It was pitch black in the cabin, and the huge shaking caused the passengers in the third-class cabin to climb up, this cabin was the accommodation of the third-class passengers, at the bottom of the ship, and closest to the bow, and when they turned on the light, they saw that the cabin was already full of water, and the sea was still seeping in under the door, and the shoes were floating on the water......
The camera panorama shows that this luxurious cruise ship, although still brightly lit, is no longer brave in the wind and waves, it is like a tired athlete, after a long run, stopping to breathe.
The ship floated silently on the sea, and people did not know what had happened at this time. But with such a ship with such a high insurance factor, no one will worry about its safety.
The icy night of the Atlantic Ocean spreads in the hearts of the audience, beautiful and cruel......
The third-class cabin was starting to get a little uneasy, as the rats had been running out from where they were hiding. They are not afraid to pass under the feet of men, and it is evident that their dwellings have been destroyed by something more terrible than men.
There is a deep understanding of this sensitive animal, the people who live at the bottom. In their rooms, the people who are in the company of people and often haunt them, except for cockroaches, are considered rats. Although people hate them.
But in a certain situation, because of their unique sensitivity, they can be a signal to predict a major disaster. When they are disturbed, it means that people's safety is also threatened.
Ruth, who had already made up her mind not to go back to the cabin, realized the danger of the Tetanic at this time, although she did not plan to live in the circle where she had lived for 17 years, and was ready to start a new life with Jack, but she still cared about the safety of her mother and Carl's life, which was her nature and the basic character of being a human being.
So, Ruth decided to go on another first class trip, and Jack, of course, accompanied her.
However, Carl, who was already in a rage, obviously did not intend to let the lovers go like this, he framed Jack for stealing the "Heart of the Ocean", Carl's plan was very successful, Ruth did not know how to judge the right and wrong in front of her, and looked at everything in front of her blankly, speechless...... Her mind was a little messy.
Jack struggled hard and yelled at Ruth, "You know I didn't steal!"
"Good boy, come with us!" the guard said as he desperately pulled Jake outward, and the two men twisted together, and Leger joined in.
Jack was dragged out the door, and he desperately shouted to Ruth, "You know I didn't steal......!
Ruth, played by Catherine Blanchett, looks blankly at her, after all, she is unworldly, and it is not so much that she cannot judge the intrigues of the world, but that she cannot change the reality in front of her.
This scene also made the audience worry, to be honest, the story of the whole film looks very cliché, and the plot is not novel, but under Cheng Xiaoyu's lens, the grand scene, the wonderful encounter between handsome men and beautiful women, the suspense of the huge disaster, and every frame can be used as a poster, all make this story fascinating.
The audience felt an unparalleled visual experience, and their mood also followed the film all the way to ups and downs, nervous, excited, happy and sad, at this moment, countless viewers shouted in their hearts: "Believe him!
However, the male protagonist was still taken away.
As for art, film critics have thought a lot, but for now, they can only see Cheng Xiaoyu's ruthless ridicule of the bourgeois upper class, his hatred of political marriage and his deep cry for the status of women, but these are all clichés, and they are far from being profound at present.
The film critics are waiting silently, and they are still oblivious to the public to watch this last hour or so.
"Captain, it's unfortunate that in a minute the water had grown to fourteen feet above the ship's backbone. Andrew pointed to the drawing, "The bottom three cabins and boiler room No. 6 have been flooded. ”
The location of the individual cabins is indicated on the drawings at a glance.
"That's right. The second mate nodded, he had just looked at the situation below with the engineer.
"When will it set sail," asked the shipwright, Esme. He has been standing in the back and listening to Andrew's introduction, he does not know the severity of the water ingress, but he thinks that since it is an "unsinkable boat", there is no big problem in entering some water, as long as he sets sail as soon as possible, he can still reach his destination.
"It's five cabins submerged now," Captain Smith's face changed as soon as Andrew's words fell, and he clearly knew what that meant.
At this time, Andrew's expression was very serious, which was very rare for him. Under the light, the beads of sweat on his forehead could be seen, and it would be impossible to sweat like this on such a cold day, if it wasn't for nervousness.
