A Modern Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2000)

In James Cameron's finest film to date, he writes and directs a period piece worthy of its name, and a solemn homage to those who passed on that fateful night in 1912. The labour of love's only due comparison is to Hollywood's yesteryear classics such as "Gone With The Wind."
With a commentary on social classes and the trappings of the Victorians, Cameron goes beyond his norm -- and excells!!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet charge the screen as Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukateer, respectfully. A strong supporting cast including "The Invisible Man"s Gloria Stuart, who carries the film in flashback, brillantly.
If you're one of the very few people who haven't seen it yet, be aware that you are missing one of Hollywood's finest films. The combination of awestriking special effects and corsetted costume drama mix only too well.
