The film poster shows a man and a woman hugging over a picture of the Titanic's bow.

I'd love to write about "Titanic." It was my first experience watching a movie in the cinema. I had a mix of feelings: amazed, stunned, plaintive, cheerful and cheerless.

"Titanic" is an epic action and romance movie. The director, James Cameron, made this movie the second most famous film during the last twenty years.

It is full of valuable messages such as: There is no distinction between rich and poor people. This was very clear when the ship of dreams hit an iceberg and sank into the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912; all the people were scared because life is priceless for all and it's a right for all as is death. The crew tried to let the rich people be first in the lifeboats. However, because of a shortage of lifeboats, only 700 survived, and more than 1,500 people died. With this point, I realized how fate is works.

The other message seems to be about love and happiness, which is clear when Rose, a "rich lady," fell in love with Jack, a "poor young man." She was more cheerful in a party with third class people than an aristocratic one.

No one can expect what will happen in his life, even if we reach our dreams, so it is good to live every day as our last day, and we have to enjoy life because it is too short.
