The story begins with a salvage team visiting the wreck of the Titanic in the deep sea in an attempt to find the long-lost "heart of the ocean". Just as the expedition was at a loss, a seemingly ordinary old lady came into the crew's field of vision. She claimed that she was being The owner of the salvaged portrait, and the beautiful woman on the portrait, wears the priceless heart of the ocean. Looking at the puzzled expressions of everyone, the old man said slowly. 84 years ago, she was born into a noble family and a lady from a famous family. It's a pity that her family was at a disadvantage, her father was heavily in debt, and her mother married her to Carl, the son of an oil tycoon, so that she could still live a luxurious life. It's a transaction, merchants want names, nobles want money, each takes what they need, but she-rose is not a vulgar and weak woman, she is beautiful but not coquettish, noble but not squeamish, she is like a bird in a cage, Sooner or later, she will break through the shackles. At this time, she is only one person away from breaking the shackles.
Rose boarded the Titanic with her fiancé and mother, and planned to get married in the United States, the destination of the voyage. On the boat, Rose was accustomed to the pretense of celebrities, self-righteous, empty and ignorant. She felt that she broke free and had no intention of jumping into the sea. She was rescued by a stranger, Jack, a homeless boy. As everyone knows, the fate of the two was rewritten. Rose made a special trip to the third-class cabin to thank Jack. During the conversation, the two gradually developed feelings for each other. One understands painting, the other is good at painting, with similar interests and looks. They can be described as a perfect couple. It's a pity that due to the class gap, the two have a bright future. Faced with the difficulties of Carl and other nobles, Jack is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is full of laughter. Rose also bravely pursues his dreams, breaks through the obstacles of Carl and his mother, and dominates his own life. Sadly, they were on the Titanic, and just when they decided to be together, that ship hit an iceberg. Due to the instigation of the owner, the negligence of the captain, the mistakes of the chief mate, and the laziness of most of the rest of the crew, the Titanic, which is known as the unsinkable and named after Hercules, was buried on the bottom of the sea on its maiden voyage. .
The film opens the field of vision in this part, not only explaining the specific process of the sinking through the thrilling escape of Jack and Rose, but also observing the actions of various characters on the ship. There are crew members who are unwilling to take risks and will return to save lives, the indifferent upper-class noblewoman, the man who pretends to be a woman to board the ship, the possessive and wealth-loving Carl who finally has the idea of killing people, and the guilt is like a humble gentleman. The shipbuilder, who finally chose to perish with the ship he built, and the crew represented by the captain who chose to advance and retreat with the ship, the violinist who played the violin to the last second of his life, the twilight couple who embraced each other and slept together. Humanity ends up shooting the crew of suicide, and so on. In this catastrophe, the brilliance and darkness of human nature coexist, and the gap between money and status has been greatly reduced. Rose jumped out of the lifeboat and planned to advance and retreat with Jack. In the end, Jack sacrificed himself to save Rose's life, not only the body, but also the all-round rescue of the soul. When she compiled the list of survivors, she used Dawson, which was Jack's last name. Rose, who got rid of the upper class, became an actor as she wished, cherishing every day of her life and fulfilling her commitment to Jack's hard work.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles, and now she has been in the same family for three generations, more than a hundred years old. Jack didn't even have time to leave a photo, and Rose buried this most beautiful memory in her heart for 84 years. After the old lady's story was finished, she raised her head, and the listeners were already hazy with tears. She slowly took out a necklace from her pocket. It was the heart of the ocean that was priceless! However, even if it is worth a thousand dollars, it is inferior to human affection. Because life is priceless, the old man used words and experiences to influence the members of the salvage team. Then, she smiled and threw it casually. The diamond sank to the bottom of the sea and accompanied Jack who was sleeping in the Atlantic Ocean. . In the end, Rose passed away peacefully on the salvage boat. In another world, she was still young, and so was he. The two embraced each other, and the whole boat applauded for them. It was calm and picturesque.
The legend in the film is over, and the legend outside the film continues. The film made $2.187 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing romance film to date. The only ones who can beat its box office are Avatar, another masterpiece by the director himself, and Avengers IV, which is based on 20 movies. Not only was the box office shocking, but the word of mouth was also overwhelming. The film won 14 out of 11 awards at the 70th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and other heavyweight awards, becoming one of the most awarded films in the previous Oscars.
Cameron, who was born in science fiction films, has made such excellent romance films. He has found the perfect balance between business and art. I believe there are many small question marks in your mind: how did this happen? In fact, we can see the clues in the film. First of all, the two trump cards of the film: Leonardo the ball grass and Kate, who is magnificent, have attracted a huge audience. You must know that the director decided to use Xiao Li or it was because he appeared in the whole office building. Women rushed to take a look at him . Then, the director's control of the rhythm is very precise. The first half is mainly a love story, and the second half is a thrilling escape, rush and slow, and even interspersed with elements such as gunfights to attract the audience's attention and satisfy audiences with different tastes. Moreover, the director adopts a flashback method. Although everyone knows the fact that the Titanic sank, throwing an old lady with a mysterious background to create suspense also arouses the audience's interest in watching the movie, which is very clever. Fourth, the director is also full of humanistic care. The huge luxury cruise ship is like a miniature society. It uses the number of cabin layers to allude to different classes of society, criticizes the hypocritical upper class, and at the same time praises the kind people in the lower class, all living beings, and the world. The human heart is vividly expressed under the director's lens. Fifth, the staff's persistent pursuit of art ensures the quality of the film. The actors performed in icy water, the director spared no expense to build a real ship, and used a submarine to film the wreck of the Titanic in the water. The whole crew made this masterpiece from top to bottom.
As the old man said at the end of the film: "There is something more important than money in this world - life." The director borrowed a shipwreck to complete a tribute to life. Yes, life is priceless, true love is eternal, and the true heart of the ocean may not be that huge and heavy diamond at all, but the sincere heart of a young man.
