TITANIC

The Titanic is the greatest ocean liner, famous for its tragic death during the First sailing on the 15th of April 1912. She was the biggest vessel at the time.

Comparison of the Titanic with other means of transport and people.

The Titanic was considered to be unsinkable. On Monday, at 12:30 AM, in the middle of the night, she struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic near Canada and sank. . . In less than 3 hours the dreams and confidence of the whole generation sank with her.

The Titanic is significant not only for the fact that she was the largest ocean liner at the time or that she sank. The story of the Titanic is the stories of bravery, actions of people that capture our imaginations. It is the narrative of every person who was on board. We are who we are because of the examples and lessons we learned from that tragedy.

Thanks to wireless, 745 passengers were saved but 1595 persons died in this tragedy, among them some of the most prominent persons in the world. 

But the Titanic is not only a great ocean liner . It is also a disaster film, directed, written and co-produced by James Cameron about the sinking of the Titanic.

Cameron used a love story as a means to engage the audience with the real-life tragedy. The film features Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, and Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, 2 members of different social classs who fell in love.

An artist who travels around the world. Jack wins the tickets to the Titanic in a card game. He is attracted to the Rose’s beauty and convinces her of an attempted suicide. This heroic act let him to mix with the first-class passengers. He in turn shows her a way of life she had dreamed but never had the courage to experience.

Seventeen-year-old girl who is forced to become engaged to a rich man so she and her mother can maintain their high status after the death of her father. Rose becomes suicidal, but she soon discovers a completely new lease on life when she meets Jack Dawson.

When the Titanic sank Jack and Rose managed to find a carved oak panel which could only support the weight of one person. Jack died of hypothemia while Rose was rescued when Fifth Officer Harold Lowe returned with empty Lifeboat.

Critical reaction to the film I found myself convinced by both the story and the saga Movies like this are almost impossible to make well Titanic is a kind of epic picture event that has become a rarity You don’t just watch Titanic you experience it
