本文将对《泰坦尼克号》这部电影进行深度解读，揭示其中蕴含的内涵和观影体验。
一、剧情与背景《泰坦尼克号》以1912年泰坦尼克号邮轮的沉船事件为背景，展现了两位主人公杰克和罗斯之间的虐心爱情故事。
整部电影从泰坦尼克号的豪华乘客们登船开始，通过杰克和罗斯的相遇与相知，揭示了社会阶级的差异、价值观的碰撞以及人性的美好和复杂。
二、社会阶级的对比《泰坦尼克号》巧妙地运用社会阶级的对比来展示那个时代的社会现实。
上层社会富人与下层社会的乞丐形成鲜明的对比，深刻地揭示了贫富悬殊带来的社会问题。
尽管在这种极不平等的环境下，杰克和罗斯仍然能够跨越阶级的藩篱，相互帮助与理解，传递出了一种穿越时间和空间的爱与人性的感悟。
三、价值观的冲突影片中，男主角杰克和女主角罗斯的家庭、教育背景和社会地位截然不同，带来了价值观的冲突。
罗斯所受的教育使其深深根植于社会规范和家族的期待中，而杰克则是一个心灵自由且追求真诚的艺术家。
两人的相遇在情感上产生冲击，杰克通过他真挚而激情的爱，引导罗斯逐渐跳出框架束缚，开始关注内心的渴望。
四、人性的美好和复杂在面对死亡的危机中，影片展现了人性的美好和复杂。
在泰坦尼克号即将沉没的最后时刻，有人选择了自私，为了自己的生存而踩踏他人；而也有人选择了拯救他人，甚至舍弃自己的生命。
这些细节让人们深感人性的复杂，也迫使观众深刻思考自己在面临困境时的选择与行为。
五、时代背景与历史意义《泰坦尼克号》对于当时的社会和历史具有重要的影响。
电影以真实的历史事件为背景，展示了人们对于豪华的追求、科技的冲突以及对生命的敬畏。
泰坦尼克号的沉船事件也成为了世界历史上最著名的海难之一，引起了人们对航海安全的关注，并推动了相关争议和立法。
六、视听体验与技术创新《泰坦尼克号》不仅在剧情上给观众带来深刻的思考，同时也在视听体验和技术创新上给观众带来震撼。
影视论人生境界与觉解——以电影《泰坦尼克号》中人物的价值观、爱情观、生命观为例文/杨杰 摘要：每个人在面对着相同的境遇时，会做出不同的选择，这是因为每个人的人生觉解不同。
好莱坞电影《泰坦尼克号》中的人物在面临相同的生命绝境时做出的选择，鲜明地展现了人生境界的各个层次。
穷人与富人的价值观，罗丝、杰克和卡尔的爱情观，还有乘客、船上官员、绅士、乐手们的生命观，都呈现了不同的人生觉解和人生境界。
关键词：泰坦尼克号；人生境界；觉解改编自真实事件的好莱坞电影《泰坦尼克号》问世以来受到了人们的广泛赞誉，影片中鲜明的贫富矛盾、浪漫的爱情故事、人们面对死亡时的人性光辉都给观众带来强烈的感官刺激，化为观众心中强烈的美感，也让人们反思了生命的意义和价值。
本文通过电影中人物的价值观、爱情观和生命观，解读人们对于自身生存实践及其意义的觉解。
一、功利境界的价值观泰坦尼克号这艘巨轮是一个社会的缩影，头等舱、二等舱分别住着贵族、中产阶级和商人，他们享受着丰盛的晚宴、体贴的服务和宽阔的海景。
而三等舱住着去美国的移民，他们只能挤在狭小的四人间，通往上层的楼梯上还有铁门的阻隔，一旦发生意外，最先牺牲的就是他们。
但这些最底层的人并没有因此而陷入阴郁的情绪里，他们也有热闹的舞会，有廉价却足够分量的啤酒，有人与人之间真心的交谈、爽朗的笑声。
罗丝就是在这样的环境里打开了心扉，暂时忘却了上层社会施加给她的压力。
反观上流社会的晚宴，人与人之间的交谈充满了疏离、试探、互相吹捧的同时又暗自各怀鬼胎。
灯火辉煌的宴会上只有没完没了的社交和攀比，美妙空灵的乐声里他们只听得见钱响的声音，这不只是视觉和听觉上的蒙蔽，更是他们的人生觉解被一点一点地消解，被消解到只看得见功利。
罗丝的母亲自私、市侩，只考虑自己是否能继续过着奢华的生活，她在面对女儿的救命恩人杰克时，会在晚宴上当着所有人的面问他“三等舱的生活怎么样？”让杰克下不了台。
当巨轮即将沉没，而救生艇数量远远不够的情形下她关心是救生艇为什么没有头等舱。

这部电影讲述了1912年泰坦尼克号号沉没的故事，以及两个不同社会阶层的年轻人之间的爱情。
影片以其精湛的制作和动人的故事情节成为了影史经典，并在全球取得了巨大的成功。
电影中的社会阶层对比是影片的一个重要主题。
男主角杰克是一个来自贫苦家庭的艺术家，而女主角罗斯则是一个富有的上流社会女孩。
两人在泰坦尼克号上相遇并坠入爱河，但他们之间的社会差异却成为了他们之间关系的巨大障碍。
影片中的爱情主题也是观众最为关注的部分。
杰克和罗斯之间那种跨越社会界限的纯真爱情深深触动了观众的心灵，使人们对爱情和生命的意义有了更深刻的思考。
影片还展现了当时的历史背景和文化符号，让观众更加深入地了解了那个时代的生活和价值观。
这部电影也对当代文化产生了深远的影响，成为了许多人对爱情和人生追求的重要参考。
电影《泰坦尼克号》不仅仅是一部爱情电影，更是一部涵盖了社会阶层、爱情、历史与文化的经典之作。
它在文化层面的影响和时代意义将持续影响着观众，并且成为了许多人心中永恒的经典之作。
《泰坦尼克号》深度解读从爱情到历史的多维视角《泰坦尼克号》是一部备受推崇的经典电影，该电影不仅展现了一个动人的爱情故事，更融入了历史和社会议题。
从多维度的视角来解读这部电影，我们可以深入思考其中的情感、社会背景和历史意义。
一、情感之旅《泰坦尼克号》的主线剧情是一段跨越社会阶级的爱情。
罗斯和杰克来自不同社会背景，他们的相遇就像是上天的安排。
罗斯的家庭虽然富裕，但她却感到被束缚，而杰克则是个自由奔放的绘画家。
他们的爱情在船上迅速升温，逐渐超越了社会的禁锢和人们对他们关系的误解。
尽管最终他们无法在一起，但他们的爱情成为人们心中永恒的传说。
二、社会背景的折射《泰坦尼克号》所描绘的社会背景是19世纪初工业革命时期的美国。
从电影中我们可以看到富有与贫穷之间的巨大鸿沟。
上流社会的人们过着奢华的生活，而下层人民则备受压迫。
电影中描绘的泰坦尼克号船上有穷人区和富人区的对比，生动展现了当时社会阶级的差距。
这一设计提醒我们关注社会的不公平现象，同时也呼吁人们关注贫困群体的生存状况。
三、历史意义的探索《泰坦尼克号》拍摄于20世纪，该片在影史上占有重要地位。
它对于历史文化的影响可以从几个方面来考量。
首先，电影栩栩如生地还原了泰坦尼克号的沉船细节，让人们对这一历史事件有了更为深刻的了解。
其次，电影中展现出的社会景观和人物形象也反映了当时社会的风貌，帮助观众回顾和理解历史进程。
最后，电影让人们对当时航海技术和安全意识的不足有了更为清晰的认识，从而引发了对于船舶安全的关注。
四、影片的艺术价值除了情感和历史意义，电影《泰坦尼克号》还具有很高的艺术价值。
导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆凭借出色的视觉效果和剧情安排，成功打造了一部感人至深的作品。
电影中精美的服装和精细的场景布置，无一不展现出导演对细节的追求。
同时，片中的音乐也成为经典，令人陶醉。
这种细腻和用心，成就了电影的艺术魅力，也为其赢得了无数观众。
总的来说，《泰坦尼克号》是一部集浪漫爱情、社会反思和历史探索于一体的电影。
电影如何展现社会阶层的冲突与矛盾电影作为一种强大的艺术表现形式，常常能够以生动且深刻的方式展现社会阶层之间的冲突与矛盾。
通过精彩的剧情、丰富的角色塑造以及细腻的场景描绘，电影将社会阶层的差异和对立直观地呈现在观众面前，引发人们的思考和共鸣。
在许多电影中，经济因素是导致社会阶层冲突的重要根源。
比如，一些影片展现了富人与穷人在生活水平、消费能力上的巨大差距。
富人住在豪华别墅，享受着高端的服务和奢华的生活，而穷人则挣扎在破旧的贫民窟，为了一日三餐而奔波劳累。
这种经济上的不平等在电影《寄生虫》中体现得淋漓尽致。
影片中，金基宇一家住在阴暗潮湿的半地下室，生活拮据，而朴社长一家则住在宽敞明亮的豪宅，过着富足的生活。
金基宇一家通过各种手段进入朴社长家工作，表面上看似和谐，但实际上却暗藏着阶层之间的猜疑、嫉妒和矛盾。
最终，这些冲突在一系列事件中爆发，揭示了贫富差距所带来的人性扭曲和社会问题。
教育资源的分配不均也是社会阶层冲突的一个关键方面。
在一些电影中，来自不同阶层的孩子所接受的教育质量有着天壤之别。
富家子弟能够进入顶尖的私立学校，享受优质的师资和先进的教学设施，而贫困家庭的孩子往往只能就读于条件简陋、师资匮乏的公立学校。
电影《起跑线》就围绕着这一主题展开。
拉吉和米塔夫妇为了让女儿皮娅能够接受良好的教育，想尽办法想要挤进所谓的名校。
他们先是搬到学区房，试图融入上流社会，却因自身的阶层背景而处处碰壁。
这不仅展现了教育资源在不同阶层之间的不公平分配，也揭示了阶层之间的文化差异和隔阂。
社会地位和权力的差异同样是电影中常见的阶层冲突元素。
处于上层社会的人们往往掌握着更多的权力和资源，能够影响甚至决定社会的规则和走向。
而底层民众则常常处于被支配、被忽视的地位，他们的声音很难被听到，权益也难以得到保障。
电影《小丑》中的主人公亚瑟，生活在社会底层，遭受着各种欺凌和不公。
他梦想成为一名喜剧演员，但却因为社会阶层的限制而无法实现自己的梦想。
好莱坞电影中的“普世价值”思潮对大学生价值观的消极影响及应对举措一、“普世价值”思潮的界定普世价值思潮来源于欧洲文艺复兴和启蒙运动，美国于上世纪七八十年代，就利用好莱坞电影四处推销以美国式“自由主义”和“民主主义”为核心的“普世价值”。
在我国，“普世价值”思潮繁盛于2008年，美国利用我国成功举办奥运会的契机及5.12抗震救灾时期，通过买通媒体，制造舆论等不良手段，影响了当时我国包括知识分子在内的一大批人。
“普世价值”思潮具体表现在思想上企图以西方的资产阶级价值观为圭臬，1废除马克思主义的指导地位，鼓吹思想国际化、多元化，干扰社会主义核心价值体系的建立；经济制度上企图搞垮我国社会主义初级阶段以公有制为主体的经济基础，鼓吹中国特色社会主义市场经济制度就是西方的资本主义市场经济，为全盘私有化制造舆论；在国家政治上，妄图分裂我国统一，背后大力支持台独、藏独、敌对势力。
故“普世价值”思潮实质就是根植于西方资本主义社会土壤的、以西方传统价值观念为核心，为西方资产阶级政治利益服务的一种西方价值观念体系。
二、好莱坞电影中“普世价值”思潮对大学生价值观的影响（一）好莱坞电影中的“普世价值观”解读关于好莱坞电影中“普世价值”的研究由来已久，国内外学者均有建树。
我国学者曾指出，“普世价值”在好莱坞电影中无处不在，通过不同类型的电影形式不仅展现了美国文化的多元特性，还为“美国梦”跨越“世界梦”的实现提供了根源和动力，是将“美国梦”的“普世”意义无限放大的政治工具。