If there were still people living with a trace of fantasy at this time, Andrew's words would have completely shattered it. He didn't want to explain it to Esme anymore, because science is unforgiving, it doesn't take into account human desires.
"How much time is left?" Smith asked. This is the only thing that can be at the disposal of people.
"One hour, two hours at most," Andrew's answer made everyone in the room gasp.
"Mr. Midatt, how many people are on board?" Smith turned to the first mate.
"2200 people. ”
One hour, 2,200 people. These two numbers are like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head.
Smith turned to Esme, his gaze sharpened: "You're bound to get the headlines!"
The calamity that pervades human life is incredibly powerful, and it clings so tightly to all living that only a few can escape its clutches.
In first class, Carl slapped Ruth mercilessly, jealousy is a fire, it will burn reason and emotion, and people often make big mistakes because of this fire that gets out of control.
The crew began to hand out life jackets to all passengers, first to satisfy the distinguished first-class passengers, of course, and these unsuspecting people were still complaining about why they had not yet sailed.
The camera shifted to the telegraph room, and the captain said to his subordinate Phillips with an expressionless face: "Yes, send a shipwreck telegram to inform him of the coordinates." He took off his hat, looked around, and then took a deep breath: "Tell the ships that are coming, we are sinking, and we need immediate rescue." ”
After the captain finished speaking, he slowly put on his hat and turned to leave. The people in the telegraph room looked at each other, and no one could believe that it was true, but this incredible news came from the mouth of the captain, and there was nothing to doubt.
Phillips did not dare to hesitate, and his fingers immediately reached for the transmitter button......
April 15, 1912.
12:15 a.m.
The distress signal "CQD" and the Titanic's call code "MGY" were issued 6 times in a row.
There was a dead silence in the entire viewing hall, and this shot created this desperate mood too well, making the audience's mood extremely heavy.
The ship's eight exposed exhaust pipes suddenly let out a deafening roar, just as a hundred locomotives from Denver and Rio Grande rumbled through a tunnel at the same time.
This is the ship's reciprocating engine's excess vapor being exhausted from the bypass valve. The terrible screams added to the horror of the night......
The mask on the lifeboat was opened, and the crew began to lower the lifeboat.
There is no panic here, and there is no retreat from fear. All the personnel did not seem to realize that they were facing a catastrophe, and the crew adhered to their professional ethics and saw only responsibility for their work.
But the noble passengers were still in the hall, they couldn't stand the cold and noisy outside, and the first-class banquet hall was noisy, and the band was dutifully playing, even though death was already hovering over their heads, these people were still indulging in the sound of dogs and horses.
Life is a heroic epic about people. It describes the journey of the world in which people seek the mysteries of life but cannot find them, have the heart to know everything but are unable to do anything, and aspire to be strong but unable to overcome their weaknesses......
At this moment, the bow of the Titanic has been completely submerged in the water, the hull is tilted, and the tail is upturned, like a dying beast in the dark night.....
From a distance, although the Titanic has half sunk into the water, its luxurious style is still undiminished. The windows on the water were brightly lit, and the ship was also brightly lit, and even the surrounding sea was illuminated like a large blue-black gem, constantly glittering.
Another distress rocket shot into the night sky, and the fireworks exploded as if to hold a funeral for the sinking ship. The magnificent picture and tragic fate make for excellent fodder for a dark humor.
At this time, the first-class passengers who had learned the truth were in chaos on the side of the Titanic, and people were facing the doom of life and death. At this point, any order and rule loses its meaning, and only the power of those who have a way to deal with the crisis can be used, and this power is given at such a time to show its human fragility and vulnerability......
The upheaval in fate often shows its humor in this way: no matter how noble you are, how detached, how indifferent or how worldly and trivial, once you encounter a drastic change, the original human nature will always be squeezed and naturally revealed from the depths of your soul, and this is your true color.
On the lifeboat, the place where the person sits is occupied by some suitcases and luggage, which is the second need of the person. The crew had to throw the luggage into the sea one by one to provide conditions for more people to survive.
One picture after another outlines the real and tragic prelude to the escape.
An elderly couple hugged each other tightly, the old tears were in their eyes, and the two were unwilling to separate, so the crew had to pull the old woman away and push her onto the lifeboat......
