Titanic Movie: The Good, The Sad and The Depressing

   Now everyone knows the famous 1997 version of Titanic with Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet in love with each other than knowing that love is stronger than any iceberg would keep them apart even though he dies.

   Well some people like it, others hate it, and others love it. I LOVE IT!!! I however don't like Leonardo Di Caprio and I really didn't cry much when he died and sank in the water like my mom did, but i just loved how much of the history and accuracy they added in it. I don't know if it was 100% accurate but they did manage to get most of the historic accuracy of the passengers that survived and died when Titanic sank on April 15th 1912, and I cannot believe it has been 100 years since that happened.

    There were very good actors that portrayed actual people that were on the Titanic such as 'Molly' Brown portrayed by Kathy Bates (who did a wonderful job in my opinion), Thomas Andrews [who died on the ship] portrayed by Victor Gambor, Captain John Smith [who also died on the ship] was portrayed by Bernard Hill. There is many Historical characters in the movie, some that passed away on the ship and some that survived. 

   But the main story wasn't just about Titanic and it's last maiden voyage, but about two lovers. Rose and Jack. And we all know how it went. He's poor, she's rich, She's engaged, he doesn't care, because deep down inside, he knew she doesn't like the rich life, I mean she did try to kill herself because of it all. Her mother hated Jack. She wanted her to stay with Cal (played by the cute and sexy Billy Zane) [why do I always fine the bad guys hot?] mostly because of their money troubles and that he was rich. But love, to her, was more powerful than anything, even the heart of the ocean, worn around her neck wasn't enough to tempt her to stay with Cal. 

  TTYTT: Matthew McHonahay was going to be Jack but had a scheduling problems at the time and couldn't do it (THANK U GOD) Many actors were on for the role of Cal before Billy Zane got the part such as Rupert Evert or Pierce "007" Brosnan or even Rob Lowe- now that would have been interesting.

The old lady, portrayed by the late Gloria Stuart, was the only actress who had experienced the Titanic in real life since she was only a year old when it happened. She plays Old Rose who tells the whole story as if it happened only yesterday. They said it brought horrid memories into Gloria Stuart and she didn't like it one bit. 

    The movie is over three to four hours long, I could handle that, because it feels as if the story is going by so fat and you see when the movie ends how long it has been once you check your watch.

   At the end she's asleep and I didn't understand the scene at the end where there are a bunch of people at the end.   Well the ending is both wonderful and sad. It seems her shadow is wondering through the remains of the ship and she gets to a door where it opens and all the 1,500 souls that were lost when Titanic sank are there greeting her, she is still walking she finally meets Jack at the top of the stairs. He is waiting for her, and she is young Kate Winslet again. That scene makes me tear, because if she dies of it is a dream or what. It is all up to the audience's point of view and what think happened at the end, but before all that, the old Gloria Stuart, god rest her soul, walks to the side of a ship and drops the heart of the ocean necklace into the sea where it belongs.


      If you haven't seen this movie, GO SEE IT! It is wonderful James Cameron work. So beautiful, and yes even the song "My Heart will go on" will be irritating at times, but you hear it while watching this movie, it's worth it, and do not (and yes they do exist) get the cartoon movie versions of Titanic. You will regret it if you do.  
    I'm not a big fan of Leonardo Di Caprio and I did not cry when he died at the end. If another blonde (not Matthew McHonahay) took his part ( like Matt Damon) took his part, I would have cried. He's a great actor, I just didn't care for him in this role but it did make him and Kate Winslet super stars.  Caio Bloggers!!! MY HEART WILL GO ON!!!!
