FILM ANALYSIS
Theme: as the dramatic story support One key theme associated with the film Titanic is
that Love is everlasting. The sinking of the Titanic worting the overall theme of the film.
Conflict:
Rose and Jack square off with Cal, Lovejoy, and the sinking ship.
Resolution:
James Cameron's "Titanic" is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated
maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the
time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era --
the "ship of dreams" -- which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the
ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.
because the titanic is the source why jack and rose became lovers
Identify symbolisms in the film and discuss their relevance to the story:
Heart of the Ocean (symbol) The Heart of the Ocean is a symbol of Rose's heart and
her love for Jack, as conveyed by her line, "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of
secrets." For Rose, the diamond's value is not determined by its magnificent size, but
rather by the context and meaning it holds for her as a memento of her time with Jack.
This is why Rose decides to drop the jewel back into the North Atlantic, rather than turn
it over to treasure hunters. By doing so, she symbolically reunites with Jack, and
dreams that night that she is back with him aboard the Titanic. Titanic (symbol) The
Titanic, as a spectacular feat of shipbuilding, is a symbol of human pride and modernity.
The ship holds special appeal for the film's male characters, such a J. Bruce Ismay and
Cal Hockley, who are obsessed with its sheer size and luxurious amenities. By fixating
arrogantly on the feat of the ship's construction, the men ignore its fallibility, and
discount the possibility that it could ever be sunk. The ship means different things for
different people—for Rose, for instance, it is a "slave ship, taking [her] back to America
in chains." For Jack, it is a portal to a new and exciting world. All of its passengers are
eventually faced with the consequences of the ship's collision with an iceberg, which is
the result of the arrogant overconfidence of the leadership of the White Star Line
The film ends with a sense of closure and resolution as Rose, now an elderly woman,
peacefully drifts into eternal sleep. The final shot of the film shows the camera panning
over a collection of photographs and mementos in Rose's cabin, highlighting the rich life
she lived in fulfillment of her promise to Jack
The sinking of the Titanic also serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers of
overconfidence. The Titanic was considered unsinkable at the time of its maiden
voyage, but the disaster demonstrated the dangers of overconfidence and the
importance of being prepared for the worst-case scenario.
for me titanic is related to our subject ethics because this movie is explain about love
and before and the future just like ethics we study about the past and the future thats
why i relate the film/titanic to our ethics subject