例如曾收获11项奥斯卡奖的影片《泰坦尼克号》利用一场沉船意外和对船上不同阶级隔阂的批判，演绎了一个人类不幸的凄美爱情故事，是好莱坞宣扬普世价值的经典之作。
来自低等舱的底层人民Jack贫困但浪漫而自由，住在头等舱的Rose高贵富有却厌倦腐败，向往“自由、平等、民主”，完整的体现了美国普世思想。
在纯真爱情、真挚人性和坚定信念的外衣下，肯定资本主义社会，宣传“美国梦”，宣传美国普世主义的精神文化。
电影《泰坦尼克号》对人性的诠释《泰坦尼克号》整部电影不仅气势恢宏，而且更加注重描写细节。
通过灾难降临时，面对死亡每个人物的细节描述，为我们诠释了人性中的真善美。
影片的主角杰克和露丝，本是两个不同阶层的人。
男主角杰克是一个穷画家，靠赌博赢来了一张三等舱的船票踏上了旅行的行程；女主角露丝是一位坐着头等舱的贵族小姐，二者在船上能够摒弃世俗偏见坠入爱河，尤其是在游轮撞上冰山，最终沉没的时刻。
杰克不惜牺牲自己，为露丝赢得生存的机会，不仅为我们展现了一个凄美的爱情故事，更是诠释了人性中的真善美。
电影《泰坦尼克号》，我们在为露丝和杰克的爱情感动之余，更会被影片中表现出来的人性光辉所深深折服。
1912年的一天，豪华游轮泰坦尼克号终于试水，开始了它的第一次旅程，这艘游轮由于工艺先进，规模宏大，从制造的那一刻就号称“永不沉没的轮船”。
但是，命运恰恰跟它开了一个天大的玩笑。
由于在新的引擎还没有磨合顺利的情况下，船长就开始全速前进，最终导致游轮在遇到冰山时，因船速过快来不及转弯，撞上冰川最终导致沉没。
由于没有足够的救生汽艇，导致船上的两千多人最终有一半命丧大海。
在轮船沉没，面对死亡来临的一刻，不同人们的不同表现，为我们展现了人性的光辉与丑恶。
并且通过主角露丝和杰克感人故事，阐述并升华了人性中的真善美。
一、诠释电影《泰坦尼克号》中人性的真善美面对着轮船沉没这个巨大的灾难，每个人的表现也不尽相同。
船长和船员们，在慌乱与死亡的威胁下，依然严格遵守规则，保持绅士作风，让妇女和儿童先走。
泰坦尼克号轮船在与冰山相撞到沉没的整个过程中，船员们都恪尽职守，坚守在自己的岗位上，完成了属于他们应有的责任。
以船上的表演乐队为例，在华莱士的带领下，在混乱的时刻强压心中的恐惧，依然在坚持演奏，试图希望为慌乱中的乘客带来一点点的心理安慰。
所有的水手们在有条不紊安排着乘客撤离，这些所有的表现，不仅体现了船员们的高度责任与素质，更是人性中的真善美的体现。

52外国电影评论Forein Film Review解析英美电影中的人物形象——以《泰坦尼克号》中的配角为例邓颜蕙 程凯文还记得曲终人散复而归来直至船沉人亡的音乐艺术家们吗？还记得本已获救却为爱弃生而宁愿与丈夫卧榻面对死亡的施特劳斯夫人吗？还记得那位暴发户出身却不乏爱心的女贵族吗？从单纯的影视艺术创作的角度来看，这几个角色的故事似乎很单薄，缺少主人公那样的饱满形象描写。
相对于主人公被加工过的艺术形象和故事来说，这几位配角都是真实存在的。
《泰坦尼克号》对他们的刻画主要放在了人物道德心性方面，并从某个侧面或者角度展现了这些配角们同样波澜壮阔的人生历程。
一、 传递无限情感的音乐艺术家生活的姿态不仅要面对其中复杂多面的万千气象，更要以平静的心性来达到波澜不惊的状态。
平复心性的可能有多种，但音乐浓郁的气息绝对可以赋予任何人最美的享受，即使这种享受是一种无边的沉沦或消亡。
在《泰坦尼克号》这部作品中，音乐艺术不是一种简单低至到仅为贵族表演，而是一种崇高的情怀。
对于西方贵族阶级就餐时的音乐艺术享受，本不需要多说什么。
因为这是其价值观念的一部分，是深入到骨子里中。
对于音乐艺术家来说，他们进行音乐表演或许是生活的需要，但是这种艺术却是神圣不可侵犯的。
这部作品中，音乐艺术家们的第一次出场是在贵族们的就餐时刻。
宛转悠扬的小提琴声给人一种悠远的享受，也使得就餐成为一种对生活的美好品味。
在贵族们觥筹交错、嬉笑言谈的过程中，他们的音乐表演简单而极致。
或是熙熙攘攘中最平静的倾诉，或是在讲述“昨日之日不可留，今日之日须臾期”。
从细微无巨的生活琐碎来看，贵族们从未曾徜徉平淡的阳光，也未曾感慨幸福的不易。
他们在意的永远是一种崇高身份的享受，他们的言谈举止要完全释放一种“贵族独有的气息”。

电影《泰坦尼克号》美学浅析作者：陈泽郡来源：《科学大众·教师版》2021年第05期摘要：本文以电影《泰坦尼克号》为研究对象，通过对电影中时代背景下的梦幻之船、维多利亚式服饰、人物品性和故事情节等论述，分析了电影中展现的社会美、形式美、艺术美、自然美等不同的美学形态。
关键词：泰坦尼克号; 社会美; 形式美; 艺术美; 自然美中图分类号：J901 文献标识码：A 文章编号：1006-3315（2021）5-133-002“You jump，I jump！”《泰坦尼克号》里主角杰克与露丝这一爱情誓言一度轰动世界，成为了永恒的经典。
这部电影不仅给观众带来了极为冲击的视听盛宴，而且引发了人们对爱情、人性、生死的思考。
而美学理论恰恰在其中担当了重要角色，将美的元素通过对各个感官上的刺激给予了观众以美感的体验，可谓电影史上的一大“绝唱”。
一、形式美与社会美共同构建时代背景（一）“梦幻之船”——时代象征电影依据史实，将20世纪初的英国作为故事发生的背景。
在工业革命的骤然推动下，英国的工业生产直冲巅峰，领先世界。
电影中的泰坦尼克号是当时世界上最大的一艘奥林匹克级巨大豪华客轮，由英国白星航运公司制造，有着“不沉之舟”、“梦幻客轮”的美誉。
泰坦尼克号游轮的内部陈设将富丽堂皇一词展现得淋漓尽致，这些因素也恰恰构成了泰坦尼克号的外在形式美。
室内游泳馆、健美区、土耳其浴室、藏书楼和壁球室均被列为贵族人士的基础设施，更是采用了精致的木质镶板铺满头等舱的休憩室，各处都充斥着高档家具和高级装饰的气息。
抬眼尽是奢华，尽显“凡尔赛宫”之水准。
泰坦尼克号可以说是代表了20世纪初英国工业革命巅峰时期，人们企图用机器掌控世界的野心下的乌托邦。
在西方科学技术不断进步、工业生产不断发展，堪称国泰民安的情形下，泰坦尼克号这一“贵族宫殿”就是当时人们自负傲慢且不断膨胀的产物。
电影中造船者安德鲁斯对贵族们担保，他所造的船“坚固牢靠”，是“不沉之船”，这恰恰为泰坦尼克号沉没的结局埋下了伏笔。
《泰坦尼克号》与社会阶级与爱情的悲剧作为历史上最著名的沉船事件之一，《泰坦尼克号》凭借其深深刻画的人物形象、真实感人的故事情节和精心打造的布景，成为了一部永远难以忘怀的经典电影。
该片通过展现社会阶级的分化和情感纠葛，向观众展示了一个关于爱情的悲剧。
本文将探讨《泰坦尼克号》是如何将社会阶级和爱情的冲突融于一部电影中，并从中体现出悲剧色彩。
第一部分：社会阶级的鸿沟《泰坦尼克号》背景设定在1912年，这个时期的社会阶级分化相当严重。
船上的乘客可以分为上层阶级和下层阶级，他们的社会地位、财富和生活方式都有着巨大的差异。
上层阶级的代表是罗斯（Rose）和卡尔多（Caledon Hockley）夫妇以及一些富有的企业家。
他们穿着昂贵的衣物，享受奢华的生活，他们的存在凸显了社会的不平等。
相比之下，下层阶级的代表是贫穷的舱房乘客和劳工。
他们生活拮据，工作辛苦，每天都在为生计奔波。
电影中角色杰克（Jack）是一个出身贫寒的画家，他的存在反映了下层社会阶层的困境。
第二部分：阶级冲突与爱情的萌芽在这个社会阶级差异极大的环境中，罗斯和杰克的爱情渐渐萌芽。
他们属于两个不同的世界，但却在船上相遇了。
他们开始互相吸引，逐渐建立起深厚的情感纽带，既是阶级之间的冲突，也是纯粹的爱情的产物。
这段爱情的发展引发了社会阶级之间的激烈冲突。
罗斯的未婚夫卡尔多非常不满意她与杰克的接触，并试图阻止他们的交往。
卡尔多代表的上层社会不容许一个贫穷的艺术家进入他们的圈子，因此他奉行保守的观念，并试图将罗斯与杰克隔离开来。
第三部分：命运的安排和悲剧的发展尽管遭遇到了阶级和人们的反对，罗斯和杰克的爱情并没有停止。
然而，命运对他们进行了残酷的考验。
当泰坦尼克号遇到冰山并开始下沉时，电影中展现了无法言喻的混乱和悲剧。
船上只有有限的救生艇，而上层阶级得到了优先救援的机会，下层阶级乘客被置于了生死的边缘。
罗斯因为杰克的爱和他的勇敢而放弃了一个救生艇的位置，他们决定一同面对死亡。
浅谈电影《泰坦尼克号》的美学意义被誉为二十世纪电影艺术“终结者”的《泰坦尼克号》，在人们心中无疑是一个神话般的存在，不管是影片中再现的浓郁的海难气氛，仍是表现的富有传奇色彩的浪漫爱情预言，都给观众强烈的感官刺激，最终衍化为观众心中强烈的美感，能够说，《泰坦尼克号》是卡梅隆大师送给全世界观众的一场视觉盛宴。
一、社会美中内容与形式之美的有机结合社会美是现实生活中美的存在形式之一，要紧包括人物、事件、场景等等，所谓“事件”、“场景”也是以人物活动为中心。
社会美是人的自由制造的表现，提倡的是踊跃确信的生活形象。
围绕社会美的实质，咱们就需要结合影片中的人物加以分析。
在《泰坦尼克号》这部影片中，社会美的一个方面——形式美在故事一开始就抓住了观众的眼球：泰坦尼克号上的男士都是穿着优雅、干净的礼服，女士都穿着坠地长裙，紧身的胸衣，还带着蝴蝶结、领带、帽子等，无不透露出电影人物的外表特点：气质高雅、身份尊贵、有着良好的教养。
这些二十年代欧洲古典衣饰，给公共化休闲衣饰流行的二十世纪末的观众带来强烈的美感。
除去人物衣饰，影片中的主人公是青春靓丽的俊男美女，男主角莱昂纳多&iddot;迪卡普尼奥年轻英俊、充满朝气，女主角凯特·温丝莱特面貌漂亮、气质优雅都令观众为之深深迷恋，“明星的体貌、气质、性格，无不与观众心目中早已潜在希求的美好形象异质同构”[1]。
除去人物所带给观众的形式上的美感，人物的性格、精神风貌、品质等等内在特质也给观众带来独特的内容美。
人的美不能只之外表来看，是和人的本质紧密联系在一路的，人的宝贵特性在于自由制造，在制造的进程中表现出人的伶俐、质朴、勇敢、老实等，因这人的美不等于长相漂亮，说某人长相漂亮只是从形式方面来看的，一个人的美应该是和人的内在品质紧密联系的。
[2]影片中的男主角是一名人浪艺术家，尽管穷困，可是活泼伶俐而乐观向上，对待爱情也坚贞不渝，为了自己心爱的人，能够舍弃一切哪怕是生命。
从泰坦尼克号看美国阶级分层Introduction对电影《泰坦尼克号》,新闻媒体的“炒作”如海浪逐波,迅速将“泰片”的身价提高,形成了空前的热潮。
同一题材的小说、论述、纪实文学、写真、画册、访谈录等等层出不穷,在国外甚至形成了“泰坦尼克学”。
全球性的“泰坦尼克号热潮”把一股消费文化波浪推到了我们面前。
灾难与爱情、生与死构成狂潮,冲击着全球票房。
《泰坦尼克号》的票房收人如今已经击败《侏罗纪公园》,突破12亿美元大关,获得了商业意义上的极大成功。
