Love. A powerful entity that can control all of us. It has the power to sweep us away from reality leading us into its blinding spell. While love can be seen as evil, it also can be seen as one of the most paramount things in life. This is one of the main themes, along with that of arrogance, in the Oscar nominated movie “Titanic”, a love story about a young man and woman. Their love is shown throughout the depths of this movie through dialogue, camera angles, by the use of music, and how you can distinguish the character development in Rose.
To begin, “Titanic” is a movie about the emerging yet proscribed love of young Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Kate Winslet, who is of the upper class, and young Jack Dawson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who is a poor yet witty artist. The movie starts off with an older Rose retelling her story and her memories as the camera shows the dilapidated sunken Titanic. The camera then revolves around the ship as the scene flashbacks and reveals its juvenile, prestigious self. Set in 1912, the movie first introduces young, sophisticated Rose getting out of a lavish car revealing her beauty hidden behind her sizable yet glamorous hat. Meanwhile, at what it looks like to be a bar, the youthful and lively Jack Dawson is seen playing a winning game of poker where he takes possession of tickets to board the Titanic. Considering that Rose and Jack are from different worlds, you would never think their paths would intertwine with each other. The first
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

Titanic portrayed sexuality with attraction between a man and a woman. Rose was a beautiful woman whom her fiancée Hockley was the son of a rich and powerful steel mill owner. However, the sexual interest here was actually in the form of business. Rose was marrying him because of the money Hockley would inherit when his father died, a very prominent practice during that time. Men with power and money were shown to be desirable from all of Rose 's companions on the ship. This common theme of sexuality was broken from Jack 's introduction into Rose 's life. Jack was a polar opposite of Hockley, and he took on a different theme of sexuality of being free, seeing a woman as an equal, and not being rich. Jack ' sexuality was expressed in may forms different from Hockley. When he saved Rose from falling overboard, in his folk-style dancing with Rose, and in his chase of Rose which included kissing and having sex with her. Jack’s simple flirtation with Rose and his later aid in her freedom from the gender binds she was in became the cornerstone of the theme of the movie.
