Still deciding on what I thought about it

Rating: 4/10 (6 January 2008)

Recently, I was asked what is the greatest love story/film of all time. I said it was "The Notebook," and they all said, "No, it's Titanic!" I'd never seen Titanic, I never had gotten around to it and it seemed slightly boring. So I sat down and watched it with my sister when it was on the TV. There were laughs in it, but I'm not such a fan for tearjerkers such as this one.
The score was very good, there were beautiful pieces of music throughout. I normally love tearjerkers, but this one was just too much for me. *spoilers* of course I knew what was going to happen, it's practically general knowledge! When Jack died in the water, I was too overwhelmed and I became stressed. Later on, the same scene running through my mind, I threw up and had a brief panic attack. I wasn't over reacting, but it was much too overwhelming for me, even though I'm not that much of a sensitive person.
I still respect everyone else's opinions, such as 'It's an epic movie of our millennium,' etc. But it was an extremely emotional film and I'll never be able to watch it again, because it did affect me too much, seeing as one of my much older relatives, died on the Titanic. To watch it again, for some people, it can even be upsettingly painful. But you do like epic, tragic love stories, this is definitely the one to see.
