Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2011)

If there is one film that has the complete package and that could probably be appreciated by people from all walks of life,the 1997 movie,Titanic is it.No wonder it remains the highest-grossing film of all-time.
Titanic is an epic film written and directed as well as co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron.It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson, Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Billy Zane as Rose's fiancé,Cal Hockley.It also features Frances Fisher,Bill Paxton,Kathy Bates,Danny Nucci,Bernard Hill,Victor Garber and Gloria Stuart as the 100 year-old Rose.It is a fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic wherein its passengers,Jack and Rose are members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ship during its ill-fated maiden voyage.Writer-director James Cameron employed state-of-the-art digital special effects for this production and realized it on a monumental scale that made the movie the most expensive to produce and the most successful box office hit to date.
The story of Titanic involves American treasure-seeker Brock Lovett retrieving artifacts from the submerged ship. Lovett looks for diamonds but finds a drawing of a young woman, nude except for a necklace. When 100-year-old Rose reveals she's the person in the portrait, she is summoned to the wreckage site to tell her story of the 56-carat diamond necklace and her experiences of many years earlier. The scene then shifts to 1912 Southampton where passengers boarding the Titanic include penniless Jack Dawson and society girl Rose DeWitt Bukater, returning to Philadelphia with her wealthy fiancé Cal Hockley. After the April 10th launch, Rose develops a passionate interest in Jack, and Cal's reaction is vengeful. At midpoint in the film, the Titanic slides against the iceberg and water rushes into the front compartments. Even engulfed, Cal continues to pursue Jack and Rose as the massive liner begins its descent. After her story is complete,Rose goes alone to the stern of Lovett's ship and drops her jewelry known as Heart Of The Ocean into the sea.
The movie remains the greatest and most spectacular demonstration of what modern technology can contribute to dramatic storytelling.Aside from that,it is an extraordinary achievement in film making wherein technology astounds but better yet the human story shines even brighter.Credit the performances of the talented cast especially DiCaprio,Winslet and Stuart.The story also touches all themes that possesses a winning combination of a tale that both modern and old- fashioned. Added to that,credit also goes to James Horner for the film for it was full of beauty and magical."My Heart Will Go On",the movie's love theme that was composed by Horner and sung by Celine Dion,will always be memorable and treasured by viewers for many years to come.
Overall,there is nothing to dislike in Titanic for it is a winner not only in every aspect of film making attested by the 11 Academy Awards it has won but for the taste of viewers all over the world alike.
