Fan Lord said: Classics reappear
I don't know how Fan friends were doing on Valentine's Day yesterday? I believe that many people will relive classic love movies in this loving festival. "Titanic", which marks the 25th anniversary of its release this year, is particularly appropriate.
Recently, the 4K restored version of "Titanic" was re-screened, evoking the memories of fans. It has been more than 25 years since the premiere, what is called a shuttle of time~
Jack and Rose, who parted from life and death, are difficult to calm in the hearts of countless fans. The film side pinched the Valentine's Day file online, and it is also very good at picking time~
Cameron, the director who has been cue (scolded) for many years, in the spirit of perfectionism, specially did a 1:1 restoration experiment this time, from a scientific point of view, to explore whether the handsome and affectionate Jack can board Rose's floating board and finally survive together↓
After the experiment, Ka Shen said that he was sloppy that year, "If it is put to shoot today, the board will be reduced a little more", netizens ridiculed that it is not necessary, "Jack after 25 years has long been unable to squeeze"... The god of the year was a little plum ↓
Gradually grew into XXXL Merry Uncle Li, passed in the bush of thousands of flowers, a leaf does not stick to the body, the 19-year-old young model's new girlfriend is 6 years younger than "Titanic"...
And the "perfect CP" that used to be on the screen is now growing old together and making fortunes together, which makes people can't help but look at it. However, the unchanging friendship between Xiao Lizi and Kate for more than 20 years is also enviable...
Even if the years are a pig-killing knife, Kate Winslet, who plays Rose, is still a model of elegant aging. The "fat temperature" of that year is now regarded as the goddess of the slightly fat world, and she is also quite calm in the face of aging, and resolutely says No~ to plastic surgery and botulinum injection
Back to this epic masterpiece that won 11 Oscars, it was simply empty when it was first released, not only a classic among classics, but also a love enlightenment for a generation.
Looking back now, it may not be as shocking as it was at the beginning, but it is still worth savoring: from the gripping and beautiful love, to the exquisite and gorgeous service, to the contrast between the rich and the poor...
You can see all the faces of living beings on the legendary cruise ship TITANIC, and hurry up to come to a wave of nostalgia~
Passenger Identity
Old money＞New money＞No Money
The Titanic, which was regarded as the most luxurious giant ship at the time, was actually a microcosm of the society of that era, composed of passengers from different cabins of all levels of beings, and made a high degree of restoration of reality under the lens of director Cameron.
Rich people move away vs poor people backpack the world
The rich come to the dock in luxury cars, and there are full-time drivers and butlers who stand by at any time, and they only need to dress up to board the ship.
Carry-on luggage is counted by box, and there are fewer boxes (hard box brand from LV) ↓
There are dozens of boxes, from costume jewelry to art↓
Even oversized cars must be checked in, and it is necessary to travel properly moving ~
The poor are much simpler, a burden carries the world, and all the belongings are in it. Jack, a poor painter played by Xiao Lizi, has a clean face, and the third-class ferry ticket is still won by playing cards...
The cabins are strictly graded, and the chain of contempt is heavy
The Titanic divides passengers into three classes according to their class, from bottom to top, third-class, second-class and first-class.
The top floor is the most luxurious first-class cabin, which receives either the rich or the famous, and the most expensive ticket is equivalent to the current million yuan.
Rose, her fiancé and mother live in a first-class deluxe suite, and there is a special person who is responsible for eating and living. Each suite has 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, plus 2 dressing rooms and 1 bathroom.
There is also a private deck approximately 50 feet long outside the suite, where you can take a walk, enjoy a meal in the sea breeze and the sun, and enjoy great privacy.
Outside the suite is a magnificent ballroom with a large glass dome and a strong Byzantine style.
In the middle of the carved grand staircase, there is a huge clock from which guests will descend the stairs into the first-class dining room and lounge.
As the most luxurious symbol of the Titanic, this hall has appeared many times in the movie, and various famous scenes are impressive~
However, the same upper-class celebrities who live in the first class also contain a chain of contempt, and Old money, who considers himself an aristocrat, does not look at the "nouveau riche" New Money in his heart. For example, Mrs. Molly (the one in the dark blue hat), who made her fortune in the gold mine in the film, was collectively disliked by the noble ladies.
Old money, which has a high self-esteem, is not always as shiny as it seems. Rose in the middle of the family, is an old money without much money, after his father died, he left a noble title, and his mother started the idea of "selling women for glory" in order to avoid becoming a textile woman.
Rose's fiancé Cal is handsome and golden on the surface, but he is very controlling, and he is angry and lifts the table at every turn↓
After the shipwreck, in order to escape for his life, he picked up the crying child on the deck and squeezed into a lifeboat that only children and women could ride, and his selfish face was exposed~
Of course, there are many rich people on the ship who can maintain their dignity in the face of death.
