EDIT: NS--I'm not sure where you heard that, but the love story part of Titanic is very much made up and not based on anyone in the slightest.

I read an article a long time ago about a couple it was very loosely based on. No, not a real "Jack & Rose". Their names escape me now.
On another note, I saw the sets from the movie & a few actual pieces from the ship itself at King's Island in Ohio after it came out. It was pretty swell.
I am.
I mean, I'm willing to admit this movie really isn't that good. The high points: the costuming, sets, and music are still smurfing unbelievable, and I don't think anyone can criticize them.
The low points: the CGI, the story. And the CGI is forgivable because it was the mid-90s. It just hasn't aged well, which is to be expected.
I guess the reason I still love this movie so much is because of how much I loved it when I was younger. I see its flaws, but I still love it regardless. And I still weep openly at certain parts of this movie--not just when Jack dies. It's a very, very, very corny movie, but it's probably one of my favourite movies of all time. Like, top 5 for sure.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's how you give a film analysis. Fair, balanced, and consisting of more than the word "trout".
Titanic is not a film I especially like, it has moments of self-indulgence and downright melodrama. But the acting, production values, cinematography, costuming, makeup, and especially the sets were almost peerless for the time it was released. It's a "guilty" pleasure of a film (if even that), but it's made far too competently to be called "trout". Massively overrated, melodramatic, even immature and insincere, but not trout. Honestly, people, you don't win an award for not liking Titanic.
(SPOILER)
Do I get an award for having never seen it, at least?Honestly, people, you don't win an award for not liking Titanic.
If I was trying to win an award I'd be a bit more eloquent than calling it trout. But since there are no awards for hating a sixteen year old movie, I can just call it trout and move on with my day.Honestly, people, you don't win an award for not liking Titanic.
All's fair in love and film, Laddy.Ladies and gentlemen, that's how you give a film analysis. Fair, balanced, and consisting of more than the word "trout".

And that means Titanic was trout.
My heart willl gooo ooooonnnn annnnnnddddd oooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
If you skip to the bit with the boobs and then the bit when the boat hits the iceberg it's an amazing movie.
You're still my best girl, Cora.
Hell, that bit too! Plus, wasn't Bernard Hill in it? I like Bernard Hill.
When I come to think about it, all four of the people in this quote pyramid are simpletons with abysmal taste in most things.If these four hated it, Titanic was smurfing fantastic.
I smurfing loved Titanic.
I ran out of rep, otherwise you'd be getting some.
The re-release of this movie caused many tweets like this.
Also, I have never seen this movie all the way through. Never gave Titanic enough time to really sink in.
