Supplemental context
Titanic combines a large-scale screen spectacle with a fictional romance placed within a real historical disaster. Paramount's film record names James Cameron as writer and director, identifies Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as Jack and Rose, and credits James Horner's score. For future readers, the distinction between a film made in 1997 and the event it represents is fundamental. The work can reveal how late-twentieth-century popular cinema organized emotion, class difference, memory and catastrophe, but its dramatic scenes need to be compared with historical evidence rather than substituted for it.
Creator/community: James Cameron, writer and director; Jon Landau and production collaborators; Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and ensemble cast; James Horner, score Place/era: 1997 film; fictional romance set around the historical 1912 Titanic voyage and sinking
