Recently I put the movie Titanic on my TV in the background while I was doing some editing work, just out of curiosity because I hadn't watched it for about 20 years. I wasn't interested in seeing it again after that because I was bothered by the immorality glorified in the love story and the fact that there was so little faith portrayed (when obviously a lot of the people on the Titanic were Christians and there are numerous stories of them sacrificially helping others etc.).
So I had very low expectations for the movie this time and, as often happens in that case, it wasn't as bad as I remembered. That included the love story, which was still bad (especially the immorality), but I could identify with it somewhat because I have been in love for nine months now, which started basically from the moment we met. So I know that kind of thing can happen. The biggest difference between the movie's love story and mine is that our relationship includes God, and is in fact focused on Him, while of course the one between Jack and Rose is quite the opposite.
I did notice some nods to faith at the end of the movie, however, that I did not remember from before. I looked up the last song that the musicians started playing when they knew they were going to die and found out it was "Nearer My God to Thee." I also noticed that a man was praying, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death" from Psalm 23 (though Jack mocks him by telling him to walk faster). And then the film lingers for a while on a Catholic priest who first prays to Mary (which I wouldn't do in that situation) but then also quotes a long scripture passage to encourage faith in Christ among the dying (which I definitely would do if I was in that situation).
So even though none of the main characters exhibit any faith in God or concern about where they might go when they die, at least spiritual issues are represented to a small degree in the movie. But those issues are actually the biggest ones of all when people are facing certain death. "There are no atheists in foxholes," as the old saying goes, and therefore the most important stories from the Titanic are ones like that of Pastor John Harper, who spent his last moments praying for people and calling them to believe in Jesus so that they could be saved in the way that matters most. As one comment on the below video says, although Harper gave up his life jacket so someone else could survive, and gave his life for the Lord and others, he is now actually more alive than we are.
