Titanic - Comments & Tips

The Nazi propaganda film _Titanic_ is incredibly bizarre yet imminently fascinating. Aside from a few names, the ship, and the iceberg, there’s no resemblance to the real people and events. In this version greedy president of the White Star Line Bruce Ismay pushes the _Titanic_’s speed in order to set a new world record in hopes of raising the company’s stock price and winning a prestigious Blue Riband; meanwhile the ship's only German officer, Petersen, attempts to warn passengers and crew that an impending disaster awaits if the ship isn’t slowed down before they reach the ice fields that lie ahead. The film is appalling on so many levels, yet it’s rather interesting to see how things have been distorted to fit the anti-British narrative. An obscene piece of propaganda, _Titanic_ failed spectacularly (forgotten almost immediately after it was released) and sank into obscurity.

A propaganda film which shows that British and American capitalism was responsible for the disaster. Heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point.
