone was left onboard the Titanic boxhall's response was apparently very emotional and he apparently cried out hundreds of them perhaps a thousand perhaps even more my god sir they've gone down with her

I had so much fun watching them be exposed to such a powerful movie. And I loved hearing their interpretation of the story. I love seeing cultures react to eachother.
Her disaster was actually preventable even by 1912 standards. Andrews opposed the idea of fewer lifeboats and wanted to add certain design on the ship that would have added more protection against ice bergs which could have possibly given the passengers more time. He was ignored. As sad as it is, her disaster led to dramatic changes in ship safety. Radio communications are now 24 hours, there's more life boats in all luxury cruise liners, of course binoculars and all warnings are to be taken seriously at ALL times.
They only managed to launch 19 out of 20 boats.( i might have gotten the total boat numbers wrong but thats not the point) I fail to see how having more boats would have axctually helped considering they werent able to launch all of them anyways, seeing as none of them has been trained for that scenario.
@@n0namesowhatblerp362 That's also considering that the Titanic sank in a rather unusual way. Very slowly, and without much of a list to either side, which maximized the amount of time they had to launch the boats. The biggest mistake they made after the collision was not filling every boat to its maximum capacity, but other than that, it took a miraculous effort from the crew to get as many boats launched as they did. And yet they still didn't even have time to get the collapsibles away. But to the OP's point, the sinking did have a major impact on safety procedures afterward. Especially in regards to dealing with ice and having ship operators reevaluate the "get there at all costs" mentality that was prevalent in the industry. Titanic was a big wake up call that no ship was invincible, and getting people to their destination late was better than not getting them there at all.
It's Thomas Andrews. And no, Titanic's (or rather the Olympic class') original designer Alexander Carlisle exited the Olympic class project in the argument of lifeboats. Then Thomas Andrews took on. As per board of Trade regulations, ships above 10000 gross tonnage required 16 lifeboats. Titanic had 4 additional. They thought as long as they have legal requirement, that's enough. The laws were outdated. You should also know that the purpose of lifeboats at that time were different. It was not for carrying each and every passengers. They were used to ferry passengers from sinking ship to the rescue ship. It's bcz as the transatlantic route was so busy, they believed atleast one ship would be close in case of emergency. In fact, with enough number of lifeboats for everyone, they didn't have enough time. Only 18 out of the 20 could be launched properly.
it was Thomas Andrews not jack and the Olympic class were designed to carry more life boats and actually carried more than what the law required at the time but it was seen that she her self would act as a life boat if anything happened and the lifeboats would be used to ferry passengers to rescue ships near by no one imagined a disaster like this, she also did not have time to launch all her life boats in the 2 and half hours it took for her to sink more life boats wouldn't have helped as many passengers were reluctant to leave a ship they believed to be unsinkable to go off into the dark unknown with out their husbands in small boats that's why many left less than half full until towards the end of the sinking
Titanic sank with enough time to only launch 18 of the 20 boats on board. If there'd been an extra 20 boats, it would have just sank with an extra 20 boats on board.
Babu's wisdom is profound!! " I think every time she sees the sea, she sees the same view. She must have remembered everything after seeing the sea." Thank you, Babu!
The old couple accepting their fate were based on Isador and Ida Straus, he was a co owner of Macy's here in NYC. She was to be put with the elite in a lifeboat, they were going to put him on as well, he refused, so she shanged her mind to stay with him. She gave her fur to her maid and told her to go... That's where the 'If you go, I go" line was probably pulled from. Her body was found, his wasn't, so the kids took water from the Titanic dig site and interred it. The mausoleum is here at Woodlawn and the sculpture in Straus Park on Broadway.
At 29:56 the young man says “catastrophic disaster.” This is exactly how the newspapers reported it the next day: “TITANIC SINKS: CATASTROPHIC DISASTER”.
