Despite how entertaining the film Titanic actually is, it has many flaws that can be pointed out. Titanic is a love story between a woman of the upper-class and a man of the lower-class. Throughout the movie they face the difficulties of Jack (Lower-class man) not being high enough stature to please the family of Rose (upper-class woman) while they sail through the ocean on a luxurious cruise ship. As the Titanic sinks the film shows the two being together and going through the catastrophe that is the final hours on the Titanic. In the movie, Titanic, director James Cameron used a few important actual events that occurred in the history of The Titanic. However, there are some things that were only added for detail, entertainment, and action in film. Real-life survivors from the ship's sinking report what is valid and incorrect in the movie.
Many things in the movie, Titanic, actually happened in the actual event. One similarity is when The Titanic’s band continued to play as the ship went under. The lead violinist realized the chaos around him and started playing, soon to be joined by his band members. An article on the Titanic says, “After the ship struck an iceberg, Wallace Hartley assembled his eight-man band, and they eventually ended up on the Boat Deck near the entrance to the Grand Staircase. There, they played ragtime and waltzes.” (“Questioning The Story”). This is reported by survivors to be a valid occurrence in the sinking of the Titanic. Another similarity between the movie and actual event is when ice landed on the main deck of the Titanic. When the ship hit the iceberg, huge pieces of ice fell onto the main deck. A story on the Titanic says, “Survivor William Lucas reported seeing about a couple of tons ‘of ice’ on the fore well [deck] on the starboard side of the ship.” (“Questioning The Story”). Many people report seeing this incident happen that were aboard the Titanic. The Titanic movie has many similarities to the actual event.

Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is.

This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.
