1996, treasure hunter Brock lovett and his team searched for the wreckage of the Titanic on the Russian research ship Kai'erdishi, looking for a famous diamond necklace whose whereabouts were unknown "in the center of the ocean". It is said that this diamond necklace sank into the Atlantic Ocean with the Titanic that year. They found a safe in the first-class suite where Karl Hockley lived, but only found a sketch of a woman wearing "in the middle of the sea", dated 19 14, the night when the Titanic hit an iceberg.
The woman in the sketch, Ruth Dawson Carver, 10 1 year old. When she saw the story on TV news, she immediately realized that the person in the picture was herself, so she ordered her granddaughter Alice Carver to contact Brock and tell him that Ruth was one of the survivors of the Titanic. As soon as Brock heard the news, he invited Ruth to board the Kai'erdishi, because she was probably the only one who knew the whereabouts of the underwater world.
After Ruth and Alice boarded Kai'erdishi by helicopter with a lot of luggage, Ruth said that she wanted to have a look at the sketch. Brock asked her if she knew the whereabouts of "In in the heart of the sea". Ruth recalled the scene when she boarded the Titanic and revealed that her name was Bilus, a passenger who was thought to have been killed in a shipwreck.
The story goes back to 19 12. On April 10, Titanic will leave for new york, USA for its maiden voyage. 17-year-old first-class passenger Ruth and her mother Ruth Dewit Buchert boarded the Titanic here, followed by her fiance Carl Hockley (son of Pittsburgh steel tycoon Nathan Hawkley). In addition, Jack Dawson, a third-class passenger who won a boat ticket in gambling, and his friend Fabbrizio Derossi.
Jack and Ruth fell in love at first sight.
Luf nervously stressed to her daughter the importance of her engagement with Carl, because their marriage was to solve the little-known financial crisis of the mother and daughter's family. But Ruth doesn't love Carl at all. She was depressed about her engagement and suffocated by the narrow society. At a dinner party, tied Ruth ran to the stern and tried to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Jack is a penniless wandering artist. Jack, who happened to be smoking on the stern deck, found something strange and discouraged Ruth from giving up suicidal thoughts.
However, when Ruth returned to the railing, she accidentally slipped. She shouted for the crew to come over. The crew mistakenly thought that Jack had ulterior motives, so they picketed and handcuffed Jack, and Carl also came forward to reprimand Jack. Ruth lied to Carl that she wanted to see the propeller before she almost slipped and let Jack escape. At Ruth's insistence, Carl invited Jack to dinner the next night. In fact, Carl wants to see if Jack will make a fool of himself at dinner. Later, spicer Lovejoy, Carl's servant, expressed doubts when handing Jack a cigarette.
The next day, Jack and Ruth chatted on the deck of the ship so that they could share their life experiences and situations with each other. Meanwhile, joseph bruce ismay, chairman of White Star Shipping, the operator of Titanic, lobbied edward john smith, the captain, to sail at full speed, hoping to arrive in new york on Tuesday night, so as to show the media the speed and strength of Titanic.
Before dinner, Jack and Ruth met Ruff and the women traveling with her, including Margaret Brown. Ruth had to go with Ruff to prepare dinner. Margaret specially made Jack put on the evening dress he had bought for his son. During Jack's dinner with Carl, Ruth and others in a first-class restaurant, Margaret taught Jack a lot of upper-class knowledge and manners. After dinner, Ruth secretly attended a third-class party with Jack. They danced and drank happily together, but Carl's servant found out where they were.
Third, iceberg warning.
At breakfast the next day, Carl was very angry with Ruth because she went to the third class with Jack. Carl and Ruff forbid Ruth to see Jack. Jack knew that he had to save Ruth, so he decided to go to her in secret. On the other hand, Titanic received an iceberg warning, but the captain ordered all boilers to start. This kind of behavior is very risky, because the sea is unusually calm that night, it is difficult to identify icebergs in advance, and accidents are prone to occur. Titanic didn't put enough lifeboats because of its beauty.
At that time, people were convinced that Titanic was unsinkable, so the number of lifeboats could only carry half of the passengers. When Jack found Ruth, he went into the gym and had a secret conversation. Ruth said that she would never see Jack again, but in the end she changed her mind because she realized that she loved Jack Bical more. They kissed for the first time at the bow, which was the last time Titanic watched the sunset.
After sunset, Ruth took Jack to her first-class suite, showed him the engagement diamond ring Carl gave her "in the middle of the sea" and asked Jack to draw a nude sketch for herself. Jack is very professional and has no wild desires for Ruth. Naked sketches were found in the safe at the beginning of the film. Later, in order to escape the pursuit of Carl's servant, they went all the way through the boiler room and hid in the cargo hold. They had sex in a luxury car in the cargo hold.
