Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The paintings shows in Rose's cabin, apparently by Picasso, Monet and Degas, have been the subject of much criticism, supposedly because these paintings are originals that never travelled on Titanic, or because they were too large to fit aboard the ship. In truth, the paintings are just imitations of the style of each artist. The painting by Picasso is not the famed Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, but merely a painting in the same style.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Brock Lovett: Thirteen meters; you should see it.
Brock Lovett: [seeing the shipwreck come into view for the first time] OK; take her up and over the bow rail.

One of a Kind

To all the miserable people who have done everything from complain about the dialogue, the budget, the this and the that....who wants to hear it? IF you missed the point of this beyond-beautiful movie, that's your loss. The rest of us who deeply love this movie do not care what you think. I am a thirthysomething guy who has seen thousands of movies in my life, and this one stands in its own entity, in my book. It was not supposed to be a documentary, or a completely factual account of what happened that night. It is the most amazing love story ever attempted. I know that it is the cynical 90's and the millennium has everyone in a tizzy, but come on. Someone on this comments board complained that it made too much money! How lame is that? It made bundles of money in every civilized country on the planet, and is the top grossing film in the planet. I will gladly side with the majority this time around. Okay, cynics, time to crawl back under your rock, I am done.
