Titanic Original Collector's Edition with Special Features [Blu-Ray]

We all know about this movie, it’s a classic and there’s a little something for everyone in it. Romance, cool deep sea exploration, historical stuff, suspense, and I could continue to go on. I always thought I wouldn’t like it when I was younger but I was just being a hater, it’s good. SPOILER WARNING AHEAD My main issue is the part before the very end where Rose throws the necklace off the boat. Like what the heck? And she makes that annoying little noise too? It frustrates me to no end.

It has it all. Engineering, action, personal development, romance, fear, triumph, challenges, and resolution. This movie never gets old.

A beautiful set with lots of extras and awesome content like the musical score of My Heart Will Go On, the ships blueprint with the key scenes located, the note Rose left behind for Cal, the tickets won in a poker game. Also, it looks remarkably fantastic on 4K UHD. Definitely worth it to have in your collection and if you’re a fan of this great film by one of the greatest directors out there, James Cameron!

For the product itself, that is, the DVD, it was perfect, BOTH of them! I ordered a used one, and it took too long so I ordered a new one. They both came, and so far I've played only the used one! That a DVD is good is not much of an issue. The bigger issue is the movie, that is, the story. I got interested in the movie because of some YouTube videos of James Cameron going to the wreck of the Titanic and elsewhere to the bottom of the ocean, especially the Challenger Deep, about 7 miles down, the deepest part of the ocean. Then I decided to watch his movie 'Titanic' again! Well, the movie had enough in it on the actual ship, the weaknesses in its design, and the mistakes in its operation. Okay, got that, but it took only maybe 10% of the time of the movie. Next the movie was a story about the strong class differences between first and third class. Okay, the first class eats rare lamb with mint sauce for lunch and caviar with champagne for dinner! Next, get to see something of the style and mannerisms of rich/royal people then. The few times I've been in a yacht club dinning room, the style and mannerisms are still in force. Next the movie is a love story between a surprisingly bright third class boy, Jack, and a gorgeous but scared, confused, and frustrated first class girl, Rose, already engaged to a son, Cal, of the wealthy owner of a Pittsburgh steel company. The first class sex role differences are really strong: The men are concerned with business and politics as it affects business, and the women are wildly over dressed, cared for, and limited to narrow, empty versions of social small talk and gossip. Rose is afraid, terrified, of the "inertia" of her life that is pushing her beyond her control into the emptiness of the first class female roles. In particular she is terrified of the power of her future husband Cal. He's actually a pretty nice guy, adores Rose, but has zero insight into her fears and other emotions. If she would just go along with the established wife's role, then he wouldn't need insight. She didn't have to be afraid: She COULD have played the empty role some times and done interesting things other times. And the story had a woman who punctured the role, Molly Brown, a new-rich woman from the US West, Rose could have used as an example and/or tutor. So, in a peak moment of fear and frustration, Rose decides to jump off the back of the ship. As she is outside the railing ready to jump, Jack sees her and talks her back. They have a friendship. He has some, not a lot, of good insight into Rose's problems, and that comforts her. They have a fast love affair. She decides that when the ship reaches NY, she will exit the ship with Jack. The ship sinks, and Jack dies of the cold water. Rose lives from being on top of some floating wood and being picked up by the rescue efforts pulled in by wireless SOS calls a little before the ship sank. Cal also lives, on the rescue ship looks for Rose. She sees him, ignores him, and he doesn't see her. She was REALLY afraid of the rich life style! Cal was really slow on the uptake! With her love affair with the boy, she was REALLY eager to give up financial security and jump into poverty. The love affair was a bit of a strain to believe, but I've seen some women that were that mixed up! But the costumes, sets, music, acting, directing, computer animation are all so good it is very good story telling!

Love this set It's loaded with extras and you'll spend several hours enjoying it.

