The well-known film “Titanic” is a disaster movie that represents an epic love story of a 17-year-old aristocrat and a free-spirited boy, who won in cards his third-class ticket. But this beautiful American girl is betrothed to a hateful and rich suitor. It is like the history of “Romeo and Juliet” on the sinking ship that has become the international sensation.The special effects were used in the movie. When you watch the sinking of Titanic during 80 minutes, you are not interested in what is real and what’s generated by computer. You feel the horror of the experienced event, the depths of the thoughtlessness that made this “unsinkable” ship so hurtable to disaster. While the children and women were laded into lifeboats, the passengers of the third class were locked under the deck like animals. Cameron makes a horrifying picture of chaos with the images of the deck uprising perpendicular to the water, the ship snapping in half as well as the passengers slipping off the giant propellers of the ship into the freezing water of the ocean.However, the stage center in the movie is occupied by the strong love between the unhappy girl Rose and the openhearted, sanguine artist Jack. Is it the love story Cameron so deliriously intended to create? Not quite. Visually, the lovers don’t fit together: Kate Winslet looks womanly next to boyish beauty of DiCaprio. And once the disaster is at its height, their individual destinies become overwhelmed by the common horror. At least, our hearts missed a beat once these young lovers were surrounded by frozen floating corpses.Finally, it stands to mention that Cameron could create an old-fashioned movie which was brought up to date with different spectacular modern technologies.

The central economic problem is to reconcile the conflict between peo-ples unlimited demands with societys ability to produce goods and services. In industrial Western countries markets are to allocate resources. The market is the process by which production and consumption are co¬ordinated through prices. In a command economy, a central planning office makes decisions on what, how, and for whom to produce. Economy cannot rely entirely on command, but there was extensive planning in many Soviet bloc countries. A free market economy has no government intervention. Resources are allocated entirely through markets. Modern economies in the West are mixed and rely mainly on the market but with a large doze of government intervention. The optimal level of government intervention remains a problem which is of interest to economists. The degree of government restrictions differs greatly between countries that have command economies and countries that have free market economies. In the former, resources are allocated by central government planning. In the latter, there is not any government regulation of the consumption, production, and exchange of goods. Between the two main types lies the mixed economy where market and government are both of importance. INFLATION AND PRICES Here is a part of a television programme about inflation and prices in the U.K. The prices are for a pound of food, not a kilo. A pound is about 450 grams. The reporter: Inflation in Britain is running at about 15 per cent. These figures dont seem to mean very much, but when you look at the price of food, you understand what inflation means to the ordinary person. These are the prices you have to pay in the supermarket. Flour is 40 pence a pound and rice is 50. For a pound of sugar youll have to pay 15 pence. Compare that with the price of sugar four years ago and you can see a real price difference. Tomatoes are 1 pound sterling thats because its a little early for tomatoes at the moment. Potatoes are 30 pence a pound. Peas and beans are 60 and 90, apples are 75. Onions are 60 pence a pound, bananas 50 and and sausages, the childrens favourite, are 2 pounds sterling. Cheese has reached incredible 3 pounds sterling a pound, and if you follow me over here to the meat counter, youll see a lot more. London has been truly called the most expensive city in the world, though, like all other cities, if you know your way around, you can always find lower prices than people normally pay. Transport is expensive in London compared with other places. The fares on the underground and taxi fares are very high. Some things are really expensive, accommodation for instance. Telephone calls to another London number, to say nothing about long distance calls, are rather expensive. And clothes?.. Its difficult to find an average price for clothes, because there is a big difference in the price range, depending on the kind of shop you buy your clothes in and what quality you buy.
