Letzte Nacht der Titanic...die - A Night to Remeber

SDP
Im April 1912 schrammt die Titanic einen Eisberg!
Da das gigantische Schiff als unsinkbar gilt, gibt es an Bord viel zu wenig Rettungsmittel, zudem denkt die gehobene Gesellschaft gar nicht daran, in die Rettungsboote zu steigen, wenn es so kalt ist. Auch werden die vorhandenen Boote mit massiv zu wenigen Passagieren gefüllt. Erst als die Leute im Wasser schwimmen, erkennen sie das Schiff niemals unsinkbar sind...

Zwar wird hier versucht, anhand von Augenzeugenberichten, authentisch zu bleiben, aber die makaber, erschreckende Ahnungslosigkeit, verbunden mit Versnobtheit die hier gezeigt wird, ist dann doch schon ein wenig zu viel des Guten. Nicht einmal die schlimmsten der eingebildeten Menschen werden sich so verhalten haben, das sie ruhig bleiben, Whiskey trinken und einen Kellner los schicken, der nachfragen soll, wieso die Gläser schräg stehen? Das macht das Ganze eher zur Groteske, statt zu einer biografischen Lektüre. Fazit: ein wenig zu abgehoben.
 

Hintergrundinfos:
Das Produktionsbudget betrug zirka 1,68 Millionen $. Der Film basiert auf einem Buch von Walter Lord.

Zu vergleichen mit „Titanic (1943)“.
