Unit 4 Titanic Historical Background: Characters Jack Dawson: Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio Rose Dewitt Bukater: Kate Winslet Caledon Hockley: Billy Zane Director: James Cameron Running time: 194mins Released: Paramount Synopsis The White Star Line Company builds the worlds biggest ship that is known to be unsinkable. On the first trip (from Liverpool to New York), the Titanic carries first-class passengers and third-class passengers too. Engaged to a would-be steel magnate, Caledon Hockley, Rose boards the Titanics first-class suites with him and her mother in Southampton. Also boarding are Jack Dawson and his friend Fabrizio, after a lucky poker game wins them tickets in steerage. When Rose attempts suicide by jumping off the stern in third class, Jack pulls her back onto the ship... Roses mother and Cal Hockley try desperate measures to keep them apart. But that strategy goes out the window when the Titanic collides with an iceberg, and due to a design flaw begins to sink . Synopsis There arent enough lifeboats, and of course, first-class passengers can go first. The nearest ship, Carpathia is too far away to be able to help them in time. Jack dies, Rose lives. She changes her name to avoid being found and goes on to live an exciting life, doing all the things Jack had told her about. She does not marry Cal, thankfully. Touched by her story, Brock decides to end his search for the diamond. The old Rose throws the Heart of the Ocean into the water, where it sinks to rest with the Titanic. At the very end, we are left with an image of Rose asleep, then a cut to young Rose meeting Jack at the Grand Staircase, leading us to believe she has died and this is her heaven. Jack: Don’t do it! Rose: Stay back! Don’t come any close! Jack: Come on! Just give me your hand and I’ll pull you back over. Rose: No, stay where you are! I mean it! I’ll let go! Jack: No you won’t! Rose: What do you mean, No I won’t? Don’t presume to tell me
