One of the best movies ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2010)

In the 90's and 80's, director James Cameron was king of the world. Next to Steven Spielberg. He was a director that made groundbreaking motion pictures, like Spielberg. But did Spielberg make two of three of the top films ever made? No. Though Spielberg's films are a little better, Cameron's films are timeless.
Cameron, who directed films like Avatar, Terminator and T2, should be most proud of 1997's best picture winning Titanic. Though Avatar was visually astonishing, it was no Titanic. Both films are dramas, both a little romance, both epic. But really? Can you top a film like Titanic?
Titanic is one of the best films ever made. It truly is something beautiful. I know it's a little late to write a review about it but I have never appreciated it til now. I mean i'd always liked it but have never really loved it like I do now.
I'm sure we all know how the film goes. Cause everyone has seen it. A group of researchers are looking for a necklace call"The heart of the ocean". The person who has it is a 100 year old woman named Rose. While searching for the necklace, Rose tells the story of what happened to her while aboard "The Titanic".
What happened? Well, Rose, at once engaged to a jerk(played by Billy Zane), falls in love with a poor boy named Jack(played by Leonardo DiCaprio). The two of them experience tons of things, even risking their lives for each other. Until the terrible crash on the iceberg.
Titanic is a sweeping epic. It's beautiful, well acted, romantic, at first sad but now you'll probably get over it. The ending,for years, has made people angry. Eventually now we'll have to accept it. But that Rose is kind of a double crosser.
Kate Winslet is a terrific actress,don't get me wrong. But she didn't deserve the nomination over Leonardo Dicaprio. The Oscars have cheated him many times. He deserves something I think. Especially for Gilbert Grape.Someday, he will receive something.
The two actors had terrific chemistry together. That's why when they reunited for Revolutionary road,where instead of playing two lovers they play a couple that hates each other, I was surprised. I loved that movie too.
Why did IMDb give it a rating it the 7's? I don't get it. This movie is flawless. I know it's long. But it doesn't matter. My favorite film, Magnolia, is 3 hours long too but I don't care. All great films are long. The best ones are long. Hence, why Titanic is one of the greatest films ever made. If you haven't seen it, there's something wrong with you. Titanic sweeps you.
Titanic: 4/4
*Note* I have just seen Titanic 3-D and it is still the spectacular film it was then... but possibly even better.
