 Titanic - Rotten Tomatoes

Titanic

The 1997, romance/adventure film, Titanic, follows the story of a poor man named Jack Dawson who was lucky enough to win tickets to the most exclusive and beautiful cruise ship in the world. While on the ship, he finds a wealthy woman named Rose, who is about to take her own life by jumping off the ship into the cold water. Jack interferes, saving her life, and they fall in love. However, Rose is trapped in an unhealthy relationship with a man who is obsessed with money and power. Then suddenly, the ship crashes into an iceberg and begins to sink. Everyone on the boat begins to panic and fight over the limited lifeboats and Jack and Rose must try to survive in the dangerously cold water. Jack ends up sacrificing himself to save Rose and she makes it to land safely.

Everyone watching this film knows the ending, but Jack and Rose’s beautiful love story almost makes you forget about their terrible fate. The beautiful sets, music, and color scheme are enchanting and almost make you want to join them on the ship (almost). James Cameron beautifully makes the audience feel a blissful peace which makes the ending even more devestating and off-putting. The wide shots of the film show just how large the ship is and how beautiful the ocean is in the film. 

What is it about the movie 'Titanic' that makes it so appealing and involving? - Quora

This is one of my favorite films to always go back to because even though I know the ending, the 2 hours leading up to the ship sinking are mesmerizing and whimsical. The genius storyline and the lovable characters are what make this film a timeless classic. Everyone should see Titanic because it is a brilliant representation of a tragic event in history.
