Titanic Movie Review Titanic (1997) is a wonderful love story based on real life events‚ as told by Rose‚ the main character of the story. Kate Winslet captured her character beautifully‚ acting as if she were really in a higher class in 1912. Most of this movie takes place on the Titanic‚ although some of it takes place in present time when Old Rose tells stories about her time on the ship. The whole movie seems like a flashback to April 1912. The movie is powerful‚ wonderful‚ and at times