I've had a top-notch 3D-capable home theater system for almost five years. Quite honestly I haven't bothered with calibrating the 3D settings of my 75" TV until recently because so few movies have been released in which 3D adds to the viewing experience. Most use it as a gimmick. The colors get washed out; the 3D effect is either meaningless or grossly overdone... and that's in the theater presentations! This is particularly true of post-filming 3D conversions, which is what most are. Enter Avatar, the gold standard for 3D movies. It was created with 3D in mind and is flawless in that regard. There are also some great animated movies that work in 3D. But are there enough live-action titles to make it worth your while to bother with the format? Well, you can add one to that list: Titanic. Even though it is a 2D conversion, Titanic in 3D impresses. It proves that picking the right story, and making the right 3D setting decisions, can result in a stunning viewer experience. The dramatic vistas benefit from the effect, and 3D depth is used appropriately. Colors still look great IF your TV 3D settings are properly set. I won't go into geeky technical details. You can get all that elsewhere. Suffice it to say that I'm glad I bought this Blu-ray product. I would however like to add my 2-cents about 3D in general. If you haven't already invested in a home theater system and plan on watching 3D, I urge you to go big. A 55" screen would be the minimum I would suggest because it takes a large image to immerse you into the 3D effect. Also read about your TV settings. They will need to be very different for 3D than they are for regular 2D viewing. You can find details about your model TV on forums like AVSforum.com. Of course professional calibration will give you the best results, but you can still vastly improve on the factory menu settings by doing some searching online. Finally, keep in mind that your home 3D experience will only be as good as your glasses and other components will deliver. Do your homework and you'll find good deals on stuff that delivers great results.

