Brief Synopsis: In April of 1912, Rose boards the Titanic with her mother and fiancé Cal. While on the ship Rose meets Jack, an artist who though poor, is rich in other ways. When Rose meets Jack she falls in love with his freedom and desire for adventure. Rose is willing to cast aside Cal’s fortune for true love. Everything comes to a head on April 14, 1912, a night that forever lives in infamy.
My Thoughts: Everybody and their mother has seen this movie, the most successful of all time. The reason it is so popular is because there is something for everybody to relate to. The love story is one of the strongest written since Romeo and Juliet and if you are not into romance, this movie is an interesting look at an important event in American history.
Usually when you think of giant blockbusters, you think of big action flicks. True, this movie ends with the hugest disaster possibly ever on film, but what is interesting is that the first two and a half hours of this movie have no action scenes what so ever. What drives most of this film are the performances by DiCaprio and Winslet, who are very likable in this movie. The emotion in this movie is so powerful that I am going to go ahead and say it, if you feel nothing at the end of this movie, there is definitely something wrong with you.
“I’ll never let go Jack. I’ll never let go.”
Rating: Top of the List!
