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.
Titanic tells a true story happened on April 14, 1912 during the excursion of the Titanic transatlantic. The director mounts the scene of this story in all detail, carrying out extensive research on what happened the night the ship crashed against an iceberg, he also spent a large amount of money to recreate every detail. A wonderful love story between two young people who were forbidden to be together because of their different social classes. Rose (Kate Winslet) is an upper-class young woman who is forced by her mother to get marry Caledon Hockley, a prominent businessman with whom Rose's family was to maintain high-class status. During this trip Rose meets a young painter (Jack Dawson) who lived with very little in his pockets, he is a free soul who travels and knows the world thanks to his talent with painting. This boy managed to captivate the young girl, because in him, she found a way out, something different from what she used to live with. This is how this love story begins to become one of the most successful films.
The actors play the perfect role in this story, each one has its own personal characteristics, which contribute greatly to this film. Leonardo DiCaprio is Jack Dawson, making a correct interpretation. From my point of view looks like the typical guy who lives day by day without worrying about what is going to happen. Kate Winslet is Rose. In the first place it is necessary to emphasize
“Titanic” was a great representation of history and was mostly historically accurate, although obviously the love story between Rose and Jack’s love story was mostly for the plot. This movie was created in a way to help more people get educated on the sinking of the Titanic, considering that some people prefer learning through movies/documentaries rather that subjecting to their own research. The content of this film keeps the watcher drawn in so that they can stay more focused on it, and learn at the same time. This film was a good source of historical knowledge because although it was intended for entertainment, the information and overall set up of the film made it an easy way for us to retain important details, and become more invested in the subject at
“Mother is this ship really safe and unsinkable?” said Mary Anne Louise to her mom while she started to walk towards the RMS Titanic “I have the same question as the girl… Is this ship really unsinkable?” said a lady known as Mrs.Sylvia Caldwell. “Of course it is unsinkable God himself could not sink this ship!” exclaimed the crew member as he helped her up the steps.After they entered the ship, she stood in amazement see how this ship was designed.She suddenly saw a girl dressed in a simple, pretty white dress and a large bow on the back of her head.She wanted to say hi but her mom wouldn’t let her because she was a lower class than her
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.
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
A red Camaro sits somewhere rusting in a police lot, a tree having grown up in the middle of it, yet still oblivious as to the grief it has caused. Sometimes it’s something as little as a car to make people do things as atrocious as taking another life. In his film, Into the Abyss, Werner Herzog does more than just explore the murder case against two boys, Michael Perry and Justin Burkett, but rather take into account the complexity and reasoning behind the murders, along with the morality behind the death penalty. The film refuses to use any graphic images or over-the-top scenes to drive its point across, but rather creeps along with its own unique imagery, complex subject matter, and Werner’s ethical compassion about how people and their motivations.
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.
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 movie began by showing many second-class citizens surrounding the ship, waiting to board the Titanic. The first class had their cars driven up to the dock, beeping their horns so the second-class people
In “The Departed”, which takes place in South Boston, State Police are tasked with bringing an end to Irish American organized crime. One of the stars of the movie is the great actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays undercover cop Billy Costigan.

There is a key interplay between each man, and the people they are trying to deceive. The stakes are high, as each operative becomes entrenched in their double life,
Thesis Statement: From the disaster to the movie, the sinking of the Titanic remains one of the most famous tragedies in history.
Everyone knows the infamous story of the Titanic and her disastrous maiden voyage. As tragic as it was, it appeared as a relatively straightforward occurrence. An outrageously expensive luxury cruise liner which was deemed unsinkable by its crew and advertisers set out for the first time to conquer the seas, ultimately striking an iceberg and shortly after being completely consumed by the depths of the ocean in an appalling accident. Perhaps, however, there is more to this story than an ambitious new ship being greatly humbled on its first voyage. There could be a much larger story behind the Titanic’s rise and fall. A story that might even suggest the Titanic as we know it perhaps never even sank at all. It is possible the real Titanic
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
The White Star Line was owner of the Titanic, which was the largest and most luxurious ship in the world at the time. On April 10th, 1912, the Titanic left from Southampton, England with 2,227 passengers aboard bound for New York City. On April 14th, the ship struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland and sank about 2 ½ hours later. Passengers, mostly women and children, were loaded into lifeboats, however only 705 passengers survived as many lifeboats left partially full.
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
Love is key theme in titanic. Titanic is an epic romance film, which also contains certain historical and authentic aspects of the time it narrated.
