泰坦尼克号

I've noticed recently how various critics and the general population treat Titanic horribly with the test of time. I find it shocking how a movie that was regarded as one of the best movies of all time has fallen ill to tons of criticisms. People seem to find it hip now days to bash Titanic and I fail to understand why. I personally find it to be the greatest movie I've seen, the Academy Awards seemed to think it was a pretty damn good movie, the critics when it first came out weren't too harsh and movie-goer's truly expressed how the general population felt about Titanic with the gigantic ticket sales.

Now, however, Titanic makes the "overblown movie" lists from several critics, endures extreme mockery and the ridicule of anyone who actually admits to liking it. This may have been due to people wanting to be different from the norm in 1997 and maybe this attitude never went away and too many people fell victim to it. Or maybe it was the cheesy scene's people like to imitate over and over which obviously must mean the entire movie is cheesy. However, I recently watched Titanic the other day and I'm going to say why I find it to my favorite movie of all time.

The ship Titanic itself expressed a mentally during this time period in which humans felt they could overcome Mother Nature. With the sinking of this ship it made people truly eat the words "Titanic is an unsinkable ship."

With the character Rose, a first class passenger you are exposed to the arrogance high society had. Rose also opened your eyes to the luxuries high society had and how woman were truly trapped and were seen as second-class citizens. Rose almost committing suicide helps hit home how truly horrible it must have been for woman during this time period. The dynamics between Rose and her mother also show the dynamics between how woman had to behave and in a sense how they survived in this society.

With the character Jack, a third class passenger you are exposed to how large the gab between the rich and poor was. How first class dogs went down to be walked on the lower decks, how it was the poor who actually built Titanic and how it was the poor who were treated truly unfair on Titanic just because of social status, which helped express the mentality of the time.

Having these two characters meet and expose the viewer and each other to these different lifestyles helped truly put into perspective the mentality of what this time period was like. Sure, it was in a way a clich' love story, two people from different world's falling in love. But regardless of it being typical it still exposed the different classes in a way that truly made you realize how it was for people back then. Also, many things are clich' for a reason, they most of the time work and have been shown to work time and time again.

Without this love story you would have just come away with the basics of this story, the Titanic sinking. But this love story created sympathy in which you felt for Jack and Rose. It made you truly feel how the people on the Titanic were feeling at that exact moment. Families, loved ones and friends were being torn apart. Without the emotion created from the love story you wouldn't have felt nearly as sad or seriously towards what had actually happened to these people.

As for it being morally wrong on the part of Rose. Well, she was trapped by her mother and society. The man (Cal) whom she was getting married to proved to be inconsiderate towards others, was very mean, rude and thoughtless (even before he knew of the situation between Rose and Jack). He deserved and was asking for everything he got. What Rose did was what many do in youth and sometimes you have to take what life gives you at that moment. That's exactly what she did and people shouldn't say her actions were immoral. They were done out of love at first sight and out of vengeance towards the arrogant class she was apart of.

Titanic was very authentic and very historically accurate. It did include a lot more then just the love story. It had information about the lifeboats, the binoculars, how exactly it sank, the famous people aboard the ship, and numerous other things. Even things such as the first-class band and their situation, what exactly was sung on the last time day light hit the Titanic at the morning church gathering, increasing more speed regardless of ice warnings and many more examples were all little details included in this movie which made it far more then just a "love story" if you actually paid attention.

The ending of this movie came as a shock to most people. Well, it had several things that were resolved.

-When Jack died. In most love stories they would have both survived and lived happily ever after, but this truly hit home the pain people felt after this shipwreck.
-When Rose actually had the necklace. This shocked me, although many realized it before the ending. I thought releasing it back to the water was cheesy but also very symbolic.
-When they showed the pictures of Rose doing everything her and Jack talked about and dying warm in her bed as he said she would was a wonderful way to end it in my opinion. I don't know why but it just seemed like the perfect way to end it.
-Also how Jack was waiting in the same spot he did earlier in the movie was just too cute.

Titanic did have things in it that were cheesy, like the kissing scene at the front of the boat, the drawing scene and the "I'm king of the world" scene. But these scenes's helped keep the audience drawn in regardless of their cheese factor. Also running around the ship and opening the locked gate at the last minute before they would have drowned was also cheesy. But it is a movie and you have to have suspense, and even though these things wee unlikely they were still probable and made the movie entertaining.

One of the major flaws people say this movie had was the acting. I however thought it had amazing acting and I saw nothing wrong with it. Acting is something that is hard to pin-point in terms of being good or bad. I find it an easy way to attack any film. If you say the acting is bad, you cannot really "prove" to that person it was good. Acting is something that just goes to personal opinion and you cannot really change someone's mind on it. I personally give an A+ for acting and even the script. But one thing to consider is that many shots could only be done a few times or even once because of what they had to do to the sets, making it sometimes hard to get the perfect take.

