Titanic
Did you know…? Titanic
was the largest passenger steamship in the world when she set off on
her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, on 10 April 1912. Four
days into the trip, on 14 April 1912, she struck an iceberg and sank,
resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest
peacetime maritime disasters in history. Titanic was designed by some of
the most experienced engineers, and used some of the most advanced
technologies available at the time. It was a great shock to many that,
despite the extensive safety features, Titanic sank. The frenzy on the
part of the media about Titanic's famous victims, the legends about the
sinking, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of
the wreck have contributed to the interest in Titanic (movie).
The movies’ plot takes off with the treasure hunter Brock Lovett
(Bill Paxton) who is on mission to the necklace called “lady of the
ocean” but comes across a portriate of a young nude woman (17-year-old
Rose DeWitt Bukater )Kate Winslet. Who actually tells the story of
Titanic when asked about the necklace she is wearing on the picture
found in the deep sea. If you have seen the movie than you would recall
that the movie is based o the two love birds Jack Dawson (Leonardo
DiCaprio) and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), they meet for the
first when Rose considers attempting suicide by jumping off the stern
of the ship. Before she leaps, a drifter and artist named Jack
intervenes and persuades her not to. As he helps her up from the stern,
her dress catches and she falls. Jack grabs Rose's arm and helps her to
pull herself back onto the boat. Cal, his friends and the sailors,
overhearing Rose's screams, believe Jack attempted to rape her. She
explains that Jack saved her life, hiding her suicide attempt by
claiming she slipped while trying to see the propellers. Jack supports
Rose's story, though Hockley's manservant, former Pinkerton agent
Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner), is unconvinced. Jack and Rose develop a
tentative friendship. Their bond deepens when they leave a stuffy
first-class formal dinner of the rapport-building wealthy for a much
livelier gathering in third-class.
The creator of this magnificent story is the master piece maker, who
can it but James Cameron who is lately known for creating the Avatar but
before this modern classic he created never to be forgotten classic; The
Terminator/2, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Strange
Days, True Lie, True Lies and the 2010 latest Sanctum.
In March 2010, Cameron revealed that Titanic will be
re-released in 3D in April 2012, in order to coincide with the 100th
anniversary of the sinking of the actual ship.
