Titanic is a Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet film about love and loss and you can see ample information about it below. It is available for a small fee on the web.

A good film example of the use of the virtue of Heroism is the Leo Dicaprio character in Titanic. In this film, the Magician personality character played by Dicaprio falls in love with a Queen character in Kate Winslet. They demonstrate a small degree of vice in the form of occasional antics on the ship which are bucking against cultural norms of the time between the upper and lower classes economically, with Dicaprio the poor boy and Winslet the wealthy girl. To some, this may seem Foolhardy, the vice of excess of Heroism, especially on Dicaprio's part. However, his boldness is an encouraging push to Winslet's character to get her out of her shell, and out of the twinge of Cowardice - the vice of deficit of Heroism - that she has as a Queen personality in standing up to the all but "arranged marriage" between her and a narcissistic man she doesn't love, played by Billy Zane. Zane's character actually displays the utmost vice of Cowardice in how he handles his fiancee taking up with the more Heroic Jack (Dicaprio.)

Heroism is taking constructive and mature action over the objection of a partner, family, friends, community or even society, to do right, to achieve a sublime goal, and win the day. The wonderful relationship ends when the hero, Dicaprio, sacrifices his life without the knowledge (and therefore over what would be an objection) by Winslet, to save her life, the last remaining survivor of the Titanic disaster, who lives to tell the secret tale of love and Heroism.
