Titanic (1997 movie)

It differs from most films released since the late 1980s in that it took fifteen weeks for its weekly gross to drop by 50%. Typically films drop by about 40% a week. These are listed in chronological order of release. Similar figures for the global box office are not readily available, but the international box office grew in significance for Hollywood movies in the 20 years between Star Wars and Titanic, and it is at least plausible that its worldwide gross of $1.8 billion is the largest all time even if inflation were accounted for. These vary widely in their faithfulness to the original novel, with some versions updating the period in which the story is set, and some even altering the gender of the story's protagonists. domestic gross is actually the sixth highest of all time, immediately behind The Ten Commandments (The Movie Times (http://www.the-movie-times.com/thrsdir/alltime.mv?adjusted+ByAG)). At least 15 film/television adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray have either been released or are currently in production. When corrected for inflation, the U.S. 6 news publications/periodicals are referred to in the novel.

It also received the following nominations:. The number of each chapter of The Picture of Dorian Gray in which a news publication/periodical is referred to is given in parentheses. It was at the time also the only movie of which both two people playing the same person (Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart as Rose and Old Rose) were nominated (remarkably, the second film to be so nominated, Iris, also starred Winslet):. This was replaced with a reference Émaux et camées, by Théophile Gautier, for the original edition of the novel published in July 1890. Titanic was nominated in 14 categories and won 11, being the second movie to win that number (the first was Ben-Hur). The original manuscripts of the novel contained a reference to an unnamed volume of sonnets by the real/historical individual Paul Verlaine. Titanic won Oscars in just about every category except for the acting and screenplay categories. Where the work is explicitly quoted in the text, in addition to being referred to, this is indicated.

The song was also a hit worldwide, going to the top of the pop charts around the world, another stellar financial success of its own. These works are listed in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Cameron changed his mind when Horner presented what he proposed and the song won a Best Original Song Oscar. 16 real/historical creative works are referred to in the novel. At first, Cameron did not want a song sung over the film's credits, but Horner disagreed, and without telling Cameron, went ahead and wrote one anyway, and recorded Dion singing it. These creative works are listed in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Céline Dion, who was no stranger to movie songs in the 1990s, sang "My Heart Will Go On", the film's signature song written by James Horner and Will Jennings. Two fictitious creative works are referred to in the novel.

Horner composed the soundtrack having in mind Enya's style. For chapters in which individuals from particular creative works are referred to, see 'Individuals referred to in the novel', above. Their relations were cold after their first cooperation in Aliens, but the soundtrack of Braveheart made Cameron overlook it. Chapter numbers are listed only for chapters in which a creative work is referred to explicitly. Cameron originally intended Enya to compose the music, but after she declined, he approached James Horner. These chapter numbers are specific to the revised edition of the novel first published in April 1891. It is true that lower percentage of third class passengers survived, but that could be simply because they had farther to go to get to the lifeboats. The number of each chapter of The Picture of Dorian Gray in which a creative work is referred to is given in parentheses alongside that work's title.

There is controversy on this point. One reference to a real/historical individual, in the original edition of the novel published in July 1890, was excised for the revised edition of the novel that was first published in April 1891. Another aspect of the film, the way in which the third–class passengers were completely fenced in below decks, has been described as a myth. 8 references to real/historical individuals, in the original manuscripts of the novel, were excised for the original edition of the novel published in July 1890. In the film he is portrayed as taking a bribe, shooting passengers dead and finally shooting himself. 20th Century Fox admitted that the baseless slurs on his character were included only as story decisions, and contributed $8,000 to the prize fund. These individuals are listed in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text, under the name by which they are most commonly known. In his home town of Dalbeattie in Scotland there is a memorial to his heroism and a charitable prize has been established in his name. 104 real/historical individuals are referred to explicitly in the novel.

The film was criticised for its portrayal of a historical character, the ship's First Officer, William McMaster Murdoch [1] (http://www.titanic-titanic.com/titanic%20memorial%20william%20murdoch.shtml) [2] (http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=00045O). 2 references to fictitious individuals not created by Oscar Wilde, in the original manuscripts of the novel, were excised for the original edition of the novel published in July 1890. The film was made in 1958 and at that point it was believed that the ship sank as a whole, and the film's sinking is depicted thus. These individuals are listed in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text, alongside details of their provenance. The 1958 William MacQuitty and Roy Ward Baker film A Night to Remember starring Kenneth More as Second Officer Charles Lightoller is considered by some to be a more historically accurate film, praised for its documentary-style quality. 31 fictional characters, referred to by name in the novel, are not creations of Oscar Wilde. Some contend that the film ended up with anti-British elements, portraying the British officers and crew as unethical and the Americans as heroic. Mr Ashton in the original edition of the novel was renamed Mr Hubbard for the revised edition of the novel.

