Few are unfamiliar with the ironic story of the sinking of the "unsinkable" ship, the R.M.S Titanic.
But James Cameron's new film is "first and above all a love story."
- Jack Dawson is a third class passenger who wins his ticket to Titanic in a lucky round of poker.
- Rose DeWitt Bukater is a first class passenger, engaged to the proud and obnoxious Cal Hockley.
Jack and Rose meet as Rose threatens to throw herself off the Titanic, after her grim realisation of her life to come. "I saw my life as if I had already lived it. An endless parade of parties and polo matches, always the same narrow people.."
Jack, however, is a penny-less free spirited artist who captures Rose's heart. From then on their love blossoms , to a love so true they are willing to risk their lives for one another.
