I'd rather see the prequels than Titanic. I mean, I don't know what's the appeal of Titanic. Don't tell me there are love relationships like that, I can't possibly relate with the plot or the characters. Everything is just too idealized, and I truly hate how Leo always comes to the rescue to save the girl. Titanic is full of awful stereotypes, and the fact that it has 12 Oscars just angers me a lot. Also, the climax is shit. C'mon, Lio, just get up to the fucking table, or at least try.

There are much better romantic films. I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a very good example. Relationships are flawed, they're not Disney-like.

Real Life Titanic:

"Sorry Jack, you have nice hair .... but Cal has like a lot of money. Like a lot. And a life boat. I can't live in poverty, so uh, see ya.". 

Yeah, that wouldn't be cinematic material, that's for sure xDDDDD. The problem is I think that the relationship is too damn perfect that I can't find it relatable at all. Titanic is actually a sci-fi movie, more sci-fi than Aliens. So it's only build on bland and fake sentimentality, and I can't truly get over that, because it's a film which is supposed to make you feel, and if you can't relate with the characters it's a borefest. A veeeery long borefest. Because the plot is not outstanding precisely. It's obviously a character driven movie.
