Wish this film would sink

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2018)

Exploitation is the apporopriate description.Taking the worst tropes of exploitation cinema, a genre which has a lot of merits, James Cameron bolted on a sub standard Mills and Boon romance and made it the central story. There are good performances, just not by the leads. Kate Winslett is wooden, which is supposed to represent uptight. Dialogue is anachronistic for the period suited for 1997 and not 1912. With the lavish budget and long production time Titanic could have been an excellent study of class, society and prejudice. All of that is lost in favor of presenting a teenage love story. The last scene was also egregious. A Night To Remember is a superior film.
