A Timeless Movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2006)

What can I say that hasn't already been said about James Cameron's Titanic? Those of you who haven't heard of it must have been living under a rock these past ten years, seeing as it remains the highest grossing movie of all time and won a remarkable 11 Oscars...yes, including Best Picture. There are people who hate it---people who seem unconvinced that a film of such grand spectacle and infinite popularity could possibly own up to the hype...and then there are those who love it. And I am proud to say that I am among the admirers. Maybe it's because I'm a hopeless romantic, but there's an appeal to the movie---a sort of magic that captivates me every time I watch it. Everyone should watch this movie at least once in their life, and while doing so, forget the mass popularity and view it as what it really is---a bittersweet, unforgettable love story.