To answer their question as to how they filmed it, James Cameron built an almost exact size replica of Titanic. if I remember right, Titanic was 880 feet long and the replica was 775 feet, so pretty close in size. He actually approached a shipyard in Poland and asked them to build a fully real exact replica to sink but decided against it as you'd only get one chance to film it.
The replica Titanic was a three-funnel ship, with one of them a ventilation uptake, with effects making it seem larger, and only had one side that faced the ocean, so much of the film was using a 'mirror' version of everyone's costumes and hairstyles.
Yup. Cameron saved money on that decision to build the hull of the ship on one side. Then, built sets like the 1st Class Diner inside a large hall/studio, including a bathtub that would allow for the sinking scenes later.@@stevetheduck1425
The first time I saw the movie, I felt that I had survived the sinking myself--- Almost like I had post tramatic stress syndrome. Can you imagine what those guys felt?
Really! He was almost crying, when they showed the freezed bodies... also, the guy in the middle, he couldn't watch, he covered his eyes with the hands. These are very sensitive and compassionate guys, I told you!
@@gabrielesolletico6542 It really refreshing to see their positivity to life. Many cultures like theirs don’t understand sarcasm. Theirs thoughts and feelings are always truly expressed.
I'm glad that you guys loved this movie! You are very sensible guys: Babu was crying, seeing the freezed bodies at the end, and the guy in the middle couldn't even watch... yes, you're good and sensible men! :)
Even Kate Winslet has to kinda laugh about it when she sees it. Sharing in some recent interview she had only seen the movie 3 times in its complete length. Also, when the scene of Rose exiting the car at the docks of Southampton was shown to her in a small clip, she tried to mimic that pose and was telling about how they did the whole scene in mirror. Due to the fact that Titanic left starboardside, but only the portside was built, because, of the prevailing winds at Baja California where the movie was filmed.
I finally watched this movie once. That’s enough. I watched the black and white movie in 1975 and cried buckets and never wanted to see anything about the titanic again. Too sad.
I love seeing people of a different culture reacting to American-made movies. Their take on it is just human, anyone from any culture can appreciate the amazing show of love and sacrifice that between Rose and Jack, and how this disaster affected everyone on the Titanic. This is a story, based on the real life events, that bring people together, no matter what their background.
@@Stardust_7273 The point is that we take Titanic (1997) with moderation and consideration as a consequence. That includes not just the supposed death of Jack, but also the apparent suicide of Officer Murdoch and the two passengers he apparently killed. Which Cameron had to end up apologizing for, as the screenwriter in him got the best of him.
@@victorsamsung2921 I know that Murdoch didn’t do that irl. Idk why he put that detail in the movie. But my point is about a general theme. The sinking did bring people of all backgrounds together into one shared tragedy they all had to face. It’s represented by Jack and Rose’s relationship
Sad fact: the lookout that saw the berg’s name was Frederick Fleet. After the accident he would suffer from bouts of severe depression and survivors guilt for the rest of his life, blaming himself for the accident. He killed himself in 1965 (for unrelated reasons).
My great grandmothers brother and his wife had tickets to go on this boat. They arrived at the loading dock about 10 minutes too late. I met them when I was a toddler visiting Sweden. I always imagine them fighting over who made who late the day of the trip. Then fighting over taking credit for it months later! 😂
That’s amazing! What other details do you know? Did they take another ship? Refund? What was the price of their tickets? Did they stay in Sweden and never go to the USA? My dad’s side of the family is in Sweden.
It was around 1974 when we visited them in Stockholm. They were still living there. They had the tickets for the Titanic framed on the wall, with something like "God blessed us," in Swedish. They probably took a later boat over at that time. They occasionally worked in America. Like my great grandparents, they were physical therapists.
This was one of only four movies my immediate family all saw together and is one of my all time favorites. Awesome to see you guys enjoy it for the first time to. 😊
I wish we could've seen their reaction to the lower class party that Jack and Rose attended after dinner! All the music and dancing! I feel like they must have really enjoyed seeing that part! Titanic is just a really good movie and a great choice for the guys!!
