Titanic Film eview
Titanic (1997), directed by James Cameron, uses the HMS Titanic's maiden and only voyage across the Atlantic as the backdrop for a romantic drama that explores the timeless relationship between Jack Dawson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and ose DeWitt Bukater, played by Gloria Stuart as the older ose and Kate Winslet as the younger oser, two people from vastly different social and economic backgrounds who happened to meet on the ship. Jack and ose are brought together by their mutual attraction and shared ambitions. Although their relationship is tragically cut short by the ship's sinking and death, Cameron's narrative framing and editing, characters, set design and costuming help to create a realistic atmosphere and allows the audience to see the influence Jack and ose had on each other.

The film's narrative framing is an editing device that allows Cameron to tell the story from a retrospective narrative (Part 4:….

Titanic
James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic has an aesthetic approach that is based on the gap between a historical event and our present-day reality. 2012 is the centennial of the sinking of the actual Titanic -- the last survivor of the disaster died three years ago in 2009 -- and has occasioned a re-release in 3D of the fifteen-year-old film. The film is framed by a story that makes the gap in time apparent -- in the frame narrative, a researcher played by Bill Paxton has discovered the location of the sunken ship in the 1990s, and brings up a locked safe containing a sketch of a nude woman wearing a necklace. It turns out that the nude woman in the drawing, Rose (Kate Winslet), is still alive. The elderly Rose (Gloria Stuart) is then summoned to the research vessel in the North Atlantic to tell her story. The long central….

Titanic" and "Refinement" by David R. Slavitt
David R. Slavitt is a well-known poet and film critic of the Newsweek Magazine, and as a literary writer, he has already published almost seventy-three volumes of poetry, and one of the most interesting and memorable poems written by David Slavitt are the poems "Titanic" and "Refinement." Both poems illustrate a special message that can be applied to any individual through a personal and social perspective. Because of this special and interesting theme in Slavitt's poem, a critical analysis will be made. These two poems will be critically analyzed according to its theme and message (implicit and explicit).

The first poem, in 'Titanic," Slavitt uses the ship Titanic and its history in sending out a social and personal message about the high-class people of the society. The poem extends the message about an individual's longing, want, and preference to 'drown first-class,' just like what….

movies explore historical world events. The movie Titanic (1997) directed by James Cameron and staring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet explores the sinking of the Luxury liner Titanic. Titanic not only explores this historical event but tells a love story in the process. The love story encompasses the lives of the two characters played by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Kate is the daughter of wealthy parents who is already engaged to marry someone else while Leonardo is a pauper that falls in love with Kate.
There is nothing historical about the love affair between the two, that aspect of the movie is pure entertainment. But the fact that the ship hit an iceberg and was utterly consumed by the sea is indeed a historical fact. The film explores what are believed to be the reasons why the ship hit the iceberg. The movie determines that the men who were….

HANS PEDER JENSEN, by Executor of the Estate Carla Christine Jensen Plaintiff,
THE WHITE STAR LINE, Defendant.

The law suit was brought by Carla Christine Jensen, fiancee of Hans Peder Jensen and executor of his estate (as expressed in Mr. Jensen's will). Ms. Jensen, though not yet wife of Mr. Jensen, was entitled to bring about the law suit as the sole executor of Mr. Jensen's estate. Both Mr. And Ms. Jensen were traveling on the Titanic, when the ship hit an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland on April 14, 1912 at 11:40 PM and sank a few hours later at 2:20 AM. Most of the story in the "mock" trial is true. Mr. Jensen did indeed lose his life in the shipwreck and his fiancee was indeed saved later on by the arrival of the Carpathia.

Ms. Jensen, as Mr. Jensen's executor, has sought compensation on Mr. Jensen's behalf, for….

What eally Happened to the MS Titanic?Laid down on March 31, 1909 and launched on May 31, 1911, the MS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England to the New York City. Lauded as being practically unsinkable by its owners, the British White Star Line, the sinking of the Titanic claimed approximately 1,500 passengers and crew, making it the deadliest maritime disaster in history up until that time. The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed description of this incident and its multiple causes as well as what lessons were learned and the consequences of this maritime disaster. Finally, an examination of salient social, cultural, or other factors that may have contributed to this disaster is followed by a summary of the research and key findings in the conclusion.1. Description of the incident itself….

