Titanic: The best film ever made

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 1998)

In no doubt, Titanic from 1997 is the best film I've ever seen, and will probably remain so for a long while. James Cameron has always been one of my favourite directors, and this time, he's made his finest work so far. Hopefully, there's more to come of these top class Cameron films. One day in the end of April 1998 I went into the cinema to see Titanic, and I had waited for months to see it. I thought it would be a really great film, I had great expectations because almost everyone who had seen it said I was so good, and it was a thousand times better than I thought. It's an amazing story about the rich first-class girl Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) who falls in love with the third-class passenger Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), who won his ticket with a lucky hand of poker, and together they experience the kind of love we all want to have, but seldom find. I've never actually appreciated love stories on film, but this film changed my opinion about what really makes a good movie. It's not just cool action scenes, but also romantic love stories. And Titanic has both of them, the best parts of two totally different worlds of filmmaking, combining the best special effects ever and a great love story. This movie has everything, great script, direction, acting, music (James Horner is the best music composer of all time) and a lot of other things. The movie is so perfect, there's almost nothing I've noticed which is wrong. Of course there are things that don't match the real happenings, such as the flashlights from the lifeboat, which never were there in reality. But it's not a documentary, it is a film, and everything does not have to be absolutely correct to make it a good film. James Cameron is the best!