应当承认,《泰坦尼克号》的制作,场面之宏大,情节之紧张,细节之丰富,演员之靓丽,导演之匠心,摄影之精良,确为电影史所罕见。
沉人海底已86年的泰坦尼克号过去多次搬上银幕,生死离别的爱情与面临灾难的无助一直是其重点所在。
在《泰坦尼克号》中,导演詹姆士·卡梅隆依然沿袭了过去的思路,不过他给予了这部电影以更多的浪漫,对人性和社会的矛盾也有更尖锐的表现。
这部影片在底得人们眼泪的同时,也给了观众很多的启发与自省。
在泰坦尼克号中我们看到的不仅是一部凄美的爱情电影，更能从这部影片中看到当时的美国社会阶级分层。
一、从船舱等级看阶级分层“让妇女和儿童先走”。
在泰坦尼克号上实践的社会规范也许这样表述可能更准确一些：“头等舱和二等舱的妇女和儿童优先。
”在“泰坦尼克号”沉船事件中,阶级和性别所属决定了一个人的生死存亡。
在拍摄影片的过程中,卡梅隆特别注意挖掘这次灾难背后的社会与文化方面的深层次原因。
卡梅隆仔细研究了“泰坦尼克号”沉船事件中幸存者的构成,居然得出了惊人的结果。
“泰坦尼克号”上的轮机舱的一个船员,在这场灾难中幸存的机会只有10%,而一个头等舱的男子,幸存机会却达到了50%,头等舱的女子的幸存机会更高达100%,而与之形成鲜明对比的是,一个三等舱的女子幸存机会仅有25%。
从这里可以看出,阶级差别与性别差异成为一个人是否幸存的重要因素。
有伤亡统计,三等舱里的76个小孩仅仅救出来23个。

The story takes place on a luxury cruise ship, including the hero, many people joined the "Titanic" maiden voyage, shows a period beautiful love story of life and death, love and hate in front of the world. Among them, the heroine Rose was a daughter of the rich, accompanied by his mother and her fiance Carl on the ship. The hero Jack is a dissolute unruly young artist, and he won a lower class tickets by gambling at the same time. In the course of the voyage of the ship, Rose was reluctant to marry Carl and was extremely disgusted with the hypocrisy of the upper class, so she had the idea of suicide. When she was going to jump, she was saved by Jack. After then Jack led Rose to the lower class party and Jack also painted for Rose. With the contact of the two people, they fell in love gradually. At this time, the Titanic collided with the iceberg. The sudden disaster tested the love between them. After panic and struggle, Jack lifted Rose up with a small piece of wood. But he was in the icy waters, and frozen to death. In the film, the love of the hero and the heroine was influenced and restraint of the class. It is difficult to break the cage of morality and freedom. This story contains the conflict between the rich and the poor, class consciousness and the danger of falling. The theme of the disaster has secilarized and commercalized to the characterization of the human nature and the class nature.2.The Phenomenon of the TitanicFor "Titanic", the hype from the news and the media like wave by wave. Increases the worth of the Titanic rapidly and formed an unprecedented boom. There are lots of novels, papers, literatures, photos, picture albums, interviews and so on at the same theme. Global "Titanic" phenomenon pushing a culture of consumer wave in front of us.Disaster and love, life and death, impact the global box office. The income of the box office of "Titanic" now beated the "Jurassic park", breaking through the $1.2 billion, has a great success in the sense of the business. It should be admitted that the production of the Titanic’s grand scene, plot tension, rich details, b eautiful actors, director of the originality, excellent photography is rarely seen in movie history. With the Titanic's popularity, there was a titanic phenomenon in the world. "Titanic" directed by James Cameron who derected the’Terminator’ and the ‘True Lies’, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. 86 years ago, sank to the bottom of the ocean’sTitanic was onto the screen for many times, losses of love and the helplessness of disaster has been the focus. In the "Titanic", the director James Cameron still followed the past ideas, but he gave the film to more romantic, human and social contradictions also have more sharp performance. The film give audiences lots of inspiration and introspection and also won the tears at the same time.Space-time conversion is a means of expression that many art films specialize in using. There is no doubt that the 'Titanic' also has "the past" and "now" two spacetimes. In terms of "the past", Titanic’s sinking of this historical event itself, has the heartbreak and the tragic effect. On April 15, 1912, the so-called "unsinkable sea fortress" and "dream boat" British luxury giant boat Titanic’s first shipping hit the iceberg in the north Atlantic voyage. Only two hours, it became an “ice wreck”. There are 2228 peopl e on the ship, but only 705 of the people survived. In terms of “now”, in the film 'Titanic', director Cameron strives to combine an immortal classical love legend with this painful historical disaster. The scene that thousands of people fell into the water, a grand scene of tragic shipwreck, hundreds of hands for help under the lifeboat, there is no doubt that there is a great shock in the sence of visual and audio. Rose and Jack’s love story