Awesome - just one problem

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2007)

I only saw this film recently for the first time - and it is awesome. Leonardo DiCaprio is fantastic and totally believable, and some of the dialogue between Rose and Jack (particularly where they first meet) is hilarious, but so natural. Cal is deliciously evil, and the references to 'somebody Picasso' and Freud made me laugh. The one thing I disliked about it was the ending, where Rose and Jack are reunited. It would have been so much more powerful if it had been the same scene, but in an empty room ; the clapping of the rest of the cast doesn't seem to fit. Apart from that, this is an amazing film, beautifully filmed, and much as I dislike Celine Dion, the music is powerfully emotive.
