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.…
He created a grand staircase on the ship while in reality this staircase was so small passengers had to go up and down single file. A Pablo Picasso painting is featured in the film, although Picasso was not popular during the time of the Titanic, and his work was not widely distributed. The diamond necklace in the film, titled “The Heart of the Ocean,” never existed, much like the love story between invented passengers Rose Bukater and James Dawson. These creations served Cameron’s purpose to paint a theatrical telling of the event, but the movie was just…

Shemesh and Bechtel present two differing opinions on the Rape of Dinah.…
When is the last time you saw a little boy playing dolls or dress-up with his sisters? What about by himself? When is the last time you saw a little girl playing with Legos™ or monster trucks? Many of you are probably thinking, “Well, never.” But why should that be the case? Have you simply accepted that dolls are for girls and monster trucks are for boys?…

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.…
In this report I am going to talk about a great ship, the R.M.S. Titanic. The R.M.S. Titanic was a passenger ship that struck an iceberg on her first and last voyage. I am going to tell you how it was constructed, how the voyage went, how and why did it sunk, how another ship rescued the survivors, and how and when scientists found the wreckage. It is a very interesting topic because it happened so fast and I want to know how it happened.…

The film was still the same. The story is about a young man name Jack Dawson a poor free spirited man who met Rose DeWitt Bukater a high status lady on their way to America on the grand Titanic ship. The story revolves around the clash of status and obstacles for the couple to spark their love. However, toward the end, the told to be unsinkable ship crashed through an iceberg and which caused great collision. Many passengers did not survived, some drowned in the ship itself. As it sinks, Jack and Rose ride the stern into the ocean. Jack helps Rose onto a wall panel only able to support one person's weight. Holding the panel's edge, he assures her she will die an old woman, warm in her bed. Meanwhile, Fifth Officer Harold Lowe has commandeered a lifeboat to search for survivors.

In the movie Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronosk, the storyline is about a timid ballet dancer in her progress in a demanding environment of professional ballet. Throughout the film, Nina (the main character) shows countless ways of sacrificing one’s self for the positive progression of her performance. There are various times where Nina gets in touch with herself in a way to become a more efficient ballet dancer, and performer. Nina’s ballet director has a huge impact on her, influencing her ways. He mentions how she needs to get in touch with her bad side, considering Nina’s personality is much like a the white swan being timid, innocent, and pure. There are multiple references connected to trauma based mind control which links to this different alternative person in Nina’s mind. In a way Nina is the white swan, while in the play she also plays the black swan being the bad side as well. Nina’s develops both sides of the white and black swan personality traits. Nina’s sense of reality and fictions beings to become foggy. Losing herself in a sense of insanity in her own mind. Nina’s mother is also another link to Nina’s personality. I believe the overbearingness of her mother plays a major role in Nina’s life. I felt like the director meant to give the audience a sense that Nina’s hostile environment is also another factor. Nina’s mother was an ex ballet dancer, and only wants Nina to be successful. She inflicts her dreams on her daughter. I feel there was nothing really positive that Nina gained through her road to success of being a ballet star as black swan. Nina’s life is consumed with nothing but ballet and quickly develops an unhealthy obsession with the role. Basically I got impression that Nina was a Schizophrenic. She was hallucinating, and seeing things in herself, people, and everything around her. She seemed to be paranoid about everything, and she barely had any trust in not only herself, her peers, and her mother especially.…
