Titanic Article: My feelings about Titanic

I was actually going to write these in "Wall" section because it might be spam (it's mostly about my personal feelings and experiences.) But there was a character limitation. So I had to write as it is an article. I'm sorry for the inconvenience...

I watched Titanic in 3D two days ago. I can't say I'm a big fan of the 3D thing for this movie. But the movie itself is wonderful and that's the point. Watching Titanic again in theatre is definitely priceless! I'd go and watch it again, if it were to be released 10 years later...
My problem is, I'm thinking of Jack since I watched it two days ago. And I can't think of any other! Even I've watched it a thousand times and I memorised every little detail of the movie, it still makes me cry! And so it did! I cried during the whole movie...
I love Jack so much, even though I know he's only a fictional character. I had a dream of Jack last night; I was pulling him out and saving him. Am I so childish or stupid?
I felt worse when I watched Titanic for the first time, 15 years ago. I was 10 years old and it made a very big impact on me! I couldn't think of any other thing. And I cried every night for Jack. My life was ruined for months! It wasn't a movie for me, it was my life! I hoped an alternate ending for Jack, which he could survive and spend his life with Rose, having "lots of babies". That was my only wish! Jack was in my dreams, Jack was in my tears, Jack was everywhere! The scene making me cry and so sorrowful was when Rose realizes Jack's dead, and before letting him go to the ocean, she continues saying "There's a boat Jack." even she knew he is dead! That scene touched my heart so deeply that I felt like there was a knife in the middle of my heart! I prayed to God every night to let him get out of that ocean! But it didn't (and wouldn't!) happen. I wished to go there by a helicopter, save him and make him warmer by blankets, and take Rose and Jack where they wanted to live. They would live there togehter, without Cal, without Ruth, without any other bad people. Each time I watched it, I had a great feeling, happiness and energy at the begining. Then lost it begining from the second half, knowing that there won't be a happy ending.
And now, 15 years later I'm experiencing this great movie again in the theatre. My feelings didn't change. I feel the same pain in my heart. But I'm more mature. (or willing to be more mature.) Maybe I should do something else to be free of this bad feeling. And I know that if Jack hadn't died, Titanic wouldn't be the greatest movie in the world.

I just wanted to share with people who have similar feelings. Do you also think like me?
Note: I'm amateur, so this might be a spam text. If it is spam, please let me know. So I can delete.
Thank you.

SaryB Wow, you really felt the movie! The first time I saw Titanic I was also 10 years old and I used to think very often about the movie too. I wished Jack and Rose wouldnt be there, or they would get a boat and run away far from all bad rich people. I also used to go to the stationery store near home everyday after school to look for Titanic and Leo's posters even though I couldnt buy them all I bought at leat 1 per week. A couple of years later I stop thinking about Titanic that much. But I never missed the movie on TV even I had it in VHS. Until now I am still a Titanic fan but I must confess I didnt like Titanic 3D. I love the movie, there is no doubdt, but the only thing I watched in 3D were the subtitles or that's what the 3D screen of the cinema in my city allowed me see. Let me know if you could see more than subtitles in 3D. PS. Never loose those feelings about Titanic ;)

leoandkatefan Thank you very much for reading and commenting. I didn't like the 3D vision neither. I mean it was ok. I have no problem when watching it. But It was nothing different. only subtitles seemed like 3D. But I like the movie anyway. It's the greatest movie ever :)
