Titanic is a 1997 American epic historical romance feature film written and directed by James Cameron [2][7]. Running approximately 195 minutes, the film incorporates both historical and fictional elements based on accounts of the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 [7][9]. Its subjects include the ship's ill-fated maiden voyage, the subsequent disaster, and themes of forbidden love and intercultural relationship set against the backdrop of the Belle Époque [1].
The story centres on star-crossed lovers from different social classes who meet during the Titanic's maiden voyage, and the narrative also incorporates elements of treasure hunting [4]. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet lead the cast as the principal romantic figures, supported by an ensemble that includes Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, David Warner, Victor Garber, Bill Paxton, Gloria Stuart, and Danny Nucci [7][10]. Among the characters depicted are both fictional creations and figures drawn from the historical record, including Margaret Brown, Thomas Andrews, and Captain Edward Smith [8].
