Plot:

In 1996, treasure hunter Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of the RMS Titanic searching for a necklace set with a valuable blue diamond called the Heart of the Ocean. They discover a drawing of a young woman reclining nude, wearing the Heart of the Ocean, dated the day the Titanic sank. News of this drawing on television attracts the interest of the woman in question, Rose Dawson Calvert, now nearly 101, who informs Lovett that she is the nude woman in the drawing. She and her granddaughter Lizzy visit Lovett on his ship, and she recalls her memories as 17-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater aboard the Titanic. In 1912, young Rose boards the departing ship with the upper-class passengers, her mother, Ruth DeWitt Bukater, and her fiancé, Caledon Hockley. Also on board is Margaret "Molly" Brown, who makes the acquaintance of Rose's party. Distraught and frustrated with her engagement to Cal and her controlled life, Rose attempts to commit suicide by jumping from the stern, but a drifter and artist named Jack Dawson intervenes. Initially Cal, his friends and the sailors, overhearing Rose's screams, believe the penniless Jack attempted to rape her. She explains Jack saved her life, covering up her suicide attempt by explaining she slipped after trying to see the propellers. They strike up a tentative friendship as he shares stories of his adventures traveling and sketching, and their bond deepens when they leave a first-class formal dinner for a much livelier gathering in third-class.

Cal is informed of her partying in the steerage and forbids Rose to meet Jack again. Rose's mother also commands her to give up Jack and save her engagement to Cal in order to ensure their financial welfare. Eventually, Jack confronts Rose alone, but she is inclined to ignore their growing affection because of her engagement and responsibilities. However, after witnessing a woman encouraging her seven year old daughter to behave like a 'proper lady' at tea, Rose later changes her mind and decides to offer her heart to Jack in a forbidden romance. As a sign of her affection, she asks him to sketch her nude wearing only the Heart of the Ocean, which she had previously been offered as an engagement present by Cal.

Afterwards, the two run away from Hockley's manservant, Spicer Lovejoy, and they go below decks to the cargo hold. They enter William Carter's Renault traveling car and have sex, before escaping up to the ship's forward well deck. Rose decides that when they arrive at New York, she will leave the ship with Jack. They then witness the ship's collision with an iceberg, which critically damages it. Meanwhile, Cal discovers Rose's nude drawing and her taunting note in his safe. He plots revenge, deciding to frame Jack for stealing the Heart of the Ocean, and bribes the master-at-arms to handcuff and lock Jack in his office. Although Rose is at first indecisive, she later runs away from Cal, risking her chances of getting on a lifeboat with her mother, in order to find and rescue Jack.

Rose manages to free Jack with a fire axe, and finds that the third-class passengers are trapped below decks. Frustrated, Jack breaks through a gate, allowing Rose and others to make their way to the boat deck. Cal and Jack, though enemies, both want Rose safe and so they manage to persuade Rose to board a lifeboat. But after realizing that she cannot leave Jack, Rose jumps back on the ship and reunites with Jack in the ship's first class staircase. Infuriated, Cal takes Lovejoy's pistol and chases Jack and Rose down the decks and into the first class dining saloon. After running out of ammunition, he angrily shouts at them saying that he hopes "they enjoy their time together" and realizes that he has unintentionally left the diamond in the pocket of an overcoat that Rose is wearing. Hockley returns to the boat deck and gets aboard Collapsible A by pretending to look after an abandoned child. This is one of only two lifeboats remaining on the ship. Although Jack and Rose manage to avoid Cal's fury, they find that the lifeboats are gone. With no other options, they decide to head aft and stay on the ship for as long as possible before it sinks completely. Eventually, the ship breaks in half and begins its final descent, washing everyone into the freezing Atlantic waters. Jack and Rose are separated under the water but shortly reunite. Around them, well over a thousand people are dying painfully from hypothermia.

