Our take on Titanic

James Cameron frames this romance-drama as a memory: 101-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater recounts, 84 years later, her voyage aboard the Titanic. A young Rose boards with her mother and fiancé, while Jack Dawson and Fabrizio De Rossi win third-class tickets, and her story follows the ship from its departure to its sinking on the first and last voyage of April 15, 1912. Cameron braids an intimate love story across class lines into a meticulously staged disaster, letting the human drama build before the catastrophe arrives. It's a long, emotionally direct epic about love and loss. It suits viewers who want sweeping romance and grand-scale tragedy given ample room to unfold.
