Far across the distance and spaces between us, you have come to show you go on. Near, far, wherever you areI believe that the heart does go on.” When the familiar melody sung by Celine Dion rings again, people are flooding into cinemas to watch the 3D movie Titanic. The scene is so similar to that in 1997 when the movie Titanic swept the whole world and became the biggest success in movie history. People all over the world have wept over the great love between Rose and Jack. However, some people in China argue that Rose and Jacks love is immoral since Rose is engaged to Cal. They say that the story can be seen from another angleit would have been something like a one-night stand that will be forgotten quickly, but it became a lifelong regret because of a ship disaster. Actually, Rose and Jacks love is moral and true, regardless of fortune, background and secular vision.Love is just love, it should be simple. However, some Chinese are always used to judging things as right or wrong. When it comes to love, they maintain this inertia. They usually tell if it is wrong or right to love someone for many reasons. It seems to they know everything about love. They think that Rose is a lady with engagement, so it is acceptable that she has love affair with another man. But they neglect that before Rose meets Jack; her life is terrible and boring. The unnecessary and overelaborate formalities of upper class make her upset all day. She even wants to commit suicide! Jack appears and brings sunshine to her dark life. They become acquainted and Rose becomes more and more entranced by Jack easy, free-spirited charm. She falls in love with him, totally forgetting her engagement to Cal. When Brad Pitt fell in love with Angelina Jolie, abandoning her wife Jennifer Aniston, people did not blame him. But why are they so cruel to Rose who has to engage to Cal to recuse her familys honor. Its not Roses fault. Just as Jobs once said “Follow your heart!” what Rose does is just be herself. And she has the freedom to find her love; moreover, she has not married Cal. Others have no right to blame their love. If Rose does not meet Jack, if the ship does not sink, if Rose marries Cal finally, what will happen? Their marriage will not be happy. It is another tragedy.Fortunately, this tragedy does not happen. But some people do not stop their blame. In addition to doubting on the correctness of love, they also argue Rose and Jacks love is not true. For Rose, she is just curious about the new and exciting life she has never experienced before. She is thirsty for the freedom. For Jack, they think that he is only attracted by Roses beautiful body, elegant charms and lovely nature. What Jack loves is Roses beauty and body. People who hold this view do not understand the meaning of true love. What is true love? “Being together, share your joy and sorrow, share your body, understand each other, provide space to each other, but always be there for each others need. And surely love will blossom to strengthen your relationship with your matter of affection.” (“What is Love?”) When they stay together, they are happy and energetic all the time. Others cannot stop their enthusiasm. They can sacrifice everything for the other-even their life. as we all know, nothing in the world is more precious than life. In the movie, Rose rescues Jack from being locked-up at the risk of her own death. At last, Jack helps Rose on the board and tells her to live bravely, and then he froze to death in the cold sea water. The whole world is moved to tears for what he does for Rose. If this is not true love, there is no love in the world.Jack is dead, but Roses heart will go on, their love will go on. The feeling of true love is beautiful, but Rose cannot live on love! No bread, no love. Some people think it is strange that Rose does not choose Cal since he is so rich, tall, and handsome compared to Jack who is just a broke painter with no money, no house, and no car. It is strange that Cal loss her favorite woman to Jack. We admit it is true that Jack comes from nothing and has many shortcomings, but he has a kind heart and he loves Rose so much. We admit it is true that Cal is rich, but he is so mean. Moreover, what he loves is just Roses beauty and body which can satisfy his vanity. His love is so narrow for when he finds he will lose Rose, he wants to shoot her and Jack to death. It is not gentlemans behavior! From the movie, we can also know that Cal loves his fortune far more than Rose. Although Jack has not money, he can make Rose happy. Money can buy materials but cannot buy love. If we are unable to control our own love, what are we able to control? If we betray our love just for money, then we will finally lose our souls. What worry us is that in current China, many people put money at the first place in their love. They want to find a partner who is wealthy rater than they love. Recently, it is very popular among young people that girls want to find a boyfriend who is tall, rich, and handsome while boys want to find a girlfriend who is white, rich, and beautiful. Pure love is rare in China.Since pure and simple love is so difficult to find, what Rose does is great and brave. She has her right to find her true love regardless of those common custom ideas. She is fortunate that she meets the most important person of her life on the ship and has a happy time with him. She is unfortunate because the happy time is so short and she loses her love forever. Once a critic talked about the book The Age of Innocence“This is a story, exquisite in its details, painful in its beauty.”( “Passion and the Outsider”) The sentence is very suitable for the story Titanic, exquisite in its details, painful in i