He has won numerous other awards, including the Golden Globe Award and the Grammy Award (Ibid).
Unfortunately for Horner, this success has also been a source of huge controversy. He has been criticized for ofter transposing hooks, orchestral motifs, or even larger passages from other musical scores of his own or more controversially from other composers and from other major motion pictures. These allegations are the main points of ferocious debate between supporters and detractors of Horner. hatever the case, one must admit that the raw power of the music has one going all the way in their matching up their attention and their emotion immediately with film characters who have become cultural and cinematic icons in an unforgiving world ("Filmtracks").

Conclusion

To sum up, Celine Dion in My Heart ill Go On has been rated as one of the best soundtracks ever made. It is the opinion of this author that….

Etheridge Knight's "Dark Prophecy: I Sing of Shine"
As much as I love lyric poetry, I also love how Etheridge Knight's "Dark Prophecy: I Sing of Shine" has an epic scope. He brings to light a hidden aspect of our common American history by focusing on the sinking of the Titanic. Instead of going down with the ship, his hero Shine swims to safety. Symbolically, wealthy passengers who would look down on this black man now desperately offer him "million dollar checks." Now that their life is at risk, what they used to value so much is actually worthless in the harsh, natural environment of the sea. This highlights a frequently-discussed aspect of the Titanic sinking, namely the difference between the experience of the lower-class steerage passengers and the wealthy elites, only Knight's poem (unlike the James Cameron epic) brings to light the racial dynamics of this divide.

Risk workshops allow for a strong modeling process of any project management problem. Risk workshops, when conducted effectively produce a prioritized list of risks that has an assigned action and stakeholders attached to that risk. As a project manager all risks rely on the details of the project. I would always expect to be briefed on any changes in budget, deadline or change in objective. Identifying risks that address these issues is important in assessing the value of risk workshops.
Prioritization of key principles and objectives is imperative in the project management way of business. Understanding the difference between a threat and a priority is essential for success. High-priority opportunities should always be addressed first since they compose the main objectives and goals for that project. Threats are important but should not cause the project to come off the tracks.

Film: The Historical Impact of Melodrama
In the first half of the 19th century, classical cinema was the norm in the American film industry, and filmmakers had become accustomed to uniform styles for creating visuals and sounds used in making motion pictures. Due to the dominance of this distinctive cinematic style, viewers had come to anticipate certain stylistic choices for certain narratives. However, by the second half of the century, melodrama had become the most popular kind of theatrical entertainment, and according to illiams, it successfully tested the boundaries set by the classical Hollywood style (353). By definition, melodrama is a genre in film designed to appeal to the emotions of the audience. The style derives its name from the music it uses to create tension, accompany action, and generate mood; and it is characterized by moral polarization, pathos, heightened emotions and extravagant theatricality. Its popularity in the 19th century was….

Graves, R.N. (1995). Hardy's "The Convergence of the Twain." The Explicator, 53 (2): 96-99.

In this essay, the eventual unity of the iceberg and the Titanic is described as a kind of love relationship. Ironically, the supposedly unsinkable ship and the iceberg were 'born for one another' to create a historical, real life metaphor of the folly of humanity. The word 'consummation' at the end of the poem is given great significance. There is a kind of humor to how the jarring hemispheres -- the 'shaken world' -- makes the crash seem like a common wedding night metaphor -- 'the earth moved.' The unity of ship and iceberg is like a sexual union of an overly willing groom and a cold bride. The ship is an illustration of the Victorian folly of trying to overcome the natural world -- both the coldness of the sea and also human sexuality.

The way that the director deals with the response of the various characters to the disaster is also filled with psychological depth and intrigue. The film also deals with the way that people respond to situations of life and death. Others would argue that the depth and intellectual range of a film like Titanic is not nearly as intensively "artistic" as Wild Strawberries. In other words, the suggestion is that there is an intrinsic difference between these two films.
On the one hand I would agree that Wild Strawberries is much more complex and "artistic" film than a commercial film like Titanic. One of the reasons for this view is that Wild Strawberries demands a much more intensive response and is more thought-provoking than Titanic. On the other hand one also has to acknowledge that Titanic has moments of depth and insight, even though it is a more popular and….

Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats; "The Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy; and "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas. Specifically, it will identify the common theme in these three poems, which is time. Time stops in all three poems for various reasons, and adds to the impact of each poem in a special way.
COMMON THEME

In "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Keats is celebrating the past, stopped in time for a moment on an ancient Grecian urn. Time stands still on the urn, and all the people depicted on it are caught in a fleeting moment of time. Nothing around them can ever change, from the trees, to their love, to their age. "Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; / Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, / Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve; / She cannot fade, though thou hast….
