  • The mode of address of this review is in third person. By having an omnicent narrator allows the narrator to tell the whole story not from a bias point of view. It also uses rhetorical questions such as "Nothing is worth $240 million, surely?". By doing this engages the reader and allows them to get involved in this review. This also helps communicate the review better as it brings a conversational tone to the review.
  • This review focuses on the director as well as the two main characters Jack and Rose. In the reciew, when talking about the director it highlights Cameron's ideas and concepts of the film as well as his spending. In addition it also adds he's a "perfectionist" suggesting he only settles for the best hinting this film is good. On the two main characters it discusses the background of the characters. For example it discusses how Rose is "upper-class" whereas they discusses Jack as being "penniless". Already from this we can see there may be social class conflict and we also are presented with one of the main themes love.
  • For the narrative it discusses the "genuine love of two characters compared to the sterotypical supporting characters.
