WARNING: SPOILERS
This film took enormous efforts to make and the special effects were outstanding achievement. Why criticising the movie because the two main characters are fictitious? This is a story based on the FACT of the sinking of the unsinkable, just a story. A very emotional one, perhaps at times too sentimental, but for certain good entertainment. The cast were superb, even though the plot seems surreal. Leonardo DiCaprio deserved more credits for his acting, Kate Winslet's and Gloria Stuart's performances were fabulous. The movie received much acclaim and criticism alike, simply because it was such a smash-hit.
Like Romeo and Juliet, Jack's (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose's (Kate Winslet) love would never die, because it is cut short before it can- one brief encounter brings the love that lasts for a life time. I believe love makes anything possible, so even in 1912, an upper-class young woman would fall in love with a third-class male passenger, because Rose is a different girl. She is rebellious and audacious, but feels caged by her upcoming marriage with Cal (Billy Zane), all just for his wealth to support Rose and her mother. Jack falls in love with her at first sight, saves her life and the chemistry between them becomes burning and boiling. Such love affair is possible. Anything is possible. Rose admires Picasso, and Jack is an artist who travels around and only has ten bucks in his pocket. They set each other's spirit free. The party at the lower-class section is great fun, real fun. Rose says to Jack that, when the ship arrives in America, she will go with him.
So it is too late when they have realised that the unsinkable has collided with an iceberg, and the life boats are not enough for all passengers. The mass death is gruesome. When Rose hears the boat coming back, Jack has already been frozen to death, so she lets go, watching his body sink into the deep end.
When the older Rose (Gloria Stuart) has told her story to the crew who have been searching for the Heart of the Ocean, the blue diamond, their faces are all covered with tears. But what really matters is, the Heart of the Ocean has still not been found. Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) gives up his ambition. The diamond will never be found.
Rose gets to the edge of the search team ship, get the Heart of the Ocean out of her pocket, and throws it into the sea. So now it is with Jack, forever.
If it wasn't Jack, Rose wouldn't be here today...
James Cameron created a dazzling work of art. You love it, or you hate it, nothing in between. However, this doesn't apply to me. I am, as a matter of fact, not mad about the film, and don't hate it, either.
