I absolutely loved this movie and can watch it over and over again! First of all I love Leonardo Di Caprio who plays the part of Jack Dawson, a young American artist who makes his living sketching drawings in Paris. During a card game he ends up winning a pair of tickets for a trip on the unsinkable Titanic. The ship is divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class, depending how wealthy or poor you are. Rose DeWitt Bukater, played by Kate Winslet, who although is on 1st class and is about to marry the rich and snobbish Cal Hockley, feels trapped and is suicidal. One night she tries killing herself by climbing over the rail of the ship but Jack sees her and convinces her to come back in. She agrees but slips and Jack heroically catches her and pulls her over. Her fiance, Cal, invites Jack to dinner the next evening but is rude to Jack because of his lower class position and so are many of the others who dined with them like Rose's overbearing mother. The comments made to Jack doesn't seem to bother him much and lures Rose away to a party in 3rd class. Rose has a great time with Jack and the two end up falling in love even though their relationship is taboo. Later the Titanic hits an iceberg and the ship starts going down. By this time, Cal and his crooked partner have learned of Rose and Jack's relationship and are after them. The movie is great and has some historical facts to it which I believe, adds even more character to the film. The unsinkable Molly Brown is played by the Academy Award winner Kathy Bates and all the other characters did a great job as well.
