The Ship of Dreams
Titanic is a remarkable film filled with excitement and romance. It is one of the best movies I've seen yet. It tells the tale of a ship that sailed across the Atlantic; the Titanic. The Titanic was supposedly unsinkable; yet, when it hit an iceberg, it tragically sank, destroying thousands of innocent lives. Two people, out of thousands on the ship, are the most remarkable; a poor man named Jack, who won his ticket in a card game, and a rich woman named Rose, who came to America to get married after her father died and left them penniless. Jack and Rose meet and defy odds by falling in love. They have to be careful not to show it because the rich and the poor aren't supposed to mingle. An older Rose, now 64, tells her story to a crew of divers who study the Titanic. They are looking for the jewel her fiancée, who wasn't Jack, gave her. Titanic is an epic movie with its heartbreaking plot, outstanding special effects, and distinguishable music.

It's amazing how well the director combines an actual historical event with a tragic love story that audiences would love. It is historically accurate and teaches people about the tragic sinking of an actual ship. People can actually learn about the history of the so-called unsinkable ship while watching the movie. There are characters in the movie that actually where on the boat in real life. The captain going down with his ship, the architect of Titanic not trying to save himself, and the band on Titanic that kept on playing were all real people on the actual ship. When a viewer watches this movie, they will have a very hard time not crying. Jack and Rose capture everyone's hearts as they travel on the doomed ship. The scene where they meet is when Jack talks Rose out of jumping off the back off the ship. She is sad with her life and fed up with all the stuck up rich people. Viewers can tell right away that they will fall in love eventually. Their love story is frowned upon by both the rich and poor yet their true love

    Usually, movies like this would end like the boy gets the girl. That even the girl did not want a serious relationship or did not believe in love at first, in the end it will all change and they’ll live happily ever after. Instead they showed how people or rather the guy struggle to go through his life after his dream girl dumped him. I think that’s their unique selling point. Showing the realness, the real struggle and the choices we make in life. Either give in with the pain or let go and move on. Which is too embarrassing for anyone to share, but this film will make people realize that they’re not alone and that it is normal.…

    Everyone felt the cold breeze on their face, their eyelashes; frozen. Their hair is iced in place and everyone is surrounded by freezing cold water. No one can feel their body, it has only been ten minutes but people around Rose are already dying. The movie, Titanic, is based on historical stories 50 years prior. White Star Line, the contractors for the creation of the Titanic, and many others, believed that the ship was unsinkable. Therefore, no one would get on the lifeboats. Although, today's forensic science proves many flaws that the ship held. The Titanic is the most influential American film because it illustrates a profound look into history, uses engineering to recreate the historical event, and demonstrates how to live life.…

    “Titanic” is written in blank verse and uses a more casual diction. This helps identify with more people in today’s society, to whom the speaker is trying to identify with. His ideals are brought into light with the second stanza which mentions the fact that not only is it the fate of everyone to die; many have to do it alone. The idea is frightening for anyone; however, the speaker seems to take comfort by imagining the atmosphere of the ship before its final moments. By mentioning the “crowds of people, friends, servants...” (5-6), the speaker drives in the point that being able to spend your last days on earth in such fanfare is something worth romanticizing for. The exclamatory “Ah!”(6), further brings the speaker’s desire to focus.…

    In the first stanza, the writer describes the titanic as a symbol of socialization and freedom and is now “in a solitude of the sea.” The ship is “deep from human vanity, and the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she,” (1-3). The very vanity that created the ship was the same vanity that eventually sank it. The captain of the ship, Edward John Smith, had a reputation amongst his passengers and crew for his leadership. Smith often boasted about his reputation of safe and smooth sailing at sea. But his pride as a reputable captain got in his head when he did not order the Titanic to slow down even though the ship had received six warnings of ice ahead the route. It was clear that the Titanic was running into its own demise. Due to his irresponsibility, the Titanic now lays at the bottom of the sea, away from the human vanity that brought the ship down.…

