I am about as far from Titanic's target audience as someone could have been--a middle aged, macho, gun owning, hot rod driving, redneck conservative male. That said, when dragged to Titanic by my wife along with another couple, I, too, found myself taken by the story (and with Kate Winslet's strong performance and striking depiction of her character), but completely mesmerized by the soundtrack and Celine Dion's voice.
Ever since, I have been secretly listening to it. My wife is amused, and I have only come close to being caught once, at work, when someone picked up my Ipod and looked through it. I immediately cursed my wife for not knowing how to properly use the sync feature of I-tunes and accidentally downloading it onto my Ipod. The escape was narrow, but successful.
