Introduction of titanium (1997)

Paramount Film Company and 20th Century Fox Film Company adapted the Titanic incident into a movie in 1997, which was shown all over the world and made a sensation all over the world.

The film took five years to shoot and cost 200 million dollars. After nearly five years of careful planning and preparation, the film started shooting in July, 1996. After a year of painful struggle and numerous delays, it was finally completed at the end of February. 1997. Everything wants the perfect James. Cameron also used up extreme special effects in the film, with a budget of more than 200 million dollars, making Titanic the most expensive film in film history. And ranked first in the global box office list! It's a myth in the history of world movies! This film is a masterpiece to show the level of modern computer special effects technology. The film's miraculous and unprecedented box office success made it a symbol of Hollywood at the end of the 20th century (perhaps just like Gone with the Wind), and James Cameron also reached the peak of world commercial movies.

At that time, it was the first film with a huge cost in the history of movies, with a global box office income of $65.438+$83.5 million ($600 million in North America and RMB 360 million in China), making it the first movie in the history of the world and North America. An unsinkable love swan song on a sunken ship, a warning motto that human beings should always examine their inferiority.

◎ Synopsis:

In order to find the Titanic that sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 19 12 and the priceless "in the heart of the sea" gem on board, treasure hunter Brock salvaged a rusty safe from the sunken ship, but only found a well-preserved sketch-a young woman wearing a diamond necklace. This TV news caught the attention of an old woman of 100. Excited, the old man rushed to Brock's salvage boat by helicopter. So her name is Ruth? Dawson is the woman in the portrait.

Looking at the portrait, the old scenes reappeared in front of the old man: 19 12. On April 10, the Titanic, which was preparing for its maiden voyage, docked at the port, and the dock was crowded with people, scrambling to witness the largest and most luxurious ship in human history. Ruth, a beautiful and elegant aristocratic lady, boarded the first class of Titanic with her mother and her fiance, Carl Hawkley, son of the steel king. At the same time, another hero of the film, Jack Dawson, a young vagrant painter, was lucky enough to win a third-class ticket through gambling. He shouted "We are the luckiest in the world ..." He boarded the spaceship at the last minute. The Titanic set sail. The Atlantic Ocean in early spring is sunny and blue. Jack and his partner stood at the bow of the boat, looked ahead and shouted, "We are the kings of the world", as if the world belonged to them at this moment.

Ruth, who lives in the upper-class social circle, has long been tired of the hypocrisy of the nobles and feels like a caged bird. She came to the deck with a frown and looked into the distance to ease her worries. As soon as Jack saw Ruth, he was deeply attracted by her temperament. As night falls, after another debauchery, Ruth feels extremely helpless about the future and marriage; She rushed to the deck and tried to jump into the sea to end her life. Jack found it in time and persuaded Ruth with his sincerity and unique humor at the critical moment. Although Carl was reluctant, he had to invite Jack to dinner in the first class in order to thank him for saving his wife. Carl wanted to take the opportunity to humble himself to Jack, but he didn't expect Jack's frank words to win the house applause at the dinner table. Jack and Ruth met from then on, and Ruth confided her depression to Jack: "I think this life is just like this, as if it had been a lifetime." Numerous banquets, dances, yacht races and polo matches are accessible to narrow-minded and careless people. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff. No one pulls me back, no one cares, and no one even cares. " With Jack's guidance and company, Ruth found her long-lost happiness, and her bright smile finally permeated her face again.

Ruth's fiance Carl was very unhappy when he found out about Jack's relationship with Ruth. He gave Ruth a priceless diamond necklace "in the middle of the sea" and expressed his intention to win Ruth's heart. However, in Ruth's eyes, Carl is just a complete snob, and she doesn't want to marry him from the bottom of her heart. However, under the pressure of her mother and fiance, Ruth had to deliberately avoid Jack's feelings, but it was because of this that Ruth realized that she had fallen in love with Jack deeply.

From acquaintance to love, although it is only a few days, Ruth and Jack have been inseparable. In the bedroom, Ruth put on In the Center of the Sea, and Jack drew a portrait that she will never forget. After the Titanic landed, Ruth decided to live with Jack regardless of the pressure of family and etiquette. Happiness seems to be only one step away from this couple.

Bruce Ismay, the manager of White Star Shipping Company, advised Captain Smith to speed up the ship in order to make Titanic surpass the Olympic maiden voyage record, regardless of the potential iceberg threat. 14 that night, the sea was surprisingly calm and the Titanic was still running at full speed. The observation deck immediately notified the cockpit and the first mate when it found the iceberg ahead, but the ship with large inertia had no time to escape. The starboard side of the hull is separated by icebergs, and five watertight compartments are flooded. The so-called "unsinkable" Titanic will sink in two hours. At this time, the lifeboat on board was only enough for half of the passengers, and the ship was in a panic.

