The Titanic salvage crew explained to Ruth the sinking of the cruise ship, the cause, the process, and the results in great detail, with videos to support it.
This can be regarded as telling the audience through the picture how this giant ship sank.
Ruth looked at the wreckage of the Titanic with sad eyes and tears. At the same time, those dusty memories began to flash back in her mind.
"It has been 84 years, and I still seem to smell the smell of paint. The porcelain on the ship is all new, and no one has used the bed sheets. The Titanic is called the "Dream Ship", and it lives up to its name...
"
Following the old man's words, everyone followed her memory and returned to that era.
The moment Ruth got out of the car, her exquisite clothes and beautiful appearance stunned the audience.
Although many people were already stunned by Tao Yaoyao's appearance in the original stills, but when watching it in the theater, they still couldn't help but be stunned again!
The audience saw that Ruth was full of aristocracy, whether it was the way she walked or the way she spoke, her temperament and etiquette were in place, which made her even more noble.
When they got off the bus, they were surrounded by civilians wearing shabby clothes, and the social background was depicted.
One side is extremely noble and has cars carrying people and luggage when traveling, while the other side can only walk and carry heavy luggage...
As if people in two worlds, the classes formed in this social background were briefly depicted by Chen Mubai through a picture. Some viewers saw it, while others did not pay attention.
Film critics were keenly aware of this, and they recorded it with their pens.
After all, the biggest expectation of this film is to hit the Berlin Film Festival, so the metaphorical meaning of every shot is very important.
For film critics, this movie will have a lot of elements that need to be analyzed. They watch the movie with full concentration, and while reading the plot, they have to analyze the meaning that Chen Mubai wants to express.
Regarding this movie, many film critics have already bought movie tickets for the next show and are preparing to buy them for the second or third time.
They are afraid that there will be omissions in the analysis after reading it once, and they want to make sure there are no omissions as much as possible.
The heroine Rose and the hero Jack have both appeared. The clothes Jack wears are completely different from those of Rose. At first glance, they are from two different classes.
One is extremely noble, the other is ordinary.
The situation when the two got on the ship was also different. They were still two extremes.
One is a ticket unique to nobles and a first-class cabin.
The other won the ferry ticket through gambling and lived in the lowest cabin. The difference in status and status was obvious.
Under normal circumstances, these two people should never have crossed paths, as they are not on the same level, but fate is very magical, giving the two people a chance to meet.
Although Jack is poor, he is very optimistic and cheerful. His expression is very good, and there is no trace of inferiority at all. You can see his free and uninhibited temperament.
Especially after he boarded the boat, he waved goodbye to the people under the boat and shouted loudly.
"Who are you saying hello to?" my friend asked curiously.
Jack smiled and replied: "I'm just pretending..."
"Goodbye, I will miss you..."
The two parted happily laughing.
The audience couldn't help but find Jack's behavior amusing.
"The character Chen Mubai is a bit interesting~"
"Quite funny."
"You should still share your joy. Shouting loudly is indeed a way to express your emotions."
After the two boarded the ship, the story officially began, and the audience was looking forward to it.
When the Titanic was sailing, the camera showed the vast space inside the ship and the working of the machines.
Although it only passed by in a flash, everyone sighed when they saw this scene.
"The working principles of this machine were all photographed in detail. No wonder it cost so much money to build a ship!"
"It is indeed a luxurious ship. I understand the price of building this ship~"
After boarding the ship, there was once again a huge gap between where Jack lived and where Ruth lived, like a chasm!
Nobles enjoy the best treatment everywhere and enjoy everything in life.
Although the two protagonists have not yet crossed paths, through a short period of footage, the audience has seen the great disparity in status between the two. They are like people living in two worlds, and each other's lives are unknown to each other.
field of.
Jack and his friend stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the calm and endless sea. They felt very happy, as if this beautiful scenery symbolized the lives of the two of them in the future, and everything was full of hope and light.
"I am the king of the world!"
Jack roared loudly facing the sea, and the two of them also made a gesture of hugging each other facing the future, which once again reflected his free and uninhibited character.
The scene shifts to Ruth, who is enjoying a wonderful lunch with the nobles. Everyone talks loudly and appears to be very well-educated.
Ruth was smoking but her mother stopped her, and her fiancé Karl took her cigarette and put it out.
The audience didn't notice anything, but the film critics remembered these subtle details.
"Ruth didn't like this kind of life of being disciplined. She was tired of her mother's strict discipline and yearned for a free life."
"Karl is her fiancé. He took away her cigarettes without permission and ordered food for her. All of this without considering her opinions. This shows that Karl has a strong desire to control, coupled with his previous bossy attitude.
