A few people owe Cameron a lot...

Rating: Null/10 (26 February 1999)

The movie was, as everyone knows, a huge success and a beautiful love story. But as I watched the Grammys the other night, I realized exactly what James Cameron gave to those involved with his "project from the heart." Look at what the film did to Leonardo DiCaprio's career! (I know you weren't paying any attention to him when he was on that Kirk Cameron show) Kate Winslet's name no longer goes unrecognized. Gloria Stewart's age old days in Hollywood were revived and probably the most well-known soundtrack in the history of film was created. Now James Horner has a Grammy to add to his collection of Golden Globes and Oscars for the beautiful music he created that moved us to tears. Granted, Celine Dion wasn't doin' too terrible before her heart went on, but now she's polishing and putting up the multiple awards she's won for singing the (I know, overplayed) theme song we will never get out of our heads. As for others in the film, Bill Paxton and his earring will always be remembered - it replaced those visions of flying cows we had in our heads. And instead of a question mark, we view Billy Zane as "the mean guy who tried to shoot Leo!" Cameron braved "cold waters" to get that movie made and I'm sure glad he did. It amazes me that here, in February 1999, over a year since the movie was released, they're still giving it awards. Cameron may have said the wrong words on Oscar night, but he did a "bang up" job on what has been called one of the greatest movies of all time. He not only gained access to do what ever movie he wants in the future, but he gained a girlfriend too!!!
