Titanic is a 1997 romantic drama film directed, written, and co-produced by James Cameron about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson respectively, members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ill-fated 1912 maiden voyage of the ship. Bill Paxton plays Brock Lovett, the leader of a treasure hunting expedition, while Gloria Stuart has the role of the elderly Rose, who narrates the story in 1996. The film was both a critical and commercial success, winning 11 Academy Awards including the Best Film, and became the highest grossing film of all time, with a total worldwide gross of US$1.8 billion.

Plot

100-year-old Rose Calvert examines items that she travelled with on Titanic that have since been recovered from the wreckage

In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic searching for a necklace called “The Heart of the Ocean.” They discover a drawing of a young woman reclining nude, wearing the Heart of the Ocean the day the Titanic sank. News of this drawing on television attracts the interest of the woman in question, Rose Dawson Calvert, now 100, who claims to be the nude woman in the drawing. She and her granddaughter Lizzy visit Lovett on his ship, and recalls her memories as 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater aboard the Titanic. In 1912, young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers and her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Distraught and frustrated with her forced engagement to Cal and controlled life, Rose attempts to commit suicide, but a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson intervenes. They strike up a tentative friendship as he shares stories of his adventures traveling and sketching, and their bond deepens when they leave the first-class formal dinner for a much livelier gathering in third-class.

Cal is informed of her partying in the steerage and forbids Rose to meet Jack again. Eventually, Jack confronts Rose alone, but she is inclined to ignore their growing affection because of her engagement and responsibilities. However, Rose later changes her mind and decides to offer her heart to Jack in a forbidden romance. As a sign of her affection, she asks him to sketch her only wearing the "Heart of the Ocean." Afterward the two run away from Hockley's manservant, Spicer Lovejoy, where they go below decks to the cargo hold. They enter a car and make love, and afterwards run to the bow of the ship. Rose decides that she will leave the ship with Jack. They then witness the ship's collision with an iceberg. Cal discovers Rose's nude drawing, he plots revenge, deciding to frame Jack for stealing the "Heart of the Ocean", and bribes the master-at-arms to handcuff and trap Jack in a room. Although Rose is at first indecisive, she later runs away from Cal, risking her chances of getting on a lifeboat with her mother, in order to find and rescue Jack.

Rose manages to free Jack with a fire axe, and find that the third-class passengers are being locked up. Frustrated, Jack and his friends Fabrizio and Tommy break through a gate and make their way to the boat deck. Cal and Jack manage to persuade Rose to board a lifeboat, but after realizing that she cannot leave Jack, Rose jumps back on the ship and reunites with Jack on the Grand Staircase. Infuriated, Cal takes Lovejoy's pistol and chases Jack and Rose down the staircase. After running out of ammunition, he angrily shouts at them to die and realizes that he unintentionally gave Rose the diamond. Hockley returns to the boat deck and gets aboard Collapsible A by pretending to look after an abandoned child. This is one of only two lifeboats remaining on the ship. Although Jack and Rose manage to avoid Cal's fury, they find that the lifeboats are gone. With no other options, they decide to head aft and stay on the ship for as long as possible before it sinks completely. Eventually, the ship breaks in half and begins its final descent, washing everyone into the cold, icy waters.

Jack and Rose are separated under the water, but eventually reunite, and the camera pulls back, revealing thousands of people dying a painful death from hypothermia. Meanwhile, in Lifeboat 6, Molly Brown tries to convince Quartermaster Robert Hitchens to go back and rescue people, as there is plenty of room, but he refuses, thinking the boat will be swamped. Jack manages to grab hold of a wall paneling, and gets Rose to lie on it. While lying on the wall paneling, Jack makes Rose promise that, whatever happens, she gets out alive. When Officer Harold Lowe arrives with an empty Lifeboat 14 to rescue several people from the water, Rose tries to wake Jack, but then realizes that he has frozen to death. Upon this realization, she begins to lose hope and wants to stay there to die with Jack, but remembers her promise. She does her best to call out to Lowe, but he does not hear her and rows away, seemingly leaving her to die. Still remembering her promise "never to let go," Rose manages to unclasp Jack's frozen hand from her own, letting his body disappear into the sea. Throwing herself into the water, Rose takes a whistle from a dead Chief Officer Wilde and blows it. She is pulled to safety, joining the 5 other survivors from the water, and boards the RMS Carpathia. On the Carpathia's deck, Rose notices Cal looking for her. When he turns in her direction, she turns away, not letting him see her face. This was the last time she ever sees Hockley. Upon arrival in New York City, Rose registers her name as "Rose Dawson".

