Titanic professional film review

It is precisely because of the retrospective perspective that Titanic is difficult to be classified into the sequence of popular disaster films. It is not only a parody of the historical event that Titanic sank 86 years ago by using the visual miracle of Hollywood, but also a rewriting of the current context. The key to this rewriting is that the main narrative line shifts to an unprecedented love story. The dialogue triggered by this classic double-line structure in the text makes love and history permeate each other and * * * appears in the eyes of the narrator. This also made both of them a little sad, singing an elegy for the hero's unforgettable love and that particular historical moment.

It used to be a brilliant miracle-an unsinkable "dream boat", sailing in the sea representing the mysterious and unknown power of nature, which undoubtedly became the embodiment of its era. Man is full of pride and self-confidence. With his wisdom and strength, he has conquered nature with his huge body and infinite strength, even space and time. The destination of this voyage, the New World, is undoubtedly the embodiment of a country full of dreams, freedom, democracy and a series of myths in the eyes of Europeans. Several sets of shots in the film show the operation of huge mechanical gears in the ship and the burning flames in the boiler, which is a wonderful footnote of this "modern narrative". The hero stood at the bow, opened his arms to the vast sea and shouted, "I am the king of the world!" " "There is no doubt that this narrative theme has been pushed to the extreme.

As a commercial film, Titanic shows not only the fear and self-doubt that pervades the world, but also the love story as the main line, emphasizing the self-rescue of modern people in difficulties. This is precisely the characteristic of this era of mass production of myths. Although the historicity it contains inevitably presents the true feelings of contemporary people, its aesthetic position makes it necessary for people to adopt certain rhetorical strategies to bridge the widening gap between reality and imagination. No matter how much we exaggerate the power of love, all she can save is the individual in history. This made me fall into greater fear when I was moved. In fact, pure love itself contains rhetorical strategies. The heroine of Love is a girl from a declining aristocratic family, tired of the hypocritical life of the upper class, and full of fire-like passion. Since she met a hero, a bohemian artist, this flame has been lit. It was this passion that overcame the temptation and alienation of money and status, which made her return to the innocence and vitality at the beginning of her life and restored her courage to survive until the shipwreck saved her life.

In my opinion, an era of passion, along with the sinking of the Titanic, is accompanied by fanatical love and lonely heroes.
