Among the movies, he discusses the film Titanic (1997). His overall arguments about the movie move toward the opinion that Titanic is a capitalist movie. Hence, in this article, I have converted his statement into my research question, and I enquire whether Titanic is a capitalistic movie or not. If capitalistic, what kind of capitalistic elements that the film shows? And how far is the movie capitalistic in nature? If not capitalistic, what elements or ideologies does the film show? (or) Is Žižek wrong about the movie? With the help of these research questions, I analyse the movie in this article to find out whether the film Titanic is a pro-capitalist movie or not. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of Žižek Studies is the property of International Journal of Zizek Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
