A Formalism Approach to “Titanic”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the movie “Titanic” and interprets its major themes from the formalism approach. Literary formalism virtually always encompasses stories of epic proportions and certainly the story of Jack and Rose, situated against the background of one of the modern world’s most dramatic disasters, serves as an example of such. From the perspective of formalism, it is important to interpret James Cameron’s blockbuster movie “Titanic” as an exercise in both symbology for great passion and romance, as well as an understanding of the hero’s (or heroine’s) epic journey in self-discovery and personal awareness and understanding of the world in which he or she exists. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
