LUCRARE SCRISA LA LIMBA ENGLEZA

Part I READING

Read the following text:



In April 1912, the Titanic, the biggest ship ever built, left Southampton on its maiden voyage to New York. On the night of 14th April in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, the ship hit an iceberg. 1,513 of the 2,300 people on board were killed.

In 1985, film director James Cameron saw a television documentary about the Titanic.

The documentary made by oceanographer Robert Ballard, contained images of the ship lying on the bed of the North Atlantic. Ten years later, he put together a script idea which would combine the real disaster with a fictional love story between characters from completely different backgrounds.

Cameron presented his idea to 20th Century-fox in March 1995. The director had already spent an enormous 125 million on his film "True Lies", starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis and told the studio that he estimated "Titanic" would cost no more than 80 million. Studio bosses were interested and offered Cameron a contract to make the film.

Next, Cameron decided that he needed footage of the actual wreck itself, and chartered the "Akademmik Mstislav Keldysh", a Russian scientific vessel equipped with underwater vehicles. The brilliant underwater images impressed the studio, and in May 1996, they told Cameron that he could proceed with the movie. Cameron told them that the costs had increased and would now be about $125 million, an increase of 50% more than his original estimate. The studio chief objected and told him not to let the costs get out of hand.
