A well made movie of Titanic proportions.

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2001)

The leading actor in this movie is indeed, T.S.S."Titanic". The passengers and crew are in supporting roles throughout. What is the plot? The plot has been doing the rounds of Hollywood for years. Namely boy, Leonado DiCaprio, meets girl, Kate Winslet. The girl is traveling first class with the haves. The boy from the other side of the tracks, is traveling in steerage class, with the have-nots. Their relationship developes when the boy coaxes her not to end her wealthy and luxurious lifestyle by taking a dive over liner's stern into the Atlantic. She is invited to the steerage class by DiCaprio for a rave-up. They wind up in the cargo hold; and the rear seat of a automobile. What happens next between them is inevitable. So, what's new? What happened between them had to happen before the iceberg butted in and upset everything for them and the rest of the passengers and crew. Special effects? Brilliant! They could not have been bettered. Director James Cameron poured all he had into this movie and it came up trumps. He richly deserves the plaudits. But as the great Billy Wilder stated. Without special effects, some present-day film makers would be unable to hack it.
