Perfect blending of art and visual sensation

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2018)

Poor dialogue, one-dimensional character, predictable plot, Titanic looked weak in its screenplay. Thanks to James Cameron, Titanic deliver the most stunning achievement of blending the art with visual sensation!
"You jump I jump", "Make each day counts", "Jake!""Rose!", The cheesy dialogue somehow, were wonderfully delivered by its two leading actor and actress -Leonardo and Kate. They turned the awful dialogue into one of the most iconic line. Their chemistry in the movie is flawless despite the shortcomings of story. The passionate performance by this pair of star, make the entire romantic plot convincing and memorable. Both stars are just perfect for being an iconic couple. The way they brought themselves into the character was so engaging for audience and make us emotionally invested into them and their romance.
When Cameron decided to use full scale of model of titanic for sinking sequence, it's already half way to its visual success. The sinking sequence was one of the most thrilling experience in cinematic history. You're not watching the sinking, Cameron takes you there! The fall of funnel, dome implosion, people sliding off the floor, splitting of titanic...all are meticulously crafted and edited in such a way that you are almost think that that is the actual real-time disaster. It's nearly impossible to execute the idea of making the sinking be so real and the sinking carried no notable plot, all they need to do is to make the sequence of terrifying and they did it! The intensity of the sinking, amplifying the epic love of Jake and Rose. The sinking played as an ultimate villain for their romance.
The romance of Jack and Rose is magical surreal while the sinking of titanic is realistically represented. Both visual style and tone signifying the tension of plot, and they crafted in complementary style.
And last, the death of Jack is the ultimate representation of the lost of 1500 souls on that ship. It was the Loss moment that whatever kind of disaster should ended with - The loss of loved ones. Through the tragic end of Jack, the modern time scene highlight that, it is the moment of melancholy. When the old rose , played by Staurt, emotionally told the story, nothing could go more melancholic. Titanic, proved that the sadness and melancholy are a perfect match of epic. That ending, remind all of us, what we lost in the past, will become a source of melancholy in future.
Music and scores was the main driver for emotional feeling. James Horner masterpiece style of scores and song, "My Heart will Go on", sang by Celine. The lyrics and scores are so effective to the point that the music help you the understand the implicit detail of their romance and brought into the character inner world. The song has run for 2 decades and more will come. It's so trangenerational appealing.
Titanic suffered huge backlash especially among fan boys after its unprecedented success. The backlash is understandable but stupid. For boys, they love to dismiss romance, just like how oscar dismiss superhero genre.
The greatness of Titanic shall be upheld. It;s an classic example of successful and deluxe style of filmmaking. For those who claim the story is weak, kindly read storybook or novel. Titanic is a film in which visual comprised its load of greatness. Titanic provided one of the kind experience that too rare to be seen in theater, and unexpectedly, it was built upon a very weak screenplay/story.