For example, the founders of Macy's, the Straus couple who have been with them for 40 years. As the hull was about to submerge, Mrs. Straus was supposed to board the lifeboat. But at the last moment he changed his mind, left his place to the maid, and stayed on the boat with her husband, lying in arms and letting the sea submerge.
In reality they were last seen holding hands on deck, and Mrs. Straus is said to have left the following words: "I will not be separated from my husband, we have lived together and we will die together".
Bank tycoon Benjamin Guggenheim, reality is as decent as in the film. According to survivors, they saw him and the valet enter the main staircase, close the door behind them, and heard him say to the waiter, "We are ready, even if we sink, we will be like a gentleman."
The middle second class cabin is inhabited by elites, and Thomas Andrews, the designer of the Titanic, lives on this floor ↓
The third-class cabin is a civilian, the room is crowded, and the bed is a simple bunk bed ↓
Because the space is small and humid, there are often rats running around.
If you want to come out and breathe, you can only blow the sea breeze on the open deck, and the treatment is far worse than that of the rich people~
Dressing and styling
Strong 1910s style, highly restored reality
The disparity between the rich and the poor is not only reflected in the cabin, but also in the daily outfit. Rose, who went down to the third class to find Jack to thank him in person, looked "out of place" on her bright goose-yellow Lunch Dress↓
The lower body is also yellow, Jack's saturation is much lower, and the material is also wear-resistant and well-cared for.
Rose's gown is not only made of delicate and expensive satin, but also has a large area of heavy embroidery at the neckline and shoulders. When the two are in the same frame, the rich flower Rose in the world, the whole person is "shining" ~
How to wear aristocratic women in the 1910s
The upper-class women of the 1910s, saying goodbye to the wide skirts and enclosure skirts of the Victorian period, replaced by streamlined and draped Edwardian style dresses, which are seen as the rise of new age fashion.
The high-waist design was very popular in that era, and Rose in the film is a high-waist model ↓
In order to stretch out the S-shaped graceful body, you need to wear a corset underneath inside, and you feel that it is difficult to breathe through the screen~
Although the rebellious Rose does not like it, as a lady in the upper class of the 10s, having a slender waist is just as important as observing etiquette.
As the fashionable person in charge of the whole film, Rose's style is stunning from the beginning. This Traveling Suits suit was originally released by designer Linker & Co in 1912 (bottom left), and the plump Rose looks thin when worn.
Modified by costume designer Deborah L. Scott, more design was added to the details. Rose's curves are accentuated, while the neckline, cuffs and waist are all made of velvet.
The rich have endless parties from morning to night, and all kinds of dresses are also dizzying, and the materials are visible to the naked eye. At the first glimpse of the deck, Rose's layered white cake dress is very goddess↓
Up close, it is more delicate, the light lace material, with the whole body delicate print, looks delicate and flexible, no wonder Jack fell at a glance~
For formal dinners, aristocratic ladies will also wear more gorgeous beaded sequins, and various bling bling↓ under the light
Rose's Empire Gowns (formal evening dress) is studded with shiny sequins in sheer tulle, lined with poplin similar to the color of mesh, and looks very dignified with long white gloves.
The velvet material with a sense of wealth, which was not yet popular in that era, was synonymous with elegance and nobility, and only the upper aristocracy was qualified to wear it.
Rose's look in a velvet blouse with a lace bodice is one of the most classic looks in the film. The red-haired and snowy skin resembles a girl in an oil painting, gloves and scarves embellished with broken flowers add femininity, and the low-key jewelry she wears is not overwhelming.
An aristocratic woman with delicate hair, her pajamas are also super elegant. This white lace pajama is not only embellished with layers of lace, but also has delicate three-dimensional flower embroidery on both sides of the chest.
This color-block chiffon long dress, the color scheme of taro, pink, beige is very soft, and the long streamers on the back are more romantic, Rose wore it from asking Jack to help her paint until the two parted.
Accessory jewelry is also very particular
In addition to well-dressed, hat ornaments were also one of the social etiquette of high society in the 1910s, and the more gorgeous the more noble.
As soon as Rose appeared, the camera gave a close-up of the wide-brimmed top hat, on which the huge striped bow and the dress matched perfectly, eye-catching but not exaggerated.
When other ladies gather for afternoon tea, hats and accessories are even a race to catch horses, flowers, mesh, feathers... Various decorations look dazzling ~
When it comes to aristocratic outfits, bling bling jewelry is naturally indispensable. The heart of the ocean given to her by Rose's fiancé Cal is sure to be unforgettable for everyone.
