Love

Love, I believe, is the most romantic thing in this world. It is just beautiful that there is a person who always loves and cares you, and sometimes gets mad at you. There are lots of kinds of loves. It does not have to be a love between couples; the love between family and friend is romantic too. In my view, love is the innermost element in this whole world; it could also be the smallest or biggest. And in this blog I would like to talk about a ROMANTIC love in the movie the Titanic.

There was a pair of a man and a woman in this movie: Jack and Rose. They met each other on a ship and they are gradually attracted to each other. Jack was one of the poor guys in the story while Rose was from an upper level class family. But they stayed together to the end of the movie regardless of this big difference in their family class. In the movie, their ship crashed onto a big piece of ice and started to sink into the sea. Everybody tried to get off from the ship and get on to boats but the priority went to women and children. Of course Jack led Rose get on the boat first. Although Rose initially agreed to get on the boat without Jack, she got off the boat and came back on the ship again. Finally, the ship completely sank into the sea leaving Jack and Rose on a piece of wood on the surface of the sea. Jack chose to let Rose stay on the wood because he did not want Rose to get too cold; he chose to stay in the freezing sea water in order to save Rose. At the end, Jack passed away because it was way too cold in the sea water, but Rose was saved. What a good story! But, the question is why? Why they stayed together in the rest of the movie? Why Jack let Rose get on the boat and why did Rose come back? Why Jack sacrificed himself to save Rose? Why? I guess I don’t have to tell you the answer; it is because they were in love. Jack loved Rose and Rose did too. The love between them kept them together, and made them protect each other.

This movie the Titanics is based on a real incident. The incident itself was a really tragic accident while in this movie I felt a strong sense of love which made the movie romantic. (Though it’s still a sad ending.) The newspapers only reported what happened and why it happened whereas in the movie there was a romantic story which touches your heart. What I found out from this difference was that in news, or politic, romantic factor such as love are not really mentioned. But, with a romantic story, news can touch your heart.
