#The incredible true story movie
Well before it was released, James Cameron’s passion project became notorious as the most expensive movie ever made, with a final budget of $200 million. 1 movie in the US for 15 consecutive weeks, a feat that has yet to be surpassed, and likely never will be. Viewers - many of them adolescent and preadolescent girls like me - would go back to Titanic over and over again while it was in theaters. I knew that the movie had completely devastated me, and I knew that all I wanted was to be devastated again. The credits were barely rolling as I began to strategize my next viewing. What was new was this feeling: that I had to get back to Titanic as soon as possible. I was 9, but I already understood he had a habit of wandering off when he got bored. And even when the lights came up and I realized my father was missing, his absence didn’t seem to matter much. I couldn’t think about anything else while the movie played. It didn’t matter that I knew exactly what was coming. But it wasn’t fair, my friend explained: It was obvious to her that there was room for them both. One of my friends had briefed me on what to expect: Jack and Rose fall in love, the ship sinks, and Jack finds a piece of wreckage floating in the sea and helps Rose clamber onto it, saving her from the freezing death that claims him before the lifeboats return for survivors. I wasn’t conscious of any reality but Titanic, even though I already knew exactly what was going to happen. The first time I saw Titanic, my father left the theater in the middle of the movie to get a haircut.