begins on the boat and ended in the ice water, and let the movie get rid of the pattern of record the event simply. It also makes it possible to acquire the artistic charm of the first seven films of the titanic. In order to strengthen the sense of reality, Cameron imported a treasure hunters’ real action at the beginn ing of the film. When the wrecker take out the fictional portraits of Rose by seawater corrosion of the safe box, everything is no longer false. And when the old lady was in the real environment to recall the past that was dosen’t exsit, everything actual ization logically. The director’s pursuit of the details and accuracy, increased its historical authenticity and credibility. The film use the “heart of the ocean” be a mysterious haunt and as a clue of the narrative structure skillfully and delicately. It satisfied the audio-visual image strives to the perfect, and it is also a great pleasure for watching.The Titanic's success in art is that it is a historical disaster that is different from the fiction. Hollywood movie has always focused on the character and put them in the most important position. In the film, the hero and the heroine's image of them is very touching. In terms of character image shaping, 'Titanic’ is not a very successful one. For example, the three characters Rose Jack and Carl’s c haracters are littel vague. Although she admire the modernist painting of Picasso, and discuss about Freud occasionally, but it lack of the behavior of the evidence like Anna hate Karenina(‘Anna Karenina’). Jack's "enjoy every day" and his artistic talent only complement with each other to show his lovely place. But he is not smart enough, not resorceful enough in the film. Except Carl framed Jack's money to run away, the filmalso lack of the description of his emptiness spiritual , vicious humanity and so on. Although the whole plot of the film is fictional, the director also has deficiencies because of the individual horizon, and there are some defects in individual details. But because the details of the Titanic is extremely real, and fully used the contrast approach, so the film was highly praised by the audience."Titanic" also combine with a variety of contrast, all kinds of contrast at a heat, received a very good artistic effect. Except the gender comparison, comparison of the first class cabin and the third class cabin , comparison of poverty and wealth, comparison of different classes and the comparison of the emotions in the film, there is also a comparison of the space and time, details and scenes, etc. For example, For example, the time contrast of centuries, it has the memories of the beginning of the century, and it also has a outlook for the future, greatly enhanced the film's heavy sense of the history ; The huge spatial comparison and the comparison of details and scenes, gives auduience a beautiful spectacular impression; The comparison of bliss and exteremly sad, resulting the audience's psychological contrast and emotional agitation.Thus, the two themes of love and the perils of the sea, 'Titanic' is not just technical demonstration, and not simply reveal the emotional ups and downs. It combines them together, so it makes the tragedy become a beautiful story, and obtained a commercial and artistic double success. The combination of the shipwreck and the plot of love makes the whole film evolve under a suspense tense and a rapidly changing rhythm. The whole process of wrecking was thrilling. But because of the hero and heroine's love life, passing a traditional but everlasting and lovely sentiment. People always like to reveal the old when they are feeling the history. Moreover this dream is so moving. The film is three hours and ten minutes long, but people do not feel tired after watching. So we must have to recognize the wisdom of the producers and creators.3.The class analysis of Titanic.We see the ‘Titanic’ is not only a beautiful love movie, more we can see that the American social stratification from this film.3.1 Analysis of cabin rank.The hero Jack is from a poor family in the bottom of society, the heroine Rose is the lady from the nobility. The two young people born with a natural contradiction, but they fell in love. Rose has a fiance, her fiance Carle is the son of the steel king. Rose and her fiance Karl live in this luxury cruise ship in the first class and the poor boy Jack lives in the third class. So the story begins in such a class