James Cameron's Titanic
James Cameron's Titanic chronicles the cinematic re-creation of the most legendary ocean disaster of all time as seen through the eyes of a master storyteller. Set against the ship's fateful maiden voyage, Cameron's much anticipated motion picture epic weaves a rich human tapestry of romance, heroism, tragedy and greed. Within these pages is a detailed look at the monumental effort by thousands of artists and craftsmen to accurately re-create the "ship of dreams," including the full-size exterior replica of the ship and the 17-million-gallon tank facility designed to sink her; a wealth of detailed interior spaces; new discoveries from Cameron's 1995 dives to the wreck, some two-and-a-half miles below the ocean surface; studies of the ornate wardrobe, makeup and hairstyles that defined the look of the "Gilded Age"; an overview of the film's groundbreaking visual-effects work; and in-depth interviews with cast and crew, all referenced to the historic events of the Titanic's maiden, and final, voyage.

“I heard a graphic account of how the Titanic up-ended herself and remained poised like some colossal nightmare of a fish, her tail high in the air, her nose deep in the water, until she dived finally from human sight.”
-Arthur Rostron, Captain of the rescue ship Carpathia
Once upon a time, there were three sister ships: RMS Olympic, RMS Titanic, and HMHS Britannic. Popular culture remembers them as 'the cursed sisters.' The second oldest, RMS Titanic, was named after the mythological Titans. The 46,328-ton beauty was the most luxurious ship ever built. Greatness awaited Titanic. She would own the seas for decades to come. Or at least, that was the plan until fate intervened in the form of an iceberg. But who was really to blame, the iceberg or human hubris?
I'd forgotten how good this movie was. I recently rewatched it after a long time, and it still holds up. I didn't think it would. I thought I'd outgrown over-the-top epics, doomed romances, and Leonardo Dicaprio. James Cameron got me in my feelings again. Damn him.
I cried like an angry toddler over a fictional love story and a ship that sank over 110 years ago. Is this normal? I can no longer deny the epicness of Jack Dawson. He is quite simply the best fictional male character ever created. I'm sorry, but he might be better than Aragorn. He died for the woman he loved. He sacrificed everything for her. James Cameron, you can't write this ending and expect me to be ok.
I do have some criticisms, though. Some of Titanic's biggest heroes didn't get their proper due. The heroism of Titanic's engineers is often overlooked. These brave men refused to abandon their posts and sacrificed their lives by keeping the power and lights on as long as possible. Wireless operators Phillips and Bride worked until the last possible moment. Then there's First Officer William Murdoch. As much as I liked Ewan Stewart as Murdoch, his portrayal wasn't historically accurate. James Cameron later confessed that he regretted filming the scene where Murdoch shoots Tommy before turning the gun on himself. Murdoch was one of the most heroic figures of the Titanic. He saved many lives that night.
The scenes with the musicians were accurate. The band, led by the English violinist Wallace Hartley, played until the very end. Ida Straus's words to her husband inspired the famous 'if you jump, I jump' line. Isidor was offered a seat on a lifeboat but refused as there were still women and children onboard. Ida refused to leave Isidor, telling him, 'We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go.' They were last seen together on deck holding hands.
Over 1,500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic. 123 first-class passengers. 173 second-class passengers. 536 third-class passengers. 700 crew members. 53 children. Only 337 bodies were recovered.
There were thirteen newlyweds on the Titanic. Seven grooms and three brides perished on the ship. They served as inspiration for Jack and Rose's doomed love story. More than a century later, people still talk about the beautiful, 'unsinkable' Titan and its unlucky passengers. Twenty-six years later, we still watch the movie and applaud its enthralling cinematography and brilliant acting.
The ending of the movie has been the subject of discussion for decades. Was Rose dreaming, or did she die? I can't believe some people think Rose was only dreaming. My interpretation of the ending has always been that Rose died and was reunited with Jack in the afterlife. "You're gonna die an old lady," Jack tells her before he dies, "warm in her bed."
After the dinner scene in the first-class dining saloon, Jack hands Rose a note that says, 'Make it count. Meet me at the clock.'
Rose dies eighty-four years later, warm in her bed. She fulfilled her promise to Jack by living her life to the fullest. She made it 'count.' She meets him at the clock.
The clock on the staircase reads 2.20 am. The time the real-life Titanic sank.
The most prominent character is the Titanic herself. The Queen of the Ocean lies at the bottom of the Atlantic. There she rests, both awe-inspiring and terrifying. Her remains are shrouded in darkness; the eerie calm is interrupted only by the slow movements of passing deep-sea fish. She continues to fascinate scientists and the regular public alike.
The Titanic was a tragedy, but she was not a failure. She was as beautiful and as safe as her designers and builders could make her. No ship of her time could have survived the circumstances of April 14, 1912. Thanks to her many safety features and the heroic work of her crew, she actually stayed afloat longer than she was supposed to and saved many lives.

