Couldn't Have Been Better:

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2010)

I'm just a fifteen year old with a large amount of study behind myself. I saw this movie at first when my dad purchased it in 1998 when I was three. When I grew up a little, I thought the acting was brilliant throughout. I was completely mesmerized by the film. When I was old enough to understand the movie and history behind Titanic, I took advantage of the opportunity to study it. I learned the true facts and I cannot get enough. The event has been the focus of study time outside of school for about seven years. This movie inspired me to go out and study the ship and time period in history... Yes it's a romantic tragedy, and Leonardo Dicaprio is quite attractive and Kate Winslet is so gorgeous, I'm jealous! But I don't think that they were the main part... Titanic, the disaster was the true focus in this film. If Cameron were to create a documentary, how many movie goers would he get to see Titanic? Not many... So throw in a heart-wrenching romance for crying out loud! It's Hollywood, everyone knows it won't be COMPLETELY factual, they're going to try to get as many movie goers as possible. The movie was so greatly recognized because its a perfect ratio of occasional humor, tension, thrilling race of survival, and the kind of love that everyone dreams of having (that ends in this life with Jack, but continues in Roses heart forever). On that note of love continuing forever in a person's heart, "My Heart Will Go On" is my number one favorite song ever. Celine has got the most wonderful voice I've ever heard and she was definitely right for the theme song of the most moving movie of all time. I live in a town that isn't too diverse, besides money. Here, you're wealthy or poor. Not too many in between... and the 1st and 3rd class attitudes toward each other don't differ much from in the movie and in my hometown. The part of Titanic that gets me besides the facts/history is courage in the face of danger (as said on the cover of most copies of Titanic). The bow scene when Rose lets herself go into Jack and "soars into a night without fear" (on the script) shows how quickly passengers and crew were taken by surprise, as they feared nothing on the most glorious ship in the world. The disaster of Titanic is something I view as a sign to not get too comfortable, to never challenge nature; Titanic justifies just this. Hitting back on the movie itself, Titanic couldn't have been better. Casting was amazing, effects were brilliant beyond belief, and the story is a winner. Honestly, if this movie weren't made, I would of recognized the study of Titanic as my first love; but it wouldn't have been stunted as quickly as it was after seeing the film. -Brilliant acting. -Great casting. -Amazing effects. -Tragedy/Romance. -A little history. What more could you ask for in a movie? Good job Cameron, couldn't have been done better.
