Their Hearts Will Go On 20 Photos Showing Kate And Leo Have An Unsinkable Friendship

The taglines for Titanic were grand and appropriate for the groundbreaking effect the film would have on the world! Two such taglines are, "Nothing on Earth could come between them" and "Collide with destiny." If you've seen Titanic more than three million times and can quote it by heart, you'll remember Old Rose refers to Titanic in her tales of life as "The ship of dreams." It goes without saying the appeal of Titanic reached epic proportions over the last twenty years, and for good reason; there's something for everyone in this love story.

The modern film adaptation of Titanic tells the story of a couple from two different economic classes at a time where class separation ruled. Jack Dawson, was a starving artist who lived his life according to the air in his lungs and his desire to travel. Rose Dewitt Bukator lived in the most opposite of worlds; she was the daughter of wealthy socialites from Philadelphia. When the two came together through fate and destiny on the sea, the hearts of filmgoers and hopeless romantics alike went on to explode in a Titanic-sized love of Jack and Rose!