"Seeing all this boggles my mind. Love and everything was right in its place, but what I saw later was horrifying" If that was not the most concise, the most accurate review of this movie ever.
As the Grandfather explains to Babu at the end,you see all three of the villagers fighting back agaisnt their sadness from seeing Titanic.Godbless you guys,Godbless the Villagers.I wish I could take my library of films/tv shows and show ALL of them to the villagers.It’s mainly Horror,Sci/Fi,and Fantasy.I recommend you show them the classic golf comedy”Caddyshack” Love you Villagers!
It's important to understand that it really was not Captain Smith's fault. He took all the precautions and then some that was equired of him at that time. It was a horrible tragedy due to a series of unfortunate events.
I like watching the villager series , I get to see movies that I’ve seen before but now get to see through someone else’s eyes and hear things from them that I may have missed or misinterpreted. I’m fond of these 3 and hope they are getting well paid …. 👀 👍🏴
Sir does provide a payment to them. He also cares about them. A fan helped Sit to get Uncle get new glasses. Sir helped fundraise and organise in Patreon for other Uncle to get a wheelchair
I have to say that this was such a humble experience for me. I love every single second of it. I also teared up because of the old man, he reminds me so much of my maternal grandfather. So humble, so kind and so compassionate. Videos like this should be made more often.
I watched this when I was a kid and we jumped off the back of the sofas in reenactment, today, 26 years old I can’t watch this movie without gut wrenching heartbreak.
Now you should show them the making of the Titanic documentary, so they can see that the set was built using actual sea water and the actors were really experiencing a very realistic reconstruction of events.
Great choice in movies! The plots are easy to understand, and you make sure to have the translations. I'm sure they are loving the experiences with great movies as we all do.
No matter how many times i see the movie (which I've seen many times) i always cry at the end when it shows rose dead in her bed and all the pictures of her through the years.
Rose and Jack, and the side characters were fictional people created to amp up the drama. Some of the other people they run across on the ship are based on real historic individuals, such as Molly Brown.
You're right; but in a documentary about Titanic I discovered that the story of Rose and Jack is based on a real love story between two passengers of different social extraction that were on the ship, even if it was different: a 50-something rich man and a young, poor waiter...
Not just to amp up the drama. Rose and Jack's love story is constructed so that they have reasons to visit every part of the ship, so the audience can see what is happening in all those places and have a more complete understanding of the tragedy.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 Cameron claimed to have shot enough extra footage to recut "Titanic" into a docudrama if he wanted to without the fictional Jack and Rose characters. I'd like to see that version. As is, the movie felt a bit too much like a soap opera.
I recently rewatched it, first at the iceberg and I cried 5x like bawled my eyes out each time, than a few days later from the start and bawled a few times than too. Now I’ll be watching them react to it and we’ll see if I cry on certain scenes or not.
I watched the movie recently some months ago and I've seen it before of course. But the very end of the movie always makes me cry. If you've ever felt love then you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be affected.
This was so wonderful I loved this reaction such peaceful and harmonic human beings just made me smile for a hour ...god i feel great ty very much :=) !
I grew up on a coastal town, so it was common for me to swim in the sea all year around (except winter). Late in the autumn the waters were often chilly, but the secret was to start swimming vigorously for few minutes to warm up your body. One summer I visited some relatives who lived far north in the country, and we went to this beautiful alpine lake. It was fed directly by a glacier, its waters were crystal clear, but too icy to swim. I tried anyway, confident in my "swim vigorously and chase the cold away" technique. When in the film Jack says dipping in waters that cold is like being stabbed over and over, I can confirm he wasn't lying. I must have seen "Titanic" dozens of times, and every time Rose dunks down in the flooded corridor - axe in her hands - on her way to save Jack, I feel the punching cold right back in my bones like if I just plunged in that lake again. That's what amazing films can do, and I'm so glad our favourite villagers had the chance to experience it.