After completing her story, the elderly Rose steps onto a railing, and it is revealed she had the "Heart of the Ocean" all along, as Cal had slipped into her coat. Rose lies in a bed, next to photographs of her life's achievements, as the shot pans across her into darkness. The film ends with a vision of young Rose reuniting with Jack at the Grand Staircase, surrounded by those who perished with Jack on the ship. They embrace, and the people on the staircase start to applaud.

He is attracted to Rose's beauty and convinces her out of an attempted suicide. His saving of her life brings him into first-class society, and he shows her a carefree way of life she never imagined. Billy Crudup and Stephen Dorff turned down the role of Jack.[3][4]

Several crew members of the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh appear in the film, including Anatoly Sagalevitch, creator of the Mir submersibles.[5]

Production

"The story could not have been written better... The juxstaposition of rich and poor, the gender roles played out unto death (women first), the stoicism and nobility of a bygone age, the magnificence of the great ship matched in scale only be the folly of the men who drove her hell-bent through the darkness. And above all the lesson: that life is uncertain, the future unknowable... the unthinkable possible."
— James Cameron[6]

Director James Cameron had a lifelong fascination with the sinking of the RMS Titanic: for him the tragedy was "like a great novel that really happened". Yet over time he felt that the event had become a mere morality tale, and decided to make a film that would place the audience in a humanizing experience of living history. He wanted to honor the people who died, and he spent six months fully researching what happened, creating a timeline of all the Titanic's crew and passengers. To engage the audience, Cameron knew a love story would be needed. As the likeable Jack and Rose had their love blossom and eventually destroyed, the audience would mourn the loss. Lastly, Cameron created a modern framing of the romance with an elderly Rose, making the history palpable and poignant.[6] Brock Lovett represents those who never connected with the human element of the tragedy.[5]

Cameron organized a dive to the wreck of the Titanic over two years, visiting the Atlantic Ocean twelve times in 1995. Being so busy with the practicality of diving, it was until the second time that Cameron was overwhelmed with where he was. On the last dive, Cameron began the first day of filming: the Snoop Dog robot shot areas not seen by human eyes since 1912.[6] Harland and Wolff, the RMS Titanic's builders, opened their private archives to the crew, sharing blueprints that were thought lost. For the ship's interiors, production designer Peter Lamont's team looked for artifacts from the era, though the newness of the ship meant every prop had to be made from scratch.[7] Twentieth Century Fox acquired forty acres of waterfront south of Playas de Rosarito, and building of a new studio began on May 31 1996, the day the ship's hull was launched into Harland and Wolff's harbor eighty-five years earlier. The modern day scenes were shot on the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in July 1996.[5] It was during this shoot that someone sprinkled phencyclidine into the crew's dinner, infecting many including Cameron, and sending several dozen of them to hospital. The person behind the prank was never caught.[8][9]

Principal photography for Titanic began in September 1996 at the newly-built Fox Baja Studios. A seventeen-million gallon tank was built for the exterior of the reconstructed ship, providing 270 degrees of ocean view. The ship was built to full scale, but Lamont removed redundant sections on the superstructure and forward well deck for the ship to fit in the tank, with the remaining sections filled with digital models. The lifeboats and funnels were shrunk by ten percent. The boat deck and A-deck were working sets, but the rest of the ship was just steel plating. Within was a fifty-feet lifting platform for the ship to tilt during the sinking sequences. Towering above was a 162 feet tall tower crane on 600-feet of railtrack, acting as a combined construction, lighting and camera platform.[5] Cameron chose to build his RMS Titanic on the starboard side as study of weather data showed prevailing north-to-south wind that blew the funnel smoke aft and gave it the look of sailing, but this posed a problem for shooting the ship's departure from Southhampton: it was docked on its port side. Writing on props and costumes had to be reversed, and if someone walked to their right in the script, they had to walk left. In post-production the film was flopped to the correct direction.[10]

