Titanic Film Analysis

“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

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.

In the film 'Whale Rider', by Niki Caro which follows the journey of a young girl named Paikea Apirana and her struggle for acceptance as a leader of her Māori iwi, and especially her grandfather. An important character in this film is Pai herself. This character has significant importance as she is used to portray numerous important ideas and themes throughout the film. Pai helps me to understand and appreciate that women can also be leaders that are equal to men if they have the right attributes. The director Niki Caro uses numerous different film techniques to convey this idea, such as; the camera shots and camera angles when Pai is giving her speech to Koro, the use of camera angles and props in relation to the dialogue when Pai if fixing the motorboat engine, and the use of props when Pai is teaching herself to use the Taiaha.

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.

Titanic, one of the highest box office movie in the history of film industry, is an epic romance-disaster movie written and directed by James Cameron. The movie depicts the love story of Jack, a penniless artist, and Rose, a 17-year-old upper class lady, which happened aboard the Titanic—ship of dreams—during its ill-fated maiden voyage. Since the release of this movie, many generations are aware of this tragic historical event from this elaborate film. Meanwhile, the critics never had ended their analysis and conversation about this heated movie. And, interestingly, their claims are widely different from each other. Peter Krämer claims that the Titanic is a female-centered action adventure movie. James Kendrick says that Cameron takes the side with the poor, thus spread the idea saying that class does not matter. Moreover, “this is a film that made quite remarkable claims for its own historical accuracy”, said Richard Howells by questioning the historical fact of this movie throughout his article. And also Peter Middleton, he believes that this movie reflects our own value at the specific time period. Although Kendrick seems to talk about the class issue, he never had developed a precise analysis about it.

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.

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

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
