What is your all time favorite movie and why? Write an essay persuading readers to watch this film.


            It is one of the best love stories depicted on film. Titanic is a heartwarming, romantic, exhilarating, devastating, totally unforgettable film. This impressive classic re- creates the unfortunate maiden voyage R.M.S. Titanic and the tragic sea disaster.  This film depicts Leonardo DiCaprio at his best, along with Kate Winslet.
            Jack Dawson was young man whom won a pair of tickets on to the Titanic in a hand of poker. Rose DeWitt is traveling to America to be married with Mr. Cal Hockley. We begin to see an attraction between Jack and Rose when Rose is talked out of jumping over board by Jack. From there on the attraction does not stop. They constantly see each other and run off and hide. They even risk their own lives for each other. The odd thing being that they were from two different social classes. He was very poor and she grew from a wealthy family.
            The story was being told in a flashback by Rose to a man looking for the “Heart of the Ocean”. The “Heart of the Ocean” was a rare diamond that was given to Rose by her fiancé Cal Hockley. The treasure hunter at first did not believe Rose, he thought that she was out of her mind and she made herself believe that she was the women in the picture wearing the diamond.
            The climax is reached when the Titanic hits the iceberg and then begins to sink. They were not enough life boats to save all of those on the ship. So they only allowed women and children to board the life boats. Rose was put on the life boat twice and each time she jumped off, all so that she can stay with Jack.  As the boat sinks Jack and Rose both hold on the rail and wait till they hit the water. One they are in the water Jack finds a door for rose to stay on so that she stays out of the water, and he stays in the water and hold the door steady. Thousands of people were left in the water and only (about) fifteen people survived. Rose was one among them and Jack passed away.
            This film depicted amazing effect, and dialogue. James Cameron did a great job coming up with the story line. It is a movie you must watch. You will laugh, cry, and be stunned with this amazing work.