The "romantic" story is improbable as class distinction at the time meant complete class segregation except during the Sunday morning service in the first class dining saloon (which conversely is shown in the film as segregated). The role of Mrs Leaf in the original edition of the novel published in July 1890, and her conversation with Dorian Gray, were significantly reduced for the revised edition of the novel that was first published in April 1891. There are some factual inaccuracies in the script: for example, the designer, Thomas Andrews, claims the ship to be built of iron in the film whereas she was actually built of steel. Where an individual also appears elsewhere in Wilde's oeuvre, this is indicated. They kiss as the crowd applauds at the couple, now together forever. Titles/salutations are only given here in lieu of a full name, when a full name is not given in the novel. At the top of the staircase, Jack turns and smiles at Rose, a young girl of 17 again, smiling back as he helps her up the last few steps. Chapter numbers are listed for chapters in which an individual's name is referred to either in full or in abbreviated form, but not for chapters in which an individual appears anonymously or pseudonymously.

A young gentleman opens the doors to the Grand Staircase, where we find all those who died on the ship all those years ago smile in greeting. These individuals are listed in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. We follow the corridors to the dining room. 71 Fictional characters, referred to by name in the novel, are creations of Oscar Wilde. Underwater, the Titanic looms out of the darkness and everything turns new again. These chapter numbers are specific to the revised edition of the novel first published in April 1891. She lies still in her bed, possibly asleep, but more likely something else. The number of each chapter of The Picture of Dorian Gray in which an individual is referred to is given in parentheses alongside their name.

Back in Rose's room we see pictures of her life's achievements, including a photograph of her riding a horse at the Santa Monica Pier, just as she and Jack had planned to do together. Some latter-day editions of The Picture of Dorian Gray silently change the word 'Jew', which is used disparagingly in chapters 4 and 7 of the novel, to the word 'man', presumably an instance of political correctness. As an old woman in 1996, Rose now goes onto the deck of the salvage ship and throws the Heart of the Ocean into the ocean where Jack died. Carson referred to the fact that Wilde had revised the novel, and cast aspersions upon his motivation for so doing. Upon arrival at New York, Rose discovers she still has the Heart of the Ocean tucked into the pocket of Caledon's coat. John Sholto Douglas' defence attorney in the first prosecution, Edward Carson, attempted to use The Picture of Dorian Gray as evidence of Wilde's corrupting influence upon Alfred Douglas. She bids him goodbye, then manages to get the lifeboat's attention to come back and rescue her. The survivors in the lifeboats wait for hours until the RMS Carpathia, the closest ship to answer and heed the Titanic's radio distress signals, arrives to save them. These changes to the novel are not merely of academic interest, but were relevant to the three prosecutions involving Oscar Wilde that took place in the spring of 1895, resulting in his eventual arrest and imprisonment.

Rose is heartbroken to realize that Jack has succumbed, as well. Critics have been especially interested in the purging of homoerotic themes and allusions during the course of the novel's development, so that while such themes and allusions abound in the final revised edition, they are less explicit than in previous versions of the novel - although no less effective for that. By the time one of the officers decides to row back and help those in need, almost all of the passengers have died of hypothermia in the freezing Atlantic. Nonetheless, it is instructive to compare the manuscripts and the two different editions of Wilde's novel. Rose and Jack stick together and wait with the hundreds of other passengers thrashing helplessly in the water, shouting desperately for those in lifeboats to row back and rescue them. The revised edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray, incorporating the 25 aphorisms of the "Preface", has come to be considered the standard edition, and is widely held to be superior to its published predecessor. The bow of the ship sinks deeper and deeper until the pressure on the hull causes the ship to split completely in half, before the two halves finally go under at 2:20 AM on April 15. This has the effect of extending the period of time over which the story occurs.

