Right now this time 100 years ago Titanic had just left the docks...

 

Happy you-are-going-to-your-doom birthday!

Did not know that. So that's why they re-released the movie in 3D this year. Shows how much I pay attention to these things.

i didnt know it has been that long already

Haha, don't think this is actually something to celebrate, but, if this makes up for it, I can never step foot on a boat again.

Good Lord. Is it that long? It looks just like yesterday I've seen the movie (detail: I was, like, 6 years old when I saw it)

;_;

 

I keep thinking of the animals.

Funfact: The orchestra played the Benny Hill theme while the Titanic sank.

Trivia

 

1) The poop deck was built on a hinge which could rise from zero to ninety degrees in a few seconds as the ship's stern rose during the sinking. For the safety of the stuntmen, many props were made of foam rubber.

 

2) A full time etiquette coach was hired to instruct the cast on the manners of the upper class gentility in 1912.

 

3) The nude scene was DiCaprio and Winslet's first scene together. James Cameron said he and his crew "were just trying to find things to shoot" because the big set was not yet ready. "It wasn't ready for months, so we were scrambling around trying to fill in anything we could get to shoot."

 

4) The shoot was an arduous experience that "cemented Cameron’s formidable reputation as 'the scariest man in Hollywood'. He became known as an uncompromising, hard-charging perfectionist" and a "300-decibel screamer, a modern-day Captain Bligh with a megaphone and walkie-talkie, swooping down into people’s faces on a 162ft crane".

 

5) Kate Winslet chipped a bone in her elbow during filming, and had been worried that she would drown in the 17m-gallon water tank the ship was to be sunk in. "There were times when I was genuinely frightened of him. Jim has a temper like you wouldn’t believe," she said. "'God damn it!' he would yell at some poor crew member, 'that’s exactly what I didn’t want!'"

 

6) During shooting on the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, an angry crew member put the hallucinogen PCP into the soup that Cameron and various others ate one night, which sent more than 50 people to the hospital. The person behind the poisoning was never caught.

 

7) The filming schedule was intended to last 138 days but grew to 160. Many cast members came down with colds, flu, or kidney infections after spending hours in cold water, including Winslet. In the end, she decided she would not work with Cameron again unless she earned "a lot of money".

 

http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-cool.png The costs of filming Titanic eventually began to mount, and finally reached $200 million. Fox executives panicked, and suggested an hour of specific cuts from the three-hour film. Cameron refused, telling Fox, "You want to cut my movie? You're going to have to fire me! You want to fire me? You're going to have to kill me!" he said. The executives did not want to start over, because it would mean the loss of their entire investment.

 

9) An enclosed 5,000,000 US gallons (19,000,000 l) tank was used for sinking interiors, in which the entire set could be tilted into the water. In order to sink the Grand Staircase, 90,000 US gallons (340,000 l) of water were dumped into the set as it was lowered into the tank.

 

10) The climactic scene, which features the breakup of the ship directly before it sinks, as well as its final plunge to the bottom of the Atlantic, involved a tilting full-sized set, 150 extras and 100 stunt performers.

 

11) Before its release, various film critics predicted the film would be a significant disappointment at the box office, especially due to it being the most expensive film ever made at the time. When the film became a success, with an unprecedented box office performance, it was credited as "the love story that stole the world's hearts". "The first batch of people to see it were gob smacked by the sheer scale and intimacy of the production. They emerged from the cinema, tear stained and emotionally flabbergasted."

 

12) The film's impact on men has also been especially credited. Now considered one of the films that "make men cry"
