I have recently watched the film‘The Titanic’ directed by James Cameron, and I have to say, it was great. The film it’s self is a story about a third class passenger, named Jack Dawson (Leonardo Di Caprio)who was an artist he won his ticket in a game of poker and then fell in love with posh girl, Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet). The part which I find most shocking would be the treatment of the third class passengers and how horrifically they were treated. When the women and children of first class were being herded on to the life boats, the crew were busy locking the passengers of third class below deck. All because of the class order, hundreds of people died along withthe Captain Edward John Smith, who chose to go down with the ship.
Over all this is a great film and takes you on a journey with Jack and Rose along the vast decks of RMS Titanic but I do feel that the film was more based around a love story than a factual, descriptive, moral series of events. I feel this is where the film is let down, it regains some ground with the skill clearly shown through the portrayal of the characters by the actors. 

I  like this film very much and will rewatch it again and again!