They finally make their way to the top deck, but the lifeboats are gone and they, along with hundreds of terrified passengers, have no choice but to try to stay on the ship for as long as possible before the titan sinks completely into the water. One especially notable change made for the revised edition is that whereas events in the latter half of the novel were previously specified as taking place around Dorian Gray's 32nd birthday, on 7 November; they were now specified as taking place around Dorian Gray's 38th birthday, on 9 November. They find many obstacles, including locked gates that are used to keep the third-class passengers from reaching the upper decks to safety, as well as Caledon's violent temper that forces them back to the lower decks. The artist can express everything.' - to the "Preface", when it was included in the revised edition of the novel published in April 1891. She frees Jack and they try desperately to make their way back above decks to escape the rapidly sinking ship. Wilde added another aphorism - 'No artist is ever morbid. Even though she has the chance to escape the sinking ship early on with her mother, Rose runs away from Caledon -- and her chance at getting into a lifeboat -- to find Jack. This "Preface", which could be considered an aesthetic manifesto, consisted of 24 aphorisms - the first being 'The artist is the creator of beautiful things', and the last being 'All art is quite useless' - expounding some of the key tenets of aesthetic philosophy.

Caledon discovers the relationship between Jack and Rose and gets even by framing Jack for stealing his diamond. Between the publication of the original edition of the novel and the publication of the revised edition, Wilde published his "Preface" to the novel, in the 1 March 1891 edition of the literary/scientific journal the Fortnightly Review. Despite the many efforts of the crew and engineers, the ship strikes the massive berg, flooding the lower compartments past their "unsinkable" capacity and causing the ship to begin its unstoppable descent to disaster. The table on the right shows how the chapters in the two different editions correspond to one another. On the night of April 14, 1912, the two lookouts see an iceberg directly in the Titanic's path. Whereas the original edition of the novel contains 13 chapters, the revised edition of the novel contains 20 chapters. Bruce Ismay even as the ship heads into the night. For this edition, Wilde revised the content of the novel's existing chapters, divided the final chapter into two chapters, and created six entirely new additional chapters.

Smith and his crew have been seemingly ignoring many warnings about upcoming ice fields in the ship's path, and the Titanic maintains the high speed suggested by White Star Line managing director J. A substantially revised and expanded edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray was published by Ward, Lock and Bowden in April 1891. In the meantime, Captain Edward J. It was an immediate sensation. They later consummate their relationship in the backseat of a car in one of the ship's cargo holds. The Picture of Dorian Gray was finally published on June 20, 1890 in the July edition of Lippencott's.... Rose asks Jack to sketch her wearing nothing but the Heart of the Ocean diamond, the same portrait the treasure hunters will find 84 years later. The book and its author are still referred to in the published versions of the novel, but are unnamed.

But eventually she decides to throw caution to the wind and offer her heart to Jack. One especially notable change is the removal from the manuscripts of references to the fictitious book Le Secret de Raoul, and to its fictitious author, Catulle Sarrazin. Jack is clearly falling in love with Rose, but Rose is inclined to ignore their growing affection due to her engagement and their different social standings. Some of these changes were made at Wilde's instigation, and some at Stoddart's. Their bond deepens when they later ditch the first-class formal dinner party for a much livelier gathering belowdecks in third-class. There was a delay in getting Wilde's work to press while numerous changes were made to the manuscripts of the novel (some of which survive to this day). In the meantime, Rose and Jack soon strike up a tentative friendship as he shares tales of his adventures in traveling and she expresses her own hopes, and he shows her his sketchbook of artwork. They both agreed to write for him and Doyle submitted his second Sherlock Holmes novel The Sign of Four.

Rose's company finds the two and Caledon reluctantly invites Jack to dine with their party the following evening in the first-class dining saloon as a thank you. To one dinner he invited Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. Jack sees her and intervenes to prevent her suicide. Stoddart was in London to solicit short novels for one of his enterprises, Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Rose is so unhappy about her forced engagement, as well as her endlessly shallow life, that she attempts to kill herself by jumping off the back of the ship. M. Meanwhile, a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson wins third-class tickets to the ship in a poker game. In the fall of 1889 J.

Rose clearly does not feel very much for Caledon, but her mother pushes for the marriage for financial security, to maintain their current lavish lifestyle and bolster their social cachet among Philadelphia elite. His servants send for the police, who find a bloated, ugly old man with a knife in his heart, and the portrait of Dorian, as beautiful as he was eighteen years ago. Rose, just 17 years old in April of 1912, boards the ship with the upper-class passengers with her mother and her fiance, Caledon Hockley. In a fit of rage, he picks up the knife that killed Basil Hallward, and plunges it into the painting. The woman in the picture is me." Rose, accompanied by her granddaughter, flies out to the recovery site and proceeds to tell the treasure hunters of her experiences on the Titanic. He has been vain in imagining that he could redeem himself. She phones the treasure hunter Brock Lovett and informs him that she knows of the diamond, the Heart of the Ocean, and also the identity of the beautiful young girl in the portrait: "Oh yes. He unveils the portrait to see that it has got worse: there is blood on his hands.

