That seems to be the same shot from the original poster but photoshopped differently.

When my daughter was about 8, she must have watched this movie almost as much as she watched Shrek. And, no, we didn't care if there was nudity in it. Titanic was far, far more palatable.

The ship covers up the awkwardness. They should have just used the original poster, changed the logo, put a border around it and called it a day.

I was 9 years old in the third grade when my mom took me and one of my friends from school to see it. It was a couple months into its run so I was aware of it being popular. Another kid in my class spoiled the ending for me so I knew that was coming but the nudity was a complete shock and was the first instance of me wanting to die of embarrassment due to watching a movie with my mom and a sex/nude scene shows up. That was before the MPAA (or just MPA these days) mandated that studios had to put a description of the content under a film's rating like "Brief Nudity", "Graphic Violence", etc. Not long after it felt like every kid in my class had seen it.

Cameron is just something else when it comes to Box Office these days. His dialogue and storytelling are often criticised but whatever he is putting on screen clicks with a lot of people.

Just came back from seeing this in the remastered 4K 3D HDR with "Dolby Cinema" (Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos).

First time seeing this was back when it came out in 1997, and seeing it again today, all I could think was that this was pretty much peak James Cameron. Just such a well-made film overall that was masterfully directed, and still delivered in every way. Kate Winslet in her star-making role just reminded me of how good she was in this - and how beautiful she was on screen.

The 3D visuals and the Dolby Atmos audio really added to it too. And seeing the movie really made me want to see Aliens and True Lies get this kind of treatment too, with 4K 3D HDR versions of those as well. Dang that would be awesome, especially for Aliens. Hope that happens one day.

Still baffled why they only did the rerelease in 3D. They should have also had a 2D option available for those of us who wanted to see it again in theaters but not in 3D.

Congratulations to James Cameron for having two iconic films in the Top Five this weekend

Say what you will but the man is obviously doing something right...

 

[GothamCity]

Never understood why this was made like a entertainment movie.

They made this film like its a spectacle. I always found that strange while watching it.

 

[Drizzle]

I see where you're coming from with that given how it's based on a tragic event that was pretty monumental for its time. It's just easy to forget that once everyone who was alive to remember it has passed on and there've been countless other tragedies in the 110 years since then. I don't think Cameron exploits it or makes light of it in any way, he treated the whole thing respectfully. That said, along those lines given the subject matter I do think that converting it to 3D was unnecessary, both today and back in 2012.

Making it 3D is absurd ofcourse. Still wanting to cash with this film, like it wasnt enough.
Strange way of filmmaking.

A simple 2D rerelease would have sufficed.

They should have released a 2D version, too. I saw a lot of people on Twitter saying that they would have seen the rerelease if it hadn't been in 3D.

It wasn't made in 3D to begin with, so it's not even real 3D. He went back in after the fact and made it look like 3D, but it really isn't.

One thing I always wondered is why they messed over the character of Molly Brown so bad. They pointed out that she was called "the unsinkable Molly Brown" but didn't show why. They didn't show her taking command of the tiller of her lifeboat, and they had her meekly sit down after getting yelled at by the crew member. I'm sure people were wondering "Wow, what was so great about her? She was just another rich coward." Still not sure why Cameron bothered to include her if he was going to trash her like that.

Even as a kid I remember thinking, "That was it?" about Molly Brown after seeing the movie until I did some research and realized why she got the "Unsinkable" nickname.

What baffled me was that everything leading up to that moment in the lifeboat indicated that Cameron was going along with her story, but at the big moment where she took command of her lifeboat and persuaded them to go back and look for survivors, he bailed out and showed her just sitting down and shutting up in complete opposition to the character she showed during the rest of the movie. And I can't think of a good reason why, unless he decided he didn't like her and wanted to make her look bad. It's just very strange.