A middle-aged woman had already come to the lifeboat, and she suddenly ran back again, hugged her husband who was standing behind the guard, and kissed him hard, and the tears of the two melted together......
And at this time, the heroine Ruth returned to the cabin at the bow of the ship to save her lover, Jack was handcuffed to the porthole, the sea was about to flood here, but love overcame everything, Ruth did not avoid or run away this time, she risked her life to save Jack.
When the safety axe splits the handcuffs, the hearts of many viewers are about to jump out of their chests, and some girls' tears have fallen.
The two of them went through countless dangers to escape from the bow cabin, but unfortunately the poor people in the third class were still locked underneath, and their right to life was ruthlessly deprived.
Jack leads everyone to find another way, the second male Carl gets the "heart of the ocean" and gives up going to his fiancée Ruth, where love is not materially important.
Finally, the people of the third class rushed to the deck under the leadership of Jack, which made the whole scene even more tragic, and at this moment all the obstacles of the crew who had been obeying the order were already powerless, and at the moment of life and death, the escape of thousands of people performed a grand human tragedy.
Death has not yet wielded the scythe of harvesting, human beings are frightened by their own fear and sink into the darkness of fear, people will always have a moment of success or failure in times of crisis, everyone's subconscious to evil or good will be a fight at this moment, when the evil exceeds the good, the evil part will pull the good part over, and the tilt of human nature will be like this Titanic, falling into the abyss of evil....
But at this time, the light of humanity was still shining, the band that should have fled for their lives continued to play in the panicked flow of people, and the artists in front of them were meticulously chanting comforting music, knowing that they were about to sink to the cold bottom of the sea, and they had a chance to escape.
Their attentive expressions made it seem like they were not on the deck of a large ship about to sink, but in the concert hall of Vienna. Every note, every beat is extremely accurate.
People's panic contrasts sharply with their focus.
If it weren't for a man who hurriedly ran over and bumped the violist's arm, the piece would have been played to the last note.
"What's the use? No one listens to us. The violist sighed and stopped playing.
There was a lot of noise all around.
The violinist played by Cheng Xiaoyu smiled indifferently: "No one listens to it in the restaurant, let's play it!
This is the first line of Cheng Xiaoyu's entire movie.
A fast-paced piece of music flutters across their strings.
It is difficult for the audience to describe their inner feelings at the moment, powerlessness in the face of nature, sublime over meanness, love and selfishness in the face of crisis...... Seeing this, Pei Yanchen's tears fell in his heart, and a sense of pride as a violinist arose, if she was here, she would also stand there and give the last tribute to life.
Carl stuffed the money and wanted to get on the lifeboat, but he didn't succeed, no matter who is going through the last bottom line of human nature, ladies and children are first, no man goes up, I saw a child crying and calling Dad to get on the boat, but the father said very calmly: "Dad will say goodbye to you for a while, just for a while." ”
The scene of the father trying his best to comfort his daughter has made many viewers begin to burst into tears, the girl's mother's tears flowed out, but she did not cry, such restraint and forbearance made the tear-jerking effect of the picture stronger, the silence in the viewing hall without paying, and the sound of sobbing mixed with the music, made the audience even more unable to suppress their tears.
Jack sent Ruth to the lifeboat, Ruth was reluctant to leave, Carl also rushed over at this time, he gently stroked Ruth's hair, saw that she was drenched, so he ripped off the long dress on her body that was fished out of the water, and then took off his coat and draped it on Ruth's body: "Come, change this." ”
Carl tricked Ruth into taking Jack with him and told her to go first, as if Jack was fully convinced that such a good thing would befall him, and persuaded Ruth to go quickly.
Jack was also looking at Ruth, who was gradually moving away from him, and he waved and smiled as if he was sending off a loved one on a trip.
Ruth gradually felt her eyes blur, and it was tears that slowly welled up in her eyes. As the lifeboat landed, a sense of farewell intensified. She couldn't forget everything that had happened in those few days, memories that had been etched into her mind that would never be erased.
