Amazing! Definitely Underrated!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2005)

For me, time is valuable and to take time to watch a movie is a big thing. Yet with TITANIC, I would watch it everyday if I could and I would not get tired of it. People protest at its two-day love story, and say that "Captain Smith was a man who, realizing his mistake of ignoring the ice-berg warning,personally took on the responsibility of checking the damages himself." That is true, and though I love the movie, I do wish that they had shown that.
Leonardo DiCaprio (THE AVIATOR, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GILBERT GRAPE?),deserved a Oscar nomination for his endearing portrayal of the live-for-the-moment young man named Jack Dawson.Kate Winslet (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND,FINDING NEVERLAND),was the up and coming actress who was chosen for the part of Rose Dewitt Bukater. Her brilliant performance earned a Best Actress nomination, though it deserved the actual Oscar.
The second part of the movie,(Spoiler Warning), in of which R.M.S. Titanic sinks,is touching, well done, mainly accurate, and very sad. Not only do you cry when the now beloved Jack dies, but also when Rose(Gloria Stuart), 84 years later, dies after telling her story for the first time. Victor Garber,Frances Fisher,Kathy Bates and Billy Zane add notable performances in this epic love story and tragedy.
