James Cameron directed and co-produced Titanic in 1997. It is one of the epic tragical-romantic films of all time. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack Dawson (hero) and Kate Winslet plays Rose DeWitt Bukater (heroine). Titanic tells the evergreen love story of Rose and Jack. Rose is a first class passenger, but her family is going through financial crises which her mother Ruth is trying to resolve and retain their weakening high-class status through her marriage with Cal Hockley, her fiancé. Agitated over this marriage she attempts suicide by jumping off the stern of the ship. Jack, a poor painter, discourages her from suicide and saves her life. This is a pivotal scene where an epic romance begins. The acting, setting, and lighting play …show more content…
Rose’s distraught for her marriage with fiancé is very evident in her facial expression as she runs to the stern and looks off to the ocean. When Jack enters the scene, it is apparent that he is nervous; but, as he approaches Rose, his face reflects calm but courage. While attempting to discourage her from suicide, Jack realizes she is actually very disturbed, but afraid to jump.In this case, he shares with her some anecdotes on his experience with ice fishing to ease her stress off. Examining another sub-scene where she trips and falls, we can see his courageous face turning into a face of her new hope for life. Her face is brightened, her eyes are mesmerized, and her mind is strengthened by the end of this shot leaving audience enchanted. The setting is yet another critical component playing a more active role in this scene. Choosing the stern to be the best place for her to commit suicide is where the vitality of this set comes to play. Director James Cameron chose this particular location and the hand rails for her to accidentally trip was to create a dramatic helpless effect which he knew will trigger the minds of his audience. This significant setting is at the very end of the ship where no one usually wanders at night. It is quite and peaceful. In such a setting where the only two people to stand the stern are the two main characters when Jack (a complete stranger at this point) walks in ready to give his life to save her’s leaves him a heroic charm of
The facial expressions and body language exhibited in the scene portray the emotions the author intended for the audience to experience while watching. For example, the scene starts with Troy revealing to Rose that he is having an affair. As Rose hears of his extramarital affair for the first time, she is clearly stunned, as so mirrored in her blank expression. Her face is vacant of emotion as she comprehends this news, and once she does, she collapses. Rose’s fall showcases the impact of the affair on her, which allows the audience to relate to her. Rose’s facial expressions reveal a lot about her character. She is a loyal, selfless, and a hard worker.
My favorite history experience has to do with the movie called “The Titanic.” Not just the movie but the actual event happening. I wish I could have been there and survived the experience to be able to tell the amazing, life changing story. The movie and the actual sinking of the ship affected me in many ways. I think it also affected the way we make our boats today. When I seen this movie and realized not only how much the world has changed since the titanic happened, but the way we think and how we build things differently.
Titanic portrayed sexuality with attraction between a man and a woman. Rose was a beautiful woman whom her fiancée Hockley was the son of a rich and powerful steel mill owner. However, the sexual interest here was actually in the form of business. Rose was marrying him because of the money Hockley would inherit when his father died, a very prominent practice during that time. Men with power and money were shown to be desirable from all of Rose 's companions on the ship. This common theme of sexuality was broken from Jack 's introduction into Rose 's life. Jack was a polar opposite of Hockley, and he took on a different theme of sexuality of being free, seeing a woman as an equal, and not being rich. Jack ' sexuality was expressed in may forms different from Hockley. When he saved Rose from falling overboard, in his folk-style dancing with Rose, and in his chase of Rose which included kissing and having sex with her. Jack’s simple flirtation with Rose and his later aid in her freedom from the gender binds she was in became the cornerstone of the theme of the movie.
it is also not hard to point out many differences.It is far smaller than the ship I will use for my point of reference which is the oasis of the seas. The titanic is shorter in length, width and height other differences include the amount of lifeboats. There are similarities between the two. Some of the similarities include both are passenger boats as well as being huge for the Time.
The sinking of the Titanic has become one of the most well-known disasters in history, because of the terrible loss of life and the demise of what everyone believed was an "unsinkable" ship. As is evident from reading this report the use of substandard rivets was the main cause of the failure of the Titanic. By substandard we mean that the type of rivets used was incorrect as well as the location of these rivets.
My favorite time of the year is spring because I can see the flowers blooming, and feel the heat of the sun. I was also thrilled to discover that one of my favorite movies was coming out in 3D during this time. The Titanic 3D was being released on April 4, 2012 worldwide into the theaters. As soon as I found out about this, I knew I had to buy my movie ticket online and go watch it with my best friend.
The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was a fictional story based on the true ship, Titanic. Cameron's movie was based on a love story; however, the focus of this paper will be on some of the differences between the two classes aboard the Titanic. This movie clearly portrayed how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. This can be related to many other times in American history when groups were segregated as well.
The film shows various classes and the societal views of each. After the ship has hit the iceberg and is sinking, the lower class individuals are locked into the lower deck. With the limited number of lifeboats, killing off the poor allows the rich more chances at survival. The rich, it can be implied, are more deserving of life than the poor. A second illustrator of differences in class is the fact that Rose is of upper class and Jack is poor. Their relationship is short lived and not approved by Rose’s mother and fiancé. It can be assumed that, if the ship did not sink and the two were allowed to revel in their love, further disapproval would rise. Just as the poor were locked in on the flooding lower level, undeserving of life, Jack is undeserving of Rose’s love due to his social status and, as a result, died at sea.
Interpersonal communication plays a major role in everyone’s daily life. Because it is so important, theorists have developed two views about how to determine whether a transaction is interpersonal or not. We will be looking at the situational and the developmental view by applying it to a scene from a movie in order to determine which one is a better indicator. The particular scene that will be discussed is a scene from James Cameron’s Titanic. The scene takes place the day after Jack sees Rose hanging off the edge of the ship while she debates whether she should jump or not. Jack convinces her not to jump, and she agrees. But, her foot slips and Jack saves
Within the context of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron belongs to epic romance/ disaster genre. The film, released in 1997, was a global box office hit because the director provided equal importance to history, fiction and romance.

A couple meets on a ship and wants to fly off around the world together, only to discover they will have to survive a shipwreck first. We’ve all heard about it. And we love it. The Titanic is a lengthy movie, but James Cameron’s exceptional adaptation of the event makes it worth your while. Although this might not be Mr. Cameron’s usual film style, the fact that he is one of the most versatile and skillful directors of our time became unequivocal, as his attempt at recreating the story of the ship destined to sink by throwing in a heartrending romance is running-on-the-ocean exceptional.
The film Titanic (1997) leading by the famous cinema director James Cameron and whose principal protagonists are Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. This film tells an exciting story of love between two young people from different social classes who will meet each other when they get aboard of this extravagant boat(Cervantes). I think this movie was very successful due to different reasons. Among them I can say that their actors played a fundamental role in the creation of this film. The ostentatious scenery that was used to mount the film and to narrate for us the catastrophe happened with luxury of detail. This film also tells about an exciting and classic love story between two young people from different social classes, which in my opinion was the point that attracted that much public to love this film.
