Movie Review ~ Titanic (1997)

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.