, this is a man who is arrogant and full of desire for control..."
In just two scenes and the main characters appearing, film critics have already written about their character traits and the situations they face.
"The first class dog came here to poop."
A man in the lower cabin was smoking a cigarette when he saw a group of people leading dogs to their deck, and he complained.
"So that we know we are worse than shit." Jack laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Don't forget your identity." The young man who complained was also very humorous.
The film critic once again wrote: "Jack can draw and make a living by drawing. This is a skill that corresponds to the portrait salvaged from the sunken ship at the beginning."
Here, Jack and Ruth met for the first time. Rose did not see Jack, but Jack was deeply attracted by Ruth's beauty.
"I seem to foresee that I will spend the rest of my life like this, attending various celebrity parties and dances, being among hypocritical crowds, talking empty and boring, as if falling into an abyss..."
Ruth's inner monologue once again verified what everyone thought about her character before. She doesn't like the constrained life of aristocrats, and what she yearns for more is freedom!
Next, Ruth escaped from the dinner party, ran all the way to the stern of the ship, and jumped over the railing.
Jack appeared and stopped Ruth from jumping off the ship. This was the first official meeting between the two and they had a brief conversation.
Jack's wit and humor left a deep impression on Rose.
He saved Ruth but was misunderstood. Ruth explained the reason and told everyone that Jack saved her life.
In the plot here, Carl once again showed his arrogance and contempt for others, but was criticized by Ruth.
At the same time, it leads to the next plot. He decides to invite Jack to have dinner with them to humiliate Jack. After all, their life and Jack's life are "worlds apart"!
Carl wanted to make Jack look ugly and see his inferiority side.
The brief communication between Jack and Ruth gave Ruth a different feeling. The two communicated again and gained a deeper understanding of each other.
Jack is a "wandering artist". When he boarded the ship, he showed Ruth's preference for paintings, which further paved the way for their future development.
Then, everyone saw the scene where Jack taught Ruth to spit.
And it was explained in such detail that the audience swallowed unconsciously and cleared their throats...
Ruth followed this "rude" behavior, which was absolutely impossible to be disrespectful among aristocratic ladies, and this scene was seen by Ruth's mother. This was the behavior of "lower people" that she had always despised.
.
"Boy, do you know your current situation?" The noble woman who was disliked by Lu Shi and several other nobles was talking to Jack.
"Not sure." Jack giggled.
"What awaits you will be a dragon's den and a tiger's den." The woman looked at Jack and asked, "What are you going to wear?"
"I knew it, come with me..."
The woman prepared an aristocratic outfit for Jack and asked him to attend the dinner.
This can be regarded as a great help to him, so that he will not be too embarrassed when he wears his own clothes to attend the dinner, dress inappropriately, and be laughed at and despised by others.
From this, we can see that this woman has a very kind heart, which is different from Lu Shi and others.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Lu Shi and others hate her. After all, in the eyes of Lu Shi and others, people like Jack are rats, people who are despised and ignored by them. Nobles should have the appearance and upbringing of nobles.
Maintain a noble image rather than being approachable.
This is a class issue, and Lu Shi represents the thoughts of the vast majority of aristocrats in that era.
The scene where Jack attended the dinner in a suit stunned the audience.
"So handsome!"
"Holy shit, he's so handsome!"
"Chen Mubai is so handsome~"
"A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. This is completely new..."
When Tao Qingchao saw Chen Mubai put on this suit, he looked at Chen Mubai and praised him: "He's very handsome."
"Hehe~"
Chen Mubai hadn't spoken yet, and Tao Yaoyao smiled happily.
Carl and Ruth came down the stairs to welcome Jack. Instead of talking to Jack, Ruth took Jack to talk to the two.
Jack's appearance also surprised Carl and Lucy, which meant that they just didn't realize that the person standing in front of them was Jack.
Not only does it show that in the eyes of aristocratic people like them, identifying people by their clothing, temperament, etc. is a common thing, but it also represents class.
After all, if the poor can't even afford food, how can they have expensive and exquisite clothes?
It also verified another point of view, that is, they would never take people like "Jack" seriously, and even if he saved his fiancée (daughter), they would still ignore him.
It metaphorically satirizes the hypocrisy, arrogance, and pride of these nobles. These pronouns are all labels they carry.
At the dinner, Jack was not timid at all, nor did he show any embarrassment because of the crowds from Carl and others. He always behaved appropriately and did not feel inferior.
He talks eloquently, behaves confidently and humorously, and talks about his life experiences and many things he has learned. He is optimistic by nature and yearns for a free life.