Even Rose, who wants to break through all the shackles of nobility, was amazed by this peerless treasure~
The 56-carat Heart of the Ocean in the film is said to be the heirloom blue diamond worn by Louis XVI. However, it does not exist in reality, and it is likely to be grafted with the background of the story of the world's largest existing blue diamond "Hope Diamond".
The 45.52-carat Hope Diamond is said to bring bad luck to its owner. Its former owners include King Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI of France, and Sultan Hamid II of Turkey.
In addition to the heart of the ocean that weighs as heavy as the "neck strangulation", the other jewelry Rose wears in the film is also eye-catching. For example, this small set of emerald white diamonds is very close to the color of her eyes under the light, and it forms a huge contrast with the red beads on the dress.
The long earrings sway in the wind, making people completely unable to move their eyes~
The most photographed in the film is this set of white diamonds, although the size is not very large, but it is very designed, and it is Rose's jewelry at a glance.
Not only necklaces, earrings and rings make up a complete set, but even hair accessories are not generally delicate~
Other aristocratic ladies in the film will also wear various jewelry when socializing, size is linked to both taste and financial resources, but the overall is the popular Art Deco style of that era, which is still fashionable today.
Upper-class men, per capita gentlemanly style
Since the male protagonist Jack's character is a civilian, his dress in the film has little to do with the style of upper-class men. Except for this Evening Dress, which was borrowed from Mrs. Molly for dinner
As the saying goes, "people rely on clothes and horses on the saddle", after the Jack, the elite Fan immediately came out~
Astor IV, the huge rich man in the film and the world's richest man in reality, wore a traditional morning dress when he appeared, usually including a standard black jacket with cashmere striped trousers, gray checked placket or double vest, and the tie is generally in silver or gray tones.
The most formal white tie dress, Cal also has a bodice, which is a perfect match for the big back.
In addition to the white shirt, the striped shirt will also be picked, the vertical stripe is not only thin, but also can be made into a couple outfit with the beloved spouse, Cal is a little bit of a scheming on the body~
When you go out, a coat with a top hat ↓
The gentlemen of that era loved to wear it like this when they went out on the street, it can be said that it was restored 1:1~
And the aristocratic men of that era also liked to wear pocket watches, which looked very elegant ↓
Cal's tail ring is also quite a plus, and the metal enamel material is also a rarity of that era, and many of them are passed down from generation to generation.
Lifestyle
The rich have many rules of etiquette, and the poor are simple and comfortable
The rich have rich activities and many etiquette
The lifestyles of the rich and the poor were also very different, and the elegant aristocracy was usually fascinated by painting, music, and reading. Rose, who carries his collection of paintings everywhere he goes, became the person who knew how to appreciate Picasso and Monet the most before they became famous.
On the first-class deck of the Titanic, there are more entertainment items. There was the most advanced sports equipment hall at the time, including dumbbells, rowing machines, etc., and it can be said that the gym was set up on a cruise ship for the first time. At the time, it cost 25 cents to use and was used for the entertainment of the nobility.
The swimming pool is also essential, and outdoor sports, including palm balls, deck putts, etc., many aristocrats take their children to play.
As the most important way for the upper class to socialize, the salon ball has a lot of etiquette from the beginning of the meeting. The ladies of the first class staged the "Cultivation of Famous Ladies" in minutes↓
In the name of gratitude, Cal invited Jack to the first class dinner party, originally wanting to make him embarrassed in public, but ended up losing his wife and breaking the army. The "kiss hand gift" that Jack learned from the cheap theater came in handy at this time, on the importance of learning~
When it comes to dining, everything is very particular from the order of seating, location to dining.
Faced with a dazzling array of cutlery, Jack was directly blindfolded, and fortunately Mrs. Molly was on the side. Not only borrowed his clothes, but also taught him dining etiquette, this "strongest assist" is really intimate.
At the banquet, there was also a professional playing team, violinists in uniform attire, and the two stars on the neckline of the suit were very distinctive.
One of the most touching scenes of "Titanic" is contributed by these people, and there is an elegant symphony as BGM~
The poor live a simple but fun life
Despite being an aristocratic family, Rose is so disgusted by the endless false pleasantries between the upper class that she even collapses to the point of wanting to commit suicide to free herself.
Fed up with the restrained canary life, she was curious about everything in the third class, and when she danced cheerfully, she felt free and happy like never before.
Although the activities of the poor are single, they are also full of fun, singing and dancing are not lively~
There is no expensive red wine brandy, and cheap beer can be enjoyed↓
You can also go to the beach to ride a horse freely, with your legs spread across the sides like a man.
At the end of the film, the photos carried by the elderly Rose bedside depict the agreement between the two.
After Jack left, Rose Dawson, who bravely lived, really "grasped the time"~
Well, the classic blockbuster "Titanic" will take you back here. Everyone is most impressed by which scenes, welcome to the comment area to chat~
