It was said to be the ship of dreams. Would you gamble and leave everything behind just to set foot on the ship, but only ask to stay on the lower decks and be humiliated by the upper classes? Or would you go on board with a heavy heart knowing that this ship chains a slave ship that takes you back to America while you pledge yourself to someone you hardly love just to uphold your family’s legacy? Titanic was directed and written by James Cameron, which is an unfortunate and fictional romance tale about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Cameron felt that the sinking of the Titanic was “like a great novel that really happened” but that the event had become a mere moral tale; the film would give the audience the experience of living the story. Since the movie has two timelines, one in which Brock Lovett the treasure hunter plunged into the ruins of the actual Titanic in the modern era, while the other set foot in 1912, where the maiden voyage began. of said ship. It was the Edwardian era in which it is portrayed as a romantic golden age of long summer evenings and garden parties, basking in a sun that never sets in the British Empire. However, the division between classes was still so evident from this. Since the Titanic approach has three classes namely the first class or bourgeoisie, the middle class which is the working class and the lower class known as the proletariat. Generally, this review comes close to the texture of each class and its ability to live, literally and symbolically. However, the classes are not intended to restrict an individual whom to see, socialize and love. As shown by Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson’s cross relationship.

“It’s been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The porcelain had never been used. The sheets had never fallen asleep. The Titanic was called the ship of dreams, and it was. It really was.” Rose DeWitt Bukater said as she recalled her young self who sailed on the Titanic and its iconic tragedy. While sailing aboard the Titanic at the upper-class level, he met a man named Jack Dawson who was a proletarian and had just won his ticket to sail the Titanic by gambling. Even though they are heaven and earth separated by their social class, they chose to see each other frequently, even if it means betraying Rose’s mother and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. One night, the Titanic collided with a huge invisible iceberg that they could not avoid. It was then that the Titanic began to sink quite quickly. All the women and children were asked to climb aboard small boats and some less fortunate poor were locked downstairs. Rose survived, but her true love, Jack Dawson, did not. Rose went on to live a full life, but was certainly looking forward to reuniting with her beloved Jack in the afterlife. He remembered everything as if it were yesterday.

Focusing on the Marxist approach, there were undeniable social conflicts in this story. James Cameron did justice in all aspects of the film without overlooking another, especially social injustices. The first thing that was reflected in the film was when the lower-class passengers had to go through a long inspection queue just to search for lice on their bodies while the working class and the bourgeoisie got on board smoothly and comfortably. It was also portrayed in the Molly Brown situation where rich snobs call her “new money”, which means someone who doesn’t know how to act and live aristocratically, it was so easy to judge a person by rich people just because they are. . able to, like the way Caledon Hockley, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and others looked at Jack Dawson tactlessly. Another was when the dogs were brought to lower decks just to take their urinal, reminding passengers of the scheme their society has. But the epitome of injustice was enacted when the Titanic ship was already sinking. Since there are only numerous lifeboats available, upper-class women and children were prioritized and those below were kept locked below decks, leading to a frenzied rally and battling the crews and officers of the boat. This situation briefly described that social class is the key determinant of who will survive and who will perish. In fact, only 3% of first class passengers drowned compared to 16% in second class and 45% in third class.

Titanic was an iconic movie that will surely mark a place in your heart, as it was filled with overwhelming scenarios that could relate to what is really happening in this world. His effective expression of the nature of man deserved all his awards. Especially since he seemed to be the pioneer of high standards in cinematography, script, production, actors, and just about every aspect of film. With the change of timelines and the transitions of each scene were remarkable for it to be a classic movie. The actors were admirably professional and very talented in bringing each character to life, whether main or extra. The ending in which Old Rose DeWitt Bukater throws the “Heart of the Ocean” into the vastness of the water symbolizes the quiet acceptance of memories of Jack Dawson and the ship of dreams, the Titanic.
