Titanic review by Guille

Titanic was directed by James Cameron. It stars Leonardo Di caprio as Jack Dawson, and Kate Winslet as Rose. The film won 11 Oscars in 1998 at Oscar Night in Los Angeles.
The film is set in The Atlantic Ocean in the 1997. It was filmed on a ship. It's based on a real stoy from 1912.
The film is about a love story between Rose and Jack during the Titanic's voyage. But Rose had to get married to Cal hockey because her family is losing money. At the end, on 15th April of 1912 when the Titanic is sinking Jack sacrifises his life to save Rose. Cal survived too but he never saw Rose again.

I recommend Titanic film. It makes you cry, it has memorable soundtrack, and it's a very realistic fil for it's time.

The film is set in the Atlantic ocean in the 1912 on a replican ship.
This film is about a young 3th class boy and a 1st class girl who fall in love in just sight. the girl would be married with a man who doesn't love. the young boy, Jack, helps the girl, Rose, to survive at the sinking of the Titanic, sacrifising his life. The film starts with the old Rose explaining this history to some explorers that try to find her necless.
