Showing Some Respect for Cameron's Titanic

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2005)

I have a lot of respect for this movie, and not because of the love story or the actors. The level of detail Cameron achieved is truly amazing: the opening sequence is footage of the actual wreck, and the ship was recreated true to the original plans (tho' scaled down, of course). Interiors are exactly how the real rooms looked in 1912.
The sinking sequence have the best special effects I've ever seen; so seamless that you unaware of them, you're just watching the ship break apart and go down.
There are only two historical mistakes in the script, minor things really. Have you spotted them? These days, it's considered "cool" to be cynical about this movie, but I consider it "cooler" to make up your own mind. Perhaps watching it again will convince you that Cameron did an amazing job not only for lovers of romance, but for anyone fascinated with the historical event itself.
