remake

Rating: 1/10 (18 February 2008)

this movie is simply god awful.. this is exactly what is wrong with cinema, and many of the films that are recognized to be worthy of movie award consideration.. there is absolutely no subtlety whatsoever, and instead the viewer is pummeled by sappy dialogue, a pomposity of music.. and of course the carefully crafted yet oft used torrid love scene in a library as books collapse and the walls of passion come crumbling down.. there are very few original perspectives on a love story in this movie, instead we are subjected to keira knightly pouting her lips in the mirror in the beginning of the movie, calling on her wealth of acting experience from designer makeup ads..it's the same formula that seems to always garner attention from both the viewing public and the people that vote for awards.. a woman falls in love with a man of virtue from a different caste of society then her, feels guilty for doing so and therefore dismisses the man, then admits to her love and confirms at physically whilst being made love to against a bookcase, gets separated by a war, and living for the chance to see her man again and having more library sex... oh yeah and throw in the tragedy of keira knightly drifting to the bottom of the sea.. and you almost have the making of titanic part II.. once again the viewing public is duped into succumbing to the carefully crafted yet completely inauthentic Hollywood love story
