Say what you will about the film, the costuming was meticulously researched and the clothing is dead accurate 1912, not 1911 or 1913, nut 1912.

Naah... maybe I shouldn't.
"Titanic"- amazing craftsmanship - Bambi B 09:57:07 06/10/06 (0)
rico,
I agree "Titanic" is a fantastic body of period accuracy and marvelous movie craftsmanship- but I maintain the Winslet and Dicaprio characters do not reflect realistic attitudes and dialogue of the time- these are modern people. The fiancee was a one dimensional snob/brute/coward and doesn't ring true- he would have been carefully brought up and charmingly elite.
But, with the "hardware" part of "Titanic", everything seems correct. I think the tristing-Renault in the hold was the the exact model and body style that was known to have been shipped. In "Ghosts" we see the rusty remains of one of the front wings and wheel of the actual car. I spoke to James Cameron about the research for Titanic and he mentioned that even the angle of light of the simulated Sun on the ship was completely accurate to the day, time, and position the ship was in. It's an impressive movie in these regards.
Cheers,
Bambi B
