Movie Review ~ Titanic (1997)

Titanic – Rio Theatre

I love this movie . . . for a couple of reasons you might find really strange.

#1  It is an epic movie.  It just is.  Big boat.  Big love story.  Big adventure.  Big finish.

#2  Rose isn't your usual helpless female character counting on the man to save her from everything.  She fights as hard as Jack does to save themselves and those around them. 

#3  Okay, admit it.  What "old" Rose does at the end of the movie is perfect.  Just perfect.