conflict. Theemergence and development of the contradiction between the opposing classes will direct this wonderful story. "Let the women and children go first". The social norms on the Titanic maybe more accurate to express: "the women and children of the first class and the second class go first.”Class and gender determines a person's life and death in the Titanic sinking. In the process of filming, Cameron pays special attention to excavate the deep reasons of social and cultural aspects behind the disaster.He studied the composition of the survivors of the wreck of the Titanic carefully, and came up with a surprising result. A crew of the Titanic, has 10% chance of surviving in the disaster. And a first-class cabin man, the chance of survival has reached 50%, the survival chances of the women in first-class cabin was 100%. In contrast, the survival chances of the women in a third-class cabin was only 25%. From this, we can see that the class differences and the gender differences have become an important factor of a person in the survival. The casualties statistics said that , there are 76 children in the third class cabin, but only 23 children have been saved. In the night "women and children first", the rate of the third class cabin children's loss is higher than the first class cabin men. When the water is rising rapidly, some exports of iron door has been locked, banned the people in the third class cabin to go out. According to the only escaped third class cabin waiter memorizes that the third class people are limited to the deck until a quarter past 1’o clock. This is a kind of satire on the class of human rights.“Mr. Dawson is joining us from the third class. He was of some assistance to my fiancee last night.”The actor stressed that jack is from the third class intentional. Money can bring you into a kind of social class but this kind of social mobility is not promoting the development of the society. Only the hope, freedom and equality of the social environment is advisable, and it can promote the development of the society. It is diffiult for lower classes to flow upward. But how about the higher classes flow downward? It is more difficult.3.2 Unbalanced allocation of social resources.The Titanic is ready to set sail, in the boarding time, the people of the upper class filled with a variety of luggage, And then transported to the luxury suites of first class. In the contrast, Jake carry a small bag on board`. Before entering the society, what they have is not the same. After boarding, the scene is switched between the first class cabin and the third class cabin. They have a serious imbalance of social resources. Even in the social public domain—deck, The resources they have are not the same. The third class passengers can only look up. Jack's friends have a saying:“Well, that's typical. First-class dogs come down here to take a shit. Let us know where we rank in the scheme of things. Like we could forget.”In reality, many people like the lower class people, sleeping in their "small spread"peacefully and then enjoy their own life.The British aristocrat Rose's mother asked Jack the situation of the third class cabin in a luxurious first-class restaurant inte ntionally:“Tell us the accommodations in steerage, Mr. Dawson.I hear they're quite good on this ship.”And Jack replied humorously:“The best I've seen, ma'am. Hardly any rats.”Jack is not the same, maybe he is not eager to enter the upper class, but he is eager to have his own favorite things - Rose. He is always ready. Finally, Jack went into his beloved woman’s heart with his talent of painting, and hooked Rose's heart tightly.3.3Analysis the American Classes by ‘Dream Ship’ .The Titanic is known as the "dream ship", it embodies Embodies the capitalist ideals, values, beliefs and other ideological things. The whole capitalist society is a larger Titanic. As the “industry miracle in the history of the world”, the course of Titanic from Southampton, UK to New York. Suggests the values of Americans. But the construction of the "Titanic", is like the Hollywood blockbuster. Focus on the technological achievements of modern industrial revolution. reflected the development of the bourgeoisie society conceited or arrogant under the support of money and technology. Ironically, The development of this "smug" of capitalism has led to the destruction of the Titanic.The shipwreck incident of Titanic is the the world's first event to