Unexpectedly, Jack was framed by Hockley for stealing diamonds and was locked in the lower cabin. Ruth, who didn't know the truth, waited for the lifeboat on the deck with others, but she still believed that Jack was innocent. Ruth returned to the empty cabin in despair to look for Jack, and found a life-saving axe at the critical moment to save him. When they came to the deck, Ruth got into the lifeboat under Jack's persuasion. The lifeboat was lowered slowly, and Ruth was in a trance. Suddenly, she gave up the last chance to escape and jumped back to the Titanic. The couple embraced each other tightly.

The "dream ship" Titanic began to sink slowly, and a tragedy began to be staged. The dark sea and the sky is linked together, mercilessly devouring desperate passengers. Jack took Ruth to the stern and climbed the railing (where their love began) until the Titanic sank. After the two men struggled out of the huge whirlpool, Jack pushed Ruth to a floating board, but he soaked himself in the cold sea water.

A few minutes later, the lifeboat returned to rescue Ruth, who was dying, while Jack, who was already frozen, was ruthlessly swallowed up by the sea of ice. Ruth kept her promise to Jack and lived bravely.

Eighty-four years later, Ruth went to the place where the Titanic sank, threw the love in her heart into the sea and let it rest in peace at the bottom of the sea.

◎ In the center of the sea-Hope Blue Diamond;

At that time, when filming Titanic, director James Cameron asked every prop to be real, so diamonds were no exception, except that the name of diamonds was based on hope, not the ocean, and the name in in the heart of the sea was written by the screenwriter for the plot.

Classification of Hope and Bad Luck: Stone Language —— Mysterious Magic of Rare Blue Diamonds

Beautiful and crystal-clear diamonds are a treasure given by God to the world, and transparent diamonds with bright dark blue are even rarer. There are only a few big diamonds in the world, which are hard to find. Among them, the world-famous diamond "Hope" is a rare blue diamond.

The existing diamond "Hope", weighing 45.52 carats, has an extremely rare dark blue, clear and transparent, and the blue color does not contain a trace of impurities, showing a beautiful feeling. However, when people look at it, they only feel that this beauty is faintly emitting a touch of evil, a fierce light, and even called it "the diamond of bad luck." The reason is that in its foggy history, it is full of strange and tragic experiences, which will always bring irresistible bad luck to its owner.

◎ Movie tidbits

The producer wanted Matthew McConaughey to play the leading role, but Cameron insisted on Leonardo DiCaprio.

The success of this film is inseparable from the guidance of historians. At the same time, the video about the details of the Titanic was also stunned by the members of the Titanic Historical Society. The DVD collector's edition contains 82 photos of Titanic, drawn by Titanic history expert Ken Marshall. This gentleman has participated in many Titanic expeditions and is a good friend of director Cameron.

Cameron joked that he actually made the Titanic because he could explore the wreckage. The whole expedition dived into the deep sea 12 times just to get a satisfactory photo. Cameron praised the equipment made by DIY. It was the deep-sea exploration that made Cameron more and more interested in the mysterious world under the sea, which prompted him to complete a series of exploration activities and movies in the future. Cameron said: I owe the Titanic.

The opening scene with special significance at the beginning of the film is the result of the director's thinking for 20 hours in the later stage of editing work. At first, the scene of the wreck of Titanic at the bottom of the sea was partly real and partly model shot. The way to distinguish is that when there are two submarines in the scene, it is a model, and when there is only one submarine, it is the real wreck of the Titanic.

Jack's first smoking scene in the movie was criticized as misleading children, but Cameron explained that smoking was a common phenomenon at that time, and if it was not added, the movie would look unreal.

Kate Winslet took pains to send letters of recommendation to Cameron again and again, including roses and the words "I am the rose you are looking for", and finally won the role of Ruth in this century's works. During the filming, she also suffered from pneumonia.

The scene of setting sail was shot in front of a green screen in a parking lot. The picture of the sunken ship is simulated by models and computer special effects (such as waves and passengers). The actors perform on the green screen, and the stunt team synthesizes the picture of the glacier. The director is telling the actors where to look, and they must assume that the Titanic is sinking there.

The scene of the lifeboat searching for survivors was taken in a large water tank filled with more than 350 thousand gallons of water.

Most of the "oceans" in the film are actually only 3 feet deep.

Because only the right half of the full-scale Titanic model is completely completed, the director deliberately took out props with opposite roles to shoot, and then the film was played backwards, so if there are props on board that need words, it needs to be made in two sets.

Titanic, which cost more than 200 million dollars, was the most expensive movie at that time. The filming process lasted five years. After the shooting, the whole device was sold as scrap metal.

In the film, Ross called "Jack" 80 times, not counting the times of calling him "Mr. Dawson", while Jack called "Ross" 50 times.

Jack's line "I am the king of the world!" " ("I am the king of the world!") ) was rated as one of the most classic movie lines in 100 years by the American Film Academy. Jack stood at the bow of the Titanic and shouted, then the camera slowly pulled back to overlook the whole Titanic. This short 10 second used very advanced computer production technology at that time, and it took about 1 10,000 dollars to complete. Of course, it only needs $6,543,800+0,000 now.

