101-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater tells the story of her life aboard the Titanic, 84 years later. A young Rose boards the ship with her mother and fiancé. Meanwhile, Jack Dawson and Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets aboard the ship. Rose tells the whole story from Titanic's departure through to its death—on its first and last voyage—on April 15, 1912.
This movie contains 56 potentially triggering events.
Cal stalks Jack and Rose down the grand staircase with a gun. His bodyguard stalks them earlier in the movie and chases them throughout the ship. He later stalks them in the flooded dining room to try and kill Jack and take the Heart of the ocean for himself, this is a deleted scene in the extended version.
First class passengers are shown drinking champagne during dinner and Brandy, while third class passengers are shown drinking beer. There are a couple of drunk third class passengers during this scene but no addiction.
The only animals seen during the film is dogs and a couple of rats. Historically and realistically most, if not all, of the animals would have died by no deaths are seen onscreen.
It’s assumed that Jack attempted to rape Rose near the beginning of the film, after their encounter on the bow (when they first meet). It’s not mentioned explicitly, just in vague terms, i.e. “How dare you put your hands on my fiancé!” etc.
Characters are crushed by falling ship parts, but the actual damage to their bodies is not shown, only implied. No blood or gore related to these deaths.
No heads are shown getting crushed. However, large parts of the Titanic break off and fall on top of several dozen people, presumably crushing them to death.
Many people fall as Titanic's stern rises, hitting many metal things on the way down. Many also fell into the hole where Titanic split and one man jumped from the stern and hit the propeller blade on the way down.
As the ship is sinking and tilting toward a 90-degree angle, one man loses his grip on a railing and falls several feet toward the water. His body hits a propeller on the way down and this is likely what kills him.
Cal finds a child separated from her parents and pretends she is his daughter to get into a lifeboat, but she is handed to another passenger and is not seen with him again.
Yes. An extremely valuable and coveted historical item —a rare blue diamond necklace worn by Louis XVI— is tossed into the ocean near the end of the film.
Also, a ship — itself a record-breaking technological marvel in its time, not to mention all the valuables aboard, including one-of-a-kind paintings and sculptures— sinks due to hubris and serious lapses in judgement.
A main character attempts suicide early on, but is saved. Later in the movie, several characters actually commit suicide, in various ways. See the comments for "Does someone commit suicide?" for more detailed trigger warnings.
the movie takes place in the present and in a flashback, it changes from time to time. and also in a dream later on where the people from the flashback reappear and meet the main person as her prior self, and they are clapping. It might be hard to distinct
Some mechanical sounds made me cringe. There are also some gross mouth/throat sounds during the "spit like a man" sequence that might be triggering to some. Starting at 2 hours, 47 minutes, someone blows a whistle repeatedly.
Rose in the beginning of the movie. She doesn’t say the exact words, but she’s standing on the other side of the ship’s rails and has a conversation with Jack about her intent to jump overboard, insisting that she will do it.
The beginning shows a submersible underwater investigating the Titanic wreck. I believe some of the footage of the wreck was from a real expedition iirc. There is a tense scene where Jack swims underwater to find a key. Also, near the end there are many shots of dead people underwater.
there are 2 very sad scenes with a mother and her baby. The Mother asks the captain what to do, as the lifeboats are leaving. Later on, as one of the lifeboats returns to check for survivors, it is briefly seen that the mother and the baby are frozen in the water.
None of the main characters are LGBTQ, nor are there any we know of. So not in the movie but it is safe to assume that on the actual ship there were LGBTQ+ folk
The remark about Freud is not about body size but about penis length. It alludes to psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's discussion of phallic symbols. Rose replies to the ship owner's boast about the size of the ship, suggesting that he is really boasting about the size of his penis.
There aren’t any black characters and historically there were only a few black people aboard. However, the fact that lower deck crew and third class passengers were the first to die, by design, might speak to this trigger.
Yes! Rose is 17, and her fiancé Cal is 30. The movie acknowledges the toxicity of this relationship, but still something worth mentioning if you're sensitive to that.
A man loudly recites the Lord's Prayer as the ship is sinking. Rose and her mother briefly attend church on the ship where they are seen singing hymns. At the end, there is a scene that is implied to take place in the afterlife, which can be interpreted as a "heaven".
A car honks near the beginning of the flashback sequence, as old cars are honking to get through a crowd. Jack also honks a car horn briefly when he and Rose are in the cargo area below deck.
Cal chases Jack and Rose with a gun and starts shooting at them. Tommy is accidentally shot and killed by a crew member who them shoots himself, as an act of suicide.
