《泰坦尼克号》英文影评.docVIP

After seeing the film TITANICT,what impressed me most is that the film is really well written and I love the way it is told in flashback. It begins with a group of present-day treasure hunters exploring the wreckage of the Titanic (which results in some brilliant underwater footage). However They find nothing but an old safe thats completely empty save for a drawing of a woman. An elderly woman suddenly phones them and says shes the woman in the picture which makes them surprising. She then tells the divers and her granddaughter the main plot of the film. One thing that I really like as well about the flashback format is the editing. Each time the film always shifts between the past or present via a match cut, such as a video of the wreckage of the Titanic in the present day changing into the Titanic before it left in 1912 or a close-up shot of young Roses eye to the eye of the elderly Rose in the present. The characters are all really well developed. I love how the film manages to blend some of the real historical figures (I.E. the crew of the Titanic) with fictional characters (I.E. Rose, Jack) and yet it is still incredibly believable, as if this really was a true story. The story is largely focused on the relationship between Rose and Jack, but the film constantly manages to develop other characters. Even the present-day characters are really well developed. The story is very well written, and I love the way how it changes in tone throughout. The film starts off exciting, with many people excited, yet still manages to portray Rose in a somewhat sympathetic role. A large portion of it is the romance between Jack and Rose, but the film manages to have some dramatic scenes, with a large sub-plot of the story being the conflict between Rose and the rest of her upper-class family. The film even manages to include a bit of humour here and there, but doesnt take it too far. However everything changes near the end, when we have the iceberg, and all of a sudden the film
