A Timeless Classic

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 1999)

You'd think that with all the movies out there about the Titanic, the last thing the world needed was yet another version. WRONG!!!
This movie was not only wonderful in its re-creation of the ship and its passengers, but the Anthony and Cleopatra love story between Jack and Rose was heartbreaking. How many of us can say we've had that ONE love that shook us to the core; that one love that we carry in our heart for the rest of our life. Not me. Not yet!
So, let's get into this story. Rich girl meets poor boy, and yet, they manage through all the tragedy that surrounds this ship, to hold on to each other until the end.
Let's talk about heartbreaking...Who can forget the mother who tucked her children into bed telling them a bed time story so they wouldn't suffer when the end came. And what about the mother cradling her infant as she floated in the frozen water. Whose eyes were still dry after that scene?
Was I really there for three hours and fifteen minutes? Did I become so engrossed in these people's lives that rich or poor, my heart cried for each and every one of them? Yes, and Yes.
If you haven't seen this movie, run do not walk to your nearest video store. If you have, then see it again. It gets better every time.
