The difference between the two movies is that Titanic had way more movie time to where the speed of them falling in love works. The build up to cheat on her fiance who they gave no context of being a POS where there would be motivation to run to something better the way they did that in Titanic is missing and why it works in that movie. He was just a good dude off to war fighting for his country. It doesn't make sense. It needed more time other than sitting on basement stairs in a quick scene.
