Jeez, i mean, i know the script can be a little cheesey at times with lines like "a woman's heart is an ocean full of secrets" but this movie deserves more credit than that. Won 11 academy awards which is tied for most ever won at the oscars. Also held the record for highest-grossing movie of all time for ten years. Not to mention the great soundtrack, costumes, and special effects made it that much better. I understand if people maybe dont like it for the love story, but at least appreciate it as a decently accurate depiction of one of the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

In rememberance of those who lost their lives 103 years ago today.

Because it is a shitty movie?

This movie is the very perfect embodiment of the expression you can polish a turd but its still shite.

Because it glamorizes whorism and turning your back on family/loved ones?

Because the message of the movie is that the rich always win and will kill the poor to stay on top?

This.

Too long. Beautiful visuals, and some fine supporting roles, but the wooden leads, poor execution of the main story just leave the movie as substantial as cotton candy - pretty, but not much there of substance.

frick Rose.

frick her for killing Leo. I don't care who says what, there was plenty of space and buoyancy on that door that he could have climbed on board.

"I'll never let go!"
:let's go:

That's not to even get me started on her shtick with the gem. All the time and money wasted for that shite.

Because they actually used, and thus lost, a real giant diamond in the filming of the movie?

If we're being honest, James Cameron is an incredibly overrated director who made two good Scifi movies 30 years ago who has exceptional marketing skills .

4, baw - T, Aliens, T2 and the Abyss - and I think all 4 were great. True Lies was VERY good. But, hasn't made a good movie since, though.

Say what?

Terminator
Aliens
The Abyss
Terminator 2
True Lies

All pretty awesome.

And Titanic isn't horrible, and Avatar was pretty damn good (if nothing else for the graphics alone).

Rose was a terrible, terrible person who let Jack die because she wanted him to comfort her while her spoiled self sat on the door. She should have told him to find some other bouyant object to float on. She didn't even give him a chance.

Jack was a relatively decent and resourceful guy who fell in love with the wrong girl for no good reason whatsoever. He should have lived.

The whole movie was utterly stupid and I really hate it. Rose lived an utterly selfish life and James Cameron billed it as "salvation." Rose said that Jack saved her in every way she could be saved. If that is true, then Cameron's vision of salvation is a deplorable.

Then, to top it off, Rose throws the diamond into the sea. The diamond that she held onto her whole life. It could have provided for her granddaughter after she died 5 minutes later from being 1000 years old. It also would have been a treasure for people all over the world to marvel over. But, no. She had to throw it into the sea to commemorate the way that she threw Jack into the sea in her other great selfish act in her life.

Man, I hate that movie.

Because we all know Jack sucks at drawing French girls? And poor French girls are terrible art subjects anyway