Enjoyed this. I love the guys comments, they seemed to enjoy this movie. Someone already commented on the behind the scenes video, please do show them this. x
I'm getting addicted to this channel. All these people are so wonderful and kind. Every time I'm amazed how similar their thought are to my own, even though I live half a world away. And I'm always looking forward to what song Baby will find appropriate to sing at the end. Thank you all. Now please show them "The Abyss" :) Same director, also about underwater adventure.
As I recall, the lookouts on Titanic were supposed to have binoculars to search for icebergs, but somebody forgot the keys to the binocular cupboard back in England.
He was dismissed from Titanic in Southampton and took the keys with him. But it's still up for debate if any binoculars would've helped or not. ... IDK :-)
Im always so fascinated to see people’s reactions to these movies. I love to see it. The one on the left reminds me of my Mexican aunt whenever I show her something she’s never seen. 😊
You should have explained to them that while the disaster itself is closely based on the actual events the love story around the main characters in the film is entirely fictional.
Except for the angle - she had reached her stress limit at much lower angle. (James Cameron still did an outstanding job considering what was known in the 90s.) This animation is more plausible: ruclips.net/video/zsdn7oZK6ao/видео.html

I'm glad that you guys loved this movie! You are very sensible guys: Babu was crying, seeing the freezed bodies at the end, and the guy in the middle couldn't even watch... yes, you're good and sensible men! :)
Babu, Sarru, Raju :-)
Sweet, tender-hearted Sarru - I want to hug him
@@adrianhempfing2042 Thanks.
I agree they are very good men !!!
It would be great to show them the behind-the-scenes video showing how this movie was made. The special effects processes are intriguing!
Absolutely! They were clearly wishing for this in the outro, and I would love to see them see this wish fulfilled.
I was thinking the same
I came here to say the same thing
@@liamloxley1222 Why is it boring?
@@rebeccahanson6941 And why do you think it is boring?
Wow this reaction gave me goosebumps, really well edited and you could feel the impact it was making on them
To me, the most haunting moment isn't hearing everyone in the water screaming. It's the dead silence that followed it.
The old man is sooooo adorable!!! He was more worried than the actors during the sinking of the ship 😂
Yep, he did *not* know the actors were standing in 4,5 ft of water at a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, or 28 degrees Celsius in short.
I love him. He has such a big heart
The reaction when Rose gets out the car is universal 😂🫶
Even Kate Winslet has to kinda laugh about it when she sees it. Sharing in some recent interview she had only seen the movie 3 times in its complete length. Also, when the scene of Rose exiting the car at the docks of Southampton was shown to her in a small clip, she tried to mimic that pose and was telling about how they did the whole scene in mirror. Due to the fact that Titanic left starboardside, but only the portside was built, because, of the prevailing winds at Baja California where the movie was filmed.
Titanic, Avatar, Terminator... you're creating James Cameron fans!
As they should be! Him and his wife Suzy Amis(now -Cameron, the granddaughter in the movie) are some of the best people! Look them up!(:
Now watch Aliens(special edition version), please watch Aliens.
And above James Cameron there stands Peter Jackson. Hats off for him!
I can’t even watch this without crying 😭😭 What a movie! 💔
I finally watched this movie once. That’s enough.
I watched the black and white movie in 1975 and cried buckets and never wanted to see anything about the titanic again. Too sad.
I love seeing people of a different culture reacting to American-made movies. Their take on it is just human, anyone from any culture can appreciate the amazing show of love and sacrifice that between Rose and Jack, and how this disaster affected everyone on the Titanic. This is a story, based on the real life events, that bring people together, no matter what their background.
But semi-fictional of course, as Jack, Rose, Fabrizio and Ruth etc. were never real on the ship.
@@victorsamsung2921 Well, yeah... what's your point?
