A brilliant masterpiece that brings the audience in

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2011)

There has been so many movies about the Titanic before but what makes this one stand so high above the rest is that it actually brings the audience in where it no longer feels like another fact based story that we all know about. It becomes much more than that. I can appreciate some peoples criticism over the movie being based on 2 fictional characters and that they feel it overshadowed the sinking of the great ship but in my opinion, that's why we, as an audience feel so overwhelmed. With these 2 characters we get to learn what it was like for the poor as well as the rich and many people lost their loved ones that night so really I feel that the ship was full of Rose and Jack's. I admit it really takes off when the ship hits the iceberg and it was great to follow these characters right until the ship sinks. James Cameron has done a brilliant job of bringing the audience in because you find yourself constantly asking "What if that was me?". I feel that this movie certainly does the ship and all those actual people on it justice. It's a tragic reminder of what they actually went through. Fantastic movie and I don't want to spoil this movie completely but you really need your tissues at the end.