Meanwhile, in Lifeboat 6, Molly Brown tries to go convince Quartermaster Robert Hichens to go back and rescue people, as there is plenty of room, but he refuses, knowing that there is not enough room for all of them and that all the boats will be swamped. Jack manages to grab hold of a wall paneling, and gets Rose to lie on it. While lying on the wall paneling, Jack makes Rose promise that, whatever happens, she must get out alive. When Fifth Officer Harold Lowe returns with an empty Lifeboat 14 to rescue several people from the water, Rose tries to wake Jack, but then realizes that he has died in the freezing water. Upon this realization, she begins to lose hope and wants to stay there to die with Jack, but remembers her promise. She does her best to call out to Lowe, but she is hoarse and he does not hear her and rows away. Still remembering her promise to "never let go," Rose manages to unclasp Jack's frozen hand from her own, letting his body disappear into the sea. Throwing herself into the water, Rose takes a whistle from a dead Chief Officer Henry Wilde and blows it, and is heard. She is pulled to safety, joining the five other survivors from the water, and is taken on board the rescue ship RMS Carpathia. On the Carpathia's deck, Rose notices Cal coming down searching for her desperately. When he turns in her direction, she, who has a blanket wrapped around her, turns away, not letting him see her at all or revealing her to him. This is the last time she ever sees Hockley. Upon arrival in New York City, Rose registers her name as Rose Dawson and presumably starts a life on her own. Through the elderly Rose, we learn that Cal went on to marry another woman, and later committed suicide as a result of business losses in the Great Depression. The subsequent story of Rose's mother, who escaped on a lifeboat and was presumably rescued, is not told.

After completing her story, the elderly Rose goes alone to the stern of Lovett's ship. After she steps onto the railing, it is revealed that she still has the Heart of the Ocean in her possession. She then drops the diamond into the water, sending it to join the remains of the single most important event of her life. She kept every promise she had made to Jack, and did everything they ever talked about doing. Rose lies in her bed, next to photographs of her life's achievements, as the shot pans across her into darkness. The film ends with a vision of young Rose reuniting with Jack at the Grand Staircase, surrounded by those who perished with Jack on the ship. They kiss and embrace, and all the people on the staircase start to applaud with open arms. It is left up to the viewer to decide the meaning of the ending, specifically whether if Rose is only dreaming or if it is truly a vision of Rose reuniting with her lover in the afterlife.

La leggenda del Titanic

Secondo la mitologia greca i Titani erano divinità potentissime che regnavano sul mondo prima che il suo dominio passasse , dopo una lunga lotta, a Zeus e alla sua corte olimpica. Figli di Urano e Gea, i Titani erano dodici, sei fratelli e sei sorelle: Oceano, Crio, Ceo, Iperione, Giapeto, Teia, Temi, Mnemosine, Febe, Teti, Crono e Rea. Sconfitti da Zeus, vennero relegati per l'eternità nelle viscere della Terra. Secoli e secoli dopo, un nuovo Titano sarebbe apparso sulla Terra, sotto forma di colossale nave passeggeri transoceanica, e come i dodici "fratelli maggiori" sarebbe assurto a simbolo di imponenza e di sfida al cielo. Opera dell'uomo e non di un dio, anche il Titanic sarebbe stato condannato alle profondità, questa volta del mare. Come noto, il Titanic lasciò l’Europa alla volta di New York l'11 aprile 1912 e affondò solo pochi giorni dopo, il 14 aprile, dopo aver urtato un iceberg.

Sulla vicenda sono stati versati fiumi di inchiostro, dato l'interesse e il fascino suscitato in numerose generazioni di lettori, registi, scienziati e storici. Il mito del Titanic iniziò persino prima che la nave affondasse: all’epoca era ritenuta la nave più sicura del mondo, i giornali ne parlavano soltanto in maniera eccellente, descrivendola in articoli ricchi di superlativi, ma subito dopo l'affondamento coloro che avevano prenotato il viaggio cambiando, poi, idea, spiegarono questo cambiamento come una premonizione che la nave fosse stregata.







