I have a confession to make.

I like Titanic.

I wasn't a Leo fangirl even back when the movie came out and all the girls started worshipping him, and Jack/Rose doesn't do anything at all for me, but the movie itself? Like it. Like it very much.

It was being aired today, so I watched the drowning scenes. And cried (a bit), like I always do. Cameron has an eye for details, and it's the details that get me every.damn.time. Like when the musicians keep playing, Theoden the Captain and Jack Bristow the designer wait for the water to rush in, and then the camera shifts to the aged couple and the mother with her little children ('and they all lived happily ever after for the next 300 years'). And the rich gentleman sitting near the dining room with a glass of wine in his hand, watching people die, horrified. And then the view shifts to the lifeboat and they show Rose's mother and you *know* she's thinking "I left my daughter there to die" – and then the lights go out. Oh god. *sobs*

*is a sap*

Have a very happy new year, wherever you are. *raises glass*
