Why is Titanic still so classic?

First, the plot is classic

The luxury ship Titanic began her maiden voyage, and dignitaries and ordinary people were proud to participate in the voyage. Ruth, a rich girl, got on the boat with her mother and fiance Carl, and Jack, an unruly young poor painter, got on the boat by gambling on the dock.

Ruth knew from the bottom of her heart that her fiance Carl was a complete snob and didn't want to marry him. Ruth decided to jump into the sea to get rid of the painful future. Jack saved Ruth in do or die, so they met and fell in love at first sight, and then they fell in love deeply.

Just as they were immersed in happiness, disaster came and the Titanic hit an iceberg. Tragedy happened and the luxury ship was in chaos. At a critical juncture, the goodness and ugliness, the nobility and the meanness in human nature are magnified and become more distinct. Another do or die, Jack gave Ruth a chance to survive without hesitation. With Jack's love and trust, Ruth survived strongly until she became a centenarian.

Love, disaster, life and death are the most eye-catching things at any time and on any occasion. Cameron tells a love story of mourning for the world through one of the most famous maritime accidents. With the real shipwreck as the story background and love and life and death as the theme, the story of Titanic is very classic.

Second, love the classics.

If Titanic is a myth, then the love between Jack and Ruth is a myth among myths. The time span between Jack and Ruth from acquaintance and love to life and death is only three days, but their love has become eternal and classic. Do or die will never give up; Disaster arrival, despair ......

After Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Jack and Ruth have become synonymous with a pair of lovers. As an audience, we remembered their names and their love for more than ten years, decades or even longer.

We were moved by their love, because we saw pure things and beautiful things from it. Although the film is a fictional blueprint for love, it satisfies our desire for legendary or romantic experience to a certain extent, which has become accustomed to the dull life. This article originally contained "Elephant Watching the Theater". If you see it anywhere else, you will steal it. Please report it!

Perhaps, you will say, "because of loss, eternity has been achieved." In fact, this is just the appearance. Their love has become a classic because it is pure, because it is beautiful, because it is the best look of love!

Third, the lines are classic.

There are too many classic lines in Titanic movies, some of which contain profound philosophy and are thought-provoking. Some are poetic sweet love words, which sound intoxicating. If you are a student party who studies English hard, watching Titanic and listening to that philosophical or affectionate sentence or line, you won't feel depressed at all, and you won't find those jabbering sentences difficult to understand at all. On the contrary, I feel that no matter from which angle, every classic line shines with charming brilliance.

We might as well review a few golden sentences with charming light and feel the infinite charm of the classics again:

You jump, I jump. You jump, I jump-live and die together. )

We are women. Our choices are never easy. We are women, and our choices are never easy. )

Winning that boat ticket, Ross, was the luckiest thing in my life ... it brought me to you. Winning the boat ticket is the best thing in my life. It brought me to you. )

You have to leave there, you have to move on, you have to have many children, you have to watch them grow up, you have to die in a warm bed, grow old and become an old lady. Not there, not tonight, not like this. You will be saved and you will live. You will have many children, and you will watch them grow up. You will enjoy your old age and rest in a warm bed, not here, not tonight, not like this. )

I will never let go. I'll never let go, Jack. I will never give up, I will never give up! Jack. )

Fourth, the scene is classic.

Titanic reproduces the biggest shipwreck in human history and the whole process of the sinking of the Titanic. The scene is grand and unparalleled.

In the process of sinking the ship, an old couple lying in bed embraced calmly, an old gentleman sitting gracefully waiting for death arrival, a mother who was still telling stories to her children, a first mate who committed suicide because of manslaughter of passengers, and a captain who stayed at the helm at the last moment. ...

Jack pushed Ruth onto a small board, but he kept soaking in ice water, comforting and encouraging Ruth until she was stiff with cold.

When the last lifeboat appeared, there was no Ruth with weak breath; When the lifeboat was about to leave, Ruth remembered her promise to live, and finally untied the handcuffs on Jack, and then Jack slowly sank into the sea. ......

This scene of life and death has become a classic.

Of course, in addition to these classic disaster scenes, there are many happy and beautiful scenes that can also be called classics. Among them, the most classic is Jack holding Ruth at the bow and watching the bloody beauty in the sunset together. This scene, whether in film and television dramas or in real life, has been imitated and experienced by many couples-it has always been imitated, but it has never been surpassed-this is the infinite charm of the classic!