@@Stardust_7273 The point is that we take Titanic (1997) with moderation and consideration as a consequence. That includes not just the supposed death of Jack, but also the apparent suicide of Officer Murdoch and the two passengers he apparently killed. Which Cameron had to end up apologizing for, as the screenwriter in him got the best of him.
@@victorsamsung2921 I know that Murdoch didn’t do that irl. Idk why he put that detail in the movie. But my point is about a general theme. The sinking did bring people of all backgrounds together into one shared tragedy they all had to face. It’s represented by Jack and Rose’s relationship
Sad fact: the lookout that saw the berg’s name was Frederick Fleet. After the accident he would suffer from bouts of severe depression and survivors guilt for the rest of his life, blaming himself for the accident. He killed himself in 1965 (for unrelated reasons).
My great grandmothers brother and his wife had tickets to go on this boat. They arrived at the loading dock about 10 minutes too late. I met them when I was a toddler visiting Sweden. I always imagine them fighting over who made who late the day of the trip. Then fighting over taking credit for it months later! 😂
That seems lucky
That’s amazing! What other details do you know? Did they take another ship? Refund? What was the price of their tickets? Did they stay in Sweden and never go to the USA? My dad’s side of the family is in Sweden.
It was around 1974 when we visited them in Stockholm. They were still living there. They had the tickets for the Titanic framed on the wall, with something like "God blessed us," in Swedish. They probably took a later boat over at that time. They occasionally worked in America. Like my great grandparents, they were physical therapists.
Every time I see this movie I always cry. Not because of Jack's death but because of how so many people died.
19 minutes in - I've gone from happy to sad and worried. Even though seen this movie many times before
In too many tears again . A good (but frustrating ) movie
"the rats are experts at saving lives" I enjoy this insight.
This was one of only four movies my immediate family all saw together and is one of my all time favorites. Awesome to see you guys enjoy it for the first time to. 😊
I wish we could've seen their reaction to the lower class party that Jack and Rose attended after dinner! All the music and dancing! I feel like they must have really enjoyed seeing that part! Titanic is just a really good movie and a great choice for the guys!!
Time for a part 2!
i love how there like just questining and obvserving the scenes bro the old man is my favotirte hes excited about it
"Seeing all this boggles my mind. Love and everything was right in its place, but what I saw later was horrifying"
If that was not the most concise, the most accurate review of this movie ever.
Sarru's eyes are always so expressive, I love when I can tell just from his eyes that he's being deeply affected by a scene.
Very beautiful edit titanic
I love this people
This was an outstanding choice for the guys to watch. Their reactions are so pure. This video has truly earned the like I gave it! 😊
As the Grandfather explains to Babu at the end,you see all three of the villagers fighting back agaisnt their sadness from seeing Titanic.Godbless you guys,Godbless the Villagers.I wish I could take my library of films/tv shows and show ALL of them to the villagers.It’s mainly Horror,Sci/Fi,and Fantasy.I recommend you show them the classic golf comedy”Caddyshack” Love you Villagers!
“Whatever you say, but today there will be a great feast of fish” 😂😂😂
Glad they enjoyed it
Very good reaction! Such a sad and powerful depiction of what titanics story was. Ty.
It's important to understand that it really was not Captain Smith's fault. He took all the precautions and then some that was equired of him at that time. It was a horrible tragedy due to a series of unfortunate events.
It tore a giant hole that never got repaired. Every man jack on board was a hero as Ballad of The Thresher went.
Titanic is my most favorite movie. I will watch it every years in April.
I like watching the villager series , I get to see movies that I’ve seen before but now get to see through someone else’s eyes and hear things from them that I may have missed or misinterpreted. I’m fond of these 3 and hope they are getting well paid …. 👀
👍🏴
Sir does provide a payment to them. He also cares about them. A fan helped Sit to get Uncle get new glasses. Sir helped fundraise and organise in Patreon for other Uncle to get a wheelchair
@@adrianhempfing2042 that’s fantastic to know , thank you 🙏
👍🏴
I have to say that this was such a humble experience for me. I love every single second of it. I also teared up because of the old man, he reminds me so much of my maternal grandfather. So humble, so kind and so compassionate. Videos like this should be made more often.
