The Amazing Success of the Movie, Titanic

During the years of 1909 to 1912 the Titanic was being constructed and was launched in Belfast, United Kingdom. “I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.” Captain Edward Smith. The Titanic impacted American history through manufacturing ships stronger and the International Ice Patrol.

By the ending of the 19th Century, the qualities of industrialization of the United States were visually obvious. It had become a wealthy, powerful, and important nation, an inspiration among the other countries of the world. But there was a large price to pay for this growth which involved human suffering, and it was only beginning to be realized at that point. The Working conditions during this time were often inhumane; immigrant families engaged in cigar manufacturing, and they lived and worked in overcrowded, foul-smelling tenements. Factories and mines were designed with very minimal concern for worker’s health and safety. Workers worked extremely hard for hours at the bare minimum of wages, and they lacked practically any compensation

The author states that with “11 Academy Awards and box-office receipts still pouring in, “Titanic” is the blockbuster film epic of our age” (which would be the thesis) and is stated in the introduction of the passage.

INTRO: The Titanic will always be remembered as the most famous and important shipwreck in history. You’ve learned about the building, voyage, and sinking of the Titanic, but now I will tell you why the Titanic leaves a legacy like no other disaster.

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 Titanic movie begins with a salvage crew looking throughout the debris of the huge ship, in the hope to find a blue shiny diamond that is called “the heart of the ocean”. They instead find a photograph of a young lady wearing the diamond around her neck. That lady was Rose Dawson; while she was watching Tv, she sees her photograph and sets off to find the man who found it, then she joins them on their ship and the story of the Titanic ship begin. The story starts talking about two fictional characters, Rose and Jack, and their brief love affair aboard the ill-fated ship. Rose is an upper-class woman born into high society; Jack is an aimless drifter of much lesser means. While their love story, and the ship's sinking, are the main plot, this film depicts the glaring differences between the social classes both in how they live and how they are treated. The author mentioned that the Titanic displays in a dominated ideology since it is not focused on one audience but, it concerns about many audiences, which includes lower, middle and upper classes. Basically, the movie shows how the lower class struggle against with upper class and love overcome everything eventually. Even though this movie is a love and romantic story, the presentation of racial discrimination, and race throughout the movie. In this movie, I will argue two sociological themes. Social satisfaction and race play a big role in the movie Titanic. The Titanic movie demonstrates the ideology of race and class.

The Titanic was one of the largest ships that has ever been made. On its first voyage, the Titanic quickly ceased after encountering an iceberg. In the poem, “Titanic”, David R. Slavitt gives a brief description of the Titanic and how the world has remembered the legend. In a different poem, “The Convergence of the Twain”, Thomas Hardy illustrates the impact an Immanent Will had on the crashing of the Titanic. Both, Slavitt and Hardy challenge the views that people have on the legend of the Titanic by applying tone as well as creating a duality of expectations and reality.

Everyone knows the story of the Titanic. How the largest moving object ever fashioned by man hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank in the middle of the North Atlantic. To contextualize this piece of writing, discussing the aspects of rhetorical analysis is essential. “Conspiracies – Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank” documentary depicts a completely new level of the dreadful incident. The Titanic was switched with its sister ship, the Olympic and it was the Olympic that was sunk deliberately as part of the greatest insurance scam in history. The film is based upon and directed by Robin Gardiner, one of the few researchers of the incident of Titanic. His purpose was to shine light on the fact that Titanic was condemned just for White Star Liners to avoid bankruptcy. It includes evidences of British as well as American inquiries, eye witness reports of survivors, and newspapers of the day, photographs, videos, film and radio broadcasts. However, it is indeed a story that has left many questions unanswered. Was it nature’s doing or human’s? Gardiner efficiently uses pathos, logos, ethos and kairos in his documentary so as to create awareness among people today of such an enormous insurance scam.

The Titanic had one trip to do but during that trip a iceberg cut the ship on the side.

The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history in 1912. The Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing over 1,500 passengers and crew. There were many passengers and crew who died from the sinking of the Titanic because there were not enough lifeboats provided for them. The problem about Titanic survival is how can we make a better prediction rate for the sort of the passengers that were likely to survive?

About a hundred years have passed since the British passenger liner met its fatal end in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912. The RMS Titanic plummeted two miles to the ocean floor after clashing into an iceberg during its journey to the Port of New York. Over 1,500 people drowned in this unfortunate event. Ever since the sinking, numerous books and remarkable films have been made, telling the story of the ship and its passengers. The wreck of the ship was found in 1985 by the coast of Newfoundland, in the North Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, Titanic’s story has gained unbelievable public exposure and warns people about the danger of not being cautious enough. The Steamship, Titanic, was the end-result of fierce competition among competitor shipping lines in the early 1900s. The White Star Line company competed with Cunard, a British company with two ships that ranked in the categories for the most sophisticated and luxurious during their time. One of Cunard’s masterpieces, Lusitania, met its devastating end in 1915 when a torpedo was fired by a German U-boat and sunk the ship. The sinking killed about 1,200 out of 1,959 people on board and was the gateway to the United States’ entry into World War I. We chose this topic to write about because of the overwhelming impact that the event had on American history. The three categories on the Titanic are: the creation of the boat, passengers and luxury on board, and the night of the unfortunate tragedy.

The Titanic may be one of the most famous and well known shipwrecks of our time. Just about everyone learns of the tragedy in school and how it was a complete accident. Information has been found that point to the tragedy not being what we think it is. There is evidence that shows that the ship thought to be the Titanic may actually be named the Olympic, and may have been used in an insurance scam. This evidence includes pictures showing different amounts of port holes and even people working on the ship coming forward. It has yet to be proven if this is 100% true, but most would agree that all of this points to it being true.

Thesis Statement: From the disaster to the movie, the sinking of the Titanic remains one of the most famous tragedies in history.

The main fictional aspect of the film was the love story between Jack and Rose, two people who never actually traveled on the Titanic, or even existed. James Cameron envisaged the entire concept of this love story during pre-production, and uses the idea to manipulate the audience throughout the entire film. Character development in the film was vital, as this led the audience to care for what actually happened to these people. The death of 1500 people was tragic, but without key characters the audience feels no strong connection to what happens in the film. To make this connection even more effective, he uses a flashback and framing technique in the telling of the love story. He begins the story in the present day for the starting proportion of the film. He then uses a flashback sequence to 1912 for the majority of the rest, and then cuts back to the present day for the concluding part of the film. He also visits the present day a few times briefly during the main chunk of the movie set in 1912, to make important links between the two different aged Roses'. The first 25 minutes of the film are shot entirely in the present day. The old Rose' is shown as a feeble old woman who is being flown out to help a deep-sea recovery team in the finding of a priceless diamond necklace. A drawing recovered from the ship of Rose by her lover Jack is shown to the old Rose. The emotions shown by the actress playing her on the sight of this picture conveys highly effectively to the

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. To be specific, one can see that the film’s plot is based upon the history of RMS Titanic. On the other side, the main characters including the protagonist and the heroine (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater/Dawson) are fictional characters. Besides, the element of romance between the main characters (Jack and Rose) is the film’s main attraction. Thesis statement: The critical analysis of the film Titanic proves that the innovative mode of storytelling (flash back and other techniques),
