This romantic movie is a favorite among movie goers, lovers, and critics and just about everyone. Enjoyed by one and all, this movie was remade in the year 1997 by James Cameron, who is the director, writer and the co-producer of the film. It starred Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio in the lead roles and swept all the awards at major award functions. The plot of the movie revolves around two members belonging to different social classes, who fall in love on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, despite of all odds stacked against them. The movie has won eleven Academy awards, including the award for the Best Picture. Story The film opens in modern times and shows an expedition team diving where the Titanic sunk, taking along with it the famous 56-Carat blue diamond. When the diving mission is telecast on television, a 101-year-old woman, Rose Calvert, claims to be the woman who wore the famous diamond. She then tells the story of the Titanic and her love story too. The viewers are taken back in time, to the year 1912, where a 17-year-old ravishingly beautiful Rose (Kate Winslet) is set to sail on the Titanic along with her arrogant fiancé Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane). She comes across this low-class artist Jack Dawson (Leonardo Di Caprio) and they both grow fond of each other. They eventually fall in love and share some intimate moments with one another. Rose decides to leave the ship with Jack and dump her fiancé forever. That is when fate decides to intervene and the Titanic hits the iceberg. As it sinks slowly, one can see the desperation the two lovers experience. They are ready to sacrifice their lives for one another. However, while Rose survives to tell this tale, Jack is met with a tragic fate as he tries to save Kate from jaws of death. In the penultimate scene of the film, after narrating the complete story, the elderly Rose gets up and walks till the stern of Lovett's ship and drops the engagement pendent from her fiancé, into the water. As she sleeps, there are pictures around her depicting everything she said she would do with Jack all through her life. The final scene of the film shows a young Rose at the Grand Staircase of the Titanic, reunited with Jack. She is surrounded by those who died in the disaster, who are applauding their reunion. Whether this is a conscious dream or Rose has died in her sleep, is deliberately left unclear by the director to create an impact.

Background on the RMS TITANIC: The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by British shipping company White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, United Kingdom. For her time, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world. On the night of 14 April 1912, during the ship’s maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 people, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 people, although her capacity was 3,547. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women-and-children-first protocol that was followed. The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was popularly believed to have been described as “unsinkable.” It was a great shock to many that, despite the extensive safety features and experienced crew, the Titanic sank. The frenzy on the part of the media about Titanic’s famous victims, the legends about the sinking, the resulting changes to maritime law, and the discovery of the wreck have contributed to the continuing interest in, and notoriety of, the Titanic. The band plays as the TITANIC sinks. Scene from the 1943 Nazi produced version of the Titanic.

  • Behavior Under Extreme Conditions: the Titanic Disaster
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 24, Number 4—Fall 2010—Pages 1–14 Behavior under Extreme Conditions: The Titanic Disaster Bruno S. Frey, David A. Savage, and Benno Torgler uring the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg on her maiden voyage. Two hours and 40 minutes later she sank, resulting D in the loss of 1,501 lives—more than two-thirds of her 2,207 passengers and crew. This remains one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most famous. The disaster came as a great shock because the vessel was equipped with the most advanced technology at that time, had an experienced crew, and was thought to be practically “unsinkable” (although the belief that the ship had been widely believed to be truly unsinkable actually arose after the sinking, as explained in Howell, 1999). The Titanic’s fame was enhanced by the considerable number of films made about it: not including various made-for-television movies and series, the list would include Saved from the Titanic (1912), In Nacht und Eis (1912), Atlantic (1929), Titanic (1943 and 1953), A Night to Remember (1958), Raise the Titanic! (1980), and of course the 1997 Titanic, directed by James Cameron and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. In 1985, a joint American–French expedition, led by Jean-Louis Michel and Dr. Robert Ballard, located the wreckage and collected approximately 6,000 artifacts, which were later shown in an exhibition that toured the world. ■ Bruno S.

