'Twas a good film but....

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2000)

I thought the film Titanic was excellent. However, WAY too much emphasis was put on the Jack/Rose story. Important real characters and interesting real story lines were omitted. Although I must admit, for a real Titanic buff evidence of some of the lesser known stories was there. I was somewhat irked by the fact that some of the real heroes were given nothing but fluff parts, for example, Sixth Officer James P. Moody (24 years old at the time of the sinking). But I digress, James Cameron's Titanic didn't need the Jack/Rose story. The Titanic's story itself could have easily stood on its own.
