Doesn't anyone watch movies just for the sake of it anymore?

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 1998)

O.K., firstly, I loved this movie, I saw it and came out with the feeling that I, too had been aboard Titanic when she sailed and when she sank. The thing I can't understand is how people can go see a movie and do nothing more than look for mistakes or pick it apart. These people mustn't have very interesting lives or else they would enjoy things of quality such as this film. I have read through some of the comments on this page and feel compelled to answer some of the more lame statements. Firstly, Cal tried to shoot both Rose and Jack because as he stated to Jack,when Rose got into the lifeboat, "I always win Jack, no matter what." The first class attitude of the day was that. Cal was just showing his first class snobbery. Secondly, of course Rose should jump out of the lifeboat, her love for Jack was the catalyst for this. Now I own 2 other Titanic movies, one made in 1953, the other in 1958 and in both of these movies they show at least three women jumping back onto Titanic from the lifeboats. Some of the women on board Titanic truly didn't want to leave their husbands behind. I only hope that if I had to make a decision like that, then I would choose to stay with my husband as well. Thirdly, I am so sick of seeing people complain about this and any other film, unless you are an out of work producer, director or actor (and as such, you can't be too good at your craft if you are)then you truly should try to remember that these people put their lives on hold for nine months so that we could have a movie that we can be proud of. The most accurate portrayal of life at that time of our history and the most accurate portrayal of the sinking of a truly great ship.
P.S. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are fine artists and should be respected as such.
