 BRIEF SUMMARY OF TITANIC

The Titanic was a British

passenger liner that famously
sank on its maiden voyage in
April 1912. It was considered
one of the most luxurious and
technologically advanced ships
of its time. The tragic event
occurred when the Titanic
struck an iceberg in the North
Atlantic, leading to its eventual
sinking. Despite having insufficient lifeboats for all
passengers and crew, resulting in a high loss of life, the
disaster had a profound impact on maritime safety
regulations and sparked widespread changes in ship
construction and safety practices. The sinking of the
Titanic is one of the most well-known maritime disasters
in history and has been the subject of numerous books,
films, and documentaries.

 TITLE JUSTIFICATION

The title "Titanic" for the movie is justified due to its

historical significance and the central focus on the ill-
fated RMS Titanic. The choice of the title succinctly
captures the essence of the film, emphasizing the
grandeur and tragedy associated with the iconic ship. The
word "Titanic" not only refers to the colossal size and
opulence of the vessel but also symbolizes the hubris and
overconfidence of the era in which it was built.
Additionally, the title creates a sense of inevitability,
foreshadowing the catastrophic events that unfold during
the course of the movie. Overall, the title "Titanic"
effectively encapsulates the grand scale and ultimate
tragedy that define the narrative.

 COMPARISON OF CHARACTERS

1) ROSE DEWITT BUKATER – Rose

Dawson Calvert (née DeWitt
Bukater) is the main protagonist of
James Cameron's 1997 romantic
disaster film Titanic. She is the love
interest of Jack Dawson.
Rose was very pessimistic about her
life due to the first-class life she was
being pulled into by Cal and Ruth.
She had also convinced herself that committing suicide
by jumping off of the ship was the only way to save
herself from her torturous first-class life.She was also
polite (most of the time; there were a few incidents in
which she refused to be polite), mainly because she was
forced to be. She was very intelligent and well-educated.
She was also very passionate.

2) JACK DAWSON - Jack Dawson is the deuteragonist of
James Cameron's 1997 romantic disaster film Titanic. He
is the love interest of Rose DeWitt Bukater. Jack Dawson
was born in Chippewa Falls,
Wisconsin in 1892.It is
unknown who his parents
were, but they died when he
was only 15 years old in
1907, causing him to travel
the world.At some point he
met an Italian man named Fabrizio De Rossi and
travelled with him around the world.
3) RUTH DEWITT BUKATER - Ruth DeWitt Bukater is
portrayed by actress Frances Fisher.
She is the mother of the film's female
protagonist, Rose DeWitt Bukater.
Ruth comes from a wealthy and
privileged background, and she is
determined to maintain and improve
her social status. At the beginning of
the movie, Ruth and her daughter
Rose are traveling aboard the Titanic,
a voyage that Ruth sees as an opportunity to secure their
place in high society.

4) CALEDON HOCKLEY - Cal Hockley, portrayed by actor
Billy Zane, is an upper-class
industrialist and one of the primary
antagonists in the story. He is
engaged to Rose DeWitt Bukater, the
film's female protagonist, as part of a
strategic alliance to preserve and
enhance his family's wealth and
social standing.Cal represents the
aristocratic elite of the early 20th
century. He is depicted as wealthy, arrogant, and
possessive.

as the Chief Officer on the Titanic,
responsible for overseeing various
aspects of the ship's navigation and
safety protocols. He is depicted as a

waters.During the critical moments leading up to the
Titanic's collision with the iceberg, Officer Murdoch is

businessman traveling in first
class. In the film, he is shown as a
calm and composed individual
who carries himself with a sense of
aristocracy. Guggenheim is

Titanic. The film shows Captain Smith
to be a weak and pliable man, bending
to the whims of J. Bruce Ismay, who
wants the ship to reach New York a day
ahead of schedule in order to make
headlines. Smith speeds up the ship
and casually ignores iceberg warnings,
and is absent when the ship actually
strikes the iceberg. Smith realizes that he and many

hand man, adding tension and
conflict to the storyline,
especially in the interactions involving Jack and
Rose.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT MOVIE TITANIC
1)Romantic Storyline: At its core, "Titanic" is a love story
between Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. The
chemistry between the characters portrayed by Leonardo
DiCaprio and Kate Winslet resonated with audiences, making
the film's romantic narrative a key attraction.

