review of 3D version of titanic

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2012)

There's a place to live and a place to die.....
And there's hardly a more luxurious place to live than the Titanic circa 1912.....
And there's hardly a more famous and prestigious place to die to like her.....for her sinking is going to make headlines across the world......
So why not live and die on the Titanic....
For those who don't die there---remember the trenches of the first world war are waiting just 2 years since the sinking of the Titanic.....
Trenches giving death in the and mud and the muck.....
So I don't envy Jack Dawson.....
Yeah ,the same Jack Dawson who wins a ' lucky ' ticket to board the unlucky Titanic in a game of poker.....
At least he gets to sail on the high ocean.....
Ahh , the ocean and the sea.....
The roll of the waves and the sounds of the seagulls and the cool breeze and the surf.....
But thats not all he gets.....
He gets to stand on the bow of the most expensive ship in the world and shout '' I am the king of the world '' with his arms outstretched......
And he gets to save the life of a supremely beautiful girl.....
......Which leads to dinner invitation to one of the most luxuriously appointed restaurants in the world in company of high society......
But is that all.....??
No , there's more good luck in store for you if you are Jack Dawson aboard the ' unsinkable ' Titanic.....good luck before the bad luck of dying.....
Yes.....for the girl you save needs saving in a lot of other departments as well.....
......And she turns to who else but Jack Dawson to save her in every way possible.....
But above all she turns to him for love.....
.....A love she has not got from her rich but cold and cruel fiancé.....
....A love which Jack Dawson can give her in bountiful amounts.....
So he gets to stand again on the bow of the most superb ship in the world with a most amazingly beautiful girl and stretch her lovely arms and his own and feel the cool ocean breeze rush against his face..... And lo !! The beautiful girl turns her face and kisses him deeply on his lips while they are still on the bow of the ship with arms outstretched- --one of the most romantic moments ever filmed on celluloid.....
But it doesn't finish there for the lucky Dawson....
The girl takes him to her room and poses for a nude portrait while Dawson tries to paint her naked body with trembling hands.....
And then the inevitable happens.....the two yearning bodies meet for making sweat soaked love.....
Does it really matter that the girls fiancé takes terrible revenge by getting Dawson arrested ??......For the beautiful girl never leaves him even though the Titanic starts sinking after hitting an iceberg.....and she gets him free.....
Yes free to meet their fate together as the ship goes to the bottom of the sea....
But only one of them is going to make it alive.....
The chivalrous Dawson makes sure that his girl is that one.....
But he's more than that---He's large hearted too....
And how so ? Well , before he dies he makes her promise that she wont let his death deter her ; that she should live life to the full and make babies---babies he knows she will make with other men.....
And his reward for that---She goes on to live life like he told her preserving his memory and adding his surname to her name....She becomes Rose Dawson.....
And for that fact alone , I wouldn't mind changing my place with Dawson's even though I might go down with the sinking Titanic.....
But if I cant do that , at least I don't mind seeing the movie again after 14 years....
And I don't mind the fact that the 3D effects are not good and hardly make an impression.....
For the photography just like last time , was great , the sets were amazing , the special effects were scintillating , the music was heart stopping and the acting by all actors was just special.....
What else do you need.....
Oh need.....I still feel the need to change places with Leonardo Di Caprio and make love to Kate Winslet after painting her nude while her fiancé Billy Zane boils in anger.....But thats not gonna happen is it.....
So I will satisfy myself with the thought that I got the chance to see the movie again on big screen in the name of seeing it in 3D.....
I sincerely hope that one day a 4D version comes so that I can see it on silver screen again.....
Verdict---do I even need to say.....