Filming Titanic was an arduous experience for all involved. The schedule was intended to last 138 days but grew to 160 - six months. Many cast members came down with colds, flu or kidney infections after spending hours in cold water, including Kate Winslet. Several left and three stuntmen broke their bones, but the Screen Actors Guild decided following an investigation that nothing was inherently unsafe about the set. Cameron never apologised for running his sets like a military campaign, although he admitted, "I'm demanding, and I'm demanding on my crew. In terms of being kind of militaresque, I think there's an element of that in dealing with thousands of extras and big logistics and keeping people safe. I think you have to have a fairly strict methodology in dealing with large numbers of people." After almost drowning, chipping an elbow bone and getting the flu, Winslet decided she wouldn't work with Cameron again unless she earned "a lot of money". She admitted Cameron was a nice man but had too much of a temper.[8]

Sinking the set was a major challenge. In addition to the exterior tank, an enclosed five-million gallon tank was used for sinking interiors, in which the entire set could be tilted into the water. To sink the Grand Staircase, ninety-thousand gallons of water was dumped into the set as it was lowered into the tank. Unexpectedly, the waterfall ripped the staircase from its steel-reinforced foundations, though no one was hurt. The 744-feet long exterior of the RMS Titanic had its first half lowered into the tank, but being the heaviest part of the ship meant it acted as a shock absorber against the water. To get the set into the water, Cameron had much of the set emptied and even smashed some of the promenade windows himself. As the stern rises into the air, the poop deck was built on a hinge which could rise from zero to ninety degrees in a few seconds. For the safety of the stuntmen, many props were made of foam rubber.[11] After submerging the Dining Saloon, three days were spent shooting Lovett's ROV traversing the wreck in the present.[5] The post-sinking scenes in the freezing Atlantic was shot in a 350,000 gallon tank,[12] where the frozen corpses were created by applying a powder on actors that crystallized when exposed to water, and wax was coated on hair and clothes.[7]

Cameron wanted to push the boundary of special effects with his film, and enlisted Digital Domain to continue the breakthroughs on digital technology the director pioneered on The Abyss and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Previous films about the RMS Titanic shot water in slow motion, which did not look wholly convincing.[13] He encouraged them to shoot their 45 feet long miniature of the ship as if "we're making a commercial for [the] White Star Line."[14] Afterward, digital water and smoke was added, as were extras captured on a motion capture stage. Visual effects supervisor Rob Legato scanned the faces of many actors, including himself and his children, for the digital extras and stuntmen. There was also a 65 feet long model of the ship's stern that could break in two repeatedly, the only miniature to be used in water.[13]

During the editing process, Cameron found one notable problem with his first assembly cut: the ending. Cameron felt at this point the audience no longer cared about Lovett's story, and cut his resolution out, as he learned Rose had the Heart of the Ocean diamond and accepts treasure if worthless, and with that out of the way, he falls for Lizzy. Cameron did not want to disrupt the emotional mood after the Titanic's sinking, and found the resolution too neat.[15]

Historical accuracy

In one scene, First Officer William Murdoch, played by Ewan Stewart, is shown fatally shooting some passengers during the frenzy to get to the lifeboats. Ashamed, he commits suicide. When his nephew Scott Murdoch saw the film, he objected to his uncle's portrayal as inaccurate and damaging to Murdoch's heroic reputation.[16] A few months later, Fox Vice-president Scott Neeson went to Dalbeattie, where Murdoch lived, to deliver a personal apology, and also presented a £5000 donation to Dalbeattie High School to boost the school's William Murdoch Memorial Prize.[17] Cameron apologized on the DVD commentary, but noted that there were officers who fired gunshots to follow the "women and children first" policy.[18]

Reception

Critical Reception

The film garnered mostly positive reviews from critics. It has been a "Certified Fresh" film on Rotten Tomatoes with 83% overall approval from critics and 81% from users.[19] The film also received a 75 out 100 metascore on Metacritic, classified as a generally favorable reviewed film. The metacritic users also awarded it with a 7.5/10 average rating.[20]

Roger Ebert said "It is flawlessly crafted, intelligently constructed, strongly acted and spellbinding... Movies like this are not merely difficult to make at all, but almost impossible to make well. The technical difficulties are so daunting that it's a wonder when the filmmakers are also able to bring the drama and history into proportion. I found myself convinced by both the story and the saga."[21] It was one of his top ten films of 1997.[22] James Berardinelli explains, "Meticulous in detail, yet vast in scope and intent, Titanic is the kind of epic motion picture event that has become a rarity. You don't just watch Titanic, you experience it."[23] It is his second best movie of 1997.[24]

