Which was a better movie, Romeo and Juliet or The Titanic?

            First of all, both movies Romeo and Juliet and The Titanic had Leonardo DiCaprio star in them. But were both movies equally as good, or was one better than the other? Personally, I believe that The Titanic was a better movie than the movie Romeo and Juliet. In case some of you haven’t seen either movie, I will summarize what both movies are about.

The movie Romeo and Juliet is based on the play written by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is about a young man and a young woman who fall in love. Some people might think that they have heard this all before, a man and a woman fall in love and they live happily ever after. But the thing is that Romeo and Juliet didn’t live happily ever after. Ever since they met, even since before they met, Romeo and Juliet were destined to have a bad relationship. Romeo’s family, the Montague household, was enemies with Juliet’s family, the Capulet household. No one really knows why the two households are enemies, but they are. So anyways, Romeo and Juliet meet at a party at Juliet’s house. Once they see each other, it is like love at first sight. Romeo comes over to Juliet and starts talking to her. They talk for a little bit and before you know it, they are making out. Romeo and Juliet decide that they are so in love that they want to get married. They hadn’t even known each other for a week. During the time they met and the time after they got married a lot of things happened. For example, Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, got killed by Tybalt, who was from the Capulet household. Then, since Tybalt had killed Mercutio, Romeo killed Tybalt. Later Juliet’s parents, Capulet and Lady Capulet, want Juliet to marry Paris. Paris is this guy who wants to marry Juliet. Juliet doesn’t want to marry Paris, so she tries to come up with plan so that she does not have to marry him. Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence, who says that he has a potion that she can drink and that will make it seem like she died. She drinks the potion and her family and almost everyone else believes that she is dead. Friar John was supposed to send a letter to Romeo telling him that no matter what he heard, Juliet was not really dead. But obviously, that did not happen and that is where the whole story goes bad. Since Romeo didn’t know that Juliet wasn’t really dead, he started freaking out and went to where Juliet’s “corpse” was. Before Romeo actually went to see Juliet’s “corpse”, he went to get some poison that would kill him. When he finally went to go see Juliet’s “corpse”, he started talking to her dead body and started crying. He did not notice that she started to move her body, so he drank the poison. Juliet woke up right after Romeo had already drunk the poison, so she was too late. So Romeo, who had drunk the poison, was dying right in front of Juliet. Juliet waits for Romeo to die completely, and then stabs herself with a dagger. In the end, both Romeo and Juliet end up dead for real.

The movie The Titanic is based on the real life sinking of the ship Titanic. The movie The Titanic is about, again, a young man falling in love with a young woman. The young man, Jack, was poor and won his tickets for the Titanic in a game. Jack and his best friend board the Titanic and hang out for a while. When Jack and his friends are outside talking, they see the young woman, Rose. Rose is almost the complete opposite of Jack. She is rich and rides first class on the Titanic. She was already engaged to someone else, but she didn’t like him. The only reason why she was going to marry him was because her mom wanted her to marry him because he was rich. Anyways, Jack and Rose meet and they seem to fall in love with each other, but Rose needed to stop talking to Jack because her mom didn’t want her to be talking to him. Later, Rose stops listening to her mom and keeps talking to Jack. They are in love and Rose’s fiancée gets jealous. While Jack and Rose are having fun, the Titanic crashes into an iceberg. The side of the ship gets hit, and that’s when everything starts going bad. The people on the ship had less than four hours until the ship would sink. The ship only had so many life boats, so they were letting women and children off first. Everything started to get hectic, and some people ended up getting shot by the workers from the Titanic. Over all, Jack and Rose stay together through everything and in the end, Jack freezes to death and Rose gets saved by one of the life boats that came back.
