An expensive Romantic tragedy

Titanic is not only one of the top grossing movies in history but reigns as one of the best romantic tragedies in film history. The movie based on actual events in 1912 aboard the "biggest ship ever made", Titanic is a movie about tragedy but yet expresses this through a love story between Jack and Rose. The movie was extremely expensive to make, but turned out to be a masterpiece. What we see mostly in this movie is the idea of romance through an event of tragedy. It is in the romance that effects the movie as a whole as we witnesses this great tragedy.

"The romantic thread is appealing enough, but its greater purpose is to make the effect of the tragedy more personal."

What i think makes the romance unique, is that the love is not always a happy ending.
