Both times I tried to watch it.
It's good but flawed.

Plus it robbed LA Confidential of Best Picture :(
Crazy looking back though - it was No. 1 at the US box office for fourteen weeks in a row or something.
I had to watch this movie in two parts, because I was so bored, and it was so long. Watched half of it, went away to watch another movie, then came back and finished it up.
I never saw it.
I remember being in eighth grade and this movie coming out and being SUCH A BIG HUGE DEAL. I was the only person in my classroom who didn't see it.
I saw it about 900000 times...
so yeah I didn't like it.
I passionately dislike this movie.
I don't know why, I mean I try to like it because I love both Kate and Leo but.... Just..... Ahhhhhhh

And then I was supposed to go see "The Wedding Singer" with my friends in my hometown and my brother dropped me off at the wrong theater, so I was like "Screw it. I'll go see Titanic for the 8 millionth time, whatevs." ... I go in and all the employees are in fake tuxedos and there's a huge Titanic cake by the doorway and a Titanic backdrop and all this other crap and I'm like "What in the hell?" ... So I go in (I'm way early anyway) and my friends end up showing up there. I ask them what's going on and they're like "Uhhh... It's -opening night-? Hel-lo?" and I'm like "Dude. No. You've gotta be kidding me. I've already seen this damn movie a lot of times..."
...... Small towns, man. SMDH!
Anyway, it's too long and blah blah blah and I'll throw it on if I wanna fall asleep real quick.
However, it really is loosely based on a true story. XD The couple that it's about didn't meet on the ship though, the man was the owner of a candy shop over in Europe, but he was married. He met the girl ("Rose", I guess. I can't remember their actual names) and ran away with her on the Titanic. When the ship sank, the man -did- die, and the woman lived, but I -think- she ended up back in England/Ireland wherever and went a bit nuts in the head.
