Although everybody knows how the movie must end, director James Cameron drains the tension by framing the story of the Titanic through the eyes of Rose (Kate Winslet), who tells about her romance with the impoverished passenger Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio).

The division between the rich and poor that dominates the early scenes gives way to a more complex dichotomy between suicide and self-preservation.