2)Historical Accuracy and Detail: James Cameron and his

team put a significant effort into recreating the details of the
Titanic's design and the time period. The film's depiction of
the ill-fated maiden voyage, as well as the attention to
historical accuracy, impressed many viewers.

3)Cinematic Spectacle: "Titanic" was praised for its

groundbreaking special effects and cinematography. The
scenes involving the sinking of the ship were particularly
noteworthy for their realism and intensity. The film's use of
practical effects and visual storytelling contributed to its
cinematic impact.

4)Musical Score: James Horner's musical score for "Titanic"

is iconic. The soundtrack, especially the song "My Heart Will
-15-
Go On" performed by Celine Dion, became immensely popular
and won several awards, including the Academy Award for
Best Original Song.

5)Emotional Impact: The film successfully elicits a range of

emotions from viewers, including love, heartbreak, and
empathy. The tragic nature of the Titanic's sinking and the
personal stories of the characters make it a compelling and
emotionally resonant experience for many.

6)Epic Scale: "Titanic" is known for its epic scale, both in

terms of its production and storytelling. The grand sets,
elaborate costumes, and the sheer magnitude of the disaster
portrayed on screen contribute to the film's epic feel.

-16-
WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT MOVIE TITANIC
1)Cliched Plot Elements: Some viewers find the plot to be
formulaic or clichéd, particularly in its portrayal of a love story
between characters from different social classes. The rich-girl,
poor-boy romance has been a recurring theme in storytelling,
and some critics feel that "Titanic" doesn't bring much
innovation to this narrative.

2)Length: The film has a runtime of over three hours, which

some viewers find excessive. The pacing of the movie,
especially in the first half, has been criticized for being slow by
some audiences who prefer shorter films.

3)Dialogue: While the film has received praise for its overall
storytelling, some critics argue that the dialogue, particularly
certain lines, can be considered melodramatic or overly
sentimental.

4)Character Stereotypes: Some viewers feel that certain

characters are portrayed in a stereotypical manner, adhering
to traditional archetypes without much depth or complexity.

MOVIE TITANIC FROM JAMES
CAMERON’S OBJECTIVE OF MAKING OF

in mind when making the film: to create a visually stunning
and emotionally powerful epic that would immerse audiences

weaknesses of the movie involves considering how well
Cameron achieved these goals. Here's an analysis drawing on
relevant evidence:

 Visual Spectacle and Cinematography

 Emotional Impact

 CONNECTION OF MOVIE “TITANIC”
WITH THE CHAPTER
“WE’RE NOT AFRAID TO DIE…IF WE CAN
ALL BE TOGETHER”

The chapter titled "We're Not Afraid to

Die...If We Can All Be Together" is the
story of the author Gordon Cook and his wife Maryanne's
journey around the world on their boat, the Marie Celeste.
The chapter recounts their harrowing experiences, including
facing a severe storm in the Indian Ocean.
While there may not be a direct connection between the
chapter and the movie "Titanic" in terms of narrative or
characters, there are thematic parallels between both movie
and chapter which are:

-20-
Survival and Peril at Sea: Both the chapter and the movie
involve perilous journeys at sea. In "Titanic," the peril comes
from the iceberg collision, while in "We're Not Afraid to Die,"
it's a violent storm in the Indian Ocean. Both stories explore
the challenges and dangers of navigating vast expanses of
water.

Human Resilience in the Face of Disaster: Both narratives

highlight the strength and resilience of the human spirit when
faced with life-threatening situations. The characters in
"Titanic" and the Cooks in "We're Not Afraid to Die" display
courage and determination in the face of disaster.

Themes of Love and Togetherness: "Titanic" is renowned

for its central love story between Jack and Rose. In "We're Not
Afraid to Die," the Cooks' journey is a testament to their love
and commitment to each other. Both stories explore the
theme of love and togetherness in the face of adversity.

Man vs. Nature : Both narratives involve a struggle against

powerful natural forces. In "Titanic," it's the unforgiving cold
of the Atlantic Ocean, and in "We're Not Afraid to Die," it's
the turbulent seas during the storm. Both stories explore the
vulnerability of humans in the face of nature's forces.
