8/10
Typical British Upper Lip Balderdash
21 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
As a Titanic fan I found d this movie on My Family Cinema and wanted to watch it.

Without a doubt it is a good movie high lighting the drama and tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic Along with the story is a romantic story.akin to De Caprio Titanic Movie - close but less drama A over bearing husband.drahing his family.all over the world.

A wife who is tired of been directed where to go and what to do A daughter in love A doting son who turns out not to be his His rejection of his son and finally accepting that even though his son is not his he accepts him The tragic sinking of the Titanic is well portrayed BUT......... The stiff British upper lip is very present all the way through the movie However the final scene of the movie when the Titanic sinks - Sinks the movie The British are portrayed at the end as Stand and deliver people expecting to go down with their heads held up high and accepting thowr fate of drowning Now maybe that's the way it happened bit there are certain elements that were not shown The panic at the end The officer shooting in the air to try stop the people panicking And last of all as the ship goes down everyone just stands like statues waiting to die No panic no mayhem no life It is the final scene of the sinking that sinks the movie and makes a mockery of the Titanic tragedy Maybe we have seen too many Hollywood movies with skop skirt and Donner so we are cynical But that last scene really takes the cake of absurdity Have only seen the same scene re enacted in another movie with Tea Marie and Maximeilliann Schnel In if I recall recall Deep Impact where Tea foes down to be with her father as the massive tsunami is about to hit and obliterate them Even there there was more emotion than the final scenes of the sinking The fact that no violence and panic in the last moments sinks the movie for me As said it.is a very good portrayal.of.the story of the sinking.of the Titanic but that part is.totally ludicrous.
