It's time to gain some perspective

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2001)

I am amused by the rash of negative reviews lately. A few points...
1) The reason "Titanic" isn't selling like hot-cakes anymore is because everyone owns it!
2)After the first viewing of ANY movie, the experience cannot be as special because you know what's coming. Movies don't get lame with time, they just lose their luster and mystique.
3) Does it contain faults? Of course! Did it deserve multiple Oscars? Probably not. Is it horrible bilge? Absolutely not.
I honestly think some reviewers prefer to go against the crowd simply out of spite, rather than worthwhile objections.
The only gripe I had was the constant, stereotypical portrayals of the rich as evil, soulless jerks (except for Kathy Bates).
Otherwise, we have a beautifully shot tragic drama, without the obscene, graphic filth present in so many modern "films". That alone makes it a pleasurable experience for me.