The portrait of Ross in the film was painted by Cameron. Because he is left-handed, he deliberately changed the lens with a mirror to make it look like Jack drew it with his right hand. This portrait was actually copied from a photo taken by Kate Winslet. Of course, Winslet wore a bikini when taking pictures, and the part that was not shown was completed by the director's imagination. As for the painting signed by Jack, it was of course arranged by the director James Cameron. It is said that all the sketches of Jack in the film were written by Cameron.

Leonardo's pet lizard was injured by a truck during filming, but recovered under Leonardo's careful care.

Jack, this is the place where we first met. ) This line was improvised and generated by Kate Winslet. It was also her suggestion that Ross spit in Carl's face. In the script, Rose poked him with a hairpin.

In the film, Jack tells Ross to "lie on that bed, er, I mean the sofa" (lying on the bed, er, I mean the sofa. ) The original script was "Lying on that couch" (Lying on the sofa), but Leonardo was wrong (he was honest). But Cameron liked this mistake very much and kept it.

When the captain said "full speed ahead", someone shouted "full speed ahead!" . This cry comes from director Cameron.

In the film, the scene of Jack and Rose spitting in the competition was opposed by almost everyone from producers to actors, from film company owners to crew members. However, Cameron believes that his films should be innovative, not hidebound. In fact, this scene has also become one of the scenes that the audience still remembers, which is of great benefit to showing the personality and background between the characters.

On the issue of Murdoch, one of the most controversial figures, James Cameron said that he respects him very much and thinks he is a hero, but it is really impossible to focus on Murdoch for artistic treatment.

Director Cameron filmed another ending for the film. In this ending, Lao Rose didn't throw "In the Center of the Sea" into the sea at first, but had a spiritual exchange with the crew. The ending of the original script was dismissed by director Cameron as too profound, but Cameron also claimed that he liked the ending very much.

The main story of this film is completely fictional. There was a similar incident that year, but from the time when it was discovered or recognized, it was not the prototype of the hero and heroine.

◎ movie soundtrack

This soundtrack uses symphony, synthetic instrumental music, pop music, Irish music and orchestral music, which can be said to be ubiquitous. But its success lies in doing everything very well. The combination of synthesizer and symphony is annoying, the ethereal bagpipes are a little sad, and the vocal chorus ignites the atmosphere from time to time. Finally, Celine Dion completely detonated her feelings, and countless people began to cry. Cisel took a back seat in the soundtrack, and her singing seemed to be silently praying, arousing people's infinite reverie in the ethereal.

◎ movie special effects:

Rob Legato of Digital Domain Digital Studio in the United States, when talking about the production of this film, his most commonly used word is "realism". "Before I started making this film, I couldn't imagine what the terrible night of the shipwreck would be like." Mr Legato is the visual effects production director of Paramount Film Company. He said, "You can see people falling from a height of 230 feet, breaking their arms and legs, chimneys hitting them, ropes crackling and breaking, and one end of the boat is sinking rapidly. People who are in a panic are very scared and don't understand what happened ... This amazing visual special effects technology created a terrible scene at that time."

Softimage|3D, a three-dimensional animation creation system of Microsoft Corporation in the United States, is mainly used for the animation production of this film. The work of 3D animation is divided into five working groups. The working group led by Matthew Butler is mainly responsible for tracking the camera, determining the position of the object in the real shot and the position of the camera in the computer, and then providing these data to the team making scenes such as oceans, ships and people. These data enable passengers with 3D animation to touch the deck, walk in the corridor or lean against the railing. The seawater produced by computer animation can wash the hull; Smoke can come out of chimneys, and so on. These tasks are very arduous, and it is necessary to obtain motion control data from models with different specifications and motion matching. The team led by Richard Kidd is mainly responsible for making oceans with three-dimensional animation. This work will establish some parameters for time, wind speed, wave fluctuation, sun position and reflection, so as to make it closer to the ocean in real shooting, or create a complete digital ocean, dig out an area in it, replace this area with a good hull model lens, and then make the residue left on the water when the ship passes by, and use motion blur to make the ocean look more powerful.

The team led by RichardPayne is mainly responsible for the three-dimensional animation of the ship. They first made a 45-foot-long ship model with the scale of 1/20, and then synthesized the lens of the ship model in the area dug by the three-dimensional animation, and at the same time synthesized it with many different ship model exterior scenes. The team led by Kelly Port is mainly responsible for making all scenes except characters with 3D animation, such as seagulls, flags, fish, stars in the sky, debris falling from ship to ship, waves, ropes, smoke, fluctuating sails, icebergs, ice cubes on deck, broken glass and so on. When these productions are combined with real shots, it is conceivable that thousands of computer-generated characters will be the most attractive. The team led by Keiji amaguchi uses the motion capture system to capture all kinds of actions performed by actors, and applies the data to the three-dimensional animated character model. When combined with ship models, it is hard to believe that these figures with such vitality are made of visual effects. In the shipwreck scene at night in the film, the producer added key-frame animation to the motion capture from the actor's performance, because no one wanted to simulate jumping into the sea from 230 feet. This kind of keyframe animation with normal motion curve is easy to modify and expand. When you see the scene where the stern begins to tilt to 90 degrees and thousands of people scream for their lives in despair, 85% of the animation is done by key frame animation technology.
