This film thinks of "Titanic" four years later

Two young people with dreams of belonging to different social classes-one is the spoiled daughter of a rich family (Nicole Kidman) and the other is a humble but aspiring golden boy (Tom Cruise) who travels across oceans in pursuit of their dreams The plot made me vaguely think of "Titanic", which was released 4 years later, which swept the global box office. From the plot point of view, the former story is richer, the fate of the characters is more tortuous, and the historical background is more profound, but obviously the disadvantages in investment, production, and publicity make it impossible to be as successful as the latter.
