Titanic (1997), directed by James Cameron, is a historical romance and disaster film set against the backdrop of the infamous sinking of the RMS Titanic. The story unfolds through the eyes of an elderly Rose DeWitt Bukater, who recalls her experience aboard the ill-fated ship. Rose (played by Kate Winslet) is a young, aristocratic woman trapped in a loveless engagement to wealthy industrialist Cal Hockley (Billy Zane). Her life changes when she meets Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a free-spirited artist from a working-class background who wins a ticket to the Titanic in a poker game.

As Jack and Rose fall in love, their romance develops amid the growing tensions between the upper and lower classes on the ship. However, their love story is tragically interrupted when the Titanic strikes an iceberg and begins to sink. The film portrays the chaos and panic of the disaster, while also focusing on the personal struggles of the characters. Rose faces a tough decision between her oppressive fiancé and her newfound love for Jack, while the sinking ship offers a grim setting for the unfolding tragedy.

The film’s iconic moments include the heart-stopping scenes of the ship sinking, the dramatic “I’m the king of the world” scene, and the heart-wrenching final moments between Jack and Rose. Throughout its runtime, Titanic explores themes of love, class division, fate, and loss.

A groundbreaking achievement in cinema, Titanic was lauded for its stunning visuals, historical accuracy, and emotional depth. It won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and remains one of the highest-grossing films of all time.
