Professional film reviews of Titanic

The first expensive film in film history

An unsinkable love swan song on a sunken ship

A warning motto that human beings should always examine their own bad habits

An immortal legend that embraces faith, courage, sacrifice and love

When evaluating his own film, director James Cameron said, "On April 1th, 1912, industrial technology has brought people nearly 2 years. People began to take this endless progress for granted. What can better represent human conquest of nature than Titanic, the largest and most luxurious movable object ever built by human beings? However, four and a half days later, the whole world changed-the maiden voyage of this "dream ship" < P > ended in an unreasonable nightmare. The unique inferiority of human beings: arrogance, slowness, complacency and greed in an abnormal state have thus destroyed the belief that human beings have invincible power forever.

"My purpose in making this film is not only to show the dramatic destruction of this infamous ship, but also to show her short and brilliant life, to capture the beauty, vitality, hope and confidence of Titanic and her passengers and crew, and to celebrate the infinite potential of human spirit in the process of revealing the dark side of mankind. Titanic is not only a warning story-a myth, fable and metaphor about human misfortune, but also a story about faith, courage, sacrifice and love. "

Today, we are going to talk about Titanic not only because it is a successful commercial video, but more importantly, it has led to a wave of nostalgia at the end of the century: the sinking of Titanic was a tragedy at the beginning of the 2th century, but the film presents the love, friendship and disaster of Titanic in less than five days after its departure to this generation at the end of the century with real historical facts and fictional love stories, which tells us a truth: we should cherish life.

-Wu Xiaoli, a famous Hong Kong host

We all need a masterpiece with strong feelings that can sweep away all humble situations, and we need heroism that can stimulate spiritual growth to reappear in the rivers and lakes. At this point, Titanic helped everyone.

-The New York Times

Titanic is not only a movie, but also a phenomenon. It gives everyone a feeling that it has fulfilled a dream that everyone can't realize in reality. Especially the love story, which is difficult to complete in reality and needs the test of death, can be accompanied by life and death.

A TV news item "Treasure Explorer Booker ordered a well-preserved portrait of a young woman wearing a diamond necklace from the sunken Titanic in 1912" caught the attention of a centenarian. Excited, the old woman immediately went to Booker's boat. It turned out that her name was Ruth, the woman in the portrait. Looking at the portrait, scenes of the past came to her eyes-

On April 1th, 1912, the Titanic, known as the "miracle in the world industrial history", set off from Southampton, England and docked in new york, USA, and began its maiden voyage in the Atlantic Ocean.

There was a sea of people on the dock, and people rushed to witness the largest and most luxurious ship ever built by mankind. Ruth, a beautiful aristocratic lady, boarded the first class with her mother and fiance, Carl, the son of the steel king. At the same time, the young painter Jack got a third-class ticket by gambling with others. He and his partner flew to the dock, jumped on the deck and boarded the Titanic. They cheered loudly, as if they were the masters of the sea.

Ruth is a girl who obeys the rules in appearance but has a strong rebellious consciousness in her heart. She has long been tired of the boring life of the nobles. On the deck, Jack saw Ruth and was deeply attracted by her.

Ruth feels extremely helpless about her future marriage life, and her heart is surging like waves. Jack happened to find her when she tried to jump into the sea. He saved her, and they met each other. Ruth confided to Jack: "I feel that this life is nothing more than this, as if I have lived all my life, and it is like standing on the edge of a cliff. No one pulled me back, no one cared, or even ignored me."

Jack patiently enlightened Ruth, took her to dance in the third-class cabin, and even taught her how to spit long and straight. Under the guidance of Jack's optimism, Ruth found her long-lost happiness.

Ruth's fiance Carl found out about Jack's relationship with Ruth, and he gave her a priceless necklace "in the heart of the sea" to try to save her love with Ruth. However, this can't touch Ruth's heart, because she has fallen in love with Jack deeply. In the bedroom, Ruth put on "in the heart of the sea" and Jack drew the portrait that she will never forget. Ruth decided to go ashore and live with Jack, and happiness seemed to be in their hands.

However, because the Titanic hit an iceberg, the right side of the ship broke. Although it is called "unsinkable", people can feel it sinking bit by bit, but at this time Jack was framed by Carl and locked up in the lower cabin.

Ruth went back to the empty cabin to find Jack, and found an axe at a critical moment to save him. They came to the deck, and Ruth got into the lifeboat under Jack's persuasion. However, at the last moment when she boarded the rescue boat, Ruth changed her mind. She jumped back on the Titanic and decided to live and die with Jack.

Jack dragged Ruth to the stern and climbed the railing until the Titanic sank. When they fell into the sea of people, Jack pushed Ruth onto a board and soaked himself in the cold sea water. He encouraged Ruth and asked her to promise to live well, but his body became colder and colder, and eventually he slowly sank into the sea ...

The rescue boat rescued Ruth, but Jack was swallowed up by the sea of ice forever. Eighty-four years later, Ruth came to the place where the Titanic sank and threw "in the heart of the sea" into the sea to tell Jack's soul in heaven ...
