What a waist of Oscars

Rating: 3/10 (12 April 2005)

Warning: this comment contains a spoiler at the end ! I've seen the movie at the theaters, and I have to admit, on a big screen is has some impact on the viewer. But that 's only because of the special effects. The story itself has no added value. How is it possible that this movie was the big winner in 1998 ?! If you compare Titanic with L.A. Confidential it is impossible to understand how Titanic did beat L.A. C. The characters in Titanic are no more than cart board figures, the plot is nowhere surprising, the acting of Leonardo is really acting (and that is not mend positive). And now the spoiler: it is impossible for a human person to stay alive for such a long time in ice water as Leonardo did, but it is also very hard to believe that Kate survived in the Arctic night with all the wet clothing. The people that survived the disaster in reality where the passengers who succeeded in getting into the lifeboats without hitting the water first.
