“What? Do you think a first-class girl can’t drink?” In the film Titanic, written and produced by James Cameron in 1997, the situation of women during 1912 is described. The film shows a dynamic love story between a Caucasian boy, a poor artist, and a rich and independent girl. It also showed the story of one of the most remembered disasters in history.
The story began in the present day in the year 1997, when treasure hunter Brock Lovett searches for a necklace with a rare diamond, Heart of the Ocean, in the wreck of the RMS Titanic. They find a drawing of a young woman wearing the necklace naked. The woman appeared to be Rose DeWitt Bukater… Rose Dawson Calvert. She then introduced herself to Lovett and told him about his experiences on the Titanic. The story continues as 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater, a first-class passenger in the year 1912 aboard the Titanic. She was forced to marry a wealthy man named Caledon Hockley, leading him to the conclusion that ending her life is the way to escape her. As she was about to jump, a man stopped her and offered her help, but the authorities thought it was rape, and when they discovered her innocence, Cal was forced to invite Jack to dinner with the other passenger on the plane. first class. The story continues, Rose and Jack fell in love despite the warning of her Rose’s mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater. Later, Cal found out everything and locked Jack away from Rose. Then the Titanic hits an iceberg, and the ship begins to sink, with Rose fighting her way to save Jack. Leaving the two of them unsaved because all the lifeboats have already departed. Due to the wooden panel Rose climbed on, she was saved because one of the lifeboats returned. While Jack died from hypothermia. After being saved, Rose decided to change her name to Rose Dawson and follow her heart by leaving all the wealth she had before. The story came back to the present day, Lovett and his company who heard the story were moved and simply dismissed the idea of the Heart of the Ocean necklace. The movie ended with old Rose holding the necklace and throwing it into the ocean.
Rose is just someone who is a representation of an independent woman, fell in love with a poor artist, rejected her family and her fiancé, abandoned her past life and lives her life on her own. She proved so many things throughout the movie; women also have knowledge about things and they are not just beauties, she is a woman who has her own opinion and is not afraid to share it because she believes that she is only expressing her own, she is willing to try new things without caring what others will do the rest. people think of her, she doesn’t care how people define femininity, she issued a new definition of strength, she is confident in her own body, she doesn’t need Jack to save her, but otherwise she risked her life just to save Jack. Rose proved that heroes don’t just wear capes, they also wear dresses.
In general, the movie Titanic marked me because it shows the empowerment of women. It may not be the main focus of the story, but it kind of gave me a different perspective if you look at that area. Titanic is worth a thousand tears. The actors and actresses played their roles well, which added flavor to the film. The production team and the rest of the technical staff did a great job in producing a highly successful film that has touched the hearts of its viewers so far. The music complemented the flow of the story well, giving the story a good narrative. So the movie fits my taste and I can say that it is a very dramatic but meaningful movie to watch.
