Inspiring

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2006)

This movie is amazing. I love History and I love love stories so this movie makes for my favorite movie of all time. The suspense in the film is amazing, the detail incredible and the story-line is outstanding. I connect so well with Rose, I can understand everything about her and why she does everything. I can imagine me being Rose. I don't connect so well with Jack as a character, though that is probably because 1) Rose is the one telling the story and 2) Jack is a male and I am female. Kate Winslet is an awesome actress in this movie. She shows Rose so well and I can see the hopeful but clouded and misled young girl who is trapped into being a graceful, perfect woman so well. The depth of love between Jack and Rose is inspiring. This film reminds me a bit of Romeo and Juliet, where the two meet and quickly fall in love. I also love the way that James Cameron weaved so many facts about the event into the film. It would of been easy to turn this into a big, over-dramatic story where Jack becomes a hero and saves everyone on board by swimming the ship on his shoulders, or the ship explodes into a thousand pieces because of a wiring problem and everyone has to live on the ice-bergs or well, you get my drift. The point is that it doesn't. It sticks to the facts so well and I can imagine this story happening on Titanic. I can see this being a real story. And don't even get me started on the special effects. The attention to detail everywhere is enchanting. The way that the ship crumbles next to the ice-berg and how the water bursts into the compartment suddenly leaves you gasping.
