I watched it when I was very young, 5 or 6, thinking it was a true story, and Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater were real people. It just looked so convincing to me, when they found the ship and looked for the lady in the picture. I even looked for Jack's name in the encyclopedia. But after 13 years I found out their love story was just fiction. I was so shocked...even my mm thought it was a real story... silly me.

Well, at least now you know the truth... The movie was still very good even though it was fiction- and it did look real seeing the old Rose telling the story and with the pictures and all.. James Cameron is just a good director and writer

hahaha awww. I think the fact that they wernt real was why I didnt like it in the first place. also i'm not a leo fan either. Its annoying when you find things like that out after you believed something else. I thought that the blair witch project was real for about 3 years after I watched it. Wouldnt have been so scary if I'd have known the truth

I think I would still love the movie even if it was just fiction becasue I love story and the setting, and Leo. But it was quite a shock for me to know about it.. But yes, watching a "real" horror story makes it so much scarier. That's why some say based n true events..

Well, we all have to wake up and see the truth someday. to be honest, I thought the picture of that woman was true either and most specially the jewel. but there are rumors of five people who got stuck in the ICE parts in the antartic was found and being revived. but that information was never proven.

Hi lady1993, I absolutely loved Titanic and each and every character depicted in this movie. I can understand your state of shock after realising the story was fiction because the love story seemed so real in the movie. I absolutely adored Kate and Leo in this movie. They made the love story seem so true, so inspiring. I don't have any complaints about Titanic, I thought it was perfect!

I read somewhere before, that the lives of those people aboad the Titanic were so ordinary that they would not make the movie interesting.
Thus they had to create the story of Jack and Rose, filled with all the soap opera drama and suspense that people would go and watch. It worked.

Jack and Rose is my favourite film and I wish they're so true, more than fiction
They're so touching and seems to be the fairy tale one of a kind
