If we will choose a movie which
is the most expensive, the most famous, the most popular, the most touching
and the most successful over the last half of the year, I think the answer
will almost be ¡§Titanic.¡¨ Speaking of this movie, we merely can describe
it as a miracle. It enjoys success that is beyond everyone¡¦s expectation
in the beginning. For many film reviewers, they don't look highly of it
at all. They think it can¡¦t make both ends meet. For the director, James
Cameron, himself, he worries much about it, too. For it has taken him too
much time and cost a lot of money to finish the job. In order to make up
the shortage of money, he is even willing to give up his salary and bonus.
He cares nothing about other people¡¦s words and just does what he wants.
Then, the outstanding performance worldwide explains everything. He makes
it. In Taiwan, this movie also forms a big current and establishes many
new records. For example, from its first showing until now, it has accumulated
hundreds of millions dollars. It goes through a hundred of million dollars
with twelve days, which is not during summer or winter vacation. (Jurassic
Park reaches the goal with nine days in summer vacation. ) At midnight
of December 24, seven hundred of people objected that they couldn¡¦t get
the tickets of Titanic. In order to make them calm down, the theater promised
to add the numbers. Its original soundtrack also becomes the hottest record
during those days. In many stores, it is also in short supply. You can
hear the theme song everywhere, such as in the stores, in the cars, on
the radio or even on the campus. Besides, a lot of related products are
produced to follow the fashion. For instance, there are clothes, cups,
hats, watches, key chains, bags, notebooks or ¡§the heart of the ocean.¡¨ |
¡§This time, Titanic doesn't bump into the iceberg,
but¡K¡¨ It is the advertisement of the movie, ¡§Deep Rising.¡¨ What is
¡§Deep Rising?¡¨ When it comes to this film, most of the people may not
be so familiar with. To explain it with simple words, it can be said as
the combination of ¡§Titanic¡¨ and ¡§Alien.¡¨ In this film, the focus is
on a monster. It is composed of the legs of octopus, the jellyfish¡¦s body
and the head of anemone. It eats everyone but the main male and female
actor in the ship. Compared with Titanic, it becomes less romantic but
more bloody. If it were true that Titanic hits the monster, what would
be the consequence? |
Rose and her family were walking toward the greatest
ship with a lot of people roaring around them. The atmosphere was so happy
and joyful. But in Rose¡¦s mind, she felt nothing interesting at all. She
knew clearly that this dreamy ship was like a jail and would send her back
to America. Then, we turn the focus to another scene. Jack was gambling
with his friend in a small tavern. He said to his opponents proudly, ¡§ha,
what will be your next stake? I have won for three times.¡¨ One of his
opponents said, ¡§I don¡¦t believe I can¡¦t win. Look! Here are two tickets
for Titanic. If you still prevail over me, I will give them to you.¡¨ Jack
said, ¡§It¡¦s a deal. No problem.¡¨ Some time later, a cheerful sound was
heard. ¡§I get it! I get it!¡¨ Jack was shouting. ¡§Hurry up! Let¡¦s go!
The ship is going to leave. Let¡¦s go! Let¡¦s go to America, the most beautiful
country in the world.¡¨ With everyone¡¦s praise, blessing and dream, the
ship starts its journey. But at this moment, nobody knows what was waiting
in front of him or her. They didn¡¦t perceive the step of danger is coming
toward them. On the deck, Jack still immersed in his happiness and called,
¡§Do you see the Statue of Liberty? Oh, how wonderful it is! I am the king
of the world.¡¨ |
¡§ One day in
the afternoon, Jack met Rose. He was so surprised with her appearance.
In his mind, he thought, ¡§What a beautiful girl she is!¡¨ Rose was lying
on a couch and didn¡¦t notice Jack; therefore, Jack started to sketch her.
A few minutes later, Rose found him and asked, ¡§What are you doing?¡¨
¡§I am sketching.¡¨ Jack replied. ¡§Who is the model?¡¨ ¡§You.¡¨ ¡§Me?¡¨
¡§Right.¡¨ ¡§Are you a painter?¡¨ ¡§You may count.¡¨ ¡§Could I see it?¡¨
¡§Wait for a minute. I haven¡¦t finished yet.¡¨ After seeing his work,
Rose was shocked. She said to Jack, ¡§You are so great. You are a genius.¡¨
¡§Thank you for your admiration.¡¨ he said. ¡§Oh, Jack. I think I have
fallen in love.¡¨ ¡§Really?¡¨ ¡§Would you like to come to my room tonight?
We can talk more about paintings.¡¨ ¡§I would be there on time.¡¨ |
At that day¡¦s night, while Jack and Rose sat
on the bed and started to kiss, a huge sound occurred. A lot of people
were screaming and howling. But after a few minutes, everything was calm
down. Jack and Rose felt strange and were curious about it. As a result,
they opened the door and went to see what happened. There was nobody on
the corridor but blood everywhere. Rose was so frightened. She held jack¡¦s
arm tightly and asked, ¡§What¡¦s going on, Jack? Where is everyone? What
does the blood mean?¡¨ ¡§I don¡¦t know. It seems that something very terrible
has happened.¡¨ Jack said. Suddenly, they saw a wriggly and slippery thing
in front of them. ¡§What¡¦s that?¡¨ rose asked. ¡§I have no idea!¡¨ Jack
responded. When the object perceived their temperature, it turned and attacked
them quickly. It opened it¡¦s mouth which there were still many pieces
of man¡¦s bodies in it and wanted to swallow them. ¡§Oh, my god! Jack!
I can¡¦t believe it!¡¨ Rose was so afraid and couldn¡¦t move. ¡§Run! Rose.
Run!¡¨ Jack cried out. ¡§Don¡¦t look back! Run! Hold me!¡¨ He held her
hands and ran to the deck. ¡§The ship has occupied by the monster, Rose.¡¨
¡§What are we going to do?¡¨ ¡§Jump to the sea. Jump! Rose!¡¨ ¡§Jump to
the sea? But, Jack, we will be frozen to death!¡¨ ¡§It¡¦s better than we
stay here. We may have the chance to survive.¡¨ ¡§Oh, Jack, I love you.¡¨
¡§I love you, too, Rose.¡¨ After finishing this word, he pushed Rose to
the sea suddenly. While Rose fell to the sea, she heard Jack¡¦s voice,
¡§Promise me, Rose. Never give up! You can survive. I will bless you.¡¨
When Rose turned her face, she saw that Jack¡¦s leg has been bit by the
monster. Soon, he was gone. |
¡§No, Jack, no¡K¡¨ Rose¡¦s voice floated in the
cold air. |
