Rose and Jack are two of the most iconic film characters of all time. Say their names and immediately any teenager or adult will know that you are talking about "Titanic." "Titantic," in my humble—yet biased—opinion, is the best movie ever created. I first watched "Titantic" when I was 12 years old and it has been my favorite movie ever since. Here are seven reasons why I love this 1997 classic:
1. It's a tragic love story.
The love between Rose and Jack is undeniable. From the moment they met, there was an instant connection. Even though (SPOILER ALERT!) Jack dies at the end of the movie, Rose never forgets Jack throughout her life and does all of the things that they planned to do together, like horseback riding on the beach and going to Coney Island.
2. Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet are beautiful people.
They are best friends in real life and I am just so in love with their relationship. They support each other in everything that they do. Even though I wish they were a couple, I appreciate their love and friendship that is absolutely beautiful.
3. Jack is the "King of the World" in so many aspects.
First of all, Jack is dashingly handsome and looks great in trousers and suspenders. Second of all, he has the best sidekick, Fabrizio, who is equally as handsome and has the cutest Italian accent. Lastly, he is able to get the girl without being rich (Jack is actually homeless).
4. Jack saves Rose from committing suicide.
Rose, distraught about her unfulfilling life, wants to purposely end her life (ironically) before the Titantic takes the lives of many aboard. Jack, in a charmingly heroic way, convinces her to not jump ship and to stay with him.
5. The most iconic line of all time.
Enough said.6. Rose and Jack say each other's names a ridiculous amount of times and it's adorable.
Rose said Jack's name 80 times, whereas Jack said Rose's name 50 times. They just love each other so much!
7. Jack and Rose are reunited in heaven at the end of the movie because not even death could keep them apart.
I kind of feel bad for Rose's husband that she married after Jack died. Is he not in heaven watching Rose and Jack kiss? Nevertheless, Rose and Jack have a beautiful love that makes "Titantic"
