Aidan B This movie saved my life. - Aidan.B Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing new to add in this German version of the great maritime disaster; wartime propaganda slants the plot in favor of the German passengers.

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 Ribbon; 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating Nazi propaganda that turned the tale into a savage indictment of capitalism - its a bit like Oliver Stone's Wall Street mixed with (a very rough and dated and stiff - but less cheesy) version of Jim Cameron's Titanic. It's so odd to see the prominence given to the capitalist share brokering and financial wheeling and dealing here, but basically what it boils down to is a message explicitly saying "US/British greed capitalism sunk the Titanic, despite brave German resistance". While avarice and hubris surely had a role to play in the story, it is laid on far too thick and sinks (sorry) much of the credibility of the flick...which is a shame, because the set design, location filming and the especially the panic-ridden sinking scenes deliver the goods (by 40s standards), and (much like in Cameron's behemoth) some of the supporting player sub-plots and moments deliver real poignancy. More interesting as an historical artefact than entertaining as a film, but still worthwhile.
