Impact of the Movie on Public's Understanding
14th April 1942 is when the Titanic was accidentally hit by an iceberg and drove in the Atlantic Ocean more minor than the time of three hours (Montano & Carr, 2021). The number of passengers and their crew on the Titanic was about 2200, and they were on the voyage traveling towards the United States. The analysis of that historical disaster revealed that among all passengers and crew members, only 705 were rescued. By the given facts, it is experienced that ship can float over the sea’s surface even as a result of devastating accidents at sea, but the Titanic drove within three hours.
The disorder in the ship revealed the fact to the public that the used material of the vessel was made of flawed and low-quality components, which entailed the ship to sink in the vast sea (Ravid, 2018). Additionally, the movie came the concerned government officials to improve the quality of the materials used in the ship. The factors about the improvement in the manufacturing of the design of vessels by introducing the revolutionary measures in the safety regulations of the ships to prevent disasters in future as the Titanic received. It also facilitates the shipping industries to restrict their manufacturing modes for future expectations.
The public remained conscious about the wreck of the Titanic perceived in the movie that the devastating fractures in the ship were caused by the usage of hull steel material in the boat (Escher et al., 2021). By the investigations made by scientists, it is revealed that the edge of the ship of Titanic made from steel found in shattered condition and the high-quality material used in boats made of tensile steel, which is hard to bend and mold. Another reason for the ship disaster came before the public that ship embraced a high level of collision through the iceberg and low level of water temperature it was faced during disaster time. As the iceberg caused to break the hull plates of the ship Titanic, the resulting holes allowed the water invasion to come in the section of the vessel. The persistence of the gigantic seawater flow caused tremendous forces to break through the ship’s plates as it is not a matter of concern. It encountered a flood of water everywhere in and around the vessel to enable it to sink in the seawater quickly.
Changes to Improve the Movie Titanic
There exists the need for improvement to improve the dimensions of the movie of Titanic (Kurzbaum et al., 2019). It is a matter of concern that if the used material of Titanic consists of the manufacturers of double hull steel, the risks attached to the accidents in the sea tend to reduce. There prevails the need to bring betterment in the quality of steel plates and riveting of the ship. The bulkheads used in the craft of Titanic need fully sealed against water to lower the risks of shipwrecking and disasters in the Atlantic Sea.
The screenplay of Titanic needs to improve the facilities of taking care of ships at a national and international level. Still, the RMS Titanic occupies space as the national jewel in maritime history. The changes of the disaster through Titanic lead to change the whole structure of life protecting strategies more effectively. It promotes the tragic end of the love story, which presents a terror visualization that shows people to cry caused to change the dilemma of dealing with the sentiments of the people at an alarming edge.