This story is so universal. No wonder it's one of the highest grossing films ever made worldwide.
I watched this when I was a kid and we jumped off the back of the sofas in reenactment, today, 26 years old I can’t watch this movie without gut wrenching heartbreak.
Don’t keep it in your heart, say openly that you are enjoying it!😅
Now you should show them the making of the Titanic documentary, so they can see that the set was built using actual sea water and the actors were really experiencing a very realistic reconstruction of events.
I never knew I needed to see the giys react to this movie! ❤
This is heartwarming watching men from another culture react to this movie. This is really, really good. 🙏
Babu nailed the entire story within the first 10 minutes of the film. Awesome video.
Great choice in movies! The plots are easy to understand, and you make sure to have the translations. I'm sure they are loving the experiences with great movies as we all do.
37:44 Damn, Babu with the beats and bars!
OMG I LOVE THEM ! I've seen this movie a dozen times but they made cry! Thank you !!
No matter how many times i see the movie (which I've seen many times) i always cry at the end when it shows rose dead in her bed and all the pictures of her through the years.
Whoever decided to have them watch a movie based on the most tragic loss of life on the seas deserves a cookie and two thumbs up
Rose and Jack, and the side characters were fictional people created to amp up the drama. Some of the other people they run across on the ship are based on real historic individuals, such as Molly Brown.
You're right; but in a documentary about Titanic I discovered that the story of Rose and Jack is based on a real love story between two passengers of different social extraction that were on the ship, even if it was different: a 50-something rich man and a young, poor waiter...
As they picked up , was good to add the love story or else it's basically a documentary of a sinking ship
Not just to amp up the drama. Rose and Jack's love story is constructed so that they have reasons to visit every part of the ship, so the audience can see what is happening in all those places and have a more complete understanding of the tragedy.
@@oliverbrownlow5615 Cameron claimed to have shot enough extra footage to recut "Titanic" into a docudrama if he wanted to without the fictional Jack and Rose characters. I'd like to see that version. As is, the movie felt a bit too much like a soap opera.
@@dan_hitchman007 Perhaps you'd enjoy watching *A Night to Remember* (1958), which sticks closer to the historical facts.
The cried out eyes of theirs in the end ❤
That old guy seems to always be pretty on point with how stories/films end up being told.
I like the old black and white version, too. Knowledgeable audience. This is like watching with my family😊 i watched this movie once, only😢
Do you mean *Titanic* (1953) or *A Night to Remember* (1958)?
This reaction was refreshing to watch ! Their comments makes me see this tragedy through their perspective.
Greetings to all from Mexico, especially from Rosarito Mexico, I live in this place where this movie was filmed
That was great to see their react to this and I know you have to edit, but I would have liked to see their reaction to the end of the movie.
@@ddeanw.3237 , I read the first 20 or so comments and then made my post. Yours was way down the list. But, good to see we has the same reaction.
yes - and the dancing and music at the 3rd class party scene
Why didn't we see reaction to the end? The best wrap of a movie ever!
I recently rewatched it, first at the iceberg and I cried 5x like bawled my eyes out each time, than a few days later from the start and bawled a few times than too. Now I’ll be watching them react to it and we’ll see if I cry on certain scenes or not.
It's on TV here tonight, my partner's never seen it so I'd like to show them, but I know I'll be a blubbering mess from the start! 😭😭😭😅
I love how all three waved
I watched the movie recently some months ago and I've seen it before of course. But the very end of the movie always makes me cry. If you've ever felt love then you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be affected.
Babu is such a treasure. Bless these men and their kinds hearts.
