I really enjoyed that movie Titanic growing up, i didnt even know it was a true story.
Yup, its probably the best romance-disaster film in existence. I still cry when I see it.
Imagine if he had gotten on a boat! he might still be alive today
I mean its still a fictionalized account so I don't think his character existed in real life. Or did he?
wait, what are you saying? it didnt really happen? 
It did, Cameron shot footage of the actual "Titanic" wreck. What I meant to say is that I don't know if DiCaprio's character existed in reality
oh, well i think thats something i need to look into then.
Agreed, it might have simply been a reconstruction of the actual events "Titanic" or it may have been just a way of telling the story.