Amazing! This book answered so many unanswered questions from the movie. I was upset to see it only have 3 stars. I suggest you do your Titanic research before you take the movie too seriously. Read some good Titanic historical fiction books. A lot of characters in Cameron's movie were real...so please just because it has pictures and behind-the-scenes excerpts, doesn't mean it's going to be an exciting read. It's not the damn movie script! Take it seriously!
This is how much I enjoyed this book. I just wanted to spin, spin, and spin.

My father gave me this beautiful book for Christmas seeing I loved Titanic. Was it the movie I loved or Leonardo DiCaprio. Kind of sick of the movie to this day after seeing it a million times but something about this book is timeless. It has great background into the making of this movie. Great photos, articles, and behind the scenes footage. Glad I was given this book.

This is way better than the movie.

Yes, you do already have this book, if you're looking at your 1997 edition in confusion. The cover's all fancy and lenticular, but if you look deep beneath the cover, you will discover, not much has changed and it's a not-so-cheap cash in. You don't already have the 1997 book? Go ahead and buy this one, it is worth your money.
So why do I now have two editions of what is essentially the same book? Because I'm a sucker for anything Titanic and books, which some people say is boring. I walked into work one day to get shown this, but it was cheaper on Amazon. So I went home and accidentally clicked order, sucked in by the 30 extra pages that the website proudly displayed.
On comparison with the previous edition, the new cover is better. And it's lenticular! Once you discover lenticular doesn't mean it actually DOES anything, yes, the shine does come off it a little bit. On a quick flick through, the reader is visually assaulted by the sumptuous, gorgeous photos included within glossy pages, including a particularly stunning one of Kate Winslet - man is her skin FLAWLESS. Also note the frequency that James Cameron appears in the photos - master of all trades who not only wrote, directed and edited the film but wasn't afraid to get down and dirty (and wet) during filming, judging by the photos. The foreword that he wrote for the previous book is also here, updated so it reads like a brand new foreword.
Also included are brand new mini-chapters: Building the Ship, Bringing History to Life, Filming the Sinking, The Phenomenon, and Academy Awards. After you've read those, don't be fooled. Because after a side to side comparison with my Dad holding the old edition and me with the new one, we discovered there was nothing new about the following chapters. Same photos, same layout as the old edition. So really you're paying anything from £10-£20 ($15-$31) for an additional 28 pages to what you already have.
BUT here's the killer - is it 28 pages? Really? Throw in a couple of drinks on a Saturday night when I'm bored after watching a movie and I decide to delve a little deeper. The old edition has 178 pages NOT including the 13 pages of foreword. This makes 191 pages. With me so far? The new edition has 178 pages plus the 28 pages of foreword (including those additional mini-chapters mentioned previously.) Yet, various websites are listing the official page count as 208. So there are only 11 extra pages if you compare the two books. NOT the 30 pages that you are led to believe.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have this book. It's a welcome addition to the 50+ Titanic books I already have. But with the centenary year on us, you need to be wary if you're a lover of Titanic books like me. I've already been fooled once this year by a book that I bought, that I already had - all because it was given a new title and new cover. I don't regret buying this book, but in hindsight, I might not have been in such a mad rush to buy it, had I known the real difference in the page count. Because of that, what would have been a five star book, lost a star.
Did I mention there's a free foldout poster included too?

