I read Evan Hunters novel The Last Spin. It`s a brief story of two men, playing russian roulette in some basement.

Danny and Tigo belonged to different clubs, and they did not had any bad blood between themselves. In fact they were strangers to each others, before this ” event”. Tigo wanted to go first because he wanted to get that thing over with. Eventually Tigo and Danny get to know each  other, during the game. And they find out that there is many things in common between these two. After two rounds Tigo added one extra bullet to the gun. The stakes were getting higher, as the game continued. It`s hard to say why these men hadn`t never met before. Ultimately they decide to add a one more extra bullet to the gun. Colloquial language was much used in this novel, and it really made it more realistic. The ending of this novel is very ironic, but somehow so predictable. After adding the third bullet to the gun, it was Tigos turn. 50% change to die,  really made these two men  to show their feelings and they become friends. ”Click”  Tigo was safe. Right afrter that click they promised each others that this would be the last round, and after this they would establish their own gansterclub. Finally it was time for the final spin and that spin went (surprisingly) to Danny. The cylinder stopped and Danny smiled to Tigo and ”Bang”, Danny shot his brains out. After the shot Danny`s head rested on the table and shocked  Tigo began to weep.

The novel was very sad and ironic, but I liked it. It really gave me something to think about.

Titanic is a romanticdrama movie directed and written by James Cameron. The movie is based on a truestory, but it`s been filled with many fictional things, but  it`s a fact that a ship Titanic really sank in 1912.

Plot summary: It`s year 1997 and a group of ”treasure hunters” are looking for very rare diamond necklace that lies insiside the wreck. They find a painting of a young  RoseDeWitt Bukater ( Played by Kate Winslet) from the place that the necklace should have been.  Old Rose comes to take a closer look of that painting. She is one of the lucky survivors of sinking of titanic. In this picture she has the diamond that the group is looking for. Old Rose starts to tell a story of what happened at that ship: She was a fine woman, with a rich fiancé and she had treatment like a queen her self. But inside she was screaming because she didn`t really loved her fiance Caledon. A young man named Jack Dawson (Played by Leonardo DiCaprio) had just few minutes before the departure won two tickets to titanic with his friend Fabrizio. Jack was modest, poor and handsome young man.

Rose was thinking of jumping of the deck and killing herself because she was  unhappy with her life. Then Jack appeared and saved her life. Caledon invites Jack to diner with the ” better people” . After the dinner Jack and Rose party secrately together. They start to spend time together, despite their class difference. Caledon sends servants to look for his bride. Jack and Rose escaped servants and hooked up with each other, just before the the ship hit an the iceberg.  There was an absolute chaos at Titanic, after the hit with iceberg. Not enough rescue boats to everyone. Rich were rescued first, Rose didn`t follow her mother and went looking for Jack that Caledon had been left to drown. Rose was successful in saving Jack from the shackles. They were finally together again and the boat started to lean and the snaped in half.

They hit the ice cold water, a lot of people drowned, they finally found each other then they swam to some large piece of wood, but unfortunately it couldn`t support both of them at the same time. Rose climed on it and Jack remained at cold water. Eventually Jack were too frozen to hold on any longer, then he had to let go. Before that they confessed love to ech other. Rose was saved by a rescue boat.

The story ended, It had touched all members of the ”treasure hunters”. They had to live with that fact that Caledon had took the diamond, before the ship sank. At night old Rose comes to the deck of treasure hunters boat and tought of that cruise with jack and suddenly takes the diamond drom her pocket and throws it to the water. She`d had that diamond necklace all along.

The soundtarck of this movie is composed by James horner. The soundtrack is beautiful ,very touching, and it has won 11 awards all over the wold and it´s one of the best selling albums ever wolrd wide. The most famous song of that album is ”My heart will go on” made famous by Celine Dion. I think that thats one of the best songs ever made.

Casting of this film is ”pure gold.”  Names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet really speak from them-selves…

Titanic has been a the and will be the blockbuster of lifetime. Even here in Finland it had over one million viewers. The movie  has established in it`s own genre and in every other genre an iconic reputation.

I would totally recommend this movie to anyone, specially to people who are fallen in love.
