A nice movie made for entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2011)

It is easy to understand why falling in love as a teenager feels so dramatic, extraordinary and "out-of-control", because usually our brains don 't develop as fast as our hormone levels rises in our bodies. In the case of Jack and Rose, short romance on a sinking ship means a lot for them on a personal level. Rose is a prisoner of his mom who wants to sell her daughter to a rich man in order to support herself. From that viewpoint she seeks a person who could set her free emotionally from her mother. So she ends up to fall in love with a poor young man, who has nothing else to offer her but that masculine freedom of his. No money, just a feeling of independence. So on an emotional level, this is much about a young woman and her struggle against the overly controlling mother and the gender role of her time through passionate romance with Jack. To be a bit cynical, Jack 's death is not important when it comes to the message of this story but the idea of freedom he gave to her. Love doesn't die when the loved ones die because the very idea of love is to form a human. The more it forms you the greater the love has been. So it doesn't matter if it 's just a petty teenage romance if it means life to you as it did in the case of Rose. Jack saved her life in a way and that was the message of the story.Even if the essence of this film was the love story, it is as much a portrayal of social classes, gender roles, way of life and the strong faith in development during the time of Titanic. This is entertaining film for masses and in that category pretty well done.