shake twentieth century. As the world's most luxurious ship, Titanic is regarded as unsinkable fortress on the sea. The destruction of the Titanic is reminiscent of the fate of capitalist society, and the metaphorical relationship can be seen at a glance. As the masterpiece of the shipbuilding industry, the Titanic's displacement reaches 66000 ton. The display, decoration firm structure and waterproof inside the ships are very luxurious. And watertight cabins are more and better, the ship is relatively rare at that time. At the time, At the time, there is nothing more than "Titanic" such a man-made largest and most luxurious passenger ship launching voyage can show the mastery of the human nature. But the "Great Boat" suddenly sank into the sea, and ended in a intricated nightmare disastrously, just leaving people a dream and a kind of memories. It should be said that the progress of technological has made the first 20 years of twentieth century development rapidly and the bourgeoisie is also complacent. But with the Titanic’s sinking, it laughed mercilessly about the man’s so-called conquest. And the human mind was badly hurt. It has a profound influence of capitalist society.The tragedy of the Titanic is just like the bustling capitalist society. The fate of sudden subversion has awaken some of western capitalist countries. The luxury ship can be said to be a symbol and it’s an allegory of the fate of the American culture and capitalist culture. As Cameron said: “Now the Titanic is a cautionary tale, it’s a mirror that mak es people scan themselves all the time, and it’s also a legendary that enduringthe faith, courage and sacrifice. ”When the captain praised of the Titanic, he said: “I'm the king of the world! She's the largest moving object ever made by the hand of man in all history. And our master shipbuilder, Mr. Andrews, here, designed her from the keel plates up. I may have knocked her together, but the idea was Mr. Ismay's. He envisioned a steamer so grand in scale and so luxurious in its appointments that its supremacy would never be challenged. And here she is willed into solid reality.”To be able to drive the Titanic is the greatest honor of everyone's life. “If we were to get into New York on Tuesday night and surprise them all. Make the morning papers. Retir e with a bang, eh, E.J.?”The opposition between the first class cabin and the third class cabin reflects a kind of class barrier and class discrimination. The feudal aristocracy Rose's mother in a luxurious first-class cabin restaurant ask Jack the phenomenon of the third class intentionally , and Jack replied humorously: "Very good, hardly any rats" . And Jack did not feel uncomfortable in the first class cabin, instead he kissed Rose’s hand like a hypocrisy nobility. Then he explain: "learn it in the movies, and I've always wanted to try it." This division also represents a right of life.3.4 Hierarchy and class prejudiceDifferent classes, different cabins could not have made the hero and the heroine fall in love. But they finally made the biggest adventure of their life--- to break the fetters of secular, both fall in love. Rose and Jack Dawson’s "love first" conception broke the distinction between the first class cabin and the third class cabin, reflects a distinct across class phenomenon and romanticism. For the love of the different classes, Carl framed jack's character by losing the necklace of “The Heart of the Ocean”. And Rose’s mother sees Jack as a dangerous bug. The film does not emphasize on the disparity between the rich and the poor specially, but highlighted the different way of life caused by the class difference. It is the difference between the hypocrisy and outmoded lifestyle and the free and changeable lifestyle causes the start of two people’s love. In the eyes of Rose, Jack is not a symbol of poverty but freedom and kindness ; and in the eyes of Jack, except the beauty and nobility, Rose is also depressed, struggling in the social. This plot makes myraid audience fascinated, and poured into too much sadness and regrets. Class phenomenon is the most common phenomenon of the contemporary world. We believe that the criticism of the film on class discrimination, will undoubtedly have a strong practical significance at the end of twentieth century. In a sense, the success of Titanic also lies in its standing in the position of the human nature and humanity to criticize the class culture, hierarchy and