We’ve all seen a sappy love story that is useless and has no feelings, but then we also have the good love stories, the ones that go to the heart and makes us feel something; the Titanic is one of those movies. Titanic a romance/disaster genre, a fictional story based on a true ship. In the end, this movie will leave you in tears. This movie came out in 1997 and still has the same effect now in 2018. This movie is not just an original love story; this is one of the best love stories you will ever see.

The movie starts off to involve a 17-year-old woman named Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) who has been forced by her poor mother to become married to a rich, conceited snob named Cal Hockley (Billy Zane). Rose hates this prospect so much that she tries to kill herself by jumping from the ship, until the wonderful Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a brash kid from steerage, saves her. Of course they will fall in love during the brief time left to them aboard a ship doomed to sink.

The movie shows there love story in a very interesting way; showing off the ship, showing the history, and showing many symbols and themes people often don’t realize. Jack is invited to join Rose's party at dinner in the first class dining room, and later, fleeing from Cal's manservant, they find themselves first in the awesome engine room, with pistons as tall as churches, and then at a rousing Irish dance in the crowded steerage. All within the movie it shows the history and how the two classes were treated. First class was had private dining rooms, bigger rooms, more advantages, while second class had tight rooms, didn’t get catered to, and had to find whatever they could to eat. Of course one theme is love; love is throughout the whole movie of Jack and Rose, especially the ending scene when Jack saves Rose once again and shows his love. In any other movie, for example, The Notebook by Nick Cassavetes, shows the love between two young people(what happens in every love movie) they break up then eventually meet up back in the future and fall back in love, classic right? But Titanic doesn’t do that; they show more than just two people in love. They show how love is life and death, they show the true meaning of love, that is why Titanic will always be the best love story.  

In 1997, James Cameron, made one of the best movies alive. In 15 years from now this movie will still make the best love story. Throughout the movie, you will see the love story of Jack and Rose, see the ship, and see the history. In the end you will end in tears no matter how many times you watch this movie; like me, I've seen this movie way over 10 times and still cry throughout the whole movie.
