Write about ANY movie based on a true story

The 1997 movie Titanic , captured the hearts and minds of a captive audience like no other move has been able to do before or since The actions of Rose and Jack burst forth in this movie and monopolize not only the screen time of the movie , but the attention of the audience . One woman , upon seeing Titanic in the theatre for the sixteenth time , said when asked why she continued to see the movie said I just feel moved at everything that happened .
