thanks, i'll keep a look out for it. after spending a long time doing research into the lives of the officers i personally dont think any of them shot themselves, maybe a crew member who was mistaken for a officer but not one of the actual officers. but if you think will murdoch did shot him self then that is your opinion and thats fine :D[/quote:590d8fd2dc] I am very familair with that book as I used to own a first edition of it (yellow cover with an oval photgraph of a sinking ship glued on it). Sadly I was offered a price I couldn't refuse and sold it a year or so ago...... Anyway, it was a pretty good book considering it was one of those 'reaction' things put out in the wake of a disaster. I do seem to recall an eyewitness account of Officer Murdock shooting himself. And interestingly there was a couple of eyewitness accounts--and a pretty good eyewitness drawing of Titanic breaking in half before she went down--a theory that was also doubted for many years. Actually, I do believe book has been reprinted in paperback in recent years minus the other great sea disasters--now only containing the Titanic parts. And getting back to this thread.... The movie should have been named "Heart of the Ocean" as it was just a good love story [i:590d8fd2dc]set[/i:590d8fd2dc] on Titanic. That title would have been very appropriate, but I can see why it was named 'Titanic'...to make sure all us nuts were sure to see it. The title 'Titanic' would make you think it would be a more general film though. |

Well, IMO, the way movies are today, to get the audiences attention they have to put in: some gorey stuff, a little historical stuff, maybe some questionable things and of course a love interest? If it was just about Titanic, it would not have grossed as much money as it did. Sadly that is the way the movie industry is today.
I like the old version with Barbara Stanwyck but do you think it would have gone over as big as Cameron's today? |