At the same time, Carl was very angry when he found Jack's nude sketch for Ruth, and instructed his servant to frame Jack. When Jack and Ruth walked from the cargo hold to the well flat at the bow, the lookout found an iceberg so close that they couldn't avoid it even if they turned sharply. Jack and Ruth witnessed the scene of the ship hitting an iceberg on the deck, and overheard the captain and the first mate discussing the seriousness with the designer.
Just as Ruth and Jack were about to tell Ruth and Carl, Carl's servant secretly put In the Heart of the Sea into Jack's pocket, and Carl conveniently framed Jack for stealing the necklace, so Jack was detained by the proctor. Thomas Andrews, the chief designer of Titanic, told the captain and others that the Titanic would sink in 1 to 2 hours because five watertight compartments were flooded. The crew asked the passengers to put on life jackets and instructed the lifeboats to evacuate according to the principle of "women and children first".
Fourth, hit an iceberg
After meeting Thomas Andrews on the main stairs, Ruth learned the bad news that the Titanic was about to sink. When Ruth and Ruff were getting ready to board the lifeboat, they saw the selfishness and cold blood of their mother and fiance, so they decided to look for Jack. After a lot of hardships, Ruth rescued Jack from the picket's living room. When Carl was about to board the lifeboat, he heard that the servant had found Ruth and Jack. Ruth was persuaded by Carl and Jack to board the lifeboat. Carl gave her his coat, but she didn't find the heart of the sea still in her pocket.
But when the lifeboat was lowered, Ruth realized that she couldn't leave Jack, so she jumped back to the deck from the lifeboat and Jack ran to her at once. Carl found them on the main stairs, shot them in a rage, and chased them to the restaurant that was about to be flooded. Carl had to go back to the deck to protect himself. To his chagrin, he realized that he had given his coat and "in the middle of the sea" to Ruth. Later, he found a little girl. In order to survive, he claimed to be the only relative of the little girl. So Kalden got on the last lifeboat.
The Titanic continued to sink. When Ruth and Jack escaped from the smoking room in the first class, they found Thomas Andrews, the chief designer, and gave Ruth the life jacket. Due to a lot of water, the Titanic is tilting rapidly. They climbed to the stern with great difficulty, and then the hull suddenly broke in the middle. Soon after, the stern was dragged down by the bow, forming a right angle and then sinking, and many passengers fell from a height. Soon after, the Titanic sank completely. Jack and Ruth clung to each other tightly, but they let go because the suction of the sunken ship was too great.
Jack later found Ruth, and they found a floating door panel, but the door panel can only bear the weight of one person, so Jack pressed the edge of the door panel and stayed in the cold sea. Jack asked Ruth not to give up and live well, and made her promise that she would die in a warm bed, which became his last words.
Verb (short for verb) runs away
As soon as the camera turned, five Harold Lowes cleared out a lifeboat and returned to search for survivors. Ruth heard his voice, so she told Jack to get up, but Jack had died of hypothermia. Ruth was heartbroken, but she promised Jack a good life. Finally, she kissed Jack and left him, and found the whistle of the dead first mate. She kept whistling and was finally saved. The Carpathia rescued her and other survivors.
On the Carpathian, Carl tried to find Ruth among the third-class passengers, but Ruth wrapped herself in a blanket and turned her back on him. She didn't respond at all. That was the last time she saw Carl. When the ship arrived in America, Ruth found "in the center of the ocean" in her coat pocket all the time. Ruth also changed her surname to Dawson, indicating that she will always be Jack's wife.
Later, Ruth learned from the newspaper that Carl married another woman and inherited the family property, but the Wall Street stock market crash in 1929 caused him heavy losses, and then he shot himself. She became an actress herself, married a man in the lower class, and gave birth to a child after marriage. Back to 1996, Ruth's story ended, which deeply touched her granddaughter Alice, Brock and other members of the treasure hunt team.
Brock feels that he can't compare with Ruth at all. He spent three years looking for the lost diamond, but Ruth spent her whole life remembering a Jack who could never be brought back to life. Old Ruth finally told everyone the secret she had buried in her heart for 84 years, and she was relieved. Before that, she never mentioned her unforgettable past to anyone, including her late husband. That night, Ruth came to the stern of Kai'erdishi and threw Heart of the Sea, which had been detained for many years and could not be found by the outside world, into the sea without anyone else seeing it.
Sixth, the end.
Jack died for love, Ruth born to love. The dressing table where Ruth slept was filled with precious photos of her life, many of which talked to Jack about her desire for freedom and adventure on the Titanic. Finally, she was able to keep her promise and fulfill Jack's last words: "No matter how hard life is, don't give up, live bravely, get married and have children, sleep in a warm bed for a hundred years, and grow old together." And Ruth seems to have fallen asleep or died in bed.
As soon as the camera turned, the Titanic sunk in the Atlantic Ocean regained its former glory. Ruth finally returned to her memory of Titanic. She was 17 years old and reunited with Jack on the main staircase of the former first class. The clock on the main staircase wall clearly shows that it is 2: 20, which is the time when the Titanic sank in reality. The other victims on board applauded the couple, and the story was over.
