the titanic is the most amazing movie ever and best scenes

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2007)

I try, but i still don't see why people don't like this movie. this movie is one of those films that makes you completely break down, once you realize the full intensity of it. they say about 1500 people died that night, and 700 were saved due to the 20 lifeboats. only 20 boats to save over 2000 people. when you really think about it, and watch families be torn apart, it really shows the severeness of the whole situation. i remember i watched it the other night, and when i saw a family be ripped apart (because only women and children were being let on the boats), a dad told his children "don't worry, there's another boat for the daddies". i broke down at that part while i watched Jack and Rose being split because she was forced into a boat. you cant even imagine being there, and not knowing what was gonna happen to your kid or your husband or father.
if you listen to Jack teaching rose about life during the movie, and telling her to "make each day count", it puts things in perspective. he showed her so many things and like she said at the end, "he saved me in every way a person can be saved". he loved her so much, and you can see the chemistry between the two, and that makes his death so much harder to watch. its not fair that he had to die like that after doing so much for Rose, but it made the story, and it made it great. Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio did such a great job with this, and James Cameron really pulled it all together as the director. you cant picture anyone else playing the parts...they did such a great job.
there were some great scenes...like when Jack is handcuffed to the pole and Rose has to break him free with an ax off the wall so she takes a few practice swings and then tries to hit it in the same spot and misses by like ten feet! even though oddly enough she cuts him free perfectly as she smashes the chain with her eyes closed and then they have to wade through like really deep water.
another is where the mother is telling a story to her two kids, so they will fall asleep and not be so afraid when they die..
one of my all-time favorite scenes is where Jack and Rose are flying at the front of the ship. Celine Dion's "my heart will go on" seems like the perfect love song for this.
also, the part where rose is on the Carpathia and give her name to the guy as Rose Dawson is one of the sweetest things ever.
the part where she jumps off the lifeboat and her and jack run to meet each other and embrace each other where he tells her she is "so stupid" but is kissing her hair and neck and she says "you jump i jump right?"
lastly, i love the part at the end where old Rose...i guess dies....after they show all the pictures of her doing all the things Jack was telling her they were gonna do.....where she dies and you see them again going up the staircase, and all the people who had died and had gone down with titanic--Tommy Ryan, the Captian, Mr. Andrews, Fabrizio and Helga, Cora, and a bunch others...then the camera swings to Jack, at the top of the staircase, his back towards us, and him looking at the clock...just like he did when he had eaten dinner with first class. except he isn't all in his tux and all...he is dressed as himself and not all fancy...
this movie was so amazing, and to all of those who say that it wasn't just that, you obviously cant see past what you don't like and look at what it really showed--two people in love, an "unsinkable" ship that is doomed, and a message behind it all.
