The film also depicts how second and first class individuals were treated differently. The romantic story ultimately ends in a tragic way. The ship is stuck as any beached whale. …show more content…
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. However the director comes up with computer simulation, looking so realistic. 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. In fact the ship splits into two, sinks and water is seen rushing in. Bodies are seen dropping from top to down, like maize in a milling machine. At this point in the film, the audience can see so well, how water penetrates the ship destroying it when it hits the ice burg. The expanse of blue water is stretched in every direction to the horizon. One drifts on an ocean with no wisp of land in sight. Below them it must be fathoms deep. They are at the mercy of the wind and the rolling waves. They are lost on an ocean with no way to propel themselves unless they enter the water and kicked, but in which

    The Abyss (1910), is a movie ahead of its time. Not only due to the erotic dance scene resembling a modern striptease, but also its plot form, which is very similar to a modern Romantic-drama: Two men fighting over one woman—one a gentleman and the other an abusive cheater. The women ends up wanting the bad boy, because although the gentleman treats her better, he’s not the one she really loves. This is one of the first movies I’ve seen from this time with such a complex story within the plot.…

    The details in the novel not introduced in the film affect the viewer's understanding of the harsh obstacles the men have to overcome while on the life rafts.

The storm has the men fearing for their lives as they are heaved into the air, just to be embraced by the churning water below.…

    Gender is one of the most important parts when talking about social identity in twentieth-century Britain. When watching British war films depicted in these times it is hard to get away from noticing the different roles set upon the genders. When speaking on gender we must take into account the idea that we are talking about, “the meanings that society has made, in political, economic and cultural terms, of masculinity and femininity.” (Brooke 44) The main idea society had made was that men are the ones who are in the battle fighting for their country doing the hard work as ‘breadwinners’ and women being the ones who, “give men hope and something worth fighting for”(Summerfield 346).…

    One of the experiences that stuck out the most to me was the passage where it talks about the bodies in the water. “There was never such a sight. Men, women, babies, all floating along with the tide. Hundreds of bodies, going bump-bump, hitting the boat.” It is disturbing, and what makes it worse is the fact that’s it true.…

    The movement starts with a very mysterious tone with the instruments playing ascending and descending conjunct scales very quickly. Additionally, the instruments gradually layer on top of one another and then return to a single instrument over and over again to audibly depict the rising and falling of the waves. This layering and very strong sound can correlate to the sharp dark blue color of the waves in the woodblock print As the piece continues, the mood changes back and forth between mysterious, pleasant, and franticly distressed, which are different emotions that one can experience while at sea. These shifts in mood are sudden and random, just as the weather at sea often rapidly changes and causes those on ships, perhaps the ships in the woodblock artwork, to quickly change their attitudes towards being at sea. Around two minutes and ten seconds, higher pitched instrument take over and evoke a very airy feel that can be related to the wind swirling around.…