I am probably the biggest Titanic fan writing in about this one--it is my favorite movie (seen it 7 times), my biggest obsession and fascination, and I know so much about it. This book was a really interesting behind-the-scenes look at the brilliant film. James Cameron is really a God-send, and bless him because I certainly could never do anything the man has accomplished. It's amazing how he made this movie, and the book is chockfull of fun facts and beautiful color photos. A must-read for fans of the film!

This book is the most tragic thing I have ever read in my life. Jack Dawson is the guy every girl dreams about and Rose is the luckiest girl in the world. I think that this book touches the topic of the rich being rich and their benefits and the poor being poor. I also feel that this is a contemporary version of The Prince and The Pauper. Love isn’t how much money; love is the feelings you have for someone regardless of their background. That is the message this book sends. The love Jack and Rose have for one another survived multiple hurdles. That sacrifice of a life for love shows that love never dies but is truly felt. I recommend this book to anyone. This is a classic tragic love story that should be read and cherished.

If you've ever wanted the inside scoop on " how they did this or that on a blockbuster film" this is the big book for you. With text by Ed W. Marsh and photos by Douglas Kirkland the pages are absolutely full of incredible detail. From the impeccable reproduction of the interiors of the ship itself to the china and glassware that adorned the tables, to the embroidered caps of the ships employees, this shows what went into the making of this epic. Everything was lovingly done to recreate the original, to make this as real as possible that's why it worked so well. The book is a real treasure.
(I'm a stickler for detail and I loved the photos.)

As emotionally evocative as the film itself. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at the 1997 masterpiece that the world fell in love with 25 years ago. It was a spiritual journey from start to finish, and I feel more engulfed in the film and the "unsinkable" ship than before. There was so much insight from the cast and crew that only added to my admiration of Titanic and reminded me why this film is one of the greatest films of all time. The grandeur ship lives on in this wonderful book reminding us of the arrogance that sunk it but the faith that gave it life.

My friends will know that I'm a huge fan of the film - and so are many of them too! Strangely, I've managed to end up with 3 copies of this book...
I love it because it gives a real, in-depth insight into the making of the greatest movie of all time, along with little known facts and anecdotes from the cast and crew.
A must for any Titanic movie fan.

This was a perfect companion to my favorite movie of all time and my favorite ship! I learned more about how incredible and hard of a job James Cameron had to recreate the Titanic. Even if you think that you know everything about the movie or the real ship you will learn more and get more into Jack and Rose's relationships if you read this book.

I really enjoyed 'The Titanic' it is a very sad story but its very enjoyable. I would recommend this book for upper primary and up. I enjoyed the movie alot more than the book because it is more interesting.

Yes, I saw the movie. In the theater. 3 times.
Yes, it was awful. And absurd.
The screenplay sucked.
And Leo does nothing for me.
But man, did I lust over that ship-- even if it was a scaled down partial replica.
Totally impressive in that regard.

A guide to the movie that James Cameron filmed of the Titanic. Lots of pictures and information on how the movie was made. Well worth buying/reading especially if you are a Titanic or James Cameron fan! I still can't believe they made a replica of the ship to sink! It still amazes me.

May 26, 2015I think that Titanic was a great book to read. It tells us that this could happen again on a ship because it did happen in real life and it was very scary.
I hope this never happens to anyone again.I would recommend this book to anyone that likes true stories.

Titanic became a slight obsession of mine when I saw movie back when I was 13 years old or so. I remember sitting on the couch watching Titanic with my mom and brother, not entirely understanding the movie, as I knew very little, if anything at all, about the history behind it. But, somewhere around that time, I fell in love with it, and Titanic became not only my favorite movie of all time, but one of my favorite history subjects.
I hope Cameron's film has brought about some awareness to the true historical event that took place in the early 1900s. I know that is what the movie did for me - got me to research, to eventually visit the Titanic Museum in Missouri, to want to know more. It's made me that much more aware of that sliver of time a little over a century ago where so many lives were changed forever. The film may be, in part, fiction, but the event that inspired it was not. It's important we don't forget that.
As I got older I was able to recognize the feat of creating such a masterpiece in the 1990s. And after reading this book, I've come to appreciate it even more. Learning about the work and dedication James Cameron put into the film - the sets, the extras, the stunts, the technology, the research - is amazing! To learn that James Cameron was the one who sketched all of Jacks drawings? And the creative ways they moved and manipulated sets to create the illusion of a sinking ship... So many things about the making of the movie I'd never have thought about. If you're a fan of the film, this book is a perfect way to learn more about the making of it, and a little about its history.
The next time I sit down to watch Titanic I will think about this book and all of the work that went into telling the tale of The Unsinkable Ship.