James Cameron told you some of the ending at the very start of the flim. He showed the Titanic under-water and that Rose survived. This should have made the movie boring, but it didn't. I was still glued to the screen. This really helps prove it was a good movie.

乱世佳人 (GONE WITH THE WIND)
GONE WITH THE WIND is without doubt a great, great film. It has probably been seen by more people than any other film in history. I saw it for the first time in a theater in 1968, when, on its re-release, it was playing to capacity houses.

I saw it again on its re-release in 1971 and again in 1976. In both instances it was again playing to full theaters. When the movie was released in 1939, the average movie ticket was probably around fifty cents. Today, if the average price for a movie ticket is nine dollars, it is easy to calculate that GONE WITH THE WIND is the most fiscally successful film in history, and the reason for this can only be because it is one of the most beloved.

And with good reason. This is a magnificent cinematic achievement, whether by the standards of 1939 or of any other year. I would take it any day over the computer-generated nonsense being churned out today.

It is probably the most written-about movie ever, with the exception of CITIZEN KANE, so there isn't much to add to it except a few personal observations:

1. Watching the film again recently, it seemed that every single scene was perfectly written, directed and acted. There isn't a moment I would like to see discarded.

2. Many people think that the sexiest moment in movie history comes when Scarlett is shown the morning after she's been taken forcibly up the stairs to the bedroom of her husband, Rhett Butler.

3. The character of Scarlett is the most memorable heroine in film history and quite likely the greatest feminine role ever adapted for the screen from a novel. Vivien Leigh's performance is no less than spectacular. It was Miss Leigh's great fortune to have played not only Scarlett but A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE's Blanche DuBois, who is arguably the greatest role ever written for a stage play.

4. The character of Rhett Butler was probably written with Clark Gable in mind, and he brings a stalwart virility to the role which is exactly what is needed. But does it matter whether Gable or Gary Cooper (who was certainly considered) or anyone else played Rhett? Anyone who played him would certainly have been deemed the definitive Rhett.

5. Olivia de Havilland's Melanie tends to remain a stereotype of a too-good-to-be-true counterpart to Scarlett, although there are a handful of scenes when she breaks away from the mold and shows true mental and moral fortitude. In the scene where Scarlett shoots the Yankee deserter on the staircase at Tara, Melanie, appearing from above with a sword almost too heavy for her to lift, quickly assesses the situation and shouts to the family that Scarlett had just been tinkering with the gun when it went off. Later, she covers for Rhett in the scene where be brings the wounded Ashley home from the raid on Shantytown, pretending that Ashley had been with him all evening at Belle Watling's. Her best moment comes when she approaches Scarlett at Ashley's birthday party after rumors of an affair have been circulating; her face is eloquently neutral, as though she were ready for all-out warfare, and we wait for the worm to turn. It doesn't. Instead, she embraces Scarlett and asks her to help her receive her guests. She never sees the bad in anybody. She is a true lady.

6. The early scenes in the movie are relatively light and frothy as the principals emerge and the atmosphere is established. The first change of tone comes from the reading of the Gettysburg death list--and it's a shocker. From a shot of the hushed crowd waiting outside the newspaper office, the camera zooms to a list of the names of those killed in action as cries of horror penetrate the soundtrack. We see Scarlett and Melanie breathlessly scanning the list in fear that Ashley's name may be among the casualties, and then there is a shot to the mournful crowd and finally to the pitiful band who defiantly strike up "Dixie" as tears flow down their anguished faces.

7. The atmosphere is convincing throughout, as in the scene with Melanie in labor and Scarlett conversing inconsequentially to drown out the thoughts that the Yankees are approaching. The movie puts you right there with those women in that horrible bedroom, and you can almost feel the heat of the surroundings.

8. The final scene with Scarlett on the staircase is almost Shakespearean, with an ambiguous suggestion of uplift. Scarlett has found consolation, and she is too strong not to triumph. The end of the movie presents a valid speculation as to what endures and what is really meaningful in life.

9. In 1946 the producer David Selznick released DUEL IN THE SUN, which he unabashedly modeled on GONE WITH THE WIND and billed as "the movie with a thousand memorable moments." (It had one or two, courtesy of Jennifer Jones' flamboyant performance.) GONE WITH THE WIND could have been billed that way and it wouldn't have been an overstatement.

10. GONE WITH THE WIND, made in 1939, is one of film's strongest reverberations to Scarlett's contemplation as to what endures and what is really meaningful in movies.
