my review of Titanic

           Titanic. A moving retelling of the tragedy that happened to the boat Titanic with a moving love story weaved in the fabric.
           The story started with a 17 year old fiancee of a rich man and a poor guy (who won his tickets for the ride on Titanic through a lucky hand of poker) both are among the 2200 passengers on the infamous boat Titanic. The first night the girl realized how her life was going to be and ran to the end of the boat and climbed over the rail to jump in, but the guy came and talked her out of it. Saying that if she jumped in, he would have to jump in after her.
           In the next couple days they fall in love and she plans on leaving the boat with him. But then the boat hits the iceburg and starts to sink. (it took about 2 1/2 hours before it actually sunk) Anyway, he tried to get her off the boat alive, (they were only allowing women and children in the life boats) but she wouldn't go without him. In the end they end up in the water after the boat sunk. 1 of the 20 lifeboats returned to pick up any survivors. 1494 of the 1500 people remaining in the boat died. Jack died to.
           Overall, the best part of the movie was the actual telling of the tragedy that was Titanic along with the footage of what Titanic looked like before the accident. It was an extremely big and beautiful ship. This was an excellent part of the movie.
           Then there was the love story. Jack and Rose were two very different classes of people and yet they met and fell in love. Rose was willing to leave her family without money in order to be with Jack. She also would have rather died than live without Jack (a fact shown through her jumping off of a lifeboat back into the boat to be with Jack). The story was a sad story in the fact that he died at the very end. Yet, a lovely idea for a story.
           Overall, a 9.5 out of 10 for this movie. A worthy see for any person who is willing to sit 3 hours to watch a tear-jerking excellent movie. (Keep in mind the positives and negatives following)

Negatives of the Movies:

           Of course since I am a Christian you would expect this to be on my negative list. The Nudity. Besides the part where you see the drawing of her naked, there is the part where you actually see her without a top on. And it's not a once passing either. You see her 2 or 3 times. Now, this is only what 10 seconds out of a 3 hour movie. But, still I think that this movie might have gotten a 10 out of 10 were it not for this.

           The other negative was the language. There was a little bit too much language in this movie. I didn't really notice it the first time I watched it because I was so caught up in the movie, but I did notice it the second time I watched.

The Positives:

           I already stated these above. They include an excellent retelling of the tragedy that was Titanic and an excellent love story weaved in the fabric of it.