Oggi la dinamica dell’affondamento appare chiara anche se non sono mancate ipotesi di ogni genere, comprese quelle più fantasiose. La nave "più sicura del mondo", in realtà, non aveva sufficienti scialuppe di salvataggio, non aveva adeguati compartimenti stagni e il personale non era addestrato per gestire l’emergenza. Mancava, perfino, un sistema di altoparlanti interni e segnalazioni d’allarme per avvisare i passeggeri in caso di pericolo. Oggi sembra inaudito, ma all’epoca, era sufficiente che una nave avesse scialuppe di salvataggio solo per un terzo dei passeggeri. Nel Titanic, inoltre, molte scialuppe non furono inserite perché “avrebbero rovinato l’aspetto” della nave, visto che i costruttori e gli armatori erano convinti che non sarebbero mai servite.

Il Titanic, infatti, era considerato uno dei risultati eccellenti del positivismo tecnico di matrice ottocentesca: era esageratamente grande, lussuoso, c’erano saloni arredati imitando antiche dimore patrizie, colonne dorate, pannelli in legno pregiato e inserti di madreperla. Non mancava una piscina coperta, la palestra, il bagno turco, saloni di svago, bar, salotti... ovviamente solo per i passeggeri di prima classe. La storia del Titanic iniziò nel 1907, quando fu decisa la realizzazione di tre grandi e lussuose navi gemelle, l’Olympic, il Titanic e il Gigantic (a quest’ultimo, dopo la catastrofe del Titanic, venne cambiato il nome in Britannic). I lavori di costruzione iniziarono verso la fine del 1908 nel più grande cantiere navale di Belfast, Harland & Wolff. In circa due anni, nel maggio 1911, il Titanic fu varato e dopo dieci mesi completato: un tempo di costruzione record per l’epoca.







Con a bordo molti emigranti irlandesi nella terza classe fiduciosi di cominciare una nuova vita in America, il Titanic salpò da Queenstown, Co. Cork, l'11 aprile 1912, quasi senza aver fatto complete “prove in mare” per la fretta che avevano gli armatori di battere la concorrenza. Il comandante Edward John Smith, infatti, aveva dato ordine di spingere le macchine al massimo nel tentativo di attraversare l’Atlantico in tempi record.

Per un paio di giorni la navigazione fu regolare e, per l’epoca, molto veloce.

Domenica 14 aprile 1912, la stazione radio di bordo ricevette numerose segnalazioni che riferivano la presenza di iceberg vaganti lungo la rotta, assai frequentata da navi passeggeri e da trasporto.



In serata la navigazione procedeva regolare, il mare era tranquillo, mancava la luna ma la visibilità era ottima, il cielo era limpido e stellato. Alle ore 23,40 le vedette, che per la fretta di partire non erano dotate di adeguati cannocchiali, avvistarono a occhio nudo un enorme iceberg dritto di prora e lanciarono l’allarme. William Murdoch, ufficiale di guardia, ordinò l’indietro tutta e una virata ma la nave era troppo veloce - circa 22 nodi - e l’ostacolo era a poco meno di cinquecento metri di distanza. Il proposito, allora, fu quello di passare a sinistra dell’iceberg, sfiorandolo con il fianco destro; invece, si ottenne il tragico risultato il Titanic cozzò contro la massa di ghiaccio che ne squarciò il fianco per una novantina di metri su una lunghezza complessiva di circa 270 metri.

Il Titanic aveva 16 compartimenti stagni e sarebbe stato in grado di navigare con quattro compartimenti allagati ma l’iceberg squarciò la carena interessando sei compartimenti, fatto non previsto dai progettisti.

Alle ore 00,15 del 15 aprile 1912, venne lanciato l’SOS (recente innovazione per l’epoca) ricevuto da molte navi, la più vicina delle quali, il Carphatia, era a quattro ore di navigazione.



