What happened to the history?

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2000)

I will upset a lot of people with what I am about to say. I gave this film 3 out of 10 and I have to say that the computer effects were amazing it is just that it is a shame that the money was spent on that and the stars and they forgot to have any researchers or actually bother with the history books!! I am very interested in what happened that night and so imagine my surprise when I watched this film to see Rose spitting over the side of the ship and being very friendly with someone from Third Class when she was travelling First. What was going through peoples minds as they wrote this? This would never happen at that period!! For those of you who are interested in what happened and not just Leo these books have been bought for me and are a big must: Titanic by Leo Marriott, The Riddle of the Titanic by Robin Gardiner & Dan Van Der Vat & Titanic Survivor The memoirs of Violet Jessop Stewardess introduced, edited & annotated by John Maxtone-Graham. The first have the most amazing pictures, the second lists the survivors (and not just First Class as this film would suggest) and the third are the words of someone who was there that night. Unlike this film it tells you what happened and the courage and bravery of those people, not a person who is a hero in Scotland killing himself and definitely not locking the Third Class up until the last minute. There was also a fourth book that I cannot remember the details that was about people who foresaw the disaster. Titanic a film that had a basic story and ruined!!