Rose DeWitt Bukater, an ancient but still lively woman of 101 years, watches a CNN report of the treasure hunt and sees the nude portrait. At his apartment, he wonders if the portrait would have changed, now that he has changed his ways. On a necklace around her neck is the diamond they seek: The Heart of the Ocean. After returning to London Dorian informs Lord Henry that he will be good from now on, and has started by not eloping with a vicar's daughter. It shows a beautiful young girl reclining with casual modesty on a couch. However, an accident occurs during the shooting and the brother is shot. One of them is a nude pencil portrait dated April 14, 1912, and signed "JD". At a shooting party at a country house, Dorian sees the brother stalking the grounds.

It contains, not the fabled treasure the adventurers had hoped for, but only papers. The sailor goes back to the opium den, where the woman tells him that Dorian has never aged for the past eighteen years. A safe is brought to the surface and is opened. He attempts to kill Dorian, but is deceived when Dorian tells him that he would have been too young to have been involved with his sister. It is 1996, and a treasure hunter and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic in their submersible. Sibyl Vane's brother, who is in the parlour, recognises the name, and follows him.
. After being rejected by the proprietor, who calls him by the name "Prince Charming", he leaves.

Cameron, who fought tooth and nail to finish the film, was rewarded with an Academy Award for Best Director. Dorian seeks escape from the deed he has done in an opium parlour. It held a virtual lock on first place at the box office for nearly four months and would become the highest grossing film of all-time with more than $1.8 billion in ticket sales worldwide. He then blackmails an old friend into destroying the body. By New Year's Day, the film had hit $100 million and showed no sign of slowing down. Dorian blames the artist for his fate, and stabs him to death. Moved to a crowded release date of December 19, 1997, the film opened with little promotion, but brought in a weak $28 million in ticket sales for the weekend. Within a week the gross tripled. He takes Basil to the portrait, which is revealed to have become montrously ugly under Dorian's sins.

But Cameron stood his ground and threatened edit-happy studio executives with the message: "You will cut my film over my dead body.". One day, Basil arrives to question Dorian about rumours of his indulgences. Dorian does not deny the debauchery, and endeavours to show Basil his soul. When director James Cameron finally delivered the film to Paramount, it ran over 3 hours and it was anyone's guess whether he would ever work in Hollywood again. Dorian accepts his fate, and over the next eighteen years indulges in the seven deadly sins, under the influence of a "poisonous" French novel given to him by Lord Henry. By the middle of 1997 Titanic had become the most costly film ever made (its reported cost hovered in the $200 million range) and the bills were still coming in. The next morning, Dorian decides to reconcile with Sibyl, but Lord Henry arrives to say that Sibyl has killed herself by swallowing Prussic acid. rights) panicked. Dorian realises that his wish has come true, and the portrait is bearing his sins.

The two releasing studios, 20th Century Fox (which handled the international distribution and actually had movie rights to the Titanic name) and Paramount Pictures (which had the U.S. The smile on his mouth has become crueller and less friendly. When this epic disaster film was not finished in time for its scheduled July 1997 release date, it sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood: studio execs began wondering if they might have another Heaven's Gate on their hands. Once he returns to his apartment, Dorian notices that Basil's portrait of him has changed. The film was directed by James Cameron and starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Frances Fisher, Kathy Bates, Eric Braeden, David Warner, Danny Nucci, Gloria Stuart, Victor Garber, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Bernard Fox, Ioan Gruffudd, Suzy Amis and Bill Paxton. Dorian rejects her, saying that her beauty was in her art. The 1997 film should not be confused with the Titanic movie made in 1953. Sibyl, whose only knowledge of love was through the theatre, loses all her abilities after experiencing true love with Dorian, and performs very badly.

As of 2005, Titanic has the highest box office take in movie history. Dorian invites Basil and Lord Henry to see Sibyl perform in Romeo and Juliet. The movie won 11 Academy Awards on March 23, 1998 including best picture of 1997. Her brother tells her that if Dorian harms her, he shall kill him. The bulk of the plot is set aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic during her fateful maiden voyage in 1912.
