Semiotic and Reading Film






"Titanic" is one of the expensive film in the world, its record-breaking $200 million dollar budget. Over the last decade, people still talk about how well the film are and the great combination of Leonardo D' Caprio and Kate Winslet in that film.

Directed by James Cameron, "Titanic" contains some of the most spectacular visuals ever to appear on screen, but despite the jaw-dropping special effects on that year, it's the human story that still affects the audience after they leave the theater.

The story begins with Young Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is desperately unhappy. She pending her marriage to wealthy snob Cal Hockley (Billy Zane,) but can't break off the engagement. In a moment of panic, Rose climbs over the rail of the ship to attempt suicidal dive, when an artist,a guy named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio,) who won his ticket in a poker game, intervenes and romance blossoms between the two.
You can see the great plot and storyline here that James Cameron try to bring the early emotion to the audience. Cameron instead chose to take the very basic love story and his focus there. Besides that, we can see the different between the lower class people and the upper class people. They think they more exclusive and more intelectual than lower class people.

Complexities

Young Rose dreads her pending marriage to wealthy snob Cal Hockley (Billy Zane,) but can't break off the engagement. Rose and her mother (Frances Fisher) are broke and need the financial security the marriage will provide.

Backup statement with evidence

The naked picture that Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio,) drawed scene was very powerful scene when the camera zoom in to Young Rose face and continue with the real Young Rose, the old lady who told them the whole story about Titanic.
