Summary of Titanic

The document discusses the movie Titanic, focusing on its depiction of class struggles and capitalistic ideals. It shows the love story between Jack Dawson and Rose Dewitt Bukater, a passenger from different social classes, amid the sinking of the Titanic. When the ship hit an iceberg, the upper-class passengers were prioritized for evacuation while the third class was left behind, resulting in thousands of lives lost. The analysis applies Marxist concepts to interpret the ship as a metaphor for the world, with people separated into social classes and highlighting how wealth and status became irrelevant in the face of catastrophe.

In a few words, “Titanic” is an epic and action-packed romance movie that depicts reality in

some ways. The storyline of the movie is about the love of two passengers, Jack Dawson and
Rose Dewitt Bukater. The movie shows how Rose’s and Jack’s love for each other was pure
despite the hindrances that stopped them from being together. When the ship struck an iceberg,
the captain ordered the passengers to be evacuated, prioritizing the upper class. The third class
was left behind, which resulted in a catastrophe where thousands of passengers lost their lives.
A perfect example of class struggles and capitalistic ideals is presented in a love story between
the social classes.

The application of Marxism to the movie Titanic as expressed in the analysis is seen. As a post-
apocalyptic tale with elements of romance and disaster, its genuine worth is found in that. The
ship is a metaphor for the entire world, which represents our planet as it floats in a huge, dark
universe that encompasses both humankind's highest aspirations and worst morals, with people
separated into the rich, middle class, and destitute classes. This way, the social conflicts on
Titanic transcend into a commentary on world issues, and what was once the focal point of first-
class passengers' lives suddenly became irrelevant and proved how trivial wealth and
extravagance are.
