4. Story line
Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young boy
who wins passage to America aboard the Titanic in a
lucky game of poker (upon boarding the ship, Jack
tells to his friend that they are "the luckiest sons of
bitches in the world").
Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is travelling to
America, to be married to Cal Hockley (Billy Zane), a
situation she is not thrilled about.
Sparks fly when Dawson manages to talk Rose out of
jumping overboard, but tragedy awaits as the
unsinkable ship hits and iceberg and begins to
flounder.

16. Our opinion
The ship was thought to be unsinkable, and so a
compromise was made on the number of lifeboats
aboard. When the ship did sink, it is the richest that
got first priority on the lifeboats.
While they waited in half-full lifeboats, they were
exposed to the cries of people freezing to their
deaths and didn't do a thing to help them. If a
similar tragedy were to happen today, would the
result be any different?
17. Our opinion
The acting is excellent by all concerned, but I was
most impressed by Zane. The nice thing about a ship
sinking is that it is a relatively slow event, and
Cameron takes every advantage of it.
The depiction of the mighty ship going under is so
much larger than life and I feel this is the most
magnificent part of the movie.
Just for that reason alone, Titanic is a movie not just
to be seen, but to be experienced. So make sure you
see it on the big screen. It goes to show that the
concept of the disaster movie is far from dead.
