Titanic

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2013)

Movie review Titanic is in my opinion an amazing movie. It exposes the true definition of love. Leonardo DiCario fearlessly takes on the leading role as Jack Dawson and in the end sacrifices his life for the woman he falls in love with. Titanic captivates the audience using agape love to connect with the audience and exciting real life situations for the audience to relate to. This movie shows Loves greatest attributes. Those attributes being sacrifice, youth, beauty, humbleness, and endlessness. The beginning of the movie allows the audience to get to know and understand the characters that play significant parts in the movie. Jack and Rose are casted as the leading actors and do a tremendous job in delivering the directors message with their skills. Yet, there are a few other important people that play imperative parts as well. Victor Garber (who plays Thomas Andrew), acts as the captain of the ship. He brilliantly portrays himself to be a dedicated, hardworking man that is emotionally connected to his ship as it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. The director sets the movie up chronologically but reverts to everything as a flashback, which is creative genius. Bernardo Bertolucci is the director of the film and directs this movie in such a way that the world now has a romantic novelty that can be used to show what true love looks like between a man and a woman throughout history, as well as defining true artistic and creative ideas that will forever have an effect of the audience that watches it. Leonardo DiCario and Kate Winslet (who plays rose Dewitt Bukater) have so much chemistry on the screen. The way those two connect is as if they have been passionately in love before in a past life. The climax of the movie is without a doubt the sinking of ship. From the time the ship hits the iceberg, until the time Jack drifts off to sea, action overtakes the movie and real life thrill pops out of the screen. As far as the directing during these scenes, the angles in which the camera records are very effective and essential to the overall perception of the movie. The way the camera zooms in behind and around Rose and Jack as they do the balcony scene, allows the audience to experience that very moment as well and examine how Rose and Jack's bodies reacted to each other the moment he knew he had fallen in love with her. The ending of the movie is where the audience pushes to the edge of their seats and grabs their tissues and the arm of whomever they came with. After seeing Jack sacrifice his life for the one person in the world he found to love more than anything, brings tears to even the men who watch. This is one of the most heartfelt profound films I've ever seen. It's jam packed with emotion, love, experience, knowledge, wisdom, hope, and action. That is the reason this movie is still a phenomenal hit in 2013. The Titanic is truly cinematic genius and is in my opinion one of the top three Romance movies of our time.
