"Titanic” was said to be the best film in these few years by many people all over the world. Apart from the main theme, the love story, there were still many other characters who had acted very well but we haven't praised them. Their stories were also touching and interesting. In this essay, I'd like to air my opinion towards some of those characters and their stories that had impressed me very much.

The upper class people  on the Titanic were so pretentious  and always looked down upon the poor. For  instance,  Rose's mother tried very hard to pretend to be a high class lady. In fact, after her husband's death, her family fell on hard times. However, she wanted to stay wealthy, thus, she forced Rose to marry a  the rich merchant so as to become rich again. Meanwhile, when she found that Rose knew Jack and had sex with him, she forbid Rose to see Jack again for fear that she couldn’t enjoy a noble life anymore.

As we can see from Rose's mother, the upper class  people thought that money was always  the priority. Everything was based on money. Without  money, they would not  make friends with you or even looked down  upon you. They had a strong class-consciousness. They always thought they had privilege that others wouldn’t have. So they always suppressed people from the low class society. Their money-oriented will drive them to be desperately selfish and pretentious.

In the middle class society, there was one enthusiastic woman in the gang different from the others. She was Margaret Molly Brown, the fat woman who was a plain-spoken woman without the background in  high society, so she was shunned by the other upper class people. She impressed me so much because she had a human touch, not so relent as the others. She was naive that she wouldn't pretend to be so lady and false. Her lending Jack a dinner  suit indicated that she was not selfish and willing to help others, even the poor. She also taught Jack how to behave well among the upper class. On the other hand, after the sinking of Titanic, she was evacuated in a lifeboat. She persuaded the lifeboat's passengers to help with rowing to save the victims in the sea.

The sailors of Titanic were the real heroes other than Jack. Everytime when people talk about this film, they always say "Jack was so brave and he was a real hero!” However, have they noticed the sailors who had sacrificed their lives in order to save all the passengers? Weren't they heroes? When Titanic started to sink, the sailors helped to evacuate passengers to the lifeboats. You might have hardly notice that they didn't wear life jackets! All they had in mind was to save as many people as they could. They put the passengers’ safety   first  instead of their own lives! Their selflessness and heroism really deserved our highest praise and whole-hearted thankfulness.

Besides, the designers and the captain of Titanic were so calm and responsible to the passengers. When Titanic crashed into the iceberg and was found to have serious damage, the designer, Thomas Andrew, and the captain, Edward J.Smith, carefully discussed the ways of evacuating passengers on Titanic instead of just sitting  down and didn't know what to do. Since both of them have to carry full responsibility of Titanic, if there were any predicament, they had to ensure passengers’ safety in prior to themselves. They had paid their responsibility for the  accompanying the Titanic on it's maiden but last voyage.

There were two scenes that really touched me. One was a mother who was asking her children to sleep during the sinking. Her heartfelt lie touched the bottom of my heart because I could feel the parental love, which is the most selfless devotion in the world. Meanwhile, an old couple hugging closely on the bed to wait for death made me feel sad and full of sorrow.

All in all, "Titanic" was a marvelous film in these few years as it was not just only focused on the love story , but also the tiny stories between other characters. Although the film lasted  three hours, you would never find it tedious nor boring as this film' s structure was so well-organized.
