Sinking of Hopes
Titanic is one of the most incredible romantic disaster film based on real-life events. The excellent cinematography, editing and sound effects grasped the audience's attention. It was directed and written by James Cameron and its leading cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It is a love story of two people that have a huge social class difference. The film starts with a team of treasure hunters who were exploring the wreck of Titanic in search of the necklace also known as the Heart of the Ocean. However, they did not find the necklace but instead a painting of a naked woman wearing a necklace. Soon after this scene, an old lady was shown telling the story about Titanic to her granddaughter. This lady was none other than Rose who reminiscences the story of her voyage on Titanic. This ship was considered as the ship of dreams and Rose along with her mother and fiancé who was the son of a famous business tycoon board the ship while on the other side an artist named Jack and his best friend won the ticket to the ship in-game. Rose was distressed as she was forced to marry her fiancé so she tried to commit suicide by trying to jump however jack rescued her and at that moment the sparks began soon after which they both fell in love with each other. She requested Jake to make her nude sketch wearing a blue Necklace that her fiancé gifted her however Cal her fiancé found out about this and had jack locked away. It was during this time when the ship hits an iceberg and began to sink. Rose immediately ran to found Jack so that she could run away with him but the ship was sinking and they both had to struggle for their survival. In the end, Jack again saved Rose and died due to spending too much time in freezing water (Cameron).
James Cameron Titanic is indeed a masterpiece that gave the cinema another dimension. His movie was a mixture of emotions, drama, jealousy, love, adventures, and tragedy all of which tied together beautifully by the excellent editing techniques. The sound effects gave an extra appeal to the film as the sound of water splash could be heard at every moment making the movie more realistic. The technologies and efforts used to make the set identical to the Titanic reflect the director’s skills. Another important feature in the film was the title track which was written by James Horner. Almost 30 million copies of the album were sold. While talking about the production the main task was to build a ship identical to the original Titanic that required lots of money and labor. Even the filming was scheduled to last for 138 days but grew to 160 days. However, all these efforts led to an incredible movie that the viewers will never forget (Maslin).
The best thing about the film that interests me was Cameron’s narrative of shipboard romance. Although the acting of both the main leads was superb yet the excellent cinematography made it look more appealing. Especially during the scene where they both were struggling for their survival the contrast technique and the zoom-in shot of both the characters as well as the extreme long shot of the ocean all combined together to produces scene that will always last in viewers mind as all these factors combined made the audience to emotionally attach with the characters while also viewing the greatest tragedy of all time the sinking of the RMS Titanic. He film was critically acclaimed and won 87 awards.
