Humorous yet typical!!!

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 1999)

First and foremost, before anyone makes an opinion, I am not a teenage girl in love with Leo, I am actually a 27 year old guy that loves Titanic. When I say I love it, I don't just mean the movie, I mean the ship. I have been an avid Titanic historian since I was in the 7th grade where I did my first report, or at least that is what I called it back then....
But now on to why I wanted to post this, here lately I have read nothing but bad press on "Titanic" and a lot of people say it is because people want the new "Star Wars" to beat "Titanic" in grossing. Well to the people that are asleep in the back row of the audience, "WAKE UP!" it is inevitable for this to happen. But is "Titanic" and "Star Wars" just about money or maybe are there two terrific movies involved in this. I am here to say in my opinion, it has nothing to do with "Star Wars" but it has to do with the following....
The people that are giving bad press, if you look close, are the ones that have seen it way after it's first release. It is inevitable for the movie to fail in their eyes because the hype that has followed this movie can "NEVER" be met by any movie that you watch. I was one of the fortunate ones that my wife dragged me to the theatre on opening night and I have to say, Titanic was the best movie I have seen in a long, long time. I can say that because I didn't have any hype of the movie going into it, no promises of grandeur or of excellence, just a plain movie and my eyes to judge for myself. I can sit and watch the infamous "Godfather" a dozen times and let me tell ya, I can pick that movie apart just the like the average Joe sitting next to me.
Titanic is a great movie and for those of you that believe it is so far from fact that it isn't funny, I hate to tell you but of all the movies made about the infamous ship, this is the closest so far and that includes "A Night To Remember." Now please don't get me wrong, I loved "A Night To Remember" but if I am not mistaken, the facts in the movie swerve off quite a bit when it comes to the actual sinking.
Now for my last entry, people say "My God, the acting was terrible!!!" Remember this, if I am not mistaken, the actors/actresses that that were in the movie, beat out a lot of stiff competition for their parts. This all goes in the hype and picking the movie to pieces category in my opintion and I agree, Kathy Bates is in a league of her own, enough said on that.
One last thing to ponder on, how many movies that you know of, that is a historical fact, has caught the hearts and mind of the public the way that "Titanic" did?? If I am not mistaken, there has never been a "Deathstar" or a "Wookie" discovered in this world at the present time.
Thank you and God Bless!!!!
