Words cant describe it :)

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2011)

Based off of the true sinking of the steam liner in 1912, James Camerons' 1996 Titanic is a tragic love story of two teenagers who fall in love on the tragic ship. Rose DeWitt Bukater (Rose) is a first-class passenger who is engaged to a wealthy man named Cal, while Jack Dawson is a third- class passenger who with his best friend won his boarding ticket in a lucky hand of poker. While Rose tries to commit suicide because of her unhappy life Jack stops her and from then their friendship begins. It quickly turns into a romance after Rose sees what an exciting life she could be living as a third-class passenger. Although her fiancé tries to keep her away from him, Rose still manages to stay with Jack up until the very end as Titanic hits an iceberg and slips away into the darkness. Unfortunately Jack makes Rose promise that she will never give up hope and he eventually dies from the extreme cold.
This movie has gotten nothing but endless criticism, but the fact is that it is a movie for the ages. The movie has numerous messages but the central one is the ability to trust a complete stranger with your life even in the darkest and most terrifying of times. The first time you see this movie it completely changes the way you perceive things about not only love but about life. Two strangers from different social classes fall in love on a ship after only knowing each other for a few days. Despite all their differences and difficulties they manage to stay together until the very end. This movie proves that trust conquers everything.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet fit into their roles wonderfully. Kate, who plays Rose, is able to transition into the role of a damsel in distress perfectly. Leonardo, who plays Jack, has a trusting face and charming appeal. Both are able to pull of their roles beautifully and are very excellent actors. Billy Zane, who plays the evil but charming Cal, puts some tension in the movie which makes the story only more suspenseful as it already it.
James Cameron created a film that is so moving that still to this date is one of the highest grossing films of all time, only being beaten by the film Avatar which was also a James Cameron production. There are a countless number of love stories that all have the same happily ever after ending but this story has a twist and it might play a part to the movie being so memorable. This movie brought a whole new interest in not only the horrible tragedy that unfolded in that fateful spring morning of 1912 but also to romance of these two lovers who everyone believes are true historical facts.
Every time I watch this movie I see or learn something new. It is the only movie that I will always remember about because it moves me in ways that words cannot describe. James Cameron makes us feel deeply about ideas and things we rarely dare to imagine and therefore I give this movie a 10/10 rating.
