One small step for a moviemaker, a gaint step for the Moviekind.

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2003)

A kid who was a loner and strived on doing things different and better, grew up to be an A-Director and in Hollywood, that is a great achievement just to be in that league, the man is James Cameron and the movie is Titanic.From the Screenplay to the the ultimate Audio dubbing at the Lucas's Skywalker technology park-Cameron's genius clearly shines. If there was another person who can share the credit would be James Horner. The music comes alive with the sea parting for the ocean liner. The initial departing scene in Southhamton and the the working of the engines with the sound of the pistons going fullboard "Let us strech our legs Mr. Murdoch" is just awesome scenes to reckon with. The sea is alive with the sound of Titanic. The scene with Rose shivering on the plank of wood is probably the weakest part of Cameron's directorial brilliance. The scene is short and plastic. Gloria Stuart as the surviving "Rose" reminds me of Katherine Hepburn in her sincere portrayal.
Like "Ben-Hur", this is a movie that will be remembered as long as the relic of Titanic remains in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
