Love Conquers All

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2003)

We had to do a project for my BCIS (a computer class) class at school and it involved coming here. I'd never actually looked at the All Time Top U.S movies but I knew Titanic still reigned supreme. Anyway, but I also noticed something. We only had to list through the top 30 movies on our project but over half of them were Adventure/Sci-Fi/Fantasy or whatever. I think there was only one other drama or romance besides this one. Yet so many people seem to hate this movie. Well then why did it gross 601 million? Because when it comes down to it, I think this movie shows the kind of love between Jack and Rose that we all wish we had, whether we admit or not. I can't even begin to describe how I feel about this movie. I just don't get how so many people can dislike it or make fun of it. One of my friends told me that when she went to see it in theaters when it came out a big man in front of her with a cowboy hat was crying by the end. Ok, so maybe this movie did receive a lot of hype and so did "My Heart Will Go On", but for obvious reasons. I think that this is the greatest movie that there will ever be and honestly I hope nothing else ever outgrosses it. And even though I love Celine I don't just love this movie because Celine sings in it. But then again I am a hopeless romantic which is probably why I love this movie so much. I just think so much love has escaped the world and with all the divorces and everything in the world I just think it is incredible to see people like Jack and Rose and couples like them today that love each other that much. It's almost scary but amazing that love like that can exist. Maybe Jack and Rose call each other's names ten million times throughout the movie but they love each other so much it hurts. I read an article once where a girl was like "oh my god, I can't believe Rose would give a perfectly good seat on a lifeboat for Jack." Personally, I think she totally missed the point. But anyway... that's just my theory. I really think Titanic broke records in the movie world because maybe it's hard to see sometimes, but love really does conquer all. I think people realized that in 1997 and hopefully they can realize it again, now.
