Movie Analysis : ' Titanic '

For example, in Paper 1, I discussed how the police were used to illustrate the detective. It seems that The Long Goodbye presents a story about “love and loss,” but in fact, what Chandler tries to depict is the friendships between Detective Marlowe and the mysterious Terry Lennox. In other words, the story is not about love, but about masculinity. For example, Plain points out that even Roger Wade shows his masculinity by “drinking himself into an easily killable stupor” after he feels disappointed and is “refusing to complete a debased cultural product” (p. 81). The main theme of masculinity thus forms the female characters in the novel. The female characters could also be regarded as significant elements for building the traits of the detective and/or the novel, and to differentiate the masculinity that Chandler wishes to illustrate in the

The men stereotyped Rose-Johnny for the way she is and created a bad image of her without them knowing her actual personality. We can also take in for account the setting of the main characters, a traditional small town where Rose-Johnny has been stereotyped into something she

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

The White Star Line was owner of the Titanic, which was the largest and most luxurious ship in the world at the time. On April 10th, 1912, the Titanic left from Southampton, England with 2,227 passengers aboard bound for New York City. On April 14th, the ship struck an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland and sank about 2 ½ hours later. Passengers, mostly women and children, were loaded into lifeboats, however only 705 passengers survived as many lifeboats left partially full.

To analyze the impact of women in the picture, one must examine Philip Marlowe, the hero and epitome of masculinity. Throughout the novel, Marlowe displays the admirable qualities of a man: intelligence, strength and justice. Additionally, Marlowe’s role as the hero of the film creates an example to which all men should strive. He represents the goals and desires of men, and as such his behavior helps define the position of women. Women constantly throw themselves at Marlowe, allowing him to pick from a fairly wide selection. His choice of Vivian holds considerable weight in determining the traits that make a woman popular. Marlowe’s interactions with all women help reveal the complexities of 1940s feminine attraction.

Interpersonal communication plays a major role in everyone’s daily life. Because it is so important, theorists have developed two views about how to determine whether a transaction is interpersonal or not. We will be looking at the situational and the developmental view by applying it to a scene from a movie in order to determine which one is a better indicator. The particular scene that will be discussed is a scene from James Cameron’s Titanic. The scene takes place the day after Jack sees Rose hanging off the edge of the ship while she debates whether she should jump or not. Jack convinces her not to jump, and she agrees. But, her foot slips and Jack saves

There is a fine distinction in the fabric of DNA that separates men and women- one has the opportunity to give life and one does not. Although beneath skin and flesh is the foundation of a body, the bones. What every human being also shares with each other is the ability to cast emotions. However throughout history, men have been brought up to be seen as if they have little to no feelings at all and women are to be too emotional. Everyone has the potential to feel pain at some point in their lives. Objectification is the central concept dear to feminist thinkers. Many think that objectification is something that remains in history, but it continues to be a problem in modern society. F. Scott Fitzgerald applies this to the characters in his book: The Great Gatsby. The underlying theme of the podcast: Relationship Radio dealt with the objectification of human beings. Aidan Buckner, Olivia Lujan, and Penelope Tucker’s three podcasts: You Can Buy Me Love, Daisy, Money and Usage, and Puppy Love tie the notion of objectification through the relationships: Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, Tom and Daisy Buchanan, George and Myrtle Wilson, and Tom and Myrtle Wilson through the book The Great Gatsby.

The movie Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was a fictional story based on the true ship, Titanic. Cameron's movie was based on a love story; however, the focus of this paper will be on some of the differences between the two classes aboard the Titanic. This movie clearly portrayed how differently the first and second-class people were treated during the time of the Titanic. This can be related to many other times in American history when groups were segregated as well.

