A Night to Remember (1958)

Movie Reviews (part 3) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: More believable than 1997s "Titanic" and with better characters. Every death and life is important and is not just an effect that one can chew popcorn to. It feels more believable. The Downs: It is based upon facts about "Titanic" that were known before anyone deep dived down to the boat and actually discovered that it had been split in half."

"Watched on: 8/19 Better than the James Cameron movie. I thought it was very interesting that the ship didn't split in two pieces whilst sinking, I guess that information wasn't figured out until later. Something really weird happened while I was watching this, but when the woman with the lucky pig survived I felt extremely relieved for some reason. "

"14.4.2012 Elokuva ei takerru yksittäisiin kohtaloihin Titanicilla, vaan seurailee melko tasapuolisesti tapahtumia kaikilla kansilla. Silti elokuva ei suinkaan ole dokumenttimaisuudessaan puuduttavaa katsottavaa, vaan joutuisasti etenevä ja jopa viihdyttävä kokonaisuus. Tekninen toteutus on kestänyt aikaa hyvin. "

"14.4.12. TV YLE Teeman kuuluttaja sanoi, että sen mitä tämä erikoistehosteissa häviää, se saa takaisin brittiläisessä luokkakuvauksessa ja todenmukaisuudessa. Ei tämä kuitenkaan aivan niin pieni elokuva ole kuin sanotaan tai annettu ymmärtää. Elokuvassa käytetty pienoismalli on kuitenkin ollut 10 metriä pitkä ja statistien määrä ja lavasteiden koko on ollut vaikuttava. Yhdistettynä dokumentaariseen materiaaliin ja erittäin nokkeliin kuvaus- ja editointiratkaisuihin, joiss"

"14.4. Ei ehkä ihan tuntunut Titanicin uppoamiselta tämä, vaikka dokumentaariseen ilmaisuun pyrittiinkin selvästi. Ehken siksi innostunut elokuvan sisällöstä erityisemmin, vaikken todellisia ansioita lähde kiistämään. Aidosti inhimillisiltä tuntuvat hetket piristävät kuitenkin kokonaisuutta, eikä parituntisen keston aikana ehdi tulla pitkästymisiä."

"14.4. Aristokratian viimeinen linnake uppoaa, ja hienostotantat eivät suostu pukemaan rumia pelastusliivejä."

...aka 'A Great Film To Remember".

“A few years back when I was picky with film selections of which to watch and which not to watch, I had heard of Titanic films called Titanic but I hadn't heard of this one until I decided to do some research on the films based on the sinking of the ship. I am a huge fan of the American epic romantic-drama by James Cameron and after realising that this isn't only based on history regarding the sinking of the ship, but it goes into a deeper story than that and the main characters involved were real-life people (both survivors and ones who perished in the disaster) and that made the film even more interesting.

What I really liked with how well this film was handled was that it had almost precise historical facts about what really happened, who was on the ship etc which is something” read more
