Well, I must admit I only watch the second half of the film. The story isn't much to speak of.The storyline was cliche and the characters were anachronistic and sappy. I personally hated the Celine Dion song. But the graphics were great.

reply

Funny you say that. I own this on VHS. And often watch just the second tape. The first half could have been cut considerably.

reply

Same here, I actually lost the first tape because I hardly watched it so I don't even know when it went missing.

reply

I used to do that myself. I would occasionally watch the whole thing for the "experience", but for the casual watch, I'd usually just pop in the second tape. Or watch the first part up to the "Take Her to Sea" scene (which I refuse to call the "King of the World" scene; fan or not, I don't entirely disagree with detractors about that particular line), then switch tapes.

reply

Okay. Now what are we supposed to do with that valuable piece of information, which most viewers don't agree with?

reply

That's actually when I stop watching. Two hours of them going back and forth from the life boats to somewhere in the ship. May God, make up your mind!

It never would have made $700 million if it was only about the sinking. Cameron uses the tried and true blueprint for the
historical romance. A romance (and this one's a doozy) sent against historical events.

reply

the events in this film are of the fictional variety

And the fact the Leo was smoking hot and Jack and Rose have chemistry. Other than that, your right

Next time put SPOILER in your subject. Some of us had no idea it sank!

Some of us had no idea they were on a ship!
