The Brief Description and Comment on Titanic
Titanic seems a quite simple story. A ship, a voyage, a man and a woman, but the story is so meaningful and romantic that touches audiences’ heart deeply and inspires the impression of love. There were many kinds of emotion this film wanted to present, such as the love of families, the friendship and even the love between strangers. But what impressedme deeply was the love between Rose and Jack.
On April 10, 1912, known as the “Industrial history of the world miracle” of the luxuryliner,Titanic began its maiden voyagefrom England to New York .A wealthy girl Rose with her mother and her fiancé Carl traveled as the first classpassenger.At the same time, the charming but poor young man Jack won an inferiorclass ticket in a gambling at the dock.On board, Jack was fascinated by Rose the first time he saw her. And coincidently, Jack rescued Rose, a girl who was trapped by the economic marriage and tired of deceptive social activities, when she intended to throw herself into the sea.As they communicated further, they soon fell in love with each other. Jack took Rose to the inferior class ball, painted the portrait for her, and even dreamt about future with her. The two people’s feeling warmed up gradually.
On the calm Sunday evening of April 14,1912,the Titanic was hit by the iceberg and the "never sink" Titanic faced the sunken fate, the love between this young couple would also be tested by life and death. Rose gave up the chance to get on the lifeboat for staying with Jack. Jack in the water voiced trembled with cold but still continued to encourage Rose to never give up the hope of survival. At the end of the story, as we all known, Jack died unfortunately, but Rose was rescued by the people who returned to look for survivals. Although Rose survived, she knew she had lost all the world, because her beloved one would never come back. She promised Jack to live a happy life, not only for herself but also for Jack.
Rewatching Titanic in the class, I found I enjoyed it as much as I did when I first saw it around five years ago. I was surprised that this movie d lost none of its power over these five years. And I don’t want to deny that I cried again in all the same places.
Some professional film critics considered that the sinking of the Titanic implies the collapse of the Capitalism in the end of the 19th century. However, I would like to say the director may had not only indicated the downfall of the Capitalism, but also showed many aspects of human nature, no matter good kinds or bad kinds, such as love, faith, bravery, hope, and hypocrisy, mammonism, vanity, selfishness, and so on. After appreciation of Titanic, I had my own opinions about the two contrary aspects of human nature presented in this movie through some details.
It is well known thatthe love between Jack and Rose is the eternal theme of this film. Their love was so pure and powerful, directly into the softest deep soul of people. Such a beautiful love, in front of the disaster, never submitted to the destruction and always kept faith in the vow that ＂You jump, I jump＂．Finally, the disaster only became the footnote of this duteouslove. Like the epiphyllums try to bloom for a longer time, finally have to let thewither record its once brilliancy. Although it is a romantic love story without a happy ending, it still spreads warmth among each person who has faith in love.
Despite the love, many other brilliant aspects of human nature were described in this movie. In front of the crisis, true gentlemen still abided by the principle of “children first, ladies first” until the last second of life. In front of the choice of life or death, there were no businessmen, no scholars, no officials, only children, women and men. And I also couldn’t forget the band which kept playing the music instead of escaping with their own life even the ship was sinking. Their brave and calm attitude towards death touched me deeply. In a word, crisis will not disappear because we fear or complain. The greatness of human nature lies on altruism and dedication. Crisis, this litmus test, absolutely can reflect humanity’s brightest light.
But, crisis can also reveal some gloomy aspects of human nature. According to the movie’s background,economy and technology developed really fast in that period. People thus became very confident on human intellectual capabilities. They believed their power of conquering the nature is inapproachable. However, things do not always follow the way people wish to be. The sinking of the Titanic sounded the alarm that self-conceit may led to a disaster.Another negative social mood of that time exposed by the film wasvanity.I was really shocked that Rose’s mother wanted to marry her daughter to Karl just because he was extremely rich, while she didn’t care whether Rose loved him or not.
In a word, Titanic is not simply an affectional storybetween Jack and Rose. It shows more than love. And although language is the most exquisite tool, it cannotexactlydescribe the shock that Titanic brought to me.
