A Beautiful Story

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2015)

The tragic story of a maritime disaster coated with a true love story. The story line of love breaking the social class barriers really is beautiful. Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet are beautifully paired in this heartfelt film about breaking free and living your life the way that you want and not the way your social class tell you to. Kate Winslet's portrayal of the class restricted Rose, who is fed up with her stiff upper lip family and the restrictions of being a first class woman. Being forced into an unhappy marriage to the over bearing and big-headed millionaire Cal she even considers suicide. Whilst sailing to America on the R.M.S. Titanic, Rose meets Jack Dawson, a third class passenger. During the journey they have a whirlwind affair of passion. But the Distaster strikes as the ship hits an ice berg and sinks. The couple escape through flooded corridors and rooms, pursued by a torrent of icy sea water. They escape the ship, but they don't both survive the night in the frozen Atlantic sea.
