Atlantic is a very interesting take on the Titanic Disaster. However, like any other Titanic film, there is always an inaccuracy. Right now, I'm trying my best not to get picky but, this film is inaccurate on so many levels. (But I still enjoyed this Film lots!) But it was inaccurate because it's a late 1929 film. Not much about the disaster was known at the time. Anyway, the main character in this film is John Rool. He is an elderly disabled man who writes books about himself 'Making fun of Everything' as one of the other main characters named Monica later says in the film. Monica is meanwhile in love with a man named Lawrence or as Monica calls him for short, Larry. The young couple is due to get married and have a child in the next 4 months, however, half way in the film, a berg is spotted and the captain orders "Hard to starboard". The S.S Atlantic is just about to miss the berg but it's too late. The Berg Dents the Hull of the ship, causing enough damage for the ship to sink in just 3 Hours. 2nd officer Lancaster sounds the Alarm, thus waking the passengers up. Many of them disturbed. So he travels to the smoking room to reassure the passengers, that the ship is fine. After he dismisses most of the main characters, John Rool is still in his chair. Lancaster Han tells him, the the ship will last no more than three hours. Than about 55-60 minutes into the film, the dance orchestra begins to play music to calm passengers down. I'm honestly not surprised because this happens in every Titanic film...The band plays what I believe to be 'Bethany'. Than John Rool tells Lawrence (Which is in the room with Monica) to take her to the boats. Lawrence refuses. This motivates Rool to tell him the terrible truth. Lawrence than takes her to the boats.and In my opinion, the music was one of the most appealing parts of the film. It was very catchy and nice to litsen to. The scene switches to a bunch of panicked people on the promenade deck of the ship. The ship is now beginning to list forward. Because in some scenes, the camera actually starts to tilt forward. At this point, the band is playing 'To be in love'. Which is a newer song that just got released at the time. So this suggests that the film takes place in 1929 almost 1930. Monica than gets picked up and thrown into the lifeboats where she than screams out "Larry!" Out of grief. She than passes out.the lifeboat than begins to lower into the sea.he next boat than lowers to the promenade deck. This is when a man rushes through the crowd and fights people with fists to get into a boat. Another person also does this. They both get shot. Now this is when I'm not going to give much more of the film away. You can watch the full version of this film by searching up 'Atlantic 1929 movie' on Youtube. You can also go to amazon and search up 'Titanic disaster in the Atlantic' and but the movie there. And if you wanted to, you can search up on Ebay, 'Atlantic 1929' to buy the film there.
