A hundred years ago, a huge ship called the "Unsinkable" Titanic departed from Southampton, England, via Cherbourg-Octeville, France, Cove, Ireland, and sailed to New York, USA.

When passing through the waters near Newfoundland in the North Atlantic, it collided with an iceberg. Five watertight tanks entered water and eventually broke in two.
Of the 2,224 crew and passengers on board, 1,517 were killed, and only 333 of the victims were recovered.
This ultra-luxury cruise ship is full of dignitaries from Britain, France, and the United States, and the storage room is also full of jewellery money.
Not long ago, a piece of news caused a great discussion among netizens on the Titanic.
When an expedition dived to the sinking point again, they found that the hull was completely corroded and the famous captain's bathtub had completely disappeared.
Ten years later, the Titanic will be completely swallowed by the mouth of nature.
Nature has always despised the achievements of mankind, and the splendor of civilization is worthless in the face of degradation and corrosion.
The traces left by the disaster of 1912 on the earth will slowly disappear, and only those moving stories will linger between the screen and the text.
The movie "Titanic" in 1998 became the most touching love story of his parents' time. In 12 years, the director made a lot of box office with a 3D film remake.
The cross-class love between Jack and Ruth has become even greater in the face of disaster. When "My Heart Is Eternal", the tears of many lovers fell to the ground with goose bumps.
"Titanic" focuses more on love stories, but the portrayal of large-scale disaster scenes is unpopular.
The aura of the hero and heroine is too heavy, directly overwhelming the sense of existence of other people. After watching the movie, except for the peak appearance of Xiao Lizi and the fat and warm lady's body, everything else will be memorized for five seconds.
Today I would like to recommend a movie "Sunken Ship in the Ice Sea" with the same theme as the Titanic shipwreck.
Once the movie was released in 1958, it set off a wave of craze in Europe and the United States. It was adapted from the memoirs of Wright, the second mate of the Titanic.
The hot agenda that year did not lose to Jack and Ruth in 1998.
As the BBC version of the Titanic, "Ice Sea Shipwreck" is truly embarrassing. The kindness, ugliness, and helplessness in the face of disasters. More little people show their heroic tragedy on the screen.
The cause of the sinking of the Titanic has not yet been accurately concluded. Through the description of the surviving crew, "The Shipwreck in the Ice Sea" restores the full picture of the disaster at that time.
Not long after the ship set sail, the previous ship sent out an iceberg warning telegram, but the people on the ship were too confident that they thought it was too normal to have ice in this season.
In fact, Titanic received a total of 7 iceberg warnings, but the numerous private telegrams on the ship overwhelmed important information and numbed the captain's judgment.
When the iceberg was visible to the naked eye, the Titanic was still advancing at full speed and it was too late to slow down and stop. The crew hurried to avoid head-on collision with the iceberg, but the starboard side of the hull was torn.
The captain and the designer estimated that there is still an hour and a half before the sinking.
At this time, the passengers on the ship still didn't know it, and each was happy.
Here is a detail. The Carpathian received the rescue signal and quickly turned around to rescue. It took four hours to reach the accident site at full speed.
In the cold Atlantic Ocean, people can't survive for four hours at all.
In fact, not far in front of the Titanic, there is a ship visible to the naked eye, and it is expected to arrive at the accident site within an hour.
But this ship was lying in the dark sea like a dead body, ignoring the telegrams, rockets, and light signals sent by the Titanic.
The crew is not so stupid as to say they are selfish.
The dead ship received all the rescues, but for some reason, it was regarded as a "companion signal". Seeing the Titanic disappearing to sea level, the captain said:
Does she still send Rockets for help? no? what time is it now? Write it in the logbook.
Then continue to sleep.
It was not until the rescue had passed for a long time and the morning had arrived that the captain pretended to report his willingness to rescue and sent condolences.
Without the rescue vessel arriving in time, many people froze to death at sea. The adults climbed onto the lifeboat with their children and touched them down. The children had become stubborn corpses.
Among the survivors of the Titanic, there are obviously more dignitaries than the poor who sat down.
This movie also gives an explanation.
In the event of an accident, in order to avoid chaos, the passage from the lower cabin to the deck was locked by an iron door. The crew maintained order at the only exit, intercepting the crowd to escape, and at the end, the crew was shut down to escape, and the poor people took the fire axe and smashed it open. The iron gate.
But it was too late.
A large crowd rushed onto the deck, and there were two small boats left, the hulls of which had already leaned to a terrible level.
At this time, the desire to survive is driving people crazy. Many men have ignored the orders of women and children to get on the lifeboat first, jumping, fighting, pushing and snatching, and more and more people lose their minds.
The captain picked up the pistol, fired a warning shot, and forcibly maintained order.
Many details on "Titanic" are borrowed from this movie, including shooting shots, women's life jackets, and very classic band performances.
From the beginning to the last moment of the shipwreck, in order to calm the emotions of the passengers, the band kept playing music. Even though the conductor announced that the band was disbanded and everyone fleeing for their lives, the musicians turned their heads back and continued to perform at the last moment when the billowing water rushed to the deck.
There are more than these heroic little people. The correspondent who persisted in telegraphing until the last minute, the old captain who issued the order to abandon the ship but was with the ship, the bottom warehouse who has been sticking to the post, and the card friends who calmly face death. , Lovers hugging each other, old people who give their last hope to strange children...
Without the romance of dog-blood love, "Ice Sea Sunken" has more British restraint and sadness than "Titanic", just like the banker calmly left his wife on the last note. :
To die decently, like a gentleman. This boat will not have a lady left on the deck because I seized the position of the lifeboat.
Behind the tragic feelings are the questions that people have repeatedly raised for hundreds of years:
The unsinkable giant ship Titanic was declared dead during her maiden voyage. What caused such a tragedy of thousands of lives?
It is arrogant and proud.
Britain was at the peak of its economy at the beginning of the 20th century. The Second Industrial Revolution pushed Britain to its climax. The British Empire with colonies all over the world really thought it could never go down.
Titanic, as a giant system at the pinnacle of industry, made the people of the country indulged in the complacency of a strong national strength. Everyone thought she would not sink. Only the designer understood that she was not strong.
Especially in front of nature, she is vulnerable.
At the end of the movie, the deputy captain stepped on the rickety lifeboat, his face was covered with frost, watching the Titanic sinking with a whimper, and said sadly:
Behind every disaster, we can always find the countless mistakes made by human beings because of blind self-confidence.
But human beings never know how to learn a lesson.
Twenty years later, the arrogant and crazy Germany launched World War II and involved all of Europe in death.
After the scars were forgotten, Britain once again overestimated its national power and adopted a policy of appeasement, thinking that its past position could deter the enemy, waiting for the aggressor to stop, and missed the best time to counterattack.
From now on, the empire will not fall, but will decline.