    ‘The Titanic – she sails next week... and unsinkable absolutely unsinkable.’ This quotation also shows dramatic irony as the Titanic sank on her maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg on 14 April 1912. The play is about a family called the Birling family. The opening scene is when the Birling family is having dinner, celebrate Sheila’s and Gerald Croft’s engagement. However, the celebrations are short lived as a police Inspector’s named Goole arrives. He makes enquires about the suicide of Eva Smith. As the play unfolds we find out that everyone in the family was involved in helping to kill Eva Smith. The whole play takes place in the Birling’s family dining room.…

    The most powerful aspect of the film The Titanic is not the love story. It is not the grand staircase, or the luxurious dining room. It is not the interaction between characters, or the extravagant “Heart of the Ocean.” The most powerful aspect of The Titanic is that it actually happened. At the end of the film, there were 1,502 dead bodies sinking and in the freezing salt water of the Atlantic. No “story-truth,” no matter how elaborate, could create a greater tragedy than a “happening-truth.” Why not? Since “story-truths” are not as true as “happening-truths.”…

    The Movie Water

    thI found this movie to be disturbing to watch at some points, but it was mainly sad most of the time. It was one the most powerful movies I have ever seen! In my opinion, I find it horrific for the parents of these widows to even accept the fact of basically giving up their young daughters to men much older than them. I also feel that it was a very cruel lifestyle these widows had lived. Just because their husband had passed away doesn't mean they have to live in such misery for the rest of their lives. Doesn't it seem impossible to believe that some of the things in this movie could have actually happened in real life? and that stuff like this is still going on today? There are widows still living in similar circumstances right now and things in the United States that relate to this situation such as, segregation and slavery. Having to see what these women had gone through all these years, makes us think of how lucky we actually are and how we take the goodness we have for granted. The struggles some of us may have now does not compare to the struggles the women in this video have gone through. It sure made me think twice about things. The symbolism of water in this movie was incredible though. Symbolism of water through out the film was rain and rivers as well as drinking water,to purify the characters and wash away negativities that they had lived through. This movie did help me learn much more about…

    The Open Boat

    "None of them knew the color of the sky." This first sentence in Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" implies the overall relationship between the individual and nature. This sentence also implies the limitations of anyone's perspective. The men in the boat concentrate so much on the danger they are in, that they are oblivious and unaware to everything else; in other words, maybe lacking experience. "The Open Boat" begins with a description of four men aboard a small boat on a rough sea. The central theme of this story is about confronting Nature itself. "The Open Boat" is Stephen Crane's account from an outsider's point of view of the two days spent in a small boat. The correspondent is autobiographical in nature; Stephen Crane was shipwrecked off the coast of Florida while working as a war correspondent. The correspondent in "The Open Boat" portrays the author. Mainly through the correspondent, Crane shows the power of nature and how one man's struggle to survive ultimately depends on fate.…

    "Titanic" Film Assignment

    1. One of the themes for the movie “Titanic” is that love can overcome differences in two people. Jack made his way onto the grand R.M.S. Titanic by luck, winning his ticket in a game of poker. Rose, on the other hand, comes from a rich family that could afford to pay for first class tickets onto the ship. Despite this, and the opposition Rose’s mother has towards the relationship, Jack and Rose fall helplessly in love. Jack is also a carefree guy that lives day by day, taking on what may come. Rose is very stoic and graceful, and she has lived in prosperity her entire life. Another theme is that Trust is one of the deepest commitments you can make. When Jack and Rose are on the forward bow of the ship, Rose says she trusts Jack not to let her go. Also, when Jack is trapped on the bottom floor, handcuffed, he trusts Rose to take an emergency axe to the handcuffs, even though she proved she couldn’t hit accurately. The third theme is that people cannot be molded into something that is against their nature. This is exemplified in Rose, because she has been brought up to be a polite, perfect young woman, but when she meets Jack, he brings out the “flame he loves so much” in her. She defies her family and her fiancé to follow her heart and chooses to go off with Jack.…
