titanic
i watched the vcd n wondered why the hell was i sooo captivated, as was most of the world, with the movie? after 10 years since i first watched it, i've realised that things i appreciate in a film is very much different now (thank goodness). sure, there was the gorgeous leo dicap whose talent i still admire till this day but whose beauty has seemed to fade since his gisele relationship. there was the great special effects and details to every single ornament in the ship. there was the clear illustration of social class differences and blatant inequality. it is truly a intricate film that explored many aspects of society in that age. but ultimately, it is an unconditional love story that transcended barriers.
i remember being rather obsessed with the film when i was 13. i even bought a writing pad that had the pic of rose on the plank n jack freezing in the water with the caption "my heart will go on". i remember using this writing pad to write letters to my first unofficial bf who was quite a romantic and bought me the movie's soundtrack. i remember sitting next to my cd player listening to "my heart will go on" on repeat mode. haha, i was so hopeless.
today, that cd is gone - bro lent it to some fren who nv returned it. i got into a fit then of coz, but i cant care less now bcoz i've changed. i'm not a hopeless romantic anymore.
jack's love was beautiful. not many are able to reassure their loved one with such certainty at the verge of death, saying things like she'll die at an old old age in a nice warm bed and have many grandchildren. the promise to live was equally beautiful with rose fighting for her life when she could haf so easily given up, n continuing with life with jack always in the depths of her heart.
love stories are just a source of hope and even fantasy for souls in this imperfect world where love is conditional. that's why i dun watch romance movies in theatres anymore.
the ultimate love story is recorded in the most sold book in the world, and that is wat the world truly needs and has! if it just believes.
