If possible, can you share some screen images of this please and can you elaborate more about this alternative take? I’d certainly be interested on a sheer curiosity level to gauge the quality and technical details, such as the aspect ratio. Is it pan & scan, 2.35:1 or cropped 16:9?
After realising that the recording was censored, I erased it but as you know, there will be another airing in a few days. We can do a trade if you like… 😃
I’m surprised that you didn’t show your students the “edited for content” NBC and ABC Family broadcasts if the “mature themes” are an issue. What age range are they? Could the parents not sign waivers? I remember one teacher who did that in order to sidestep any potential repercussions.
Here is a short YouTube clip of the scene that is edited on the TV version: https://youtu.be/utG9tdw3QJg . I have confirmed based on the screenshots on Movie Censorship of the star fields, mountains and sun behind Jack that this ABC Family airing is the “old” version and not the 2012 version.
If you could record the re-airing I most certainly would trade. I checked and the TV version I have is from ABC Family but airing I have is not edited for language. Unfortunately I don’t have the NBC airings, I wish I did. One of my hobbies is collecting different versions of “Titanic”, which is why I’d love to have the Channel 4 version you mention.
Also I’m happy to record any upcoming broadcasts of “Titanic” or Titanic documentaries here in the USA for anyone who is interested in exchange for international broadcasts of Titanic for my collection.
