Like an alchemical treatise, James Cameron’s movie is laden with symbolism. The shipwreck of the Titanic symbolizes the monetary scenario of the Illuminati sect which was very precarious on the time on account of the treasurer’s flight with all of the bank cards and the silver cutlery. The epic romance between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio represents the idyll between Capitalism and Communism to which probably the most recalcitrant members of the sect aspire. The iceberg in opposition to which (to the viewer’s astonishment) the Ocean liner collides, symbolizes the asteroid that crashed into Earth 66 million years in the past killing the dinosaurs, who in flip symbolize the members of the sect all of whom had been by then pessimistic about their survival as a consequence of the drastic discount of their salaries. In any case, the tragic ending of the movie was extremely controversial throughout the writing of the script, and lots of Illuminati advocated a contented ending by which the ship not solely didn’t sink however took flight and progressively ascended to finish up touchdown on the moon -which was lastly dismissed because it was thought-about a too foreseeable finish.
