Many people who wanted to see a historic drama with special effects, realistic sets, and period costumes were surprised to learn that they would also have to sit through a romantic love story. .
"Titanic was 883 feet long (1/6 of a mile), 92 feet wide and weighed 46,328 tons. She was 104 feet tall from keel to bridge, almost 35 feet of which were below the waterline. even so, she stood taller above the water than most urban buildings of the time-(John P Eaton). There were three real smokestacks; a fourth, dummy stack was added largely to increase the impression of her gargantuan size and power and to vent smoke from her numerous kitchens and galleys. She was the largest movable object ever made by man. Cameran portrays this aspect very well at the beginning of the movie by showing how enormous the ship really was.
However, one must realize that there are actually two stories within the film. The main story is not that of the Titanic itself but rather the romantic connection between Jack Dawson, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Rose De Witt Bukatar, played by Kate Winslet. The second story, the one bearing the film's title, is the tale of one of the greatest disasters of the modern industrial age, the sinking of the Titanic. "Primarily, it is a fictional love story; Romeo and Juliet on the sea. Unfortunately, it is the romantic story which most viewers will remember, and the one that is most celebrated-(John P Eaton). .

Hollywood has never been good at authenticity; especially historical. Titanic has been criticized because Winslet's character would never have been so educated in modern art, so interested in spitting. In the days of the Titanic, one would not find such a rebellious woman, one who would disobey her parents and have an affair with her fiancé. People were extremely conscious about their social and financial status. In the film, as in real life during this time, the poor and the rich have little association with one another.
