As you know, the 3 -hour- 14 -minute "Titanic" is no mere disaster movie. It's an epic love story about a 17 -year-old American aristocrat (Kate Winslet) who is betrothed to a rich and hateful suitor (Billy Zane) but falls in love with a free-spirited artist (Leonardo Di. Caprio), who won his third-class passage in a card game.

It's "R omeo has b ecom and Julie t" on e an a inter natio sinking ship nal s a ensa tion. nd

"Titanic" is also a movie about money and its evils. With fine irony, Cameron has spent more dollars than any other filmmaker to make a film that denounces the rich.

But it is the love between the unhappy Rose and the sanguine, open- hearted Jack that occupies stage centre. Is it the great love story Cameron so desperately wanted to make? Not quite. Visually, his lovers are an odd match: next to Di. Caprio's boyish beauty, Winslet looks womanly. And once the disaster strikes, their individual fates become overwhelmed by the communal horror. Our hearts, at least, couldn't break once these lovestruck kids were surrounded by floating frozen corpses.