** How good is this Blu-ray technically? The image on my modest 32-inch widescreen is clear but not huge. However, the quality of the rendering in this blockbuster is so good that it is due to the rendering possessing a much wider palette of colours, brightness, and contrast levels, and topped off with great sound mixes. In fact, I thought, at the time, there was a fault with the Blu-Ray device, as it was like comparing chalk and cheese in quality terms when comparing this Blu-ray to the DVD and DVD player I previously used. This film was my first encounter with the Blu-ray format on a second-hand Sony player. This idea that the DVD quality was the reference continued until I realised how superior and different this Blu-ray copy is by possessing these attributes, and how really good it looks even on my standard quality, wide-screen, typical telly. The quality of the Blu-ray is held back a bit by my ordinary telly. I have seen my sister's TV, and it is of much better quality, and these disks would be much improved with a better set. ** Errors in story settings I have met casual viewers of this movie who say that its recreation of the event is full of inaccuracies. And that 'A Night to Remember' is more accurate. They are, i.m.h.o. both mostly accurate up to each other and to several points. At the time I saw it first, I bought seven books from Amazon about the Titanic and read each at least twice. Overall, its retelling is accurate. The major possible big error is that the ship would not have been beyond 23 degrees from the horizontal, as its keel would break. This was tested and proved by a TV station that paid the $4k to have the shipyard designers accurately create the Titanic parameters in CAD and test its performance on a computer. The only other error is when Jack wins the card game, he boards the R.M.S. Titanic at noon. The last time a person could, in reality, board the ship was actually 11:15. Another small part, some people suggest, is another error, about the film's depiction of the film is when the sailor is instructed to turn the ship. He's instructed to turn the ship to the starboard (right), but turns the wheel to the port (left). All ships before 1928 had this somewhat counterintuitive way of steering. Another error is when Officer Will Murdock shoots two people and himself. This wasn't true, although it was due to its sources being bogus. Being based on the then anti-English propaganda from the then Irish in Eire. Another fact that is accurately shot, but others say is not true, is that the sinking in the ocean around the ship has no waves. Amazingly, the earlier part of the sinking was so gradual that it allowed plates to float off tables. The lack of waves was unique in the calm of the ocean. The crew even said they had '...never seen such a flat calm. Like a mill pond.' Jack says he was ice-fishing close to Chippewa Falls, (Wisconsin). This was only built in 1917. The Titanic sank in 1912 The flares of ships were not standardised. The colours meant different things, depending on the line of the ship it belonged to. ** Brief background facts not mentioned in the film, but have a bearing on the sinking of R.M.S.Titanic The ships in the White Star line had names ending in 'ic'. Such as Britannic, Olympic, and of course, the Titanic. The R.M.S. is 'Royal Mail Ship', as it involved taking post both to and from the U.S.A. for $50k a year. Titanic's home port was Liverpool, UK and not London, as seen on some items on sale. It was also granted a tax break by the U.K. government, which stipulated that, in the event of a war or conflict, it would be commandeered by the armed forces and used as a troop ship. There was a coal strike, and the Titanic needed to buy coal from several ships around it. This ship was the last major ship to use coal. All later ships following this used crude oil. The radio wouldn't work. So it was stripped down and rebuilt in 24 hours. The radio was tested and was powerful enough to both reach and receive to and from Cairo, Egypt. If it had not been fixed, then the wreck would have been a total loss of crew and passengers, with no records of what went on. The reason why the radio was promoted so heavily as a security measure by White Star is that, before this incident and a few years prior, the ship S.S. Miami was crossing the Atlantic when it struck an iceberg. This time was head-on. Crunching the bow by 17 feet. But their radio called other ships. This saved all the crew and passengers, and no fatalities. This was a reason why the 'unsinkable' ship myth was strengthened. R.M.S. Titanic no longer required more lifeboats. The Titanic was the last ship to use manually powered methods to lower lifeboats. All major ships after this used electric motors to lower lifeboats into the ocean. However, the remaining main catalyst, not mentioned in the film, of the sinking is that a coal bunker was spontaneously burning and superheating the side of the ship. This extreme heat and very cold ocean water really stressed the ship hull, made with Siemens-Martin formula steel. The stokers let others know of this. But this was common, as coal can spontaneously start burning. Photographs taken of the exterior of the ship while in Northern Ireland show this in the discolouration of the hull on the outside of the related coal hopper. This, retrospectively, is the major reason for the weakened hull to fail in the collision with this ship and the iceberg. Under examination by the ship investigators of the Titanic hull, the actual summation area of the damaged plates spread along the side of the hull, which allowed the ocean water inside the ship to be a total area of only 12 square feet. It's stripped rivets and buckled plates, spread over 300 feet of the ship's skin and not a big gaping hole as previously thought. When the R.M.S. Titanic's engines started at exactly noon, off in Southampton Harbour, they had so much force that it almost caused the S.S. New York to hit the Titanic. There was a comment that the third-class passengers were locked below by White Star, stopping their progression to the lifeboats. These were actually policies instigated by Ellis Island immigration in New York for the control of the spread of any contagion. And not an inhumanity crime carried out by White Star workers. The film, overall, was the best they could do at its time of creation. The sailor in the crow's nest of the Titanic, Fredrick Fleet, was the first to see the iceberg and said exactly as seen on the screen, "Iceberg right ahead." He survived. And helped with the inquiry into the disaster.. Then had a long career in shipping. He became suicidal in 1961 as he blamed himself for not seeing the iceberge obstacle sooner. This is the so-called curse of the Titanic. The Board of Trade investigated the sinking of R.M.S. Titanic. It investigated the Board of Trade itself. Not surprisingly, it found itself not responsible. And largely blamed the ship S.S. Californian's captain, Lord, largely responsible. With the sleeping radio operator not responding to distress messages. ** There are features on the other disk in this set. The two big ones feature a diagnosis of what happened to the ship and how it sank. These were very interesting to view on their own. ** Seeing the movie in the theatre I saw this movie in the cinema at its original showing three or four times. The audience was upset at the scenes, and I heard people, both men and women, around me crying. The people who see it now will not admit to this ever taking place! And its effect doesn't make me cry now. I am less moved by this movie now, too. On the hundredth anniversary of the sinking in 2012, I saw the 3D version of Titanic on the big screen. I was the only attendee! The 3D version is good stuff. It's used heavily up to the middle of the film, and less towards the latter parts. I would have thought and expected the sinking in 3D would be spectacular. But it was not applied at this point in the movie. ** Is it worth seeing the recovered artefacts from the wreck of the Titanic? If you like or love this movie, and if you ever have the time to view the artefacts retrieved from the wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic, I recommend you go. My brother wasn't going to see it, but his friends said it's once in a lifetime. So he drove both of us, and I paid for myself and my brother at £17.50 each. To see the retrieved ruins is a privilege and an honour. As it turned out, my brother, who's not keen on the film, touched the 'Big Piece', a 15-ton piece of the hull, for over a minute and was still as if spellbound.

Love this movie-Bought before but ended being special features only-No movie. Seen it for the first time at the theater in 1997. Bought on VHS when it became available. Got rid of all VHS when the Disc came out.

Transcrissão para o 4K muito boa, pena não ter legendas em português.

Un chef d'oeuvre et une leçon d'histoire!