class bias. So it win the audience, win the oriented of cultural consumption, win the huge box office valueWhen Jack and Rose met in the deck, Jack persuaded the Rose get down fromthe ship bar , Ruth reveals herself as a superior:“I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions...yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice with no one to pull me back. No one who cared or even noticed.”Rose looks forward to Jack’s free life, and she learnt how to spit from Jack:“Can you show me? Teach me to ride like a man. And chew tobacco like a man. And spit like a man.”We have to account for the classism of the ‘Titanic’ especially that the specific time is in 1912 at the beginning of the century. In the end of the 20th century today, the class discrimination and th e racial discrimination’s phenomenon has not existed in a sharp and clear form as it was at the beginning of the century. But that does not mean that the class does not exist. On the one hand, at that time, the class difference was as the film revealed is the legacy of feudal aristocracy, Ruth's mother instead of the captain and Molly Brown has a serious hierarchy; On the other hand, The ruling method of the bourgeoisie has also been greatly improved. According to the relevant information, since the emergence of this tragic event in the history of human shipping , the first class cabin and the third class cabin distinguished people only according to the price. Nowadays there are still existed huge price differences everywhere such as the aircraft cabin, the residential districts, the higher education tuition, etc. The art plot of the film depends on the class difference, it raised the problem and did not answer the questions perfectly. It cause a kind of suspense in the future is also an art effect of this film.3.5 The symbol of the American spiritThe young Jack Dawson can be said to be the representative of the American culture. He won the third class tickets by bet, and with his freedom and self-confidence attracted Rose. When he was on the Titanic, he shouted excitedly:“We're riding in high style now. We're a couple of regular swells. Like I told you, I go to America to be millionaire.”This third class poor young boy although penniless, but full of artist passion and romantic art. He loves life and cherish his freedom. In his eyes, life is like a kind of lucky game. He taught Rose to spit slobber freely, and his lively nature makes Rose feel eager, fresh and excited. And Rose felt the beauty of life and the vitality of life with Jack.Though Molly Brown in "Titanic" is only a supporting role, but he is a individual character. As a "upstart", she is a representative of the bourgeois image, and there is indeed such a person in real life. She wanted to be close to the feudal aristocracy, but the feudal aristocracy thinks she is vulgar. However in the play she support Jack against the upper class and save the drowning man after sinking, shows the beautiful side of her personality. There is a real connection between the two aspects of her lifeand the changes of life. She and young Jake constitutes the representative of the "American dream", and become the symbol of American value. It is also a guide to the American ruling class objectively.Pure girl Ruth was born in a family decline Britain feudal aristocracy, together with her mother and her fiancee Carl boarded the luxurious and comfortable Titanic ship. But Rose hated the son of steel king’s hypocrisy, affectation, arrogance and snobbish and doesn’t wants to marry him at all. Rose’s mothe r is particular about the suitable and force her to accept this marriage. Rose does not seem to have any common language with Karl ,and their taste of art also very different. Carl doesn’t care about Rose’s feeling and in order to win the favor of Rose, he uses his own way of understanding, it’s also a typical bourgeois way, sent Rose a necklace of 54 carat blue diamond-- "The Heart of the Ocean" .But money and material can not impress Rose's heart. She deeply felt tedious and unhappy.At the end of the film, when a policeman asked Rose, "what's your name please, miss?” Rose did not hesitated to show her identity with Jack:“Dawson, Rose Dawson.”She threw "The Heart of the Ocean" into the sea. And at the age of 101 she still painted her fingernails bright red. It have shown a change in values, her love of life and her true love memories.4. Conclusion'Titanic' selected such a