Twenty years after its release in the movies, Titanic still counts among these movies that one never tires of watching. Why ? Because this masterpiece of James Cameron is the perfect alliance of a splendid scenario with a casting of dream but also of a prodigious soundtrack that is due to the talented James Horner.
A story of love in the legendary scenes, greatly carried by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, which obliges us to empty more than one box of tissues per minute from half the film, but that we will never forget.
- The meeting of Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater
As Rose prepares to leap from the Titanic in a surge of despair, a young man tries to dissuade him. A young man who is none other than Jack Dawson. But as she ends up hearing reason and tries to back down, Rose slips on her dress! Brave, Jack catches him just in time to save her. An encounter rather agitated, but resolved by a brave act worthy of the most beautiful fairy tales.
- Drawing of Jack Dawson
Draftsman and lover, Jack Dawson, decides to take Rose for model. An absolutely cult scene where Kate Winslet, naked, takes the pose in one of the Titanic suites, under the shy eye of Leonardo DiCapario. A scene that is also the first that both players had to play, under the request of James Cameron in order to break the ice. Moreover, the moment when Leonardo DiCaprio is wrong and launches "Lie on the bed .. I mean, on the sofa" was absolutely not premeditated! As for the sketch, it is actually drawn by James Cameron himself, like all the other drawings that one can see in the film.
- The practical course a little special
Like any self-respecting young woman in the world, Rose DeWitt Bukater is not used to spitting. A discipline that Jack Dawson very well mastered. Tired of meeting the demands of her rank, Rose decides to follow Jack's advice to learn how to spit like a man. And it's worth a visit.
- The first appointment
Another mythical scene, which melts all the hearts of artichoke, that of their first appointment. More beautiful than ever, Jack Dawson stands at the bottom of the steps of the reception room of the liner to wait for his beautiful. When suddenly she comes, she is there. Jack then takes that look - which melts all the hearts of artichoke - worthy of the most beautiful scenes of marriage when the bridegroom sees, in the distance, his future wife going towards the altar.
- "I fly"
This scene is undoubtedly the most cult scene in the film. Gathered at the front of the Titanic, on the prow, Jack and Rose contemplate the view of the ocean, but not only. Giving up completely in Jack's arms, Rose reaches out, and suddenly has the sensation of flying. Hand in hand, head against head, the two lovers exchange their first kiss.
- Third-class dance
Intrigued by the world of Jack, Rose decides to follow him in third class. And without surprise, the party is much more crazy than in first class! In total letting go, Rose then launches in a frantic dance alongside Jack.
- The scene of the car
Here we are. Here is the most intense scene of the film. While the weather is frosty outside, alongside the icebergs, Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt, are preparing to live a much more cozy moment in a car of the steamer. Like two lovers alone in the world, they exchange a kiss, then another, then ... the steam in the car does not allow us to tell you more.
- Goodbyes
This scene undoubtedly remains the most painful of the film. While the Titanic has sank to the bottom of the ocean, Jack and Rose try to survive by clinging to a piece of door floating on the water. Knowing very well that they would not hold on to two and that the water would kill them, Jack decides to sacrifice for Rose, letting her hoist on what makes them raft. In front of a Jack who ends up dying of cold, Rose then begins heart-warming farewells and lets him sink to the bottom of the ocean.
- "Rose Dawson"
Now rescued, Rose finds herself alone, among the few survivors. Absolutely devastated by the death of Jack Dawson, she decides to take her name. When a man asks for his identity in order to place his name on the list of survivors, it answers "Dawson, Rose Dawson".
- The heart of the ocean
The heart of the ocean is this absolutely sumptuous jewel that Rose wears in the film, but that also really exists. An enormous blue diamond cut in the shape of a heart, encrusted in a diamond necklace. A jewel with a value of 56 carats.
It is this same jewel that Rose Dawson, now very old, keeps preciously in the film. A symbol loaded with history that Rose decides to throw to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the film. Perhaps it was because this jewel was offered to her by Cal, the one she was to marry but she never loved ... Or maybe it is so that this heart is joined to that of the man she never stopped loving? Who knows ... What is certain, however, is that this film will have marked the beginning of a beautiful and long history of friendship between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
