lets review the two movies.1. We meet a male protagonist who is poor and displaced but very resourceful and smart.
2. We meet a female protagonist who is wide eyed, innocent and dripping with unfullfilled potential.
3. Unlikely circumstance throws the two together.
4. The two are then persued for the bulk of the movie by a relentless deadly force.
5. We see a series of narrow escapes.
6. During the course of the chase the two protagonists fall in love
7. In the end the male protagonist dies for the sake of saving the female protagonist.
8. The female protagonist goes on to live a full life fullilling the promise of their great potential having been put in touch with her potential by the chance encounter with the poor displaced male protagonist and the hardship of the relentless persuit they had nearly survived together.
These movies are soooo much the same basic movie it is laughable. Cameron couldn't break from his adolencent fanatasy. Because Cameron was stuck in this rut he failed to portay the true horror of the real situation the people on the Titanic faced which had nothing to do with narrow escapes from a relentless force.
