Rose DeWitt Bukater played by Kate Winslet
Rose is the film's beautiful rich girl who suffers from a problem similar to that of Romeo and Juliet's. Her mother wants her to marry one man, Caledon, and she wants to love another, Jack. Rose feels alive with Jack as she never truly had to take risks for herself considering the sheltered life she has led. Rose falls for Jack and he commits himself to her. When the Titantic begins to sink and Jack is no where to be found she goes back for him amidst the rising water everywhere. Rose does turn down a few lifeboats to the dismay of her family and ultimately ends up without one just like Jack. She then enjoys a "comfy" wooden door to float on while Jack freezes to death promising his love to her in the water.
Jack Dawson played by Leonardo DiCaprio
Jack is the film's poor guy who wins a ticket for the maiden voyage of the Titanic. He doesen't quite fit in on the ship though as everyone is rich and stuck up and Jack is just a country boy. Jack first meets Rose when she is contemplating becoming suicidal and jumping into the ocean. Jack states that if she jumps he would have to go after her and it would be the coldness of the water and not the impact of the fall that would worry him most. Jack is an artist and he gets to explore Rose's body through art before finally exploring it in person...(yeah...)Jack's love for Rose gets him arrested and chained on false charges of theft. Rose comes back to save him and suceeds in doing so. But when the ship goes down jack insistes that she stay on the door and he in the water. Rose doesnt understand that by doing so he is giving his life for her. He promises he will love her forever and the SHE is going to move on (he never mentions himself). She doesnt realize something is amiss untill she shakes him and realizes he isn't breathing.
Caledon 'Cal' Hockley played by Billy Zane
Caledon is the film's stuck up guy that becomes a bad guy when Jack and Rose meet. Caledon tries to work Rose's mother so that Rose can be pushed into marrying him.(Roses family is losing wealth and even though cal is 13 years older than rose, Ruth sees no other option) When Cal discovers that Rose has been spending time with Jack he's furious and has Jack arrested on some fake charges of theft. At the movie's end Jack turns down a lifeboat at first so that he can go back and search for Rose who refused a lifeboat to search for Jack. Running through the ship shooting his pistol at Jack and Rose, Cal tries to get his revenge. When Cal can't buy his way onto another lifeboat, he steals a child and uses sympathy for the child to get to a lifeboat (he later abandons the child to die).
Spicer Lovejoy played by David Warner
Lovejoy is Caledon's enforcer. When Caledon has a problem with Jack Mr Lovejoy plants evidence of Jack committing a crime and then chains him up . When the Titantic begins to sink Lovejoy leaves Jack to die (that made me really mad). Lovejoy is one of the few passengers in the movie that has a weopon.(oh and the pistol cal uses belongs to him)
Captain Edward J. Smith played by Bernard Hill
This is the captain of the Titanic. He tries to travel at a steady pace. But he is outruled by others that would prefer publicity over safety. When he is told his ship will sink, he slowly makes preparations to evacuate fewer than half the people onboard (not enough life boats for everyone) He himself waits at the wheel until he is overcome by water. This captain actually did go down with his ship gracefully in the film at least.
Thomas Andrews played by Victor Garber
Thomas is the head engineer that helped design the Titantic ship for the Whitestarline. He has absolute confidence in his ship's seaworthiness but is troubled that the Titanic only carries a fraction of the lifeboats that he orginally planned it to. When the ship hits a giant iceberg, Thomas does the math and determines the Titanic will "flounder" This was quite hard for him to admit as he thought he had built a ship that god himself could not sink.
Brock Lovett played by Bill Paxton
Brock is an excavator. His mission is to reclaim wreckage from the sunk Titantic ship including the Heart of the Ocean a necklace more valuable than the hope diamond. He finds Rose's story interesting but seeks data to help him accomplish his objectives more than anything else.
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown played by Kathy Bates
Molly Brown is a woman who speaks her mind, she cares not what others think. She helps Jack Dawson find appropriate dress clothes for a dance on the ship and seems to be one of the few onboard the Titantic that values kindness over money. On a rowboat she pleas for the boat to go back and try to rescue the people who are dying in the cold waters of the ocean. The boat would have been swamped if they had she was told. Still she can't help but exclaim to the other women that its their men out there that are dying.
Lizzy Calvert played by Suzy Amis
Lizzy is the grandaughter of Rose Calvert from the movie. She believes the Heart of the Ocean is an artifact that needs to be preserved. She finds her grandmother's story about the Titantic sinking very interesting as it is told to her.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater played by Frances Fisher
This is Rose's mother. She is a "prim and proper" lady and believes that she must personally see to it that her daughter marries into another family of prestige and wealth. She thinks that Caledon Hockley would make a good future husband for Rose. She hears Roses pleads that it isnt fair for she doesnt love Cal. Her mother replied "of course it isnt fair were women our decisions are never easy". Ruth despises Jack as he was to her "an insect, a dangerous insect that must be squashed quickly", she could see Rose was falling for this poor country boy.
Rose Dawson Calvert played by Gloria Stuart
This is the elderly Rose that is telling the story of the Titanic to a group of excavators. The excavator's bring her in to try to find out additional info to help them locate the valuable Heart of the Ocean necklace that they believe went down with the Titanic. Rose won't tell them much about the necklace, but at the movie's end she reveals she had kept it all those years since the Titanic sunk. Then like a fool she tosses the necklace in the ocean and later lays down to sleep and dies.