This short period of time condensed the essence of a person's life, and made her feel more fulfilled than she had ever been. It was only when she spent time with Jack that she truly realized the true meaning of life. Now, for her, the years before she jumped into the sea, she was just a lifeless shell, and it was Jack who gave her a new life, like God made a Ruth. Not only did he save her body, but he also opened the windows to her heart.
Since then, she has felt that it is good to be alive.
Jack saw her tears, points of light flickering in the light, spilling out of Ruth's eyes and hitting his heart. Perhaps, it was just his feelings, his imagination, the illusion of the owner of his extremely strong love for Ruth. However, this is the most memorable moment of his wanderings. He will be separated from his loved ones until they meet again.
It would be a long wait in another world - if this world existed.
But just as the lifeboat was about to fall to the surface, Ruth suddenly lunged at a window in the open hull of the boat opposite, and grabbed the window frame.
The crowd was stunned by this unusual behavior, and leaned down on the side of the ship to watch, but Jack immediately turned and rushed to the lower deck.
As soon as Ruth climbed into the Titanic's hall, she ran upstairs. Jack rushed downstairs and hugged her, and the two of them hugged each other tightly...... From separation to reunion, it only takes a few minutes. But for them, it seems like thousands of years have passed.
Now, everything in the outside world no longer exists for them. All they have in their eyes is each other's figures, each other's tears, and each other's smiles...... Love, when it reaches its absolute height, is often mixed with a kind of courage that inexplicably throws everything out of the clouds, and the supreme only is love itself.
The audience did not see this scene in front of them, and tears welled up in their eyes.
Maybe they have never shed so many tears without a film, but today, in the second half of "Titanic", they can't control their tear ducts at all, and all the precious qualities in the disaster are worthy of praise and tears........
"Why do you do that? Why...... You're so stupid......" The phrase came out of their mouths over and over again, without a single definite answer. Because this is not a question answered in words, the mind is annotated with actions.
As they began to communicate verbally, Ruth's first words brought tears to Jack's eyes. She said, "'If you jump, I'll jump,' that's what you said, right?"
When I heard this sentence again, all the dark feelings of human beings, such as selfishness, arrogance, meanness, and despicability, disappeared...... As long as there is love in this world, human beings are great!
Unsurprisingly, tears burst the embankment again, in the movie is the cold and silent Atlantic, and outside the movie is a sea of tears moved by the audience.
It is difficult for the audience to describe their inner feelings at the moment, powerlessness in the face of nature, sublime over meanness, love and selfishness in the face of crisis...... Seeing this, Pei Yanchen's tears fell in his heart, and a sense of pride as a violinist arose, if she was here, she would also stand there and give the last tribute to life.
But just above their heads, a pair of eyes red with jealousy stared at the scene viciously, and Karl was at the railing upstairs, and he knew that he had lost Ruth completely.
No one could get what he had lost, and Karl lifted Legger's clothes like crazy, pulled out the pistol under his armpit, and then turned and rushed down the stairs......
After a fierce chase, Jack and Ruth were once again in a desperate situation, and they ran into the restaurant on the other side, through the high-rise dining platform that had not yet been flooded, and ran to the back passage, where the tables soaked in the water and the plates floating on the surface of the water floated gently and drifted with the current.
The sea water has been rushing to this channel from all directions, and rows of huge swells, rolling in from the dark mountains, burrowed into the first gap of the Titanic in a rage.
From this passage there was a way to the third-class cabin, where they had searched for a way out, and now they had to find another way up, or else it would soon be flooded.
Jack and Ruth had to find their way out of the treacherous cabin, and the sea was about to engulf the bed.....
On the deck, Carl picked up a little girl and planned to get on the ship, the first mate Maidat committed suicide with a gun in a desperate sense of powerlessness, he couldn't save so many people in danger, and it was impossible to save himself, only death was the best relief........
Carl got into the boat with the little girl he picked up, and the despicable people always survived.
Jack and Ruth, who finally escaped from the cabin after many difficulties, met Mr. Andrew, the designer of the Titanic, and after some conversation, Andrew handed his life jacket to Ruth and said, "Good luck." ”
On the stairs of the hall.
Mr. Goodway and his son, dressed in evening gowns, walked slowly down the stairs. Their expressions were solemn and solemn.
