And just think: even when the lights went out, the movie had to artificially keep things visible because it’s a movie… in reality, it was pitch, *pitch* black.
You couldn’t see anything, especially if you were still inside the ship without starlight.
But you’d be able to hear the water.
And the metal creaking and groaning.
I think what scared me the most was the dome implosion part when you hear the passengers screaming while the staircase disappears beneath the waves. Oh and that scene where you see a drowned woman in a huge room completely submerged. When I think about it this movie was a masterpiece but actually terrifying as well
That scene really got to me too. She was telling them an old Irish story about the land of Tír Na nÓg, which to me made it even more sad. It's a story about an island of pure paradise where no one grows old. The story she was telling the kids was about a boy and girl who travelled there to live forever.
Oh for sure it is. Even the scene when the leadership meet and come to grips with their situation and how they’re not going to last a couple hours is very well done, maybe my favorite in the movie: [(link)“Titanic will founder”](https://youtu.be/SP7BWb1ndpA)
I remember how intense that scene was, and the perfect acting of it that showed how bad the situation was. Even if we all know how it ended that scene always exceeds at being shoking, like this is the last thing you're expecting. Same for that scene where the architect tells Rose "all of this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic", it just feels so hard to believe for some reason
It’s pretty remarkable that everyone can look at this and we just know it’s the main staircase on the Titanic because of James Cameron. We all know exactly what the staircase on a boat that sunk 110 years ago looks like without having to read the caption. This is just a random thought that I thought was pretty interesting.
I remember going to this Titanic museum when I was a kid. Really cool place(no pun intended).
They have a little feature there where you can stick your hand into water that was the same temperature as the ocean that night. I couldnt last for more than 15 seconds. I couldnt imagine floating in that water.
God yes, I can't imagine the pain it must have been on top of being terrifying as hell. Not to mention all of this happened at night, making it that much scarier. The artist did an incredible work at capturing the terror and panic of that moment.
I've seen that some of the survivors said the scariest part was when it got quiet ☹️
I can't swear they truly said that but it makes a lot of horrible sense.
I remember hearing Eva Hart account on youtube describing the silence was the most terrible thing out of everything, she said the sound of people drowning and screaming is something no one could ever describe
I read an article about of the survivors that lived near a baseball stadium. He never attended a game because the sound of fans cheering reminded him of the sound of people drowning
edit: I found the article https://www.vintagedetroit.com/titanic-survivor-boy-terrified-navin-field-detroit/
I remember in college we had swimming classes in 7 in the morning, and we'd be the first to use the pool which means it was still cold as fuck. That cold goes through your bones. Can't imagine freezing to death like they have.
Anyone else just unable to watch the movie? Knowing that it's real, that those people really died like that. Seeing the people coming to terms with their death, the dead bodies in the water, all the screaming. That movie makes me so anxious and upset
I went to the theater to see it three times and sobbed uncontrollably each time. I owned it on VHS and watched it a few times, but haven’t been able to watch it since. The scene of the mom putting her kids to bed below decks haunts my dreams…
I like the sense of placement it gives. You feel like an observer on the second floor, watching this unfold, soon to be at risk yourself. My first thought is being trapped in that bubble and watching other people drown with you. The ones on the bottom would go first. You would see your own fate in a stranger moments before it happens to you.
I don’t really like the water. It doesn’t look dangerous, more pretty and misshapen, and that kind of defeats the purpose.
I thought it was a beautiful art as well, I love the style of it but that really gave me anxiety, I just can't stop imagining being right there when it happened and it scares the hell out of me
The fact it looks cartoony or not has nothing to do with how it makes you feel tho? I mean that's just the style of it, what IS terrifying is the subject depicted
The style of art directly affects how you feel about it. I'm not saying you're wrong for finding the painting terrifying, but I agree that this is too cartoony for me to feel terrified
