To a Titanic fan James Cameron is God, no doubt. Well here's our small dedication to James Cameron who made such a tragic story alive again in many of our minds.
Movie Summary:
Titanic has been declared the number one movie of all-time and, by far, the most expensive. Making the most money, it has toped the largest blockbusters of all-time. Practically every one has seen it, and if you haven't, you probably wouldn't want to read on. In this detailed account of the movie we plan to give you intriguing information that you probably didn't know, as well as, one of the most comprehensive summaries on the net!Titanic is unique in the sense that it takes place in the present as well as the past. The movie is, despite its length, very easy to follow. The movie begins with some real (1912) footage of the doomed ship leaving Southampton, England. The film is discolored because it is over 85 years old, don't forget that. After the opening scene, the viewer then receives a glimpse at what the actual ship looks like today in retrospect. In the next scene we see 2 deep-dive subs sinking rapidly to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Remember these scenes were not computer-generated but instead special camera housings built by James Cameron's son, Michael, were used for this special footage. Almost every shot of the ship sitting peacefully at the bottom of the ocean is real except for a few animations later in the movie. As the subs reach the ship they start to set up for their exploration. As the 2 subs deploy their "mini-subs" the camera follows them until "snoop dog" (one of the mini-subs) reaches Caledon Hockley's stateroom. The sub's occupants give each other commands as they search the room for something, what is it? As they continue into the bath, they inspect a wooden frame of some sort. Brock Lovett instructs Lewis Bodine to lift the wooden frame. Under the frame is what they were looking for, Caledon Hockley's safe!
Back on the surface we see the subs being lifted out of the ocean and on the other side of the ship, the safe. The leader of the expedition, Brock Lovett soon joins the crew as they patiently wait for the safe to be opened to only to reveal millions in British bank notes (a little water-logged) and an art folder. It seems at this point that Brock is looking a little disappointed, as one of his assistants remarks "No Diamond." Just after that we see Brock and his colleagues inside talking to the Manager of their expedition trying to convince him that the diamond could be in a thousand other places. As he's talking he looks at a monitor and notices a picture of a beautiful young lady (naked) wearing "Le Coeur de la Mer" or "The Heart of the Ocean" drawn on April 14, 1912.
In the next scene we see Rose Calvert, an old lady making a pot of some kind on a pottery lathe; she then pauses momentarily to observe a program on the television. She gets up and tells her granddaughter, Lizzi, to turn the television up. The television program is interviewing Brock Lovett; Lovett is telling the interviewer about the picture they found. Rose looks at it carefully and says, "I'll be God damned!" realizing that it's her.
More to come!
