Summary
Titanic is a flawlessly crafted film that includes both a dramatic lavishing romance and the historical story of the sinking of the Titanic. It stars both the elegant star, Kate Winslet and the gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio in a fictional romance that begins between a rich girl and a poor boy who meet on the voyage of the “unsinkable ship”, Titanic. It is narrated by an old woman known as Rose who claims to be a survivor of the Titanic and tells her experience on the Titanic to a group of treasure hunters, who are in search of a rare diamond in the Titanic's remains. She tells about her unexpected encounter with a young, unwealthy artist named Jack Dawson who she falls madly in love with. This causes much drama for Rose and her family though because she had an arranged marriage to a conceited man named Cal. Jack sees the true Rose hidden behind the upper class snob. The two fall madly in love and plan to stay happily together. They never imagined such a devastating misfortune to happen on this indestructible ship and how it would change their lives forever.
“Nothing on Earth Can Come Between Them...”

    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 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.”…