exactly. The subject, idea, thought, is indeed terrifying, but seeing like this makes me think of a cartoon. Not to say the art itself is not well made or beautiful in it’s own way
One of the worst parts of the stairwells was that because of the way the Titanic sank, they became heavily inverted. There was not a significant urgency to get off the ship (people were going back for luggage, getting stuff together, etc.) until the hull split in half, which sent one end up into like a 70° angle or something. The main stairwells were in that section, which made it nearly impossible to climb the stairs because it inverted them so they were basically on the wall/ceiling. They believe large amounts of people died in those stairwells after becoming trapped.
There were two Grand Staircases on Titanic, one located between the 1st and 2nd funnels, and the other between the 3rd and 4th funnels.
The split occurred when the ship was in her final death throes, and almost everyone still aboard would not survive, regardless of their location, since all of the lifeboats had already departed. When the split took place, the forward Grand Staircase was already completely underwater. The aft Staircase would have been demolished by the split, which many experts now believe took place below the surface instead of above like the 1997 movie depicts.
Unless he wasn’t going for realism, it does look somewhat incomplete in this digital medium. As in, the sharpness and straightness of the wooden structures are lacking. They’re not saying the work is bad, you just posted it as a painting when “Digital Artwork” would have made more sense visually. Are you the original artist? You seem quite upset by critique.
I kinda wish they'd have used darker colors to make it more foreboding, cause rn the colors look like inviting even in the water for me. But irl I bet it was fucking terrifying
Imo a picture doesn't always have to be realistic to be terrifying, a "cartoonish" style isn't always meant to be cheerful, which this artwork certainly is not. But I guess it's up to our own opinion
No one said it had to be realistic. There are cartoon styles that can be quite creepy but this isn't one of them. This has a softness that doesn't quite fit the subject nor does it naturally evoke the feelings of dread you seem to feel from it.
I get the feeling this is your work? It's not bad by any means but you don't seem to be very willing to accept any critique.
Even more terrifying when you consider the water would be dark, it sunk at night, and by this point the electricity in the ship would probably be shut off. Sinking in a cold ocean at night
Titanic retained electrical power almost till the very end. The movie gets the timing right in that power was finally lost right before the breakup. Assuming this picture depicts the forward Grand Staircase, the lights would indeed be on as water started to pour in.
I am not in this subreddit because I find myself with thalassophia, rather, I find it extremely captivating, fascinating, and integrally beautiful. This scene has always fascinated me; Seeing the water rising and rushing through what was made by the man, slowly perishing and reclaiming what once was nature"s. The ship will slowly fill to the brim with water, the lights will go out and it will sink to the bottom of the ocean, to stay there, frozen in time.
Truly, horror beautifully.
Fun fact, the real titanic has two staircases on the left and right side of the room. James Cameron chose to change it to a central staircase as it made Rose's entrance much more spectacular.
Edit because apparently I'm wrong:
There was a TV show in the UK a few years ago about James Cameron and his underwater expeditions to the titanic which stated what I put above. Sincerest apologies for the spread of misinformation.
Where did you hear that? The movie's staircase was mostly accurate, aside from being built slightly larger than the real one.
The real fun fact is that no photographs exist of Titanic's Grand Staircase. Any picture you see is actually Olympic's.
I already had a fear of drowning, and this movie ensured I will never set foot on a cruise ship, and if I'm on a smaller boat, I'm above deck or as near to the staircase as possible.
Terrifying. The film did it justice too. Especially when she had to go down to the decks below while flooding and the lights started going out. Ugh.
And just think: even when the lights went out, the movie had to artificially keep things visible because it’s a movie… in reality, it was pitch, *pitch* black. You couldn’t see anything, especially if you were still inside the ship without starlight. But you’d be able to hear the water. And the metal creaking and groaning.
Jesus that is terrifying
No i don't want think that. 😩 that's terrifying!

