Time flies really fast, "Titanic" from 1997 to now 24 years, a lot of children who watched this movie for the first time are now a middle-aged man who has established a family, to be honest, when I watched this movie when I was a child, I was more shocked by Ruth's carcass and imagined, as if I saw the oil painting real person come out, and now every time I look back at this movie, I can still bring different shocks and emotions, including many details with age.
1. The earliest beginning of the story is the merchant's salvage of the seabed in order to retrieve the heart of the ocean, which is the expression that is unconsciously revealed when he sees the safe.
Greedy gaze
As a result, only the old banknotes in the safe are very disappointing, and just when the disappointment is disappointed, there is a twist here because of a painting.
I think this is a foreshadowing of the director's attempt to elicit the following, the story of the businessman who is triggered by the search for the heart of the ocean.
The assistant explained the entire crash of the ship into the iceberg, but Ruth said, "But this is far from the thrill of personal experience" Obviously, people who have not experienced the disaster will never experience the helplessness of death.
2. The film begins with a father excitedly introducing the cruise ship to the little girl in his arms in the third class, which is a spectacular and shocking that has never been seen before in the eyes of the child, and the appearance of Ruth in the picture sighs that the ship is not as big as the Mauritania
The contrast between before and after seems to tell the audience that the shock in the eyes of the poor is not worth the fuss at all in the eyes of the rich.
Our male protagonist Jack won the ticket because of the bet, when he saw everyone saying goodbye to his relatives, he also learned to say goodbye to everyone's appearance, and his companion asked him if he knew anyone, Jack replied, "Of course not, what does it matter" I think this picture can really bring into Jack's personality, optimistic and positive, just like the sentence "Life treats me like a thousand hardships, but I return with a song."
3. Ruth likes to paint and buySo's abstract paintings, wants to hang them in the house to decorate and admire and lament that "these paintings are generally intoxicating in ordinary dreams" while her fiancé Carl thinks that this is a waste of money graffiti, and the one named Picasso has not been able to mix in this life, it is obvious that the two people are not unified in values.
The upper class blows at the dinner table with false business, lamenting how great the ship is, Ruth looks at all this with contempt and lights a cigarette and asks "Do you know Freud" Obviously, the so-called upper class does not understand what Freud is, it is really self-righteous.
Ruth lives every day at the ornate ball and in life full of mountain delicacies without feeling the slightest sense of existence, looking at the flesh without the slightest expression, and Jack can enjoy the starry sky even if he smokes a cigarette on the cold deck without food, which is a stark contrast.
Ruth wants to get rid of this life and runs to the splint to jump into the sea to commit suicide, when Jack comes over and says that the sea is very cold because he experienced it when he was with his father when he was a child, the cold sea water makes him remember it so much, he does not want to experience it again in his life, and it also echoes the end of Jack is frozen in this cold sea water.
When Ruth was rescued by Jack and the housekeeper suggested that jack should not be given a bonus, her fiancé Carl could have tipped a little, but Karl sincerely invited Jack to the banquet, I think it was because Cary had vaguely seen a hint of appreciation in Ruth's eyes, and his real purpose was to make Jack ugly at the banquet.
At night, before going to bed, Carl gave Ruth the engagement gift Ocean Heart in advance, he told Ruth that we are nobles who deserve to have it, and said that as long as we are willing to accept him, I am willing to do everything, at this moment I think Karl really loves Ruth, but I don't know how to express it, and I don't understand what kind of life his fiancée wants.
The upstart Mary tells Jack that everyone in high society is a great admirer of gold, as long as he pretends to have a gold mine, he can fit into this circle, when the richest man on the ship sees that the well-dressed Jack also thinks that he is also from a noble family, at the dinner table, the fiancé Carl thinks that Jack will be ugly, and jack answers like a stream, not in the slightest hurry, showing great sincerity, the so-called nobles have any knowledge, but through the hypocrisy of dress and arrogant words.
At the end of the meal, fiancé Carl said to Jack , "We're going to talk about politics next, you won't be interested" but I felt that his implication was that you could roll away, and that this was not the case for you.
Ruth was tightly unable to breathe by her mother's sculpted waist, and seeing her mother at the next table teaching the little girl to learn the etiquette of nobility, as if she saw her former self, which was the last straw that overwhelmed herself, and the feeling of suffocation greeted her.
This ship can travel the lowest workers working overtime day and night, and when they really hit the iceberg, it is the bottom workers who are the first to be trapped, full of irony.
At one point, still a gentlemanly demeanor, women and children were put on board first.
The gentlemanly demeanor here is not pretended
Fiancé Carl always felt that Ruth was just playing, and the final winner must be herself until Ruth watched Jack finally give up the opportunity to escape and be with his lover, Carl knew that he had completely lost, and began to shoot at the two of them madly.
Karl looked at Ruth proudly as if he had won
Ruth decides to face life and death with Jack
In the face of death, everyone's performance is different, and the evil of human nature begins to show the true, good, and beautiful side of human nature.
Give the life jacket to others to choose to live and die with their wives
The mother tells the children one last bedtime story
Decided to be like a gentleman who accepts it calmly
A musician who still plays the last song of his life
At the last moment of life, Jack still told Ruth the importance of life, in time to lose her life to know Ruth is also Jack's luckiest thing, when Ruth found that there was a boat to wake Jack when she found that Jack had frozen to death, Ruth also slowly slept on the splint, I think Ruth had a moment to die with Jack, opened her eyes suddenly, remembered that she promised Jack to live well, because this life was given by Jack, to cherish,
Final advice
He opened his eyes fiercely
Finally saved, Karl returned to the third class to find Ruth, I think it is not because Karl still loves Ruth, but wants to return to Ruth's heart of the ocean, and the essence of the merchant is revealed
And I've always felt that the "I am the king of the world" in the movie is the director's desire to borrow Jack's voice
Although the director has not made many films, each one is a classic within a classic
In the end, Ruth threw the heart of the ocean into the sea, at first I thought that I wanted the necklace to accompany Jack to sleep on the bottom of the sea forever, and now I think it is because Ruth hid the necklace in the deepest part of her heart like Jack, and now she has been relieved.
The first time I watched it, I lamented that the love in the story has been great for a long time, and now I feel that the story is actively facing life, and it is the process of life to be brave to try, which is the real meaning of the movie.