The crew rushed over with two life jackets: "Mr. Goodway, this is for you." ”
"No, thank you. Sir Benjamin Goodway, who had always been merry, didn't even look at the two life-saving clothes, "We're already dressed." As a gentleman, you have to dress decently even if you want to go.
In the wheelhouse, the sea water has reached the steering wheel. There was no one in the room. Smith, the captain of the Titanic, pushed open the door of the captain's command room, which was slightly higher than the wheelhouse, and there was only a layer of water on the ground, so he entered the house and closed the door tightly with his backhand.
Outside, the shouts of the crew and the cries of the passengers, but it all seemed to be extremely quiet......
On the deck, the band was still playing in earnest. People shuttled from side to side, each fleeing for their lives, but they continued their profession meticulously. When the last faint charm flew over the strings of the pianist played by Cheng Xiaoyu, he finally took the violin satisfied: "Okay, it's over." Goodbye, Harry, and good luck. ”
"GOODBYE, CHENG. ”
"Goodbye. ”
The musicians say goodbye to each other as if they were at the end of a concert hall.
Cheng Xiaoyu waited for the people to walk away, he raised his violin again, and a melodious music floated again in the night sky shrouded in death...
In the sound of the piano, there is a kind of desire for life, the pursuit of beauty, and the hope for the future, and it sends a trace of comfort to those panicked, sad and desperate people with a passionate and progressive rhythm.
At this time, the sound of the piano brings people not only the enjoyment of music, not only the tranquility before death, but also the review of life, and a magnificent farewell pride for a life without shame and regret.
The sound of the piano retains the footsteps of the departing musicians, who consciously gather around and rejoin the music of life......
Smith stood quietly in the wheelhouse, listening to the melodious music coming out of the window, Andrew opened the lid of the bell to time it as usual, and in the cabin, the raging waters roared under the bed. But an elderly couple on the bed lay quietly embracing each other, on the other side of the boat. In the cabin, which has not yet been swallowed by the sea, a pair of young daughters are gradually falling asleep under the comfort of the young mother.
The weeping music blends into this tranquil atmosphere, which deepens the tranquility of the night, and the beautiful melody blends into this cold night, as if bringing the vitality of early spring, and even the turbulent sea seems to be fascinated by this gentle and melodious music, weakening the momentum that engulfs everything.
Cheng Xiaoyu was still playing the piano intently on the deck, and the chaotic crowd around him was as if it didn't exist, and every note flew out on his strings, like a musical elf dancing!
This piece of music has a comforting name, and it's called "God Is With Us"!
The sea water has submerged most of the Titanic, the ship is sinking faster and faster, the incoming sea water is flooded with white waves, rushing towards the only open space, and the water in the cabin begins to bubble up to the deck, like a huge fountain, rushing to the deck along the cabin ladder, and the surrounding sea water is also pouring towards people.
The band faced the fleeing crowd and finished the last piece. The tune of the Anglican hymn "Autumn" flows across the deck, over the sea, and drifts away in the silent night. When they put down their violins, there was a sea in front of them......
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to be with you tonight. The violinist played by Cheng Xiaoyu calmly thanked his collaborators.
The Titanic was inevitably about to be mercilessly swallowed up by the Atlantic.
When the chimney crashes into the water, all the people next to it can see and hear is the huge splash and the loud noise, followed by the huge waves of the sea......
In addition to Fei Bi, who was smashed under the chimney at that time, there were a few people who didn't have time to dodge, and they were already smashed into meatloaf in an instant. Others were swept into the sea by the man-made waves......
The people on the other side had to lie on the bottom of the boat because the lifeboat had not yet been wrenched. The chimney splash swept them all off the boat......
Jack and Ruth crawled to the stern. This is the direction in which the vast majority of people travel, and from a distance, thousands of people crowd the aft deck, like a pilgrimage procession to Mecca.
The sea water has surged up to the glass-vaulted dome above the hall, and from below, it looks like water is flowing in the sky...... But this spectacle did not last long, when the weight of the sea exceeded the pressure that the glass could bear, with a cracking sound, thousands of tons of sea water fell from the sky, like a burst of the heavenly river, poured down, and in an instant turned the hall into a huge jug, and the people were smashed to the ground by the water, and then swallowed up by the whirlpool......
