im the girl with the story and i have never seen the movie titanic is my book following what happens in it or something because I dont want it to do that and i have never seen the movie
in the movie, a girl named rose meets a boy by the name of jack. over the 3-or-so days before the crash, they fall madly in love. when the iceberg hits and women and children are supposed to go into lifeboats, rose leaves and risks her life to go rescue jack, who is locked up downstairs(long story) the two end up making it, but not in a lifeboat. rose floats on a painting while jack bobs in the water holding onto it. basically he freezes and dies, so only rose survives. she lives, and later on(present day) she helps historians and dies peacefully. oh, and theres this whole thing about a wicked exspensive jewel that rose had all along. but thats irrelevant.
anyway, your story isnt too similar; i'd say the only similar thing is they fell in love, etc. but rose comes to peace with jacks death, thus joining the two. so if you wrote about a blissful life from the getgo, the reader would be bored because its so close to the movie. this is why i would suggest some unexpected things in your book to keep the reader on the toes the whole way through, cover to cover.
