I fell in love with this movie when I saw it over Christmas break on Dec. 22 1997.!!! I saw it for the second time on Jan. 29 1998!! I swear, it gets better every time!! I was not a die-hard/obsessed fan at first, but I have just gotten so interested in the movie, that I guess I am now!! *smile*
What is this about?
This movie is based on real life. There really was a 'Titanic' and it did sink in 1912! This movie not only recreates what happens, but there is a romantic subplot also.
The main characters of Jack and Rose are performed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Jack is a "scrappy, young, romantic artist travelling in steerage. Rose is "an unhappy upper class passenger". They meet and fall in love, which would of not been suitable for this time period, but hey, its the movies, so they do! The movie follows their love story as well as portryaing the disater of the Titanic.

In a quote from a cast member of Titanic, Barry Dennen, he says Leo and Kate "were like a naughty brother and sister"! They goofed around a lot together and became good friends.
The song by Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On" was such a good choice for the theme of the show! It tells how even though there is distance, your heart can survive! Below are the lyrics from the song!! The song can be found on both the "Titanic" soundtrack and Celine's new cd, "Let's Talk About Love".

What James Cameron Says About the Music
"Titanic" is first and above all a love story. the passion, intimacy, and the heartbreak one feels in watching a love story on film are created by the actors, but we help out where we can with cinematography, set design, and the other crafts. Of course, music is the most important addition to the actor's work for increasing the emotional impact of the film.
James Horner's score for "Titanic" is all I had hoped and prayed it would be, and much more. If deftly leaps from intimacy to grandeur, fromjoy to heart-wrenching sadness, and across the full emotional spectrum of the film while maintaining a stylistic and thematic unity. The music spans time, making immediate the actions and feelings of people 85 years ago with full emotional resonance withough falling into either of the two dreaded traps: the sweeping conventional period picture score, or the inappropriate modern and anachronist "counter program" score.
James has walked the tightrope by using synthesizer, vocals and full orhestra to create a timeless sound which tells us that these people were not so very different from us. Thier hopes, their fears, their passions are like ours. In the film I have tried to accentuate the universalties of human behavior, rather than focus on the quaint differences between this people and our own. James has done the same thing, bridging the gap of time and making these people seem to alive, so vibrant, so real that the dreaded event, when it finally comes, is terrifying in its authenticity.
And most importantly, he has made us one with Jack and Rose, feeling the beat of their hearts as they experience the kind of love we all dream about, but seldom find.
Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go till we're one
Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on
-Performed by Celine Dion on the "Titanic" soundtrack and her new cd- "Let's Talk About Love"
