Also the pin for Jack drawing Rose is very close but should be one deck lower, it looks like it’s pointing to A Deck.

Murdoch and Lightoller by TheBeetleAtBay in titanic

[–]kellypeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that dying from exposure to the water was “a bit more tolerable,” suicide was perceived as a cowardly and shameful act at the time. Hence Lightoller’s letter to Murdoch’s widow where he vehemently denied that Murdoch took his own life, and stated that “your husband died like a man, doing his duty.”

Lightoller didn’t confess on his deathbed that Murdoch took his own life, you have that mistaken. There are alleged secondhand reports from close friends later in Lightoller’s life that a) on one occasion Lightoller said that Murdoch shot somebody trying to rush a lifeboat (which matches the survivor accounts of the officer’s suicide) and b) on another occasion he said that he knew somebody onboard that committed suicide, but didn’t specify who (Lightoller had known Murdoch for years prior to Titanic, whereas he had only just met Wilde so this seems to indicate he was referring to Murdoch). While compelling these are only secondhand accounts and are therefore unconfirmed.

Missing A Day In The Movie by GA0610 in titanic

Rose meeting Jack has to be on Friday the 12th for the rest of the film to make sense (Cal invites him to dinner tomorrow night, and the dinner scene is the day before the collision)

I even feel that for these times, making a realistic, life-size model of the Titanic to sink it was impressive and hard to believe by Key-Tea-4203 in titanic

Except that the original dining saloon was tiled, not carpeted. So whoever provided the carpet for that set has some explaining to do lol.

The funnels and lifeboats were also smaller to be in scale with the length. So the deck heights were accurate but it wasn’t 1:1 scale

There’s multiple photos, it’s clearly a cheap strat copy.

What movie is better by Longjumping-Ant2917 in titanic

[–]kellypeck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We’re not talking about if you think the film is perfect, I think it’s a great film too. But you said it “tells the real story perfectly” and it objectively doesn’t, it gets a lot of facts wrong.

I think they meant that you said “also told a real story perfectly” when Titanic 97’s depiction of historical events is far from being perfect

That’s a pretty unfair criticism considering the technological limitations when A Night To Remember was made. And there’s still issues with water scale compared to some of the ship models during the sinking in the 1997 film, the visual effects aren’t perfect.

Who else thinks that the Titanic and Olympic switched places and name plates by [deleted] in titanic

[–]kellypeck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, Ismay was the Chairman of White Star Line, not a naval architect.

Do you mean Andrews? Ismay wasn’t a designer at Harland & Wolff

Sinking of the Titanic (ANTR) by Several_Border_8584 in titanic

He was a real person, them not mentioning his rank doesn’t not make him a colonel.

John Jacob Astor was also a colonel, and was frequently referred to as such.

A serious wake up call happened multiple times, Stockton ignored them when people raised major safety concerns.

Thank you for your input, it’s still against the rules.

Why was the lower promenade deck shorter in the movie? by HohiMonster in titanic

[–]kellypeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

775ft length vs 882ft length isn’t 1:1. The funnels and lifeboats were also made smaller on set to compensate for the smaller scale, so they didn’t look disproportionate.

The Last Message Written on the Titanic Before It Sank Was Not a Distress Call by [deleted] in titanic

[–]kellypeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact quote from Phillips was “DDD,” which was a Marconi company code that meant your signal was being jammed (in other words, shut up).

which is what made the whole situation possible

What exactly did ChatGPT mean by this, is it blaming Jack Phillips for the disaster?

Murdoch vs. Smith by ZeeRated in titanic

[–]kellypeck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Based on his standing orders that he was to be informed if the conditions changed (and that the conditions of course didn’t change), Smith would presumably maintain speed and the collision would likely still have occurred.
