What a shame, it is just a movie.

According to Blake, it was one of the top four grossing Hollywood films ever to be released in China. "Titanic" is the number one all time grossing Hollywood film ever to be featured in the country.

Ask yourself, why would a movie like this be a problem to anyone? I have not seen the movie yet but I have read the book several times.

What is the problem? can anyone enlighten me at all?
