In the Mood for Some Romance? Are you thinking about watching the film Titanic, but are worried it is just a boring reenactment of the sinking of the Titanic? Let me put your worries to rest by telling you this movie is an invigorating, heart wrenching, and thrilling film that will surely go down in history as a classic. If you find romance to be revolting this is certainly not the film for you. Each moment the main characters spend together is filled with passion, and the excitement of finding new love. Titanic has all the redeeming qualities a film needs to be labeled as a great movie. Though this movie is a hefty 195 minutes it is well worth it. Titanic is a superior film in the areas of acting, scenery, and story line though it is a bit long. The astonishing acting is enough to label this film as one of the best romantic dramas out there. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who portray the two main characters, act so passionately towards each other it is hard to believe they are not real life lovers. It was not the cheesy kind of love that is often found in other romantic dramas such as The Last Song, where Miley Cyrus had me convinced she was not capable of love. Not only were they outstanding at acting in love, they displayed a plethora of different emotions. When the characters found out the Titanic was indubitably going to sink, I could see the fear in their eyes. When Leonardo’s character was framed to look like a thief I could hear the betrayal Kate’s character felt in the way she spoke. I knew what the characters where thinking without them saying anything, because of the way the actors carried themselves. These two actors gave a the performance of lifetime which is an attribute that really raised this movie above your average film. In the same way the acting made Titanic an exceptional film, the breathtaking scenery lifted this film to another level. The scenery was not only

    The princess Bride does have a few weak moments, and lacks development of its characters and their personal storylines as well as poor dialogue choices at times. But overall this a great love story with some moments worthy of an action/adventure. The Medieval setting does support the plot and the characters in many ways such as speech and personalities. This is a film for all ages, and anyone interested in more traditional love…

    The director made this movie was to catch the viewer’s eye with a true story. It was very interesting to watch because of all of the parenphena going on through out the movie. The director produced this in a way of everything being very precise but at the same time giving it a Hollywood twist. All of the lighting, soundtrack and imagery are on spot and having Leonardo play the role of Mr. Belfort was excellent casting. It felt as though the movie had more than one climax as it as so exciting.…

    The Titanic is never an easy topic for me to discuss or write about. Every time I think of that fateful night I feel depressed and my head fills with faces of all the men, women, and children whose lives were taken from them all too soon. It makes me wonder how different our world today would be if the Captain, Edward Smith, had heeded the warnings of the ice field. It was said that when the Titanic is finished man will have surpassed God. Perhaps the sinking of the ship was God’s way of humbling us? Or was this merely a result of an incompetent Captain who put his pride before the safety of his passengers? “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.” –Proverbs 16:18 KJV…

    The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy that had an impact for the entire world. To this day, everyone is familiar with the event. It’s no wonder why mention of the ship would incite a certain dread in the hearts of those who lay their eyes on it. The title, “Titanic” (391), however, is a mere decoy. It’s a tool used to set up the ironic tone of the poem. This is made clear through the rather blunt first line, “Who does not love the Titanic?” The word “love” is a rather explicit word used to describe the world’s reaction toward the vessel for years to come. While the initial set up seems to be satirical, this isn’t the speaker’s true intention. The poem references something other than fear or loss; it describes everyone’s desire to be remembered.…

    The cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh did a fantastic job at the quality of shots and lighting which really enhanced the scenery around the characters, for example when Walter is long boarding down the long and windy road the scene is filled with bird eye view shots, medium shots, and low angles that really shows the beauty in nature and is able to grab your attention for the moment. Other than the beautiful visuals the film has a great soundtrack that blends very nicely with the entirety of the…

    Fredrick Fleet was the workman on guard on the Titanic on April 14. Fleet, had warned the personnel on the ship’s control deck to look out for icebergs that night, yet nobody was at the control panel that fateful night (McPherson 6). The Titanic was thought to be unsinkable when it was built in 1911. “More than 2,200 people were now aboard the Titanic including 1,300 passengers” (Senan 16). The location the Titanic deported from was Great Britain and it was headed to New York. After three long days of sailing on the North Atlantic, they stopped in Ireland. A few days later, the ship crashed into an iceberg that had made it’s way into North Atlantic from Greenland (Fahey 4). Many people went back to their rooms to get their valuables from down below (Lord 60). Most historians say that they don’t know the exact number of passengers that were on the Titanic because, there was no accurate list of them. The Titanic was a major disaster but could have been prevented if workers were at their stations.…

    A major shift in our innovative world occurred during the beginning of the 20th century. Inventions that rule our era today were first brought upon in the early 1900s. One of the most notorious of these inventions was the steamboat. During this time there was a big transition from sailboat to steamboat. A significant change as to how naval vessels were built and operated took place, which sometimes resulted in conducting problems leading to tragedies.

    One of the most romantic and at the same time disastrous movie in the history is Titanic. The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, is a fictional story which took place in 1912. Cameron's movie is based on a love story and on the true ship, Titanic. It tells the tale of the ship that sailed across the Atlantic. This movie clearly portrays how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. The backdrop of the Titanic is real, but the main plot is fictional. Titanic is a remarkable film filled with excitement and romance. 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 young woman raised by a wealthy aristocratic family named Rose, who came to America to get married after her father died. The story is told as a flashback by this same woman, now elderly, in the present day. The roles of these main actors are played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The two youths fall in love in each other and secretly spend time together. Their love is stronger than death, even though the death is the reason of their separation. The tragic ending of the movie consists in losing each other because of the sinking of Titanic. Jack saves Rose’s life by putting her on the wooden board, while he himself dies in the cold waters of the ocean. Just as Titanic is known for its…

    In the year 1912, the tragedy of the “Unsinkable” R.M.S (Royal Mail Steamer) Titanic occurred, but why? According to www.historyonthenet.com, there are many possibilities why the Titanic has an early grave, 12,500 feet under water, resting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Historians have argued over the possibilities ever since the incident had occurred. They believe the Titanic sank because of human error. Three of the many human errors that occurred on April 14,1912, are first of all Captain Smith. Second,the seaman. And third, Captain Lord.…
