Contact (1997) Directed by Robert Zemeckis
How did they do that?
The mirror isn’t real. It’s a blue screen. And the hand/arm that reaches out is a different hand/arm than the one seen in the mirror.

Kinda weird that I started watching Manhunt, which is about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth, the guy who shot Lincoln, on the anniversary of the the assassination itself.
And on Cake and Cunnilingus Day, too!

At 11:40 pm (ship's time) on 14 April, lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg immediately ahead of Titanic and alerted the bridge. First Officer William Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the iceberg and the engines to be reversed, but it was too late. The starboard side of Titanic struck the iceberg, creating a series of holes below the waterline.
Between 2:10 and 2:15 am, a little over two and a half hours after the Titanic struck the iceberg, her rate of sinking suddenly increased as the boat deck dipped underwater, and the sea poured in through open hatches and grates. As her unsupported stern rose out of the water, exposing the propellers, the ship broke in two main pieces between the second and third funnels due to the immense forces on the keel. With the bow underwater, and air trapped in the stern, the stern remained afloat and buoyant for a few minutes longer, rising to a nearly vertical angle with hundreds of people still clinging to it, before foundering at 2:20 am.
April 15th, 1912
