Конспект The film Titanic

Good afternoon, everybody. I’m glad to see you.
I want to tell you about my favorite American film. About the film that left a deep and lasting impression on me. It is a 3-hour-14-minute romantic and disaster film. It is a great work of the famous film director James Cameron. This film was produced by Columbia Pictures and 20th Century Fox.
I think, there is no man in the world who doesn’t know this film. I’m sure, you know it too. Can you guess it? What film is it?
Yes, you are right, it is “Titanic”. It is a romantic and disaster film. In fact “Titanic” was a real huge and luxurious passenger liner. It met an iceberg on its way and sank in the Atlantic Ocean on the 14th of April 1912. About 15 hundred people died in freezing cold water.
"Titanic" is also a movie about money and its evils, about the rich and the poor. With fine irony, Cameron has spent more dollars than any other filmmaker to produce the film that denounces the rich. (will you look at the slide and see the figures?) Many successful high technologies, computer graphics and special effects were used. The exact copy of real Titanic was drowned.
“Titanic” is the film about the great love of two young people from different social classes.
Rose is a rich and spoilt girl betrothed to a rich and hopeful suitor.
Jack is poor free-spirited artist who won his 3rd class passage in a card game.
The two main roles are played by great actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo DeCaprio.  Rose and Jack understand they can’t love each other but they continue to love. Their love is true and the only thing really worth living.  They are like "Romeo and Juliet" on a sinking ship. Even after the catastrophy they fight for their love and for their lives. 
I cried when Jack died. I am so sorry for Jane. She saw her love going away forever. But she could do nothing. She loves him even after his death. She takes the surname of the man who could never be her husband. Rose Dawson.

Brilliant and emotional music helps us to feel the film. I like the music of the film. Now I’d like to present you the song from the film “My Hear will go on”
“Titanic” makes us feel and think, helps us to release the best human features. I love this film. I've watched Titanic many times and I don't get tired of it. It’s a sweet and romantic movie that I really enjoy watching.
Titanic is a 1997 American epic romance and disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by JamesCameron. A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, HYPERLINK "http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/33623" Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Billy Zane as Rose's fiancé, Cal Hockley. Jack and Rose are members ofdifferent social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage.
Cameron's inspiration for the film was predicated on his fascination with shipwrecks; he wanted to convey theemotional message of the tragedy, and felt that a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential toachieving this. Production on the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. Themodern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base whenfilming the wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, and scale modelsand computer-generated imagery were also used to recreate the sinking. The film was partially funded byParamount Pictures and 20th Century Fox – respectively, its American and international distributors – and at thetime, it was the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of $200 million.[4][5][6][7]Upon its release on December 19, 1997, HYPERLINK "http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/33413" \l "cite_note-www.nytimes.com-7" [8] the film achieved critical and commercial success. It equaled recordswith fourteen Academy Award nominations and eleven Oscar wins, receiving the prizes for Best Picture and BestDirector.[9] With a worldwide gross of over $1.8 billion, it was the first film to reach the billion dollar mark, remainingthe highest-grossing film of all time for twelve years, until Cameron's next directorial effort, Avatar, surpassed it in2010.[10][11] Titanic is also ranked as the sixth best epic film of all time in AFI's 10 Top 10 by the American FilmInstitute.[12] The film is due for theatrical re-release on April 6, 2012 in 3-D to commemorate the centenary of theTitanic setting sail.[13]I watched Titanic because, it's one of the best film in the world. So many people have spoken about this film and it surprised me that is was a really good film. 
The $8,4 million costume budget alone would finance several independent movies. Production designer Peter Lamont copied the real Titanic down to the exact shade of green on the chairs in the smoking lounge. The sumptuous sets have made-to-order replicas of the china, the stained-glass windows - and since all of it was going to be destroyed, nothing could be rented. "To the best of our knowledge, there was no violation of historical truth", says Cameron. "We have a great responsibility. Whatever we make, will become the truth, the visual reality that a generation will accept", says Cameron.The special effects are in the service of the story. In the 80-minute sinking of the ship, you don't wonder what's real and what's computer-generated. What you feel is the horror of the experience, the depths of the folly that left this "unsinkable" ship so vulnerable to disaster. While the women and children are loaded into lifeboats (there were only enough for half the 2,200 passengers), the third-class passengers are locked.
Cameron makes terrifying poetry out of chaos with images of the ship breaking in half, the deck rising perpendicular to the water as passengers bounce off the ships's giant propellers into the freezing ocean.
But it is the love between the unhappy Rose and the sanguine, openhearted Jack that occupies stage center. Is it the great love story Cameron so desperately wanted to make? Not quite. Visually, his lovers are an odd match: next to DiCaprio's boyish beauty, Kate Winslet looks womanly. And once the disaster strikes, their individual fates become overwhelmed by the communal horror. Our hearts, at least, couldn't but break once these lovestruck kids were surrounded by floating frozen corpses.
