#9 Titanic (1997)
I don’t remember the number of times I have watched Titanic. When I saw it for the very first time, little did I know that some stranger characters, Rose and Jack, would make an everlasting impact on me. I had made a scrapbook full of its photos and penned down all possible dialogues in my memory in the book. My obsession with the movie impressed the theatre manager, and I saw this movie a maximum number of times. In light of this, he gifted me a photo set of the film, which I have treasured. Visit my YouTube channel to view the slideshow, ‘Titanic Stills.
Plot
Treasure hunter Keldysh (Bill Caxton) contacts and invites Rose Dawson Calvert to get details of her journey on the magnificent ship, the Titanic. Keldysh is hunting for the necklace with a rare diamond, ‘The Heart Of The Ocean. He is keen and excited to hear the story from the person who was actually on board. She narrates the story to the entire staff, who listens patiently.
Back in 1912, a beautiful, carefree 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) arrives on board of Titanic along with her mother and fiance Cal (Billy Zane). At the same time, Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a free-spirited young boy, is trying his luck at a game of poker to win a ticket for travelling on the dreamy Titanic ship. He wins and rushes along with his friend to catch his chance of travelling on the mighty ship. Rose has her reservation in the first class compartment, and Jack, being poor, is in the third class.
Love At First Sight
When Jack sits on the ship’s deck with his friends, he sees an incomparably beautiful girl sight-viewing. She is none other than Rose. He falls for Rose the moment he sets his eyes on her. She sees him but tries to ignore him. Rose is living a life thrust upon her by her family. The elite societal lifestyle and its pressures suffocate her to the limit. She finally decides to succumb and, at night, proceeds towards the highest part of the deck to end her life. Jack sees her and tricks her into changing her mind.
Cal and his attendant Spicer Lovejoy arrive there to find Rose and Jack in an awkward position. Jack covers up for Rose and handles the delicacy of the matter with finesse. Cal invites him for dinner as a token of thanks for saving Rose’s life.
Rose Falls For Jack
During the dinner, Rose discovers Jack’s free-spirited nature. His lifestyle impresses her, and she falls for him. After the dinner, she secretly joins Jack for a wild party in the third class. She has a gala time with the happy folks there. Lovejoy traces her, and the very next day, she is answerable to her mother and Cal. They try to keep her away from Jack. But she has made up her mind, and the lovers steal moments to spend with each other.
The Collision
On April 14, when Rose and Jack are making up precious memories, they experience an intense jerk. An iceberg hits the Titanic, and wrath falls. The hitting damages the ship, causing water to enter various parts of the boat. People in the first and second classes have the first preference for access to lifeboats. The unfortunate third-class passengers suffered in this unlucky collision to the maximum.
Rose prefers to go with Jack, terminating her relationship with Cal. While Cal takes his jewellery, including the Heart Of The Ocean, and leaves with Lovejoy.
Later in the movie, people struggle to save their lives.
True Love
Finally, Jack and Rose are in a situation where they find a wooden plank. But it can withstand the weight of only one person. Jack happily tells Rose to be on it while he chooses to stay in the freezing waters of the ocean. He knows that he will not be able to survive this. But his unconditional love for Rose makes him suffer in this heart-wrenching condition, without a trace of complaint. Every time I have seen this movie, this scene tears me apart. How can one be so selfless and committed? Ultimately, Jack assures Rose that she will not give up and live her life. She knows he is going to die. But she promises him and frees his soul. Hence, Rose does not fall short when it comes to unconditional love.
The Promise
As promised to Jack, Rose lives a full life, bears children, and flourishes. The Heart Of The Ocean is with Rose now, which she accidentally gets through the coat Cal gave her. The narration of the story is over now, but the mystery of the diamond is with Rose. The film ends with an old, satisfied Rose slowly walking towards the peril of the ship. She removes the diamond and swirls it into the mighty ocean with a lovely smile.
Later, during sleep, she envisions herself young and gracious, walking on the staircase of the Titanic towards Jack. They unite in the presence of the passengers on board the Titanic.
Magnificent and heart-touching, I am sure you have seen this masterpiece. If not, do so. See you all in another cult movie with the charisma of its lead pair.
