Chapter 255 Set sail 3
"It's finally going to start!"
Just before the picture was changed, Ryan clearly heard James Cameron's muttering voice. No wonder this was the case. This movie exhausted his efforts and even publicly declared that he would not take on any movies within three years.
Shaking his head, Ryan flipped his hands and grabbed Nicole's hanging hand. The two of them held each other tightly, holding each other tightly. The unpleasantness before disappeared in an instant.
The film adopts a reverse sequence structure. It started in 1996. A relatively advanced deep-sea exploration ship penetrated a depth of 2,600 feet in the Atlantic Ocean. The expedition members in the cabin were looking for a priceless diamond in the sinking Titanic - Heart of the Ocean.
The expedition members found a safe, and when they got on board, they knocked it open with full expectations, they found that there was only a pool of useless mud and a drawing.
After the draft was cleaned, it could be seen that it was a portrait of a naked woman, and the diamond they were looking for was hanging around the woman's neck.
After the salvage operation was broadcast on TV, it attracted the attention of an old lady with white hair and wrinkles on her face. She called herself Ruth and said that the woman in the painting was her.
In order to find the whereabouts of "Heart of the Ocean", the expedition team invited the old Ruth onto the ship. As she told, a long-closed story slowly appeared in front of the audience.
"It's been eighty-four years, and I still smell the paint. The porcelain on the ship is new and no one has used the sheets. The Titanic is called the Dream Ship, and it deserves its name. It really deserves its name..."
Just as Ruth's story was about to switch between the camera, the broken shipwreck instantly turned into a luxurious giant ship that was about to set sail in 1912, with the Southampton Pier being crowded.
"O God, it's so magnificent!" A faint voice of admiration rang out.
Ruth, 17, wore a white dress and a purple top hat, looking extremely rich and elegant. This outfit shows her identity as a daughter from a famous family.
She accompanied her mother and took her fiancé Carl to the "Titanic" and prepared to get married in the United States.
"The Titanic is no big deal..."
Just one line clearly expresses the girl's character.
At this time, on the dock, the poor boy Jack and his friends gambled with two Russians, but unexpectedly won the ticket for the "Titanic". The two people caught up with the ship in time. The crew was also worried that they had lice on their bodies. This shows that people's hierarchy concept was very serious at that time.
Next, Jack and Ruth's accommodation conditions further reflect the inequality of identity. Jack and his team could only live in the small sleeper berth on the lower floor, while Ruth and his fiancé's first-class private room was magnificent, spacious and bright.
The disparity in class is obviously one of the obstacles to Jack and Ruth's love.
The giant ship started anchoring and slowly sailed away from Southampton Harbor. The comparison with the wooden sailboat and the small steamer highlighted the grandeur and hugeness of the ship, which can be regarded as a masterpiece of industrial civilization.
Then the movie uses several panoramic shots to show the full picture of the Titanic. It is the well-deserved world number one in 1912.
Even though the special effects were a bit backward from Ryan's perspective, in this era, such effects were shocking. Just look at the audience's reflections in the theater.
The Titanic sailed in the vast sea, with calm waves on the sea and peaceful on the ship, as if such a scene would last until the end of its maiden voyage until it arrived in New York and received cheers from the whole world.
"I am the king of the world!"
Ryan's shouting was so open-minded and refreshing that it made people feel happy.
"Dear, you are so handsome." Nicole's hand seemed a little dishonest.
"Is that true, Nicole?" Ryan leaned into her ear and whispered deliberately, "There is a lounge on it."
Of course, this is just a joke between "qingen".
The life of the upper class was filled with hypocrisy and restraints in Ruth's eyes. She looked forward to freedom all the time. In contrast, Jack lived a very comfortable life. When he was fine, he sat on the side of the boat to draw, breathe, chatted with people he didn't know at will, etc.
And when Jack accidentally saw Ruth, he was immediately attracted, which was probably what was called love at first sight.
That night, Ruth finally couldn't help it, ran to the stern of the boat, preparing to jump into the sea to commit suicide. Jack arrived on the spot and persuaded Ruth not to commit suicide, but it was useless.
"You dance, I dance too!" He said confidently.
Ruth finally changed her mind and gave up the idea of suicide. However, if the scenes of the two of them ended like this, it would be too dull. So a bloody thing happened. When Ruth wanted to climb over the railing and return to the stern of the boat, she stepped on the air and almost fell into the sea. Jack tried hard to rescue her, but alarmed the crew on the night.
