With clear categories of gender, class, nationality, and religion, the dominating \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e myth offers a wealth of motifs ripe for the silver screen-heroism, melodrama, love, despair, pleasure, pain, failure, triumph, memory and eternal guilt. This volume provides a detailed overview of \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e films from 1912 to the present and analyzes the six major \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e films, including the 1943 Nazi propaganda production, the 1953 Hollywood film, the 1958 British docudrama \u003ci\u003eA Night to Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1979 TV production \u003ci\u003eS.O.S. Titanic\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1996 mini-series \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e, and James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster. By showing how each film follows and builds on a pattern of fixed scenes, motifs and details defined as the \"\u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e code,\" this work yields telling insights into why this specific disaster has maintained such great relevance into the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46864703422615,"sku":"9780786463114","price":3730.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786463114.webp?v=1769975375","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-titanic-on-film-myth-versus-truth-9780786463114","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
