Didn't see it in the theater :(

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2000)

If you think you're a film buff but you're really film-illiterate, you will hate Titanic.
I avoided seeing this "movie" in the theater because the studio played it up as a sappy love story.
WHY OH WHY DID THEY PLAY IT UP LIKE THAT?!!?
It didn't matter that James Cameron, who is a genius, directed it. I HATE love stories and I still haven't seen The English Patient.
Titanic (which, by the way, is not a "love story" as it was portrayed in promotional materials) reveals itself to be much more than just the surface subject matter that is written and portrayed. Many people who have commented on it already have mentioned why, so I will not try to explain why Titanic is one of the best films made, which would require a novel-length volume of words.
