Titanic, the blockbuster of late 90’s reveals the mutilated form of social values. Most of the people who plan to watch any movie would, for sure, watch it with just one prime purpose. The purpose is entertainment. Titanic, however, is more than just a piece of entertainment. The film provides a rationale on the social fabric we have been wearing for decades. The film was directed and written by James Cameron and reflected a serious problem we face each passing day. The problem is social stratification and class struggle. CITATION Inn16 \l 1033 (Aniceth, 2016)
If we define social stratification then it is a compound structure which accounts for the disparity between the members of the society on the basis of economy or any other form which delineates the difference between the members. The film provides the evidence of existence of social strata, how it is manifestated and what perils it brings to the community at large.
While watching the film one can witness the problem on several occasions. The most prominent was the difference between rich and poor. CITATION Inn16 \l 1033 (Aniceth, 2016) It is clearly envisioned in the film when a poor was being outcasted on the basis of the his economic status. The film also represents the tragic love story and social class plays villain in that role as well. For it is the social class which decides who should you love and who you shouldn’t. CITATION Inn16 \l 1033 (Aniceth, 2016) Moreover, the film also exhibits that how economically rich class of capitalist exploit the poor class and throw them out of their social circles.
Sinking of ship also depicts the class difference between rich and poor, as only rich class was provided with live jackets to survive the accidents and the poor class was ignored. Life is the right everyone is inherited with by birth. The film depicts the social stratification strips people of their right to live even.
If the incident had occurred today, the situation wouldn’t be different because social stratification existed and it still exists. Rich people do not care what poor people are going through would outcast them from their social circle. They would strip them of their basic right to live and woul exploit them to maintain their class.
