The journey of "Titanic" begins in the present, at the site of the ship's watery grave, two-and-a-half miles under the ocean surface. An ambitious fortune hunter (Bill Paxton) is determined to plumb t...( read more  read more... )he treasures of this once-stately ship, only to bring to the surface a story left untold. The tragic ruins melt away to reveal the glittering palace that was Titanic as it prepares to launch on its maiden voyage from England. Amidst the thousands of well-wishers bidding a fond bon voyage, destiny has called two young souls, daring them to nurture a passion that would change their lives forever. Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a 17-year-old, upper-class American suffocating under the rigid confines and expectations of Edwardian society who falls for a free-spirited young steerage passenger named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio). Once he opens her eyes to the world that lies outside her gilded cage, Rose and Jack's forbidden love begins a powerful mystery that ultimately echoes across the years into the present. Nothing on earth is going to come between them -- not even something as unimaginable as the sinking of Titanic.

    It's more than just a chick flick. It's a flick that can entertain both men and women.

    Amazing production values, well-acted, fantastic cinematography and score. Any movie this popular is fated to undergo endless scrutiny; the screenplay could have used dark poetry for the love story instead of playful banter, and such a serious historical subject would have benefi...( read more)tted from a little more dark realism and a little less melodrama. Gripes aside, this a movie for the ages, a kind of breathtaking romantic epic few filmmakers have attempted since Gone With the Wind. Gorgeous-looking, transporting and unabashedly emotional, it is every inch the glorious, gaudy work of showmanship its namesake suggests.

    Beautiful. I still gasp at the following bit When Jack and Rose return to the top deck, the lifeboats have gone and they take temporary refuge on the now vertical stern, which washes them into the freezing Atlantic Ocean. Jack and Rose manage to grab hold of a carved oak door, wh...( read more)ich can only support one person. Jack suffers from severe hypothermia, and dies in Rose's arms.

    fav bit
    Having completed her story, the elderly Rose goes to the stern of Lovett's ship. After she steps onto the railing, it is revealed she still has the Heart of the Ocean in her possession. She drops the diamond into the water, sending it to join the remains of the most important event of her life.

    The story starts in present time, with the sole living survivor of the Titanic. She reveals a love story between two classes on board the first journey of the Titanic across the Atlantic. The Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks. My fave scenes are the spitting and axe scenes. Leo a...( read more)nd Kate make a great on screen couple. My fave line is "he does landscapes".
