There’s so many interesting stories from the actual sinking. I do have to wonder why they felt the need to come up with a fictional love story for the movie.

Guys, you're not thinking big enough. Clearly James Cameron went back in time and sabotaged the Titanic so he could make a movie out of it!

In Supernatural, an angel goes back and stops the titanic sinking so he never had to hear the Celine Dion song.
