Titanic: Truly Unsinkable Masterpieces
It was an unsinkable ship. It was one of the largest of its time, and a wonder to the eye. The tragedy of Titanic will be a part of history forever. To educate us about this tragedy, James Cameron, directed his version of Titanic in 1997. Cameron's voyage is seen through of the eyes of a 101-year-old lady who tells her tale of what happened. Rose (Kate Winslet), is a young, well-to-do passenger trapped by her up bringing, in a world with nothing but meaningless conversations, parties, and money. Feeling that there is no other way out, Rose flees to the back of the ship to end her life; however, she meets Jack. Jack is (Leonardo DiCaprio), a third class passenger who ironically wins his ticket on Titanic in a poker game. This couple meets, and falls in love at first sight. Most of the movie is based on the love that Jack and Rose share and their problems which they endure along the way. Rose is engaged to a rich and powerful man by the name of Cal Hockley. She feels trapped with the engagement and with the wedding plans well on the way; she struggles to find her true feelings and the courage to desert her mother for her own happiness.
