Astrologers have been in search for a rare diamond necklace called the “heart of the ocean” that was gifted to Rose Bukater from her fiancé Caledon on the ship before it had sunk. Even though the diamond necklace is not found, the astrologers recover a safe with drawings of Rose Bukater wearing nothing but the necklace around her neck. These pictures were shown on a news channel from where an elderly lady claims to be Rose. When she comes to meet the astrologers, the story of the titanic is told through her. …show more content…
19, 1997 | The Film 'Titanic' Premieres“, Jame's Cameron's $200 million film, Titanic, has been one of the biggest and appreciated films of all times. The three and a quarter hour experience of this film puts the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 into perspective to its audience members. The director, James Cameron had been extremely precise throughout the film, noticing and handling every small detail. In my opinion, this article sums up my thoughts of how I personally felt about the film as a whole. The article states, “...the ship is afloat again, and the audience in intimately involved in it's voyage.” That is also a major part of the film that had stuck out to me every time. The film represents the 1912 tragedy so precisely that it is no less then being fully realistic. In my opinion, the article is definitely right that the director put in loads of effort and cost into making this movie look realistic. The article claims that he nearly had “life-sized model of the Titanic built and gone great lengths to recreate the look of the ship and its passengers, down to the smallest detail”. There were scenes in the film where the ship would be shown as a whole and it would seem as if it were a real ship in the middle of the ocean. Other than that there was a scene in the movie where the life boats were being showed to Rose and her mother, and the boats were taller than them in size and looked as if they were made with real wood and not plastic, like what we'd expect film props to be made of. The movie did do an outstanding job in taking the audience through the journey of experiencing the sinking of the titanic along with having us being apart of a memorable love story between two people who could not be united by body but were always united through

    The Titanic set off for its first and sadly the last voyage on April 10th, 1912. The supposedly “unsinkable” ship sank in just under 3 hours, taking just over 1,503 people with it. The Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if it wasn't definitely due to man-made errors; such as not being built in a uniform fashion and the pure ignorance of crew members. There is additional evidence to suggest that the climate could actually have caused the Titanic to sink, but even though the climate kind of was a factor the crash still could generally have been avoided if the binoculars hadn’t been locked up. Therefore, the Titanic sank due mostly to man-made errors that ultimately caused the demise of the Titanic.…

    The Academy award winning film Titanic depicts ideologies of gender and class differences of the 1910’s. Masculinity of the upper class male is portrayed as strong, violent and intellectual men. On the contrary, upper class women are represented as separate spheres and submissive to the males. James Cameron, the writer and director, makes a fascinating portrayal of Rose, the lead character, in relation to feminity. The movie Titanic visibly depicts the altering disposition of women’s place in American society during the 1910’s and how their roles in society should transform.…

    At one point I wish I were in the ship, at some point, no .One may think this sinking is a reality. In the vastness of the ocean it is easy to lose hope.

The ship creaks dangerously as waves thrust forward in great amounts of power, allowing small glimpses of the cliffs just up ahead. You could almost hear the song of the mermaids as the ship is pulled down into depths of the watery hell.…
