Powerful, beautiful, everything I'd expect to see in a film.

Rating: 8/10 (27 July 2004)

Not only was James Cameron's directing excellent, but the performances by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet were spectacular. This movie not only shows the panic between Jack and Rose and the effects the sinking of Titanic has on them, but also of the officers and other passengers who know they will not make it through the night. It gives an incredible visual of what it would be like on the titanic and shows comparison between the upper class and lower class and their attitudes and feeling towards their last night on the "unsinkable ship." Though its obvious Titanic sinks at the end, James Cameron is still able to weave in a beautiful love piece and incredible visual effects making it feel as if your standing right next to Jack shouting I'm King of the World! A wonderful film, well deserving of the academy award for best picture. Eight out of ten.