This was so wonderful I loved this reaction such peaceful and harmonic human beings just made me smile for a hour ...god i feel great ty very much :=) !
I grew up on a coastal town, so it was common for me to swim in the sea all year around (except winter). Late in the autumn the waters were often chilly, but the secret was to start swimming vigorously for few minutes to warm up your body. One summer I visited some relatives who lived far north in the country, and we went to this beautiful alpine lake. It was fed directly by a glacier, its waters were crystal clear, but too icy to swim. I tried anyway, confident in my "swim vigorously and chase the cold away" technique. When in the film Jack says dipping in waters that cold is like being stabbed over and over, I can confirm he wasn't lying. I must have seen "Titanic" dozens of times, and every time Rose dunks down in the flooded corridor - axe in her hands - on her way to save Jack, I feel the punching cold right back in my bones like if I just plunged in that lake again. That's what amazing films can do, and I'm so glad our favourite villagers had the chance to experience it.
The "it feels like a thousand knives stabbing you" is taken from one of the survivor's accounts that fell into the water.
@@hullie7529 Incredible, I didn't know that! The level of details in that film is out of scale.
"You may get your headlines Mr. Ismay"
Best line, delivered perfectly by Bernard Hill.
Enjoyed this. I love the guys comments, they seemed to enjoy this movie. Someone already commented on the behind the scenes video, please do show them this. x
"Are they both sitting somewhere kissing again, haven't been seen for a long time" 😂
THIS REACTION IS SO REAL, SO PURE 😢❤
Should show then the making of the movie so they can see the ship was actually built and sank for the movie
I'm getting addicted to this channel. All these people are so wonderful and kind. Every time I'm amazed how similar their thought are to my own, even though I live half a world away. And I'm always looking forward to what song Baby will find appropriate to sing at the end. Thank you all.
Now please show them "The Abyss" :) Same director, also about underwater adventure.
What sensitive and intelligent observations on this movie. These gentlemen are wonderful.
As I recall, the lookouts on Titanic were supposed to have binoculars to search for icebergs, but somebody forgot the keys to the binocular cupboard back in England.
He was dismissed from Titanic in Southampton and took the keys with him. But it's still up for debate if any binoculars would've helped or not. ... IDK :-)
Im always so fascinated to see people’s reactions to these movies. I love to see it. The one on the left reminds me of my Mexican aunt whenever I show her something she’s never seen. 😊
A joy to watch these responses. Just lovely.
You should have explained to them that while the disaster itself is closely based on the actual events the love story around the main characters in the film is entirely fictional.
Although I'm sure there must have been many love stories to be told if only they could be told and how more tragic than the story of Jack and Rose.
Wow. I loved watching their reactions. We all understand love. It is a universal human emotion. I also liked the song about the two swans.❤
That was a very nice song they sang at the end. They are so funny.
Anyone else have this pop up on their feed post-Titan disappearance?
Love it he has good luck, I don't think he thought so later on 😂😂😂
Haha true , started off lucky
Awesome! Great great film selection! Excellent!
You guys…are freaking awesome.
Idk about all of it but the depiction of how the ship sank is completely accurate. It split in 2 under its tremendous weight.
Except for the angle - she had reached her stress limit at much lower angle. (James Cameron still did an outstanding job considering what was known in the 90s.) This animation is more plausible: ruclips.net/video/zsdn7oZK6ao/видео.html
I gotta use the phrase “what you say is true” more often. Love the video!
Thankyou for watching one of my all time fave films. I have tons of books and things on the real titanic and the sinking of it in 1912. Take care 😘 Greetings from Scotland in the UK
This is one of my favourite movies. Watching it through their eyes made it feel new again. I loved to hear their thoughts about it, and they had many accurate observations about this. Especially Babu. I really love seeing so much similar thought even though they are different ages. And the swan song describes the theme of this movie perfectly.
The inhouse band played nearer my God to thee before destruction.
