Titanic Movie
I just had the enthralling experience of doing a rewatch of the Titanic since I first saw it in theatres all those years ago - back in 1997. So its a sixteen year gap between viewings.
and what can I say, but wow?
James Cameron proves himself, yet again, as an explorer of the archetypal patterns, albeit in a highly intuitive, story-telling way.
The central actor in this film is the Ocean, which represents the Deep Mind. This Deep Mind encompasses, and swallows absolutely everything; there is nothing beyond its grasp; it is 'all things'.
The Titanic itself is and represents all man-made constructs; which includes technology on a gross level, but also man-made concepts and intelligences; and through excessive hubris, one thinks one can travel on the shores of the deep mind without truly engaging it; but this is False. The Deep Mind cracks open the 'unsinkable ship' and all things return to it.
The central human figures in this film play out a love story. This is Rose (the young Kate Winslet) and Jack (an even younger Leonardo). They represent to me the Empress (catalyst of the mind) and the Emperor (the experience of the mind) interacting and navigating each other's presences.
Rose (the Empress), represents catalytic forces and the various drives and impulses of the mind. Stablising this is the force of Jack (the emperor) who represents a service-to-others instinct and choice of behaviour. Jack here consistently leads the Empress to form (and recall) biases in regards to the other-self; as Rose was born into a rich society and figures to live out the rest of her life in that easy, although very disheartening and empty, strata. But the impulse that there is 'something more' leads her to Jack; and the love story consists of the two forces (catalyst and experience of mind) in interplay.
in the end, even Jack (the emperor) is swallowed by the infinite maw of the deep mind (the ocean). Rose, as the catalyst, lives on. Forever and always.
The deep mind is so centrally powerful in this film; it just cannot be expressed. It's might, it's all encompassing nature, it's boundless presence; it's engulfing self. It is awe-inspiring.
A truly amazing film. Well paired with Aliens as a popular classic; and one that resonates on levels that the public doesn't truly grasp, but they know something has been 'sounded' within the self that this is an important, satisfying, and heartening experience.
in almost constant tears the last 20 minutes. A soulful experience Mr James Cameron. You are one intuitive son of a gun.
peace brother, I salute your skills of inspiration.
