I think this movie shouldn't have been about love, in the sense of romance, but unfortunately it was. I mean, I get that maybe they were going for 'making it personal' and showing personal stories and personal loss to focus the disaster in the background, but I'm not sure a plot lifted straight from Romeo and Juliet was the right way to go about that? With the forbidden love and the diamond and the evil suitor and the class conflict, and all of that. It doesn't exactly say our focal pair were ordinary, that they were normal people like everyone else on the ship who lost their lives. It focuses the story on their personal drama, not on the grand tragedy of the disaster on the ship. Which in turn has the effect of rendering the background tragedy as ... background.

They basically smushed two separate stories together, the tragedy of the Titanic on one hand and the tragedy of forbidden love on the other, and it sort of cheapens both?

I think if it focused solely on the class conflict, or some other theme that was actually closely tied to the Titanic tragedy IRL (because the lowest classes and the highest classes were put in close quarters on that trip...plus, the third-class passengers died in far greater proportion than the first-class), it would have worked. But the whole thing with the diamond and the crazy ex...yeah.
