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.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the film in relation to the reality of actual events. Reviewers found several production mistakes within the film and labeled the acting as lacking, but many vets still refer people to the film rather than to answer questions in detail, even 30 years after the fact. The difficulty rests in knowing that it depicts reality far too faithfully so that many vets cannot bear to watch it, and those who were present direct questioning people to the film, thereby repelling unwelcome questions.

The Vietnam War - as Told to Movie Audiences - 'Coming Home,' 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Born on the 4th of July'
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses three Vietnam War movies in the context of their symbology and the ways in which they represent the attitudes of Americans directly involved in the war and those presenting their cinemagraphic viewpoints of a war that did not have the simplistic good guy against bad guy scenario. By the late 1980s, both television and movie producers had become willing to consider Vietnam as a useful and marketable topic. Ironically, and more than probably - accidentally, America's artistic involvement in Vietnam has mimicked its military presence there. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