They thought Jack had done something bad to Ruth, so they handcuffed him immediately. Ruth made up a lie to make up Jack's freedom.
This is their first meeting. It can be said that the two of them each rescue each other once, which lays the foundation for future interactions.
Carl also invited Jack to attend a first-class banquet, hoping to take the opportunity to humiliate him, but Jack, who was unknown, nodded and agreed.
The next day Ruth came to Jack to thank him and discovered his talent for painting. Ruth liked Monet's paintings very much. When the two of them had a common hobby, they had a foundation for communication. Their chat was both pleasant and unpleasant.
When Jack asked Ruth if she loved her fiancé, she looked very helpless, and when Jack taught her to spit in the sea, she was filled with joy.
Mrs. Molly admired Jack's bravery very much. She put on her dress before the dinner and dressed him up handsomely. In this way, Jack got into the upper class and felt the luxurious dinner for the first time. He was very smart and quietly learned the etiquette of the upper class, which made many people think that he might be a newly rising little kid.
After dinner, Jack Yoruth attended a party belonging to their lower class. The two danced in the noisy crowd and had a lot of fun. Although the people here had a humble status, they had this pure happiness, full of reality, rather than everyone wearing a mask.
Despite facing the obstruction of the mother and the huge gap in identity and status, the two young people who had a passionate relationship still fell in love, so the most bloody and attractive shots of the whole movie appeared.
Jack and Ruth stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sunset, spreading their arms, and kissing passionately in the wonderful feeling of flying. The movie used a 360-degree downward lens to fully display this picture.
"Somewhat intentional." Nicole suddenly spoke.
"It's a bit deliberate, but such a beautiful and graceful picture is enough to make people fall in love with it." Ryan said with a chuckling, "Believe me, Nicole, this will definitely become one of the most classic shots in film history."
"Hmm~"
Next? The next chapter is naturally the painting.
Although Kate Winslet is almost naked, the picture is still beautiful, and with the dialogue of the elderly Ruth, it has aroused the audience's appetite.
Therefore, although the scene in the car was only the tired hand and the close-up of the sweaty heads of the two, it became the best scene for many boys and girls to fantasize.
Some people may think that this will destroy the previous aesthetic feeling, but this movie mainly focuses on the West, and there are several regions that have been far-reachingly influenced by Western culture. If the hero and heroine do not even have substantial contact, they will be separated from life and death, which will definitely attract abuse from the audience.
Just when Jack and Ruth's love reached its peak, the movie naturally changed its tone. The audience who was immersed in love with each other woke up. This was the Titanic that hit the iceberg!
"Oh, my God!"
You can also know from the audience's voice that the Titanic inevitably hit an iceberg, three warehouses and six boiler rooms were flooded, and chief designer Thomas Andrews announced that at most two hours, the Titanic would sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean!
"As long as it is made of steel! I promise, it will sink to the bottom of the sea!"
A disaster kicks off, which shows not only the love between Jack and Ruth, but also the humanity in the disaster.
But at this moment, Carl wanted to "catch the thief". He lied that his "Heart of the Ocean" had been stolen, and sent someone to put the diamond quietly into Jack's pocket. In this way, Jack, who was indecisive, was handcuffed and imprisoned in a room on the bottom floor.
He must stop Jack from dying before he can give up.
In the end, Ruth gave up the opportunity to board the lifeboat, risked her life to save Jack from the bottom warehouse, and staged a beauty to save the hero.
Originally, Ruth could still escape from danger, but she resolutely gave up the lifeboat and hugged Jack tightly. Love gave them the courage to face the challenges of life and death together.
At this point, audiences familiar with Hollywood-style plots began to realize that Jack and Ruth were most likely to be a tragedy...
During the thrilling adventure, some people are afraid, some are greedy, some are giving up, and some are sticking to their posts. Even if they understand that their performance may not have any effect, the band still sticks to their posts and wants to use music to soothe people's panic.
The plot shows the glorious side of human nature here. Just like in historical records, the crew members did not escape first. They tried their best to maintain order and let women and children board the lifeboat first. Looking at the entire shipwreck history, although it is not unique, it is extremely rare.
None of the first mate, captain, and chief designer escaped, and the first mate even committed suicide because of the accidental murder of innocent people.
The Titanic was about to sink, and Jack and Ruth fled to the high stern, where they met and probably would be their end.
Chapter completed!