Some reviewers felt that the story and dialogue were weak while the visuals were spectacular. Kenneth Turan's review in the LA Times was particularly scathing. Dismissing the emotive elements, he says "what really brings on the tears is Cameron's insistence that writing this kind of movie is within his abilities. Not only isn't it, it isn't even close."[25] Barbara Shulgasser of San Francisco Examiner gave Titanic one star out of four, citing a friend as saying "the number of times in this unbelievably badly written script that the two [lead characters] refer to each other by name was an indication of just how dramatically the script lacked anything more interesting for the actors to say."[26]

Box office

The film received steady attendance after opening in North America on December 19 1997. By Sunday that same weekend, theaters were beginning to sell out. The film debuted with $28,638,131. By the new year Titanic had increased in popularity and theaters continued selling out; unusually, it took fifteen weeks for its weekly gross to decline 50%, the most for any film in the 1990s. By March 1998 it was the first film to earn more than $1 billion worldwide.[27] The movie stayed in theatres for over 6 months. Some theatres in South Africa ran it for longer than a year, bringing in approximately R40 Million ($5,490,671)

Titanic holds the record for the highest-grossing film of all time in the North American market with $600,788,188. The previous North American record of $460,998,000 was held by Star Wars (another 20th Century Fox film).[28] Unadjusted for the effect of inflation, Titanic also holds the record for the highest-grossing movie of all time in the worldwide box office with $1,835,300,000 [29]. The second place Return of the King is about $700 million short of Titanic's record.

Awards

Titanic began its awards sweep starting with the Golden Globes, winning four including Best Film (Drama), Best Director, Best Original Score and Best Song.[30] Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Gloria Stuart and James Cameron's screenplay were also nominated but lost.[31] It won the ACE "Eddie" Award, ASC Award, Art Directors Guild Award, Cinema Audio Society Award, Screen Actors Guild Awards, (Best Supporting Actress Gloria Stuart), The Directors Guild of America Award and Broadcast Film Critics Association Award (Best Director James Cameron), and The Producer Guild of America Awards, It was also nominated for ten BAFTA awards including Best Film and Director.

It tied All About Eve for having the most Oscar nominations in history with 14. It won Best Picture and Best Director. It also picked up best costume design, visual effects, sound, sound effects, original dramatic score, film editing, song, art direction and cinematography. Kate Winslet, Gloria Stuart and the Make-up artists were the only other nominees that failed to win. James Cameron's original screenplay and Leonardo DiCaprio were not nominated.[32] It was the second movie to win eleven Academy Awards after Ben-Hur. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King would also match the record in 2004.

The love theme song also won the Grammy Awards for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. It also won Best Movie and Best Male Performance for Leonardo DiCaprio at the MTV Movie Awards. The film was voted as Best Film at the People's Choice Awards. It won various awards outside the United States, including the Awards of the Japanese Academy as the Best Foreign Film of the year. Titanic eventually won 87 awards and had additional 47 nominations from various award giving bodies around the world.[33]

Soundtrack

Main article: Titanic (soundtrack)

Template:Sound sample box align right Template:Multi-listen start Template:Multi-listen item Template:Multi-listen end Template:Sample box end

The soundtrack CD for Titanic was composed by James Horner and sold more than twenty-seven million copies, notable because it included only one pop song with lyrics. The soundtrack includes performances from the Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø, and the famous Canadian diva Céline Dion. It became a worldwide success, and led to the release of a second volume that contained a mixture of previously unreleased soundtrack recordings with newly-recorded performances of some of the songs in the film, including one track recorded by Enya's sister, Máire Brennan of the Irish band Clannad. "Hymn to the Sea" features Bad Haggis's Eric Rigler on the uilleann pipes and whistles.

James Horner wrote the song "My Heart Will Go On" in secret with Will Jennings because Cameron did not want any songs with singing in the film. Dion agreed to record a demo with the persuasion of her husband René Angélil. Horner waited until Cameron was in an appropriate mood before presenting him with the song. After playing it several times, Cameron declared its approval, although worried that he would have been criticized for "going commercial at the end of the movie".[35] It eventually won the 1997 Academy Award for Best Original Song, meaning that without the inclusion of the song, the movie would not have tied the record for most Oscar nominations or Oscars won.