  • S.O.S. – the Titanic Centenary at BFI Southbank in April 2012
    PRESS RELEASE February 2012 12/14 S.O.S. – The Titanic Centenary At BFI Southbank in April 2012 April 2012 marks the centenary of the tragic sinking of the Titanic along with the loss of 1,517 passengers. The intervening years and countless tales of heroism to emerge from the disaster have caused the event to gain near mythical status in film and television; the distinct lack of footage from either the disaster and of the ship prior to its departure only fuelling the intrigue. BFI Southbank gathers together many of the filmed dramatisations of the disaster for a commemorative season that spans interpretations of the event from Britain, (Atlantic 1929, A Night to Remember 1958) and the US (Titanic 1953) via a unique take on the disaster from the propaganda machine of Nazi era Germany (Titanic 1943). Other highlights of the centenary are set to include an exclusive preview of ITV’s upcoming series, Titanic (2012), written by Julian Fellowes followed by a Q&A with the writer, director and cast members that will kick of BFI’s celebrations on 20 March, the newly re mastered version of James Cameron’s Blockbuster Titanic 3D (2012) opening at BFI IMAX on April 5, an illustrated lecture from author Join Charles Barr on Alfred Hitchcock’s abandoned Titanic Project, a specially curated Mediateque collection and a Mezzanine display marking the event. Shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, the maiden voyage of the White Star Line’s beacon of luxury and progress, RMS Titanic, ended in tragedy when she struck an iceberg and sank in the early hours of 15 April.

Savage ([email protected]) Queensland University of Technology Benno Torgler ([email protected]) CREMA -Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts, Switzerland CESifo, and Queensland University of Technology 2 SURVIVING THE TITANIC DISASTER: ECONOMIC, NATURAL AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS Abstract The sinking of the Titanic in April 1912 took the lives of 68 percent of the people aboard. Who survived? It was women and children who had a higher probability of being saved, not men. Likewise, people traveling in first class had a better chance of survival than those in second and third class. British passengers were more likely to perish than members of other nations. This extreme event represents a rare case of a well-documented life and death situation where social norms were enforced. This paper shows that economic analysis can account for human behavior in such situations.

  • Interaction of Natural Survival Instincts and Internalized Social Norms Exploring the Titanic and Lusitania Disasters
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Interaction of natural survival instincts and internalized social norms exploring the Titanic and Lusitania disasters Frey, Bruno S ; Savage, David A ; Torgler, Benno Abstract: To understand human behavior, it is important to know under what conditions people deviate from selfish rationality. This study explores the interaction of natural survival instincts and internalized social norms using data on the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania. We show that time pressure appears to be crucial when explaining behavior under extreme conditions of life and death. Even though the two vessels and the composition of their passengers were quite similar, the behavior of the individuals on board was dramatically different. On the Lusitania, selfish behavior dominated (which corresponds to the classical homo economicus); on the Titanic, social norms and social status (class) dominated, which contradicts standard economics. This difference could be attributed to the fact that the Lusitania sank in 18 min, creating a situation in which the short-run flight impulse dominated behavior. On the slowly sinking Titanic (2 h, 40 min), there was time for socially determined behavioral patterns to reemerge. Maritime disasters are traditionally not analyzed in a comparative manner with advanced statistical (econometric) techniques using individual data of the passengers and crew. Knowing human behavior under extreme conditions provides insight into how widely human behavior can vary, depending on differing external conditions.

The massive ship departed from Southampton, England, for New York, New York, at around noon that day. But unbeknownst to everyone at the time, it would never reach its final destination. The Titanic, one of the greatest luxury liners of the time, was owned by The White Star line, one of the largest ocean liner companies in the world. The Titanic was seen as unsinkable, so much so that it earned the nicknamed “The Ship that God Could Not Sink.”1 It had the finest features, the newest advancements of the time, and the best luxuries.

    Cold Storage A Media History of the Glacier By Alexandra H. Bush A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Anton Kaes, Chair Professor Jacob Gaboury Professor Deniz Göktürk Professor Kristen Whissel Spring 2019 Abstract Cold Storage: A Media History of the Glacier by Alexandra H. Bush Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media University of California, Berkeley Professor Anton Kaes, Chair This dissertation consists of five chapters in two parts. In the first part, I argue that in the early 20th century (1910-32), moving images and communications technologies like the radio and telegraph functioned to bring glacial environments into historical thought, breaking with a popular understanding of nature as eternal or cyclical. In order to do so, I draw on four case studies: two documentaries of early Antarctic exploration in Chapter One (The Great White Silence (1924) and With Byrd at the South Pole (1930)), and two exemplars of the interwar German Bergfilm in Chapter Two (Avalanche (1930) and SOS Iceberg (1933)). In each chapter, the films are read in conversation with archival sources found through original research. Taking up theories of modernity from cinema studies, I contend that like film itself, glacial temporality is characterized by radical contingency, as well as a tension between stillness and motion, the animate and the inanimate. Even as media technologies helped to reframe notions of cryospheric time, they were also encouraging an important shift in the spatial terms in which glacial regions were understood.
