Oddest and silliest scene in a Titanic movie

>>Try the part on Titanic 1953 when the ship is shown tearing a hole in her port side when she struck the iceberg. Even in a flick that was notably indifferent to anything which might be taken for historical accuracy, this was just plain dumb.<<

Especially dumb when you stop and think that they showed (above the surface) the ship hitting the iceberg on the correct side.
 
>>I'm guess the Tim Curry rapefest from the CBS mini-series will rear its ugly head on more than one occasion, LOL. ;-)<<

Well, you have to admit that that scene is one of the most misplaced, inappropriate and all-out crappy scenes ever put into a Titanic flick. Him prowling after her and making the remarks about her that he did was more than enough to get the point across without having to go into that now infamous shower scene.

Maybe the Titanic showed the other cheek after the first impact?
 
>>Lowe calling for survivors and getting an echo was a hoot.<<

Not to start any violent arguments on the subject, but just wondering if...with all those reported icebergs in the vicinity...if echoes might be a possibility ?



>>Has anybody checked to see if the infamous fall onto the propeller was physically possible? A model and a piece of string would soon test it.<<

That is, would the stern have ever been at such an angle for this possibility ?
 
How about Jack and Rose making love in the back seat of the car in Titanic's cargo hold? How very 1950s of them to do this in a movie that takes place aboard a passenger ship in 1912. Regards,Jerry
 
Another little thing from Titanic (1996) that I always found a bit goofy (though dramatic, I suppose) was during the final montage of the ship sinking it has panning shot of the people stuck at the aft railing reaching out beyond the railing with their hands open, as if there was somebody on the other side with their hand outstretched to grab on to.

I suppose this could have happened in reality, but tend to think I would have been holding on to the railing for dear life with BOTH hands.
 
I see your reasoning, Matt. I certainly would have been holding on too!

However, my Mom would probably see it as symbolic, like they're reaching out to angels or someone waiting to carry them to the next life... but I agree with you.
 
Weren't the Strauss' Jewish? I's surprised they didn't completely scrap them in the 1943 version, or made it look like they deserved to die or something, knowing the anti-Semitic propaganda...
