Plunging the Unsinkable: A Titanic Movie Review
Today I decided to search for the heart of the ocean.
The movie Titanic began with a group of men searching for Rose Dewitt Bukater’s (Kate Winslet) blue diamond necklace in the North Atlantic Ocean. They named the diamond Heart of the Ocean, which they claimed to have been looking for for three years. To my surprise, I looked for it and found it in three hours and fourteen minutes. Titanic, a 1997 blockbuster film written and directed by James Cameron, is a film that allows you to find your true heart: a love of feminism, a capture of the status of women in the late 20th century, and a great understanding of how things have gone. away today. This Titanic movie review is a revelation on how a woman’s heart is a deep ocean of colors, vibrantly portrayed in the film.
“The Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams and it was, it really was” Rose was a hundred years old when she re-told her story of the Titanic to people who were looking for treasure in search of the diamond. The film began the flashback when Rose was a 17-year-old first-class woman who rode the Titanic that they called “unsinkable.” She was forced to marry Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane) and described the Titanic as a “slave ship that takes me back to America in chains.” Caledon played as an antagonist in the story who tried to hinder Rose’s love for Jack Dawson (Leonardo Dicaprio), a third-class passenger she met on the ship. Although prevented by Cal and Rose’s mother, they fought for their love until the end of the film. “I will never let Jack go.” She never did. The Titanic collided with an iceberg 50 to 100 feet high and 200 to 400 feet wide, causing water to rush into the ship. This part of the film shows the dilemma of people crying out for their lives and ship marshals who have difficulty keeping order, the rush inside the ship, people intentionally jumping off the ship, a mother singing goodbye to her children, an elderly couple enjoying their last moments together, the captain watching his deck being consumed by the water, the people singing their prayers, the children crying and the people dying – it all seemed so real and contagious that it always got on me. Goosebumps all over the movie and I’m still crying even if I’ve seen it a few times now. Jack and Rose remained in the ocean together after the ship sank. After a couple of waiting times, a boat out of 20 lifeboats returned, but the people floating in the sea like dead fish from a red tide were all frozen in the water. Rose, trying to tell Jack the good news, discovered that Jack was also freezing to death. It was letting go of Jack’s hand so he could call the rescue boat, but he never let go of his love. Old Rose, after finishing her narration, throws the diamond necklace into the sea.
This review focuses on feminism through the Titanic. It was revealed at the beginning of the story that Rose took care of a girl. Strong and independent women who do not depend on the presence of children to live. In the flashback, Rose was the one who noticed that the lifeboats present on the ship were not enough to save the passengers. These twenty ships couldn’t even accommodate half of them. The ship’s owner, upon hearing this, simply ignored the threat and bragged that the ship was unsinkable. Girls are more interested in safety, in the little things that really matter, in being compassionate to people, than boys. Men tend to be arrogant and focus more on business and politics, which was later revealed when first-class gentlemen left their beautiful maids at the table to talk to each other about these matters. This shows a great phenomenon in the late 20th century on how women are seen as wives who honor their husbands and men make money. A scene about how men control women was portrayed when Cal mistreated Rose several times: by discriminating her taste in art, removing the cigar from Rose’s mouth at a meal with other people without asking for their consent, Cal flipping the table in front of Rose. because he was outraged, slapping Rose so hard for asking Jack to draw a portrait for him, even the very fact that Rose was forced to marry him is an obvious portrait of the degradation of women, gender inequality. “You will honor me as it takes a wife to honor her husband.” This hurts me too much, but the part where women and children are given priority in lifeboats is a huge compensation for the unfair treatment of women. The fact that the story was re-told by a woman, and that the main character was a girl who survived the shipwreck without the help of her aristocratic family, was a great recognition of the power of women. But she didn’t take all the credit for herself, “He saved me in all the ways a person can save himself,” belonging to Jack. This was a strong representation of women who owe people for the good they do, and Rose’s loyalty to Jack down to her hundredth shows how loyal girls are. Today, women, at least to a large extent, are respected and treated the same as men: some work for the family, are both father and mother, are heads of companies and even run an entire nation. As Rose throws down her blue diamond necklace, let’s all throw out all the unfair judgment and treatment of women. Women are destined to light the Earth and light up the sky.
In closing, the movie Titanic is truly worthy of being an all-time favorite. All the graphics and sounds and how they really touch the heart, everything was perfect. Considering the fact that the shipwreck actually happened in real life, retelling the story has never been as entertaining and surprising as this movie. Rose is a symbol of female power. I decided to search for the heart of the ocean by watching the movie, I never thought I would find it in just three hours and fourteen minutes. A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of colors: she is a diamond on her own that needs to be guarded, cared for and respected, and such great power is worth having. Have not men thought that the diamond they were looking for was right in front of them? Watch the movie and find the heart yourself.
