Review of one of the greatest adventures and love stories in movie history

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2014)

Many love stories have the same plot. They are predictable and boring, and by the end of the film viewers are done watching the couple kiss and be cutesy. However, The Titanic ties in not only a love story, but an adventure, an intense inner battle, and a mortifying loss. From the beginning of the film, viewers are attached to Jack Dawson, feeling like they want him to succeed. So when they see how how happy Jack is that he won a ticket on the RMS Titanic, viewers want nothing more for the poor and extremely attractive boy to be happy. Jack and Rose have a love that is almost sickening, but the affection they show each other makes viewers want to experience a crazy love story of their own. It is nice to see a rich girl let her guard down and be herself around Jack, something that is lost in the craziness of every day life, and the fact that it is human nature to try and impress people we like. When watching the Titanic everyone (I hope) knew what would happen at the end, but it was heartbreaking to see Rose's lover's life come to an end. Honestly, I think they both could have fit on the old door when they were waiting to be rescued, but there had to be a heartbreaking tragedy that leaves one crying on the couch wanting to dive into the ocean to bring Jack Dawson back to life. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are phenomenal actors, and they have amazing chemistry together on and off screen.
