Titanic
They played Titanic on TV for the past two nights. The whole resurrection of the 'unsinkable ship' on its maiden voyage. Movie magic marvels me at times. Watching it again after so long. But this time around the whole experience was markedly different.
At 17 when I watched it at the movies, I just marvelled in awe at the sheer magnificence of the ship. At the distinct segregation of classes. And the tragedy that befell them all. The love affair between Rose and Jack was merely a sideline.
Yet last night, it was that very romance that tugged at my heart.
The parting look on the lovers' faces. So much love. So much tenderness. The sacrifices. The stupidity. All in the name of love. I finally understood how they must have felt that fateful night. The sheer terror of losing the love of your life.
Funny how your life experiences transform you. This was no longer a young girl reliving the tragedy of that fateful ship. But a young woman in awe of the wonders of true love.