perspective, respect history, facing the reality of the contradiction at that time. It is not just a love movie, because it did not avoid sharp class contradictions, And give the hero and the heroine different class status to conceiving touching and tearful love story between them. If in a different view, it can show the emotional complication between them similarly. But that will obviously lose the sensibility and authenticity of history.Titanic, its achievement is to take the shipwreck as the main line. Reflects the inequality of the society in the love story at that time, and reveals the essence of the society. Americans are lack of grade and vanity, arrogance and vulgarity on the issue of rankings, which are not accidental choices but have profound social and cultural roots. For example, the largest number of class of American, the middle class, Is the most vain and snobbish class. The reason is because they can be replaced like screws, and because of the lack of security, their life is also the most anxious. In this state of mind to live, the first thing is to get recognition of others, and to make others think he lived decent and safe . Therefore their vanity and display must be embodied in the basic necessities of life and discourse.But, in essence, most of them are from a lower class, so they lack the advanced quality of life inevitably. Therefore in their life they just pursuit the lack of individual, standard and the goods can clear their identity. This kind of cautious, unrestrained, and lacking creative way of life is something we should pay attention to.In American culture, 'Titanic' should be said a special case. But why this movie can set off a "Titanic" craze in the world? Why attracting Chinese audiences while attracting thousands of American audiences? And why it can cause the resonance to the white, black , adults and children’s heart? Because this movi e is not as same as the tradition Hollywood movie. It has the unique to reflect human’s ideal, faith, sacrifice, courage and love. The American culture, including the award of Oscars is particularly favored by the movie like ‘The First Blood’ ‘Gone With The Wind’ ‘Platoon’ and the ‘Forrest Gump’. However, there is no "Superman" image for the first time in this film. It makes the American film’s main theme from science fiction and violence changes to the current traditional life story and the theme of love. In recent decades, violent, science fiction movies such as aliens, Star Wars and Jurassic park it does have a strong stimulating effect to the human, but they can not give more profound inspiration and thinking to people. The deep characterization of human nature is a feature of the Titanic. It should be admitted that in this huge disaster, Rational fled is the human’s instinct. The chief actor is not tall and strong, instead of weak and cool. The chief actress is a little rebellious but the image is gentle and pleasant. In front of the disaster, they shows the courage and the dignity of human in front of death. For example, in order to comfort the people, musicians fulfill their duties for the passengers to play music, until the event happened. An old coup le, doesn’t beg for survival in vain, lying on the bed waiting the death quietly; Some British gentlemen are not going to wear life jackets in order to keep decent; The priest still prayer when facing death and so on. To present the complicated human nature, the film escaped the general sense of the confrontation between good and evil and moral judgments, instead of showing the class conflict in the early 20th century in a certain sence. In the film ‘Titainc’, there is no "Superman" , but to wrote everyone can't resist their fates. Money and love, poor and rich, each person's performance are painted so full in the risk, and it’s a reflection or refraction to the capitalist society of class culture at the beginning of the century. This immortal legend is reinterpretation from the perspective of class character and human nature by Cameron. The huge disaster is a kind of choice between life and death. And it’s also an important test to class nature and human nature. At this time, everyone shows their survival instinct and class nature honestly. The wreck of the Titanic shows a kind of quality of love, lofty, fearless and self-sacrifice, but also expose the people’s selfish, cowardly and dark.Therefore, if we only focus on the theme of the tragedy of love , 'Titanic' now。
