Titanic

Ok, so I just got through watching Titanic.
It's a beautiful movie, but tragic too. Of course, based on actual events and there are so many details about the movie that are from real life.
It's has great acting, and beautiful music.
Though I hope you all know about the Titanic, here's a brief summary Remember, it's all true.
In 1912, the largest, grandest ship in the world was built in Europe. It was famous all over and everyone bragged about how the beautiful Titanic was unsinkable. From the rich to the poor, passengers embarked for the maiden voyage from England to America. Titanic made headlines all over.
At first, the voyage went off without a hitch. The largest ship in the world with its load of 2200 people was making excellent time.
But the low temperatures of the Pacific meant that icebergs were a real danger. And the ship was going too fast and didn't have very good turning capabilities. They saw the iceberg too late. The ship scraped along the iceberg, punching holes along the hull. And the unsinkable ship started to take on water. Women and children were quickly loaded onto lifeboats, but there were only enough boats to fit half the passengers. After all, who needs lifeboats on an unsinkable ship? And as the Titanic sinks beneath the surface of the Pacific ocean, 1500 people are taken down with it.
The movie follows 2 characters throughout this tragedy: Rose, the rich spoiled daughter in a rich family, and Jack, a penniless boy who, despite their differences in status, fall for reach other.
Ooh, that was a really weird review... Don't mind me. Just watch the movie.
Ooh, here's a funny little note. In my story, "Grip of Faith" (Written quite a while ago!) The two main characters have this thing they always say to each other-"I'll never let go." I got that from this movie. Heheh. I'd probably watched it just before writing that story.
