Titanic, the Ship of Dreams: A Marxist Criticism Approach

The film begins with Brock Love, a treasure hunter, leading a search for a rare diamond necklace known as the Heart of the Ocean, but they are unable to locate the necklace. Instead, they discovered a drawing of a girl wearing the necklace they had been searching for. Rose Calvert was brought aboard Shekel, the research vessel, and began to talk about her experiences on the Titanic. The retro scene began with a crowded and ecstatic crowd waiting to board the magnificent Titanic, which included first-class passengers Rose Dewitt Butterfat, her mother Ruth, and his fiance, Caledonia Hockney. Rose contemplated suicide by jumping from the ship's rail, distressed by the engagement. She met Jack Dawson, an impoverished artist who demoralized her and kept her from going off the rails. As a reward, Cal Hockney invited Jack to supper with the first-class passengers. Rose and Jack formed a tenuous connection after the dinner, despite Ruth and Cal's reservations about him, and Rose secretly joined a third-class party with Jack. Rose initially denied Jack since she was aware of her fiance's and mother's displeasure, but she subsequently discovered that he preferred him to Cal. She took Jack into her state room and asked him to draw her wearing only the diamond necklace Cal had given her. Following their escape from Cal's bodyguard, they observed the ship collide with an iceberg. Rose, on the other hand, saw Rose's disrespectful note and decided to smuggle the jeweler into Jack's pocket with the help of his security, Mr. Love joy. With that, Jack was handcuffed and taken to the master-at-arms' office. Rose, on the other hand, declined to board the lifeboat with her mother and instead decided to save Jack. They rejoined with Cal after saving him, and together with Jack, they encouraged Rose to board the lifeboat. Rose jumped in the middle as she lowered her lifeboat to return to Jack. They returned to the boat deck after overcoming various hurdles, and the ship split in half. Jack assisted Rose in boarding a wooden panel that is only buoyant enough for one person in the water. Rose did not live long since he practically froze to death, but Jack did, thanks to his strong heart. After the Old Rose threw the Heart of the Ocean into the sea, Rose was reunited with Jack in the Titanic's Grand Staircase while being applauded by the people who died in the disaster.

Aside from the love tale between Jack and Rose, James Cameron did an excellent job of depicting the socioeconomic divides in society throughout the 1900s in the film. The fact that passengers on the ship were divided into three classes: upper-class passengers who had access to a variety of amenities and were accompanied by personal staff, middle-class passengers who had access to their own library; and third-class passengers who were not allowed to mix with other passengers. In their perceptions of Jack, Ruth Butterfat and Cal Hockney demonstrate the societal power imbalance. Ruth even considered Jack to be a dangerous insect that needed to be squashed as soon as possible, as evidenced by her banning Rose from seeing him because he was a penniless artist who could not provide them with a luxurious life, whereas Cal could. This is why Rose needs to marry him to ensure their survival and not lose all of their wealth. The most visible example of socioeconomic difference in the film occurred when First Officer Murdoch, the officer in command on the night the ship collided with the iceberg, closed all the doors from where the proletariat were working.He was only concerned about his own safety and that of other first-class passengers, but he failed to consider the safety of those who were working, sweating profusely, just to keep the ship moving. The third-class guests being trapped behind the gates was another scene that demonstrated the social inequalities among the passengers on the ship. Various pleading, shouting, and sobbing voices have been heard but never entertained. They are treated as though they were caged animals who would go berserk if not fed. This is because they must first save the top class, then the middle class, and finally the third class. This class divide had a significant role in the catastrophic shipwreck of the R.M.S Titanic, which claimed the lives of thousands of people. In our culture, the disparities between these economic divisions are not and will never be acceptable. These chasms will remain a poison that must be eradicated, just as the water from the ocean claimed those people's lives. In particular, the third class, which has the highest number of deaths.

Titanic deserves to be called "The Best Movie of All Time" because it accurately depicted how people act and live according to their social status. It also provided justice to those who face discrimination because of their socioeconomic status.The characters excelled in their parts and touched many people's hearts with their.
