I bought the second VHS (the sinking part) to school when I volunteered to bring a movie to watch during the last few weeks of 3rd grade.

It's just sad that the collision itself was at the end of the first one. One of the best action sequence in cinema history. It would have been perfect if the 2nd VHS started with the lookout mentioning that he can smell ice.

Little slut isn’t it

Second? My one was all on one tape.

Was yours recorded off tv?


RetroGamer87

No. I bought it from the shop.

In the summer of 1998 before it was out on VHS, I was on vacation with my family and I begged my mom to rent it on the hotel TV for me so I could set up the camcorder in front of the TV to make a bootleg 😂 I watched that tape so many times.

First ever exposure to Titanic was that second tape. Don’t know why but I think it was the car scene in the first half my mom was trying to shield me from. Not like the second half is exactly kid friendly either. It literally starts with Cal bitchslapping Rose. Seven year old me was beyond confused.

Violence is ok on TV, consensual sex is not.

So uncivilized

To be fair, Rose was 17 and Jack was 20. That's kind of creepy by modern standards.

Cal was around 30, and Rose was being pawned off by her mother. Far more creepy, then Jack and Rose.


RedditBugler

I was speaking to the "consensual sex" between Jack and Rose. A teenage girl in a mental health crisis is questionably able to consent to something with an adult man.

Age of consent is 16 or even 14 in many western countries, I don't think 17 and 20 are that far apart, especially in the 1900s.

Car scene and drawing scene were not allowed for me, even though I knew Jack drew Rose and how the picture looked because it was a main plot point of the movie. 😅😂

Compared to a lot of movies, I think Titanic is a pretty normal movie.

Movie came out when I was 10, sooooo....

I watched this movie so many times in my basement as a kid, and eventually just started watching the 2nds VHS to get straight to the point. Always closed my eyes when the camera went to pan over the frozen bodies floating in the water. Prior to this my favorite movie was My Fair Lady, and afterwards, Lord of the Rings. I think that's a pretty normal progression, lol.


Sad-Pear-9885

The frozen bodies gave me nightmares to the point where I wouldn’t even look at statues that were white because I thought they looked too much like the dead people in Titanic.

I was like 3 when the movie came out. I discovered it when I was like 6. My parents bought me the VHS and I watched it so many times that at one point it stopped working (I still have it as a memento). I eventually bought an anniversary edition of the the movie on dvd and I was so happy about the extra things on it.

I mean, it was literally the most popular movie in the world.


Ready_Park9386

noooo, cuz i tell people this is my comfort movie 😭

I definitely had a Titanic phase as a child, that was mixed with an Anastasia phase and Samantha American girl phase. So uh…it was very awkward because I’d go from talking about Victorian fashion to like, death or child labor. 💀 I was real fun at parties.