I watched Titanic for the first time last week and immediately searched if there was a book and there was! so I ordered it from the library. It is a huge book in size and I basically read almost all of it in one sitting. I re-watched Titanic yesterday and started reading as soon as I woke up. I LOVED EVERY SINGLE PART. It was so fascinating to go behind the scenes and to know exactly how much dedication, work, and effort was put into making this film. The actors were incredible and James Cameron and all of his crew are JUST INCREDIBLE. They deserve all the success that they got from making this film a thing. I was also fascinated to read that James Cameron went down to the actual ship wreckage of the Titanic which just brings in another level of emotions. If I ever saw the wreckage of Titanic live I would probably break down because the tragic story of the titanic has intrigued me since I was in 3rd or 4th grade and I will continue to be intrigued by this "ship of dreams" for the rest of my life. I JUST CAN'T this movie broke me and I LOVED this book so much and MUCH respect to everyone who made this film happen. I will probably re-watch the titanic about 50 more times in my life and I AM SO HAPPY that I can relive it over and over again. MUCH RESPECT to the crew and actors!!

টার্মিনেটর চলচ্চিত্রের জন্য পরিচিত ক্যামেরন।তার রচনা, পরিচালনা ও সম্পাদনায় নির্মিত ১১টি বিষয়শ্রেণীতে অস্কারজয়ী সিনেমা টাইটানিক আমাকে মুগ্ধ করেছে।তার নির্মিত অ্যাভাটার নিয়ে মাতামাতি কম হয়নি।অনেকের মতে, তিনি হলিউডের এক কিংবদন্তী।অসাধারণ উদ্ভাবনী শক্তি নিয়ে অ্যাকশনধর্মী ও বৈজ্ঞানিক কল্পকাহিনীমূলক চলচ্চিত্রগুলোকে দিয়েছেন নতুন মাত্রা।টার্মিনেটরে আর্নল্ড শোয়ার্জনেগারকে ভিন্নভাবে উপস্থাপন করেছেন।সদ্য পরিণত বয়সে আমার যা উপভোগ করতে দারুণ লাগতো।সাগরের সবচেয়ে গভীর থেকে ঘুরে এসেছিলেন টাইটানিকের চিত্রগ্রহণের জন্য।বিজ্ঞানীদের মত, তাতে পৃথিবীবাসীর সাগর গবেষণায় আগ্রহ বেড়েছে।তার মতে, অ্যাভাটারের এত এত উপাদান চিত্রায়িত করার জন্য নাকি তিনটি সিক্যুয়েলও যথেষ্ঠ নয়।এই ছবির দুর্দান্ত গ্রাফিক্স আমাকে মন্ত্রমুগ্ধ করে দেয়।ক্যারিয়ারের শুরুতে কানাডার এই বাসিন্দা রক এন্ড রোল হাই স্কুল নামে একটি চলচ্চিত্রে কাজ করেন প্রোডাকশন সহকারী হিসেবে।এখান থেকেই সকলে তাকে চিনতে আরম্ভ করে।বিশ্বস্ত সূত্রে জানা যায়, পিরানহা মুভির সিক্যুয়েল পিরানহা-২ তে কাজ করেছিলেন।টার্মিনেটর সিরিজের মুভিগুলো আমাকে কৈশোরে বেশ ভাবিয়ে তুলেছিল।আমার বন্ধুমহলেও বেশ আলোচিত এটি।সর্বোপরি আমার মত, কেটের সাথে আবারো জুটিবদ্ধ হলে তা দর্শক জনপ্রিয়তা পাবে।
