/Life of Pi, 2012/

/Titanic, 1997/
--Love meets destiny
When it comes to movies about the sea, one cannot help but mention "Titanic"! James Cameron's epic masterpiece is not just a love story that transcends social classes, but also a contest between humanity and nature.
The ocean here is not just a backdrop but a key factor in propelling the plot forward. It symbolizes the unknown and challenges, and at the same time, it is the vessel of destiny, carrying the characters' dreams and hopes.
When the massive iceberg looms in the night, and when the "unsinkable" Titanic finally sinks into the abyss, it feels as if we can hear the ocean's whisper and feel its irresistible force... In the face of the vast ocean, human emotions seem so small yet so grand.
