Fantastic, poetic, titanic.

Rating: 10/10 (3 November 2000)

This movie is a movie with the capital M. Like "Gone With The Wind" places the love of two normal characters into the Story, involving us in one of the great disasters of all time. If the story (beautiful-rich-next-to-marry-rich-b****rd-girl meets young-handsome-pure-and-intelligent-guy)is already known, Cameron shows us how cinema can reconstruct the real world. Years of study on the original projects of the ship, a perfect research from the structure of the ship until the resemblance of the actors with the real persons (Bernard Hill and Victor Garber are the clearest examples), all is made by Cameron to take us on the "Titanic": we taste the beauty of the ship, the elegance of the rich people and the dreams of the poor ones. And then, we sink with the ship and its inhabitants. A perfect movie with a perfect cast and a perfect crew (never forget the James Horner's wonderful score or the fantastic art direction by Peter Lamont). Perfect, nothing else to say.