Ruth was deeply shocked by everything Jack showed. This was the life she expected, the freedom she longed for, and the life she wanted to have!
Carl and others still maintain a sense of superiority. Jack's words may seem beautiful, but in fact they are still in a ridiculous situation.
Jack took Ruth to the lower cabin and took her to a party that was different from the past.
The people here are amiable and approachable. Everyone laughs loudly together without caring whether their voices are too loud or not. There are no etiquette restrictions.
Contrary to the gatherings of nobles, everyone enjoys the fun brought by life to the fullest, instead of hypocritically complimenting, saying polite words, and behaving very appropriately and politely like the nobles.
Everyone seemed to be wearing a mask.
Here, Ruth saw people's true faces, with everyone's joys, sorrows, and joys hanging on their faces, without those condescending and contemptuous attitudes. This kind of life was a life she longed for but never had!
To Ruth, the life of a noble is like bound humanity, while the life of Jack and others is like unbound humanity.
Ruth had a big fight with her fiancé because she was too close to Jack.
Ruth's mother came to persuade Ruth. Here they reveal the situation they faced. This ticket was obtained with great effort!
"Except for debts and titles, your father left us nothing. Titles are our only support..."
Lu Shi explained the stakes clearly to Ruth, and at the same time told Ruth that her definition of a happy life for women was absolute material guarantee.
A woman does not have to worry about making a living or being tired throughout her life. This is a happy life.
Therefore, she chose Karl, hoping that her daughter could marry her, which would solve all the problems and her aristocratic life could continue.
Otherwise, they will go bankrupt and she will become the "inferior person" she despises the most. This is something she cannot accept. She shows a sense of superiority in front of Jack and maintains a condescending and superior attitude. She never wants to
You have fallen to that point!
It's not that Ruth is completely selfish and hypocritical. She has a lot of experience. She gives Ruth advice based on past experience, so she hopes Ruth can do what she wants.
This represents the thinking of some parents. They have experienced too much and will be more realistic. They will not have wild ideas and adapt to life like Ruth.
This kind of thinking cannot be said to be right or wrong. It can only be said that it will put a lot of pressure on children, and they will think that their lives are controlled by their parents, like puppets with cut strings. However, the original intention is to hope that their children can live a better life.
Lu Shi plays the emotional card at this time just to make Ruth listen to her, which is a bit like kidnapping Ruth morally.
Ruth was really shaken, and she didn't know what to do. She began to escape from her feelings for Jack and from Jack's passionate feelings for her.
When she saw a girl being trained by her mother since childhood, she thought about her own life, and even her life in the next few decades...
Ruth found Jack again, and the two stood at the stern of the boat, using the same movements that Jack and his friends did when they first boarded the boat.
Ruth opened her hands like wings and stood at the railing without any obstruction!
Jack stood behind her and put his hands on her waist, giving her a safe support.
This action shows Ruth's absolute trust in Jack, otherwise it would be impossible to open her hands without any defense, which would make people very insecure!
"Jack, I'm flying!" Ruth was very surprised.
At this time, the endless blue sea is rippling, and the sunset dyes the horizon red, turning the sky into a beautiful background, poetic and picturesque.
The orange sunlight shone on the two of them, dyeing their faces orange.
There are only two of them here, this is the place where they get along alone, without anyone disturbing them, without any worries, only sincere love for each other!
The music started playing, and the light music combined with this beautiful scene made all the audience immersed in this scene and couldn't extricate themselves.
Especially the girls looked at this scene with confusion, it was so romantic!
The crisp and sweet music sounded faintly, and the two lovers hugged and kissed each other in a romantic gesture.
This is their first kiss scene.
Everything seemed so natural and fell into place.
The audience witnessed the love between the two.
"So beautiful!"
"Wow, I feel like this scene could be painted into a painting~"
"It's such a touching scene. After Ruth made a difficult decision, she finally chose to be with Jack. The relationship between the two is as beautiful as the scenery."
"I think this may be the most beautiful love I have ever seen, bar none!"
"Now I finally believe that this is a love movie, with good love and beautiful scenes..."
The audience was moved by the love between the two, and this beautiful scene lingered in their minds.
"Eh~"
Qin Qiu is also a woman, and she was also envious when she saw this scene.
This is the romance that any woman longs for!
Even romantic in unexpected ways!
"Sister Qin~"
Tao Yaoyao was so shy after being teased by Qin Qiu, especially the way Tao Qingchao looked at her, that made her look away.
In front of her elders, she would still be somewhat shy if her kissing scenes were seen.
"It's very romantic!" Tao Qingchao had to admit that Chen Mubai's idea was very surprising.
