***spoiler alert*** This an epic movie on many levels, the costumes, the cinematography, the score -truly a big budget film, that did "look" great on big screen, and is deserving of many of the awards it won.
The DiCaprio/Winslett love story drove the movie, yet was the proverbial "weakest link", in my opinion, considering they were both fictional characters. Everything happening in the periphery was much more entertaining and made the ultimate tragedy of the movie seem more human, rather than being so detached, as many movies do.
Beyond the ship sinking, the "real" tragedy of the movie was Rose, the old bag, tossing the Heart of the Ocean (you know, the priceless blue diamond) into the ocean at the end of the movie. She had no use for it, and Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) seemed like a decent guy, so why not give it to him? That totally killed the movie for me. Had that been my expedition, and I witnessed her toss the necklace like that, she would have been tossed over the rail right after.
