Abstract

An examination of James Cameron's Titanic (1997) reveals its structural and narrative roots in the German Bergfilm genre and strong relationship to Leni Riefenstahl's Tiefland (1945-1954). The popular appeal of Titanic's Bergfilm message suggests gender-role repression and a postmodern American correspondence to the social conditions of Weimar Germany.
