i went to see it again. but as i was watching it i realised there are some really HUGE loopholes in this story and no one seems to notice it.

the real pitch of this story is the captain of the ship trying to find the lost treasure of the titanic : the blue diamond. instead he finds a drawing of a hot naked chick with the diamond and in comes 101 years old Rose who starts telling her story … and that's where is all goes a wee bit crazy and inconsistent.

In the name of true love, crazy "my heart will go on" celine dionesque romantics , we hear a POV tale by Rose of Jack and the rest of the crew : but Rose relates stuff that she couldn't even know because she was never in those scenes she mentions ..

i never thought about it before because back when i first saw Titanic i was dating this awesome young girl and i didn't really care about the storyline consistencies etc.. but now and today ! when i think of all the prizes this film one and i realise : slap in the face " the script pitch isn't consistent i can't help but bring it to your attention and … i know … break a little movie magic moment.

sorry about that, i'm a buzzkill.

Vincent

Yes, the story is cheesy, but that movie makes the real story come alive. I cannot watch that show without crying. Damn you, Greg!!!!!!