The hall was turned into a slaughterhouse. The people hiding inside could not escape at this time, and those who were not hit by the water floated on the water with the buoyancy of their life jackets, allowing the impact of the seawater......
In the passage of the cabin, the sea roared in, and all the walls of the houses collapsed like paper paste under the impact of the seawater. The sea rampages through the channel, sweeping away objects, planks, and furniture...... The water is fierce and abnormal, like a wild beast, devouring everything.
The stern of the ship was raised higher and higher, gradually leaving the water, and three huge propellers rose from the water, turning the Titanic into a strangely shaped object. Illuminated by the light, it resembles more of a surrealist three-dimensional composition.
With an indescribable weirdness and horror.
A priest was praying to the sky, and around him, many believers were kneeling and praying to God for protection.
"Lord, help me to pass through this canyon of death......
This spectacular and cruel scene simply stunned the audience, no one spoke, and they all looked at this incredible scene in front of them with their mouths open, even Staven Bell, who has been well-informed and has dealt with movie special effects all his life, could not hide his inner shock!
The complex relationship between man and nature, man and God, and man and man is vividly interpreted, Cheng Xiaoyu not only wrote a movie with depth of thought like "The Shawshank Redemption", but also shot such an epic movie, and Staven Bell was full of indescribable complex emotions......
At this time, the audience in the 16,000 movie theaters around the world was completely shocked, some people couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, and those film critics were completely conquered, this is not a commercial film, it is the perfect combination of business and art, even if it seems to have nothing new, but the classics have always expressed deep connotations from simple things, and they are using the lens language that human beings understand to present universal values.
There is no doubt that it is an epic movie about human beings, and there is no doubt that Cheng Xiaoyu will also become a miracle director through this movie.......
Jack and Ruth are back at the place where they met again, the place where Ruth was going to commit suicide by jumping into the sea three days ago, history and life are often the same circle.
The Titanic has finally reached its final moments.
The bow of the ship, filled with seawater, plunged straight into the depths of the ocean, and the stern was raised high. The deck turned into a huge slide, and people slid to the surface of the water one by one, and what was even more terrifying was that some people slipped and fell directly on the railing of the boat or objects, and others were hit by the tables, chairs, and cabinets that slipped down...... There was a scream on board.
In the cabin.
In the cabin where there was no water, the beds, cabinets, tables and chairs were also shattered. This is when the destructive power of nature begins to manifest itself. No destruction can be as complete and brutal as it comes.
Swept by nature, nothing or life is spared.
The men in the stern watched as the men below glided into the middle of the boat, the sea, but there was nothing they could do to save them. Falling from a height of nearly 100 meters, it is difficult to survive even if you fall into the water, not to mention that most of them are blocked by railings and protrusions on the ship.
Suddenly, all the lights on the big ship went out. It's like the hull of a ship suddenly disappears from view. Only the tumbling waters glow blue and white in the starlight.....
When the huge stern of the ship fell to the surface, the sea was splashed up by a huge wave that was one or two hundred feet high. The rough waves spread in all directions, overturning the two lifeboats that were very close together.
The exposed hull of the ship rushed to the surface of the sea at an extremely decisive speed. The sea water compresses the air in the cabin, and the compressed air sprays out the seawater, as if there are explosions in the cabin.
In less than a minute, the stern was plunged vertically into the sea, and it plunged into the sea at an even faster speed. Because of the rapid sinking speed, it brought up a large amount of foam, like a huge red-hot iron bar inserted into the cold water, causing the water around the iron bar to boil, and from the perspective of Jack and Ruth, the sea water rolling in the snow-white waves was like a fierce beast, opening its mouth and devouring everything. It's not so much like a ship sinking into the sea, it's more like the sea swooping down on them.
The sea has engulfed most of the ship's hull. The white spray was at their feet, and Jack yelled, "Ready...... Ready—inhale!"
The two of them took a full breath at the same time, and at that moment, the sea water crashed over their heads......
The Titanic disappeared from the sea.