The actions of the two people on the boat, coupled with the beautiful scenery just like in the painting, this scene is deeply imprinted on everyone's heart and leaves a mark.
"I believe that after today, this scene will be remembered by all lovers, and some people will definitely imitate it." Tao Qingchao sighed.
"Yes, I think someone will soon imitate this action and shoot on Weibo, and the music will use your soundtrack." Qin Qiu smiled and nodded.
No doubt, this is inevitable.
Just look at the reaction of the audience and you will know how lethal this picture is. Even elite women like Qin Qiu were shocked, let alone those young people?
The more informed you are, the harder it is to be touched by something. This is a matter of vision.
Just like little girls may like luxury goods very much and want to chase these things because they don't have them, but this is not the case for white-collar women. If they see these things too much, there will be no surprises.
This is a matter of knowledge and the reason for the limitation of vision.
Everything is surprising when it appears for the first time, and the same is true for romance.
Maybe some ordinary romantic behaviors will make people feel happy, but they will never give people such a big surprise.
In this scene of "Titanic", the romantic atmosphere created by Chen Mubai has never been seen before, with beautiful scenes, never-before-seen movements, and a kiss with fingers clasped back...
.
"This music is very nice, it sounds very comfortable, and the lingering sound lingers in my ears." Tao Qingchao likes this kind of light music.
The older I get, the less I like heavy music like rock and roll. He will find it noisy. On the contrary, this kind of light music sounds more comfortable and does not hurt the ears.
"I think so too." Tao Yaoyao nodded in agreement.
Everyone was making fun of her kissing scene before. She was really a little embarrassed, as if Tao Qingchao caught her kissing Chen Mubai live...
Now that the topic has been changed, she naturally hopes that everyone will divert their attention.
"I have a hunch that this scene and music may become a classic." Qin Qiu nodded.
"A classic love drama may also be a classic in film history!"
Chen Mubai smiled noncommittally, and Tao Qingchao and Tao Yaoyao also believed it. After all, they also hoped for this situation.
Compared to Qin Qiu's speculation, the film critics went crazy at this moment.
Their job is to deal with movies, and when this scene appeared, they already knew what kind of shock this scene would bring!
It will definitely become the most classic shot in movie history!
Whether it is the environment, atmosphere, emotions, etc., all the foreshadowing has reached its peak at this time, so when this scene appeared, everyone felt that it was a reasonable thing.
Two people from different worlds met on a ship and started a love affair that transcended everything!
Next, it was time for Jack to draw a portrait of Ruth.
This painting is also the self-portrait of Ruth recovered from the sunken ship at the beginning of the movie. This is a painting of her wearing the "Heart of the Ocean"!
The camera focuses on Ruth's eyes, getting closer and closer...
Until her eyes changed, the skin around them wrinkled, and then she returned to modern old Ruth.
"handsome!"
"This look is so touching~"
"Awesome!"
"The eyes that traveled through time and space, 82 years later, Ruth still remembers the scene at that time, the great love!"
"Hey, now that I know the ending of their love is not happy, I wish the movie would end at this moment and give me a beautiful fantasy..."
Next is the moment when the Titanic hits the iceberg.
Carl was very dissatisfied with the matter between Jack and Ruth, but the aristocratic self-cultivation and etiquette allowed him to hold back his anger without losing his grace. He chose to frame Jack and let him leave a stain on Ruth's heart, thereby destroying their relationship.
For Karl, the nobility of the Ruth family is the title he desperately needs!
Therefore, even if he knew the fact that Ruth was in love with someone else, he still wanted to marry her. For him, love was not important, what was important was interests and status!
From this we can see Carl's hypocrisy and arrogance. What he was angry about was not Ruth's cheating, but that he lost to Jack, a "lower man" whom he looked down upon!
The Titanic is about to sink, and the lifeboats on the ship can only save half of the people, which means that the other half will be sacrificed.
In order to protect the lives of the nobles, the crew even locked the iron door of the lower class cabin to prevent them from coming up, and instead let the nobles get on the ship first!
It once again satirizes the pathology of society at that time. Why does everyone yearn to become a noble and strive for power and wealth?
Because the aristocracy has privileges and their interests are the highest, this is caused by society and determined by the political background at that time!
At the critical moment of life and death, the aristocratic class represented by Lu Shi and Karl are still full of a sense of superiority. They still do not take the shipwreck seriously. In their view, even if something goes wrong, their lives will still be protected first.
The presence.
With a disregard for civilian lives and her ubiquitous superiority and arrogance, Ruth did not choose to get on the lifeboat with her mother, but chose to go find Jack.
