Good movie, but it can leave you depressed

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2001)

While I enjoy this movie historicalwise and the plot of it as well, the ending leaves me depressed. I dislike the fact that Jack froze to death. I understand that James Cameroon had to make most of the passengers die because that is what happened in reality. What he didn't need to do, however, was make Jack die since he was a main character. If I produced this movie, I would have made Cal freeze to death instead and Jack would marry Rose. The present time would have both Jack and Rose as an elderly couple talking about what had happened. Another thing that bothers me is how these third class passengers were treated. The crewmen wouldn't allow them to go up to the deck until all the first and second class people were loaded onto the lifeboats. After breaking down the door, the third class passengers fled to the deck. Some of them, however, gave up and stayed down in the steerage. The scene where the Irish mother is telling her children a story to put them to sleep is very sad. I really hated Rose's mother Ruth. She was very nasty and shallow. The ship is sinking, many people are dying, and all she cares about is that the lifeboats are seated according to class? What a b****! The only reason she wanted Rose to marry Cal was because they were broke and Cal was rich.

I still enjoy this movie, as I had mentioned earlier, but it really isn't something I want to watch everyday. It certainly isn't something you want to watch before you go to bed. If you do, you should watch something funny afterwards.
