the criterion collection 7#

The switching of the lens shows the completion of the ship very heavy and has a fate foretelling taste.

The typical structure of a disaster film, multiple characters and multiple processes, the core is a common event.

In the eyes of contemporary audiences who have been fed by a lot of special effects, this film is probably a bit dull and unsurprising. Although the method of performance has not changed much.

A Night to Remember quotes

  • Wireless Operator Cyril Evans: Hear it?

    [hands Groves his headphones]

    Wireless Operator Cyril Evans: That's the "Titanic".

    Third Officer Charles Groves: [listens then gives the headphones back to Evans] What's she saying?

    Third Officer Charles Groves: "Best wishes to Joe and Hattie. Wish you were here. See you Wednesday. Love Myra and Bill". Private stuff. Yes, there must be a lot of money on that ship. He's been at it the best part of the day.

  • Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Listen to this, Sylvia.

    [reads from magazine]

    Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: The new White Star Liner "RMS Titanic", the largest vessel in the world. It is not only in size, but also in the luxury of her appointments that the "Titanic" takes first place among the big steamers of the world. By the provision of Vinolia Auto Toilert Soap for her First Class passengers the "Titanic" also leads as offering a higher standard of toilet luxury and comfort at sea.

    Mrs. Sylvia Lightoller: Let me see.