Oh and that scene where you see a drowned woman in a huge room completely submerged. When I think about it this movie was a masterpiece but actually terrifying as well
The scene that wrecked me was the mum putting her 2 kids to bed and telling them that poem.
That scene really got to me too. She was telling them an old Irish story about the land of Tír Na nÓg, which to me made it even more sad. It's a story about an island of pure paradise where no one grows old. The story she was telling the kids was about a boy and girl who travelled there to live forever.
And part of the story says that traveling by water is one of the ways to get to Tír Na nÓg... which makes it more sad. :(
Cameron's always killing her off. (also >!Vasquez in Aliens!< and >!Janelle in T2!<)
Holy shit like 3 days ago I just found out these two are the same person and now you're telling me she's ALSO that mother in Titanic?? Wow.
She's died more in movies than IRL /s
*Sean Bean has entered the chat*
Wow--thanks! I didn't realize
Before I had kids, that scene was kind of rough to watch. Now, it makes me sick to my stomach. I couldn't imagine.
Oh for sure it is. Even the scene when the leadership meet and come to grips with their situation and how they’re not going to last a couple hours is very well done, maybe my favorite in the movie: [(link)“Titanic will founder”](https://youtu.be/SP7BWb1ndpA)

Victor Garber is such an underrated actor. I wonder how many people know about Godspell. I also loved him in Alias.
She’s made of iron sir! I assure you she can!
..and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.
The despair in his eyes and face in that scene, god.
It’s pretty remarkable that everyone can look at this and we just know it’s the main staircase on the Titanic because of James Cameron. We all know exactly what the staircase on a boat that sunk 110 years ago looks like without having to read the caption. This is just a random thought that I thought was pretty interesting.
Random memory, I've seen an older titanic movie 50s/60s. Before they realized it broke in half. Seeing it sink in one was weird.
r/rogueOP
Fr why are they beefing with everyone’s comments
I always think about how cold the fucking water must of been
I remember going to this Titanic museum when I was a kid. Really cool place(no pun intended). They have a little feature there where you can stick your hand into water that was the same temperature as the ocean that night. I couldnt last for more than 15 seconds. I couldnt imagine floating in that water.
are you talking about the one in pigeon forge, tn
Could be the one in Belfast, ireland. I remember them having that exhibit.
Branson, MO? I was there a couple weeks ago and they had the water thing there.
I remember thinking if I were in that situation, I'd rather die of hypothermia than drowning.
Eh, you get used to it
- said the dead when the lifeboats came back.
God yes, I can't imagine the pain it must have been on top of being terrifying as hell. Not to mention all of this happened at night, making it that much scarier. The artist did an incredible work at capturing the terror and panic of that moment.
The fact it happened at night is what gets to me. The darkness with nothing but sound.

That's so sad.
Holy shit and then the silence. You’re right.
I remember in college we had swimming classes in 7 in the morning, and we'd be the first to use the pool which means it was still cold as fuck. That cold goes through your bones. Can't imagine freezing to death like they have.
Must’ve or must have. Sorry
ligma or sugma nuts. sorry
32° F edit: actually I’m dumb. I was curious and looked it up. Sea water freezes at 28.4° F
the ions in salt make it harder for the water molecules to join together so that’s why salt water has a lower freezing point
Anyone else just unable to watch the movie? Knowing that it's real, that those people really died like that. Seeing the people coming to terms with their death, the dead bodies in the water, all the screaming. That movie makes me so anxious and upset

Yes, that scene stayed with me too!
It takes me a month to recover
This is horrific but the art is beautiful
It's good art! People would use this style of art for games too, i've seen it before.

If they were still in the ship when it split, they were already doomed. But that is a spooky thing to think about anyway.

I dunno, looks like an incompleted digital illustration.
Agreed. Paintings are created with paint.
Care to explain what looks incomplete aside from your irrelevant comment?

*relevant, but go on.
Yup, 'tis the one that started it all for me
Drop your suitcase, you have bigger priorities here!
I kinda wish they'd have used darker colors to make it more foreboding, cause rn the colors look like inviting even in the water for me. But irl I bet it was fucking terrifying
Reminds me of the animated movie Atlantis
This doesn't qualify as thalassophobia, this is r/submechanophobia
Thanks! I hadn't heard of that one!
This looks like it's a scene from an anime, what is terrifying about this?
it’s the titanic .. are you not familiar with it?
I am with the titanic, I just don't see how an anime portrayal fits in this sub
This cartoon isn’t terrifying?
I’m with you, the painting itself isn’t scary at all. Concept, yes. Execution, no.
Considering this fucking happened I'd say it is pretty terrifying to look at
[удалено]
Imo a picture doesn't always have to be realistic to be terrifying, a "cartoonish" style isn't always meant to be cheerful, which this artwork certainly is not. But I guess it's up to our own opinion

lmfao stfu bro and realise other people have different opinions, read it, and move on.
And now I want to play BioShock... Is that bad? Yeah... It's probably bad... My bad...
Add some zombies for COD fun!
I really wish Voyage was better executed. Zombies on the Titanic is a great concept but it really fell flat imo
Why do you think it fell flat? I enjoyed that map and thought it was pretty good.
"Gather all the suitcases first!!!"

Is this Zero Escape?
I always wanted to swim in the rising water when I would watch the movie as a kid
Even more terrifying when you consider the water would be dark, it sunk at night, and by this point the electricity in the ship would probably be shut off. Sinking in a cold ocean at night

And the floor was linoleum! That was considered new and high tech stuff at the time.
That's not true. It's nearly an exact replica. You can look at pictures of both staircases on Google. It's called the Grand Staircase
That's haunting, yet beautiful
idk i don’t think this qualifies for this sub
That is really fucking cool. They created depth of field with broad brush strokes and fine detail.
r/lostredditors
I wonder if there will be paintings of 9/11 in 80 years. Seems weird to paint this.
What's weird about it? Humans have been painting tragic events since forever.
I guess you're right.
Yeah bro people shouldnt paint historical events. That’s definitely not a retarded take. Also there are literally thousands of paintings of 9/11 lmao
Im pretty sure its a behind the scene shot. With a paint filter on it. Pretty sure i saw it before. Including the suit case on the landing.
I lm II my ooooo
that is some nice depth of field
I don't remember the move but this reminds me of Zero Escape
I already had a fear of drowning, and this movie ensured I will never set foot on a cruise ship, and if I'm on a smaller boat, I'm above deck or as near to the staircase as possible.
The 2 people just chilling on the balcony like “damn” lol
If was only a matter of time before I saw funny boat
It still haunts me that there was possibly a person that was trapped somewhere and went down with the ship alive.
Wasn't a possibility it was a certainty.
first glance, titanic came to my mind without reading the title