A questo punto iniziò la raccapricciante agonia della nave: il Titanic iniziò ad imbarcare acqua nei compartimenti di prua inclinandosi in avanti e sollevando la poppa. La nave si inclinò sempre di più e la tremenda pressione esercitata fece sì che, dopo essersi spente le luci, lo scafo si spezzasse in due tronconi: la parte di prua, più pesante, affondò subito e poco dopo toccò alla parte di poppa, che prima tornò al suo posto, poi si innalzò verticalmente per inabissarsi, infine, nelle buie acque. Le persone che affondarono con la nave e quelle che furono trascinate dal suo risucchio si suppone siano morte quasi subito, mentre le altre che, indossando i giubbotti di salvataggio, riuscivano a restare a galla morirono di ipotermia dato che la temperatura dell'acqua si aggirava tra gli 0° e i 2° C.

Il Carpathia arrivò sul luogo del disastro alle 4,00 e trovò una tragica calma piatta, le scialuppe con i 705 superstiti e il mare disseminato di corpi che galleggiavano. Le vittime furono 1518.



La prima notizia dell'affondamento uscì sui quotidiani di Belfast il 16 aprile 1912. La città, “madrina” dell’enorme transatlantico, pianse a lungo la perdita dei suoi cittadini e tuttora è affezionata alla tragica vicenda. Nei cortili della Belfast City Hall si trova una statua che ricorda i defunti del Titanic e esistono numerose associazioni “Titanic” con molti membri che hanno legami personali o familiari con le vittime o con i sopravvissuti all'affondamento. Il cantiere navale esiste ancora a Belfast e pochi anni fa sono state rilasciate per la vendita delle copie del progetto di costruzione del Titanic



TRADUZIONE



The legend of the Titanic

According to the Greek mythology the Titaniums were powerful divinity that reigned on the world before its dominion passed, after a long struggle, to Zeus and its Olympic court. Children of Uranus and Gea, the Titaniums were twelve, six brothers and six sisters: Ocean, Crio, Ceo, Iperione, Giapeto, Teia, Themes, Mnemosine, Febe, Teti, Crono and Guilty. Defeated by Zeus, you/they were relegated for the eternity in the bowel of the Earth. Centuries and centuries later, a new Titano would have appeared on the Earth, in the form of colossal ship momentary transoceanica, and as the twelve "greater brothers" you/he/she would have risen to symbol of grandeur and challenge to the sky. Work of the man and not of a god, also the Titanic would have been condemned to the depths this time of the sea. As known, the Titanic left Europe to the time in New York April 11 th 1912 and sank later only few days, on April 14, after having bumped an iceberg.

On the story they have been versed rivers of ink, gives the interest and the charm aroused in numerous generations of readers, directors, scientists and historians. The myth of the Titanic began even before the ship sank: to the epoch the surest ship of the world was held, the newspapers spoke only in excellent way of it, describing her/it in articles rich in superlatives, but immediately after the sinking those people that had booked the trip changing, then, idea, explained this change as a premonition that the ship was bewitched.







Today the dynamics of the sinking appears clear even if they are not missed hypotheses of every kind, inclusive those more fanciful. The ship "surer than the world", in reality, it didn't have enough lifesaving shallops, you/he/she had not adjusted watertight compartments and the personnel you/he/she was not trained for managing the emergency. it Missed, even, a system of inside loudspeakers and signalings of alarm to tell the passengers in case of danger. Today it seems unheard of, but to the epoch, it was enough that a ship had only lifesaving shallops for a bystander of the passengers. In the Titanic, besides, a lot of shallops were not inserted because “you/they would have ruined the aspect” of the ship, considering that the builders and the shipowners were convinced that you/they would never have served.

The Titanic, in fact, one were considered of the excellent results of the technical positivism of nineteenth-century matrix: it was exaggeratedly great, luxurious, there were furnished saloons imitating ancient patrician abodes, gilded columns, panels in appreciated wood and inserts of madreperla. It didn't miss a covered swimming pool, the gym, the Turkish bath, saloons of relaxation, cafe, living rooms... obviously only for the passengers of first class. The history of the Titanic began in 1907, when it was definite the realization of three great and luxurious twin ships, the Olympic, the Titanic and the Gig
