The 1997 movie “Titanic” was widely beloved for its epic romance that made stars out of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and for the special effects that director James Cameron used in depicting the sinking ship. The actual inventor behind the flashlight was David Misell, who at first intended it to be a bike lamp. Many viewers said he was smoking a mass-produced filter cigarette — something that didn’t exist in 1912. Cameron’s version of First Officer Murdoch actually generated some controversy. There are countless other posts “debunking” mistakes, some of which are correct, and others that add more errors to the narrative surrounding the movie ‘Titanic.’ We will keep adding to this list over time.