James Cameron’s renowned film Titanic is more than just a love story, and more than a mere portrayal of the tragic sinking of the unsinkable ship; it is a representation of the socioeconomic disparities between the haves and the have-nots during the early 1900s. As explained by Levinson (2012), Edwardian-era society was based on a social hierarchy dictated by wealth and social class; specifically, “the Titanic 's passengers were divided into three classes, determined not only by the price of their ticket, but by their wealth and social position” (150). This socioeconomic class division is evident through the film’s plot in which Jack Dawson, a jobless, lower-class American who wins his way onto the RMS Titanic, shares an inter-socioeconomic class relationship with upper-class Rose DeWitt Bukater. This storyline allows for overlaps between the first- and third-class, and ultimately depicts the ideology of “Outsiders versus Insiders” (LCR). Outlined in the Left-Center-Right Model for identifying ideologies, “Outsiders versus Insiders” is an ideology where a left-wing view identifies with the “poor and disenfranchised,” also know as the “Outsiders,” and the right-winged view identifies with the “Establishment” and “people in power,” or the “Insiders” (LCR). Titanic represents the outsider-oriented perspective on social class through the difference between first- and third-class environments, the neglect given towards the third class,

The Hollywood representation of the tragedy surrounding the ship: Titanic, uses stereotypes to depict a love story between Jack and Rose who are fictional characters. In the first clip we see two very different class of people arriving to board the ship. These class differences are show by the clothes that they wear such as the large flowery hats worn by Rose and her mother, the bowler hats on the upper-class gentlemen and the flat caps worn by the young working-class men, in their plain jackets and slacks. The way each class is treated by the ship's staff is also highlighted when the working-class passengers are inspected before boarding and are de-loused, in contrast the upper-class passengers are waited on and have staff at their disposal

On April 14,1912 a great ship called the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. That night there were many warnings of icebergs from other ships. There seems to be a conflict on whether or not the warnings reached the bridge. We may never know the answer to this question. The greatest tragedy of all may be that there were not

Aside from the strict views on race and religion, there was also a particular depiction of women at the time. They were

Sexual fantasy facilitates literary representations of complex emotions. Heightened sexuality allows for heightened sensations. We can sense Jock’s excitement within his tone as well as the appreciation of his fantasies and his attention to detail. It is in chapter six where Jock acknowledges this; “I ought to be a film director. I can imagine exactly what I want”. Jock has cinematically presented a scenario where every detail from the buttons on Janine’s shirt to the way her hair hangs, are all catered to the male fantasy. Jock’s sexual narrative facilitates this insight to male fantasy.

The Titanic movie begins with a salvage crew looking throughout the debris of the huge ship, in the hope to find a blue shiny diamond that is called “the heart of the ocean”. They instead find a photograph of a young lady wearing the diamond around her neck. That lady was Rose Dawson; while she was watching Tv, she sees her photograph and sets off to find the man who found it, then she joins them on their ship and the story of the Titanic ship begin. The story starts talking about two fictional characters, Rose and Jack, and their brief love affair aboard the ill-fated ship. Rose is an upper-class woman born into high society; Jack is an aimless drifter of much lesser means. While their love story, and the ship's sinking, are the main plot, this film depicts the glaring differences between the social classes both in how they live and how they are treated. The author mentioned that the Titanic displays in a dominated ideology since it is not focused on one audience but, it concerns about many audiences, which includes lower, middle and upper classes. Basically, the movie shows how the lower class struggle against with upper class and love overcome everything eventually. Even though this movie is a love and romantic story, the presentation of racial discrimination, and race throughout the movie. In this movie, I will argue two sociological themes. Social satisfaction and race play a big role in the movie Titanic. The Titanic movie demonstrates the ideology of race and class.

Within this context, the director made use of flashback technique to unearth the romantic story of the lovers in the film. To be specific, the plot moves from present condition (say, 1996) to past (say, 1912) and to present (1996). In the opening scene, the director portrays the effort of Brock Lovett (say, a treasure hunter) to unearth the secret behind a necklace sunk with RMS Titanic in 1912. Gradually, the director portrays the love affair between Rose and Jack. In the end, Rose drops the necklace into the Ocean and returns. The film ends with a fictional reunion between the lovers.